I'm Roy Keane (he says having next to no knowledge of football).

I am really looking forward to hearing Greg's new show. Like the Buzzfeed article says, Greg has always put listeners first and always adapted his content to suit the audience. Something which you could say Grimmy failed on because he was so reliant on celeb guests/pals for contribution - that's why the days they didn't have guests on, the breakfast show sounded really stale.

I'm probably late this debate/party, but why on earth have R1 got Greg starting a week on Monday and Nick not starting until 3rd September? Surely it would have made sense to end both shows at the same time and start them at the same time?

Jessie J... WHOOOOoooOOOOOOOoooooooooOo!

Newsbeat has just tweeted a pic of the whole team, moments after Chris' last broadcast. Greg was there too. They are actual friendship goals!

I am comforted by the fact he's just moving behind the scenes 'for a bit' (I hope he gets behind the mic soon!), but it's also a huge loss.

I wondered how long it would take for someone to say this. Well played!

I really hope, in the final minute of Newsbeat, Chris gets joined by Greg (even though he's on leave) and says something like "Today is my last day... for a few weeks, then I'll be back with Greg in September. SURPRISE!"

I don't even recognise that song... *face palms*

Any guesses as to what song he hates most?

He's probably been tied up with all this Brexit stuff (and other things). I hope he'll still be on the podcast!

The flirtatiousness between Matt Fincham and ShowBot was hysterical at times. Made me realise just how genius Matt Fincham was as a producer.

I think Grimmy finally had enough with constant press negativity and decided to call it quits. Each time the RAJAR's were released, he had the backing of Ben Cooper, so I don't think he was forced out in the way Chris Moyles was. As for Greg's podcast, he has confirmed that is transferring across to breakfast with him which I am relieved about!

For those who may miss this announcement on the Chatbox, it has been announced this morning that Grimmy is leaving the breakfast show in September after 6 years. Greg will replace him and Grimmy will go to Drivetime.

I don't think it's at all weird. I think it's quite natural - especially if you listen to them every day and have done so for years. They share so much of their lives and you become invested; look at when Chris Stark announced he was getting married. That was a huge moment for me as a listener as I have listened to Scott and Chris for years - from the Tap End days and the stag dos/holidays in Kavos to this big thing.
