No way!! I think he must have been poached by Capital surely. What a shame that he never got the Radio 1 Breakfast Show! 
I genuinely can’t see anyone obvious waiting in the wings now for R1 Breakfast if Greg steps down. I’m guessing that Matt and Mollie might get it for a little while?

I don't think the bbc can release official press releases for a hoax or a wind-up. It's genuine.

Gutted. Shocked. Blindsided. And only 2 weeks left. What happened so suddenly?

I did notice that he spent New Year with Sian Welby and he put a photo of them together on Instagram a few days ago at an awards ceremony. 
 

I hope it is a move to another network and he hasn’t been sacked for other reasons…

Jordan turned 34 this week.  As I have said before if he didn't get breakfast ASAP he was never going to get it so if he had a big offer elsewhere, you can see why he'd snap it.

His podcast has become absolutely huge over the past year too.

I honestly think this could be the point where I tune out of Radio 1 after Greg (unless Jordan is doing Breakfast somewhere).  I stuck with Dean and Vicky simply as I didn't bother tuning out to come back but I can't listen to Jamie Laing so.

If he had been sacked, he wouldn't be still on air till the start of March. Definitely poached

Yeah and Katie is joking about it so I don't think he's been sacked.

I honestly thought he'd be given the breakfast show on Radio 1 this year, and he wouldn't go elsewhere. 

Surely this is setting up for a Roman Kemp exit from Capital breakfast, with Jordan taking over?

 

As for Jamie Laing... awful replacement in my eyes. Katie surely should've at least got it?

To be fair to Capital Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby is an awesome line up. 

Listening to Katie Thistleton clearly upset right now is an interesting listen!

Think this really is the biggest loss possible for Radio 1 - really does royally mess things up. Jamie Laing? He was Matt’s silly side kick, he’s not a Radio DJ.

Mirror headline is:

The Mirror

Jordan North quits BBC Radio 1 as he becomes latest star to leave amid mass exodus.

 

Body of the article is basically just the same as every other though.

Posted

Ken Bruce was given longer to say goodbye than Jordan North. Very strange things happening at Radio 1 - DJs sounding upset, one wonders if Greg is even off with Covid!

Radio Today suggests he'll have another 'high profile' programme in the future.

Can't understand why drive isn't given to Katie, I thought Vick would be the first off!

Posted

I think given how brief the statement is on R21 social, it's either got to be a prank for Mega Massive Monday as someone else mentioned, or that he is moving to another station. Very sad if he really is leaving... although I agree that he would be great with Chris and Sian on Capital!

Posted

I’m a bit surprised that Vick has stayed too. I thought that if Jordan went, she would go with him really and then have a whole new line up at drive. 
 

It’s a shame the Vick and Jordan (and Katie) partnership only lasted a couple of years because it was by far my favourite on radio 1

That just shows how sudden the announcement is really, poor Vick probably didn't have much of a chance to work things out, I doubt she'd just quit on the spot ... and they've also drafted in the emergency cover of Jamie Laing. Something very off about this, for sure.

    • I think Gary and the team have obviously gotten over the shock and know they have a job to do and need to move on.  I know what you mean about Sara she is brilliant on TeaTime it will feel weird if she's not on there anymore. But she will also be great on Breakfast 
    • As much as I hate him being papped like this, I was relieved to see that he was with Sam and Teddy. Being supported and getting out and about, it's what I had hoped would be happening. I just wish people didn't have jobs where they have  to take pictures of people who are having the toughest time of their lives.
    • I've noticed Sara referencing her R1 Breakfast Show days too this week, when she has been playing songs that are from that time.  I would be really chuffed for her if she got it, if she wants it of course. But it must be a much more difficult decision than it would be given the circumstances.  The early starts and the upheaval that must cause is one thing, but add to that replacing a friend who has been let go in the way that Scott has been.  Selfishly I was hoping it wouldn't be Sara, because I have really grown to love her current show. I did really enjoy her covering for Scott on Breakfast, but I would be back to the dilemma of R2 vs R1 for breakfast.  It's very well deserved though if it is Sara.  I've been really feeling for Gary and the rest of the breakfast guys covering. What an amazing job they are all doing to keep it together and to stay professional and keep a show going in these circumstances. If you didn't know anything was wrong, you wouldn't know anything was wrong from listening to them. 
    • I can't look at the pics anymore he looks so broken
    • Hopefully now that the press have got the photo of Scott seen for the first time they will leave him alone.    i have noticed that the majority of comments that’s have been left on this news article do seem to be supporting Scott. 
    • Poor Scott, he must know that the pap is there, it looks like even Teddy has spotted him.  They claim he is looking 'downbeat', which is no surprise given everything he has gone through in the last few weeks, but of course how do they expect him to look when he turns a corner to find someone pointing a camera at him? When he is probably just trying to do something normal like walk the dog to help his own wellbeing. Breaks my heart to see press vultures circling especially in circumstances like these. 
    • I imagine OJ Borg shall be promoted and replace Cox on drive.
    • The Sun are now reporting Sara Cox shall be the next host of the Radio 2 Breakfast Show and will be announced as Mills replacement in the Summer. She describes her job at Radio 2 as her dream job. Those at Radio 2 believe she is the best person for the job. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/38829761/sara-cox-radio-2-breakfast-show-job-scott-mills/
    • Now changed to:   5-7am Radio 1 Anthems 7-8am TBA Rest as mentioned..
    • Feels like they only do it on shows which have a 'with...' in the description
    • Not quite, they’re just updating the anthems shows. That and EB are the only thing which seem to be updated these days.
    • They're finally updating the schedules soon enough!
    • Just seen video of Scott walking his dog, what an absolute invasion of his privacy this story is weeks old, and the tabliods are hanging about his house like preying mantises, waiting for a picture of what? a couple walking a dog. He looks deshevelled and unshaved, Sam looks low as well but Scott looks broken. The man is going through merry hell and some pap is there pointing cameras in his face. He looks unshaved, thinner than ever and miserable. Leave him alone! It's not enough he has had his dream job ripped from under his feet quicker than he could blink his life is destroyed, he probably doesn't know who to trust in his circle and may be involved with legal action against the BBC and these paps are still making stories out of it. They are the ones responsible for this I maintain that the Mirror had the story, threatened to break it, the BBC asked for a few days to investigate and then it all blew up. Just shows how nasty these tabloids are and I hope he takes them to the cleaners like Elton John and others are. 
    • 18th April No Rap Show, replaced by Radio 1 Big Weekend highlights. 1st May Dean in for Greg on Breakfast
    • I think they will let Gary hold the fort fot the summer then start again from September. Yes total curve ball for Helen Thomas having to find a new host a year in
