EXCLUSIVE: Nick Grimshaw QUITS Radio One after 14 year stint

The presenter, 36, who joined BBC Radio 1 in September 2007, is hanging up his microphone, with Jordan North and Vick Hope set to takeover his Drivetime show.

Shocked that Grimshaw would quit as he never seems comfortable in front of the camera, so I don't expect TV work. Maybe he will end up on Heart like Dev did? Love Vick Hope and Jordan North so I am happy with this.

I absolutely HATE Claudia winkleman’s show on R2

Don’t hold back - why don’t you like it? I’m not a fan and don’t listen to it either. There’s loads of good stuff on the Sounds App to listen to instead.

From what I can see, the BBC London figures went down. I presume the grey blob is during the pandemic, does anyone know or can interpret?

 

[VeeJayBee]

Oh yes, and it’s not Aurie Styla as the presenter. It’s Amelia Poamz.

I didn't know there was a new presenter.

I enjoy the cheesy handover between Tony Blackburn and Dermot O'leary on a Sat morning.
You can tell they genuinely like each other.
Brings a smile to one's face.

What station is this? I thought Tony Blackburn was dead.

I enjoyed yesterdays’s Saturday Live. It featured Anthea Allen, a critical care nurse at St. George’s Hospital in Tooting who has just written a book, Naughty Boy, musician who talked about caring for his mother who has dementia, and Mary McCartney.

Hmm, Robert Peston is Robert Elms’ Listed Londoner today, because he’s written a novel called Whistleblower. He was also on the Fortunately podcast with Fi and Jane. Not sure I will be able to listen for long.

I imagine there will be plenty of long pauses and ummms & aaahs.

The guest, Jack Thorne, on Desert Island Discs just now has just broken down & cried talking about his father.

Jeremy Vine off on holiday again, quite prefer the stand-in lady, Tina.
Much easier on the ears.

Is that Nicky Campbell’s wife?

How can I find desert island discs?

He could have been sacked but was allowed to say it was his choice. That’s a large salary to give up.

Johnnie Walker's show is good today, with a tribute to dear Freddie Mercury who would've been 75 this weekend.

Her new video

Post on the Minx thread.

Claira Hermet sitting in for Jo Good on BBC Radio London is hard to listen to, the stiff way she reads out a topic is like she's giving out homework. Obviously never heard of Anya Hindmarch either.

 

[VeeJayBee]

I tuned in to hear Eddie Nestor's first show in the Monday to Thursday, 10am to 2pm slot on BBC Radio London, he having previously been on drivetime. He addressed the fact it might be considered a demotion, as breakfast and drive are the main shows, but made it clear he does not consider it a demotion. He said Robert Elms (who used to be on at 10am) has been very kind to him, I wonder if Jeanette Kwakye will say the same about her predecessor in the afternoon slot, Jo Good. It will be interesting to see if JK promotes her personal social media accounts, as Jo Good did with impunity. Like Jo, Jeanette promotes companies with which she enjoys commercial agreements.

I was suprised to hear music on eddie Nestor's show, it is some respite as he will be discussing the day's issues, so far he just seems to be carrying on from Vanessa. I am now tuning out as I do not want to listen to the same thing until 2pm, very heavy going, not least becuase I can't stand EN's voice and manner.

Misspelling, Johnny I’Anson.

Radio 4 lunchtime news had an Heathrow airport worker on called Wayne King

I wonder if he gave that name as a joke. Or a dare.

On BBC Radio London now is Life’s Second Chances, about people who have recovered from Covid 19, interspersed with music. I’ve definitely heard this before. The Make a Difference Heroes Meet aired twice yesterday.

 

[Bobby Chariot]

I’m struggling with listening to him right now. For a broadcaster, his delivery is shit. He rambled on and on and doesn’t seem to have prepared any answers which is tedious.


I don’t think I know who Jack Thorne is.

Believe he is a screenwriter, he was getting quite political at times, in amongst the sobbing.
Quite a forgettable episode.

And Vanessa Feltz continues to post relentlessly on her Insta account. So many of them are set ups. The Pip Scofield one where she was talking about getting an Only Fans account and the one with her and her boyfriend in bed together….have you seen her account @Miss LDN ? She was peeling eggs yesterday for guests coming over and mentioned bagels. Does she get them in Panzers? They weren’t tagged. But bagels were hashtagged. Panzer she must supply bagel to all of St. John’s Wood including Paul McCartney. He had imparted his filled bagel recipe a few times and mentions Panzers.
