  1. I didn't catch the full announcement, but now I've listened back to the beginning of yesterday's show and Annie said "I'm gonna be away for the next three weeks". It doesn't start next week according to R1 schedule, but as it's supposed to be a build up for The Biggest Weekend, I reckon it'll start on the 7th of May and continue till the event itself. Fully agree with you on that. Grimmy's been paired with Bastille and I remember from 2 years back now, when Dan came to co-host the show with him and Craig David, that Grimmy was much much better than usual. So fingers crossed, it'll be nice to listen to. As for Dotty - I don't listen to her show, so don't know what to expect. Clara - well, I'm not a fan of her. She's good technically (when to press the buttons and all that staff), but she's also a tad boring. But then again, she might do well in this different format (she got Blossoms).
  2. Wow, Annie's just announced that she won't be there for three weeks and that the show will be taken over by some artists (Stefflon Don, Bastille and Blossoms), supported by R1 DJs: Dotty, Grimmy and Clara. Each of the duo (artist + DJ) will be taking over the whole week. Should be interesting...
  3. Yes, very weird. And they're playing bits of it now as well. Maybe they wanted to get 5SOS fans to listen to the breakfast show (there's quite a lot of them) but the feature was so good that Scott and Chris also wanted to have it. Or maybe there's no logic behind this. The prank was good though. Although you could tell Scott was cringing all the way through it.
  4. Well, sometimes it's a matter of a mental barrier. And the first long distance race is really gruelling (although I think he did a couple of halfs in the past). Also, some minor injuries (shin splints being the most common) will influence your training as well and then you're too scared to keep going, simply because you're not really keen on pain. Training plan takes a lot of time too and if you're new to running, you'll hate it at first. A bit of a running nerd talk here, sorry for that. Having said that - I think it's a shame that Scott didn't run, but it might be (and probably is) something more than just laziness. Hope he'll do it one day though as he said he'd like to (in the video I've posted before). Side note - Adele obviously smashed her race, but Dev is a real wonder to me. Running only as far as 10k before and doing a marathon in a pretty decent time. He's a natural apparently!
  5. There's also this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xRaaDQnKkWM I mean, he said he was going to do it in the video. If nothing has changed, then I guess he is going to do it. Although it's really hard to believe him not mentioning it on the show once. Don't get me wrong, I don't mean Scott bragging about it. It's just his first ever marathon and I know how much freaking out it involves. Adele, Dev and Danny Howard have all been mentioning this quite a lot (also - Dev's just said that he's forgotten to book a day off for tomorrow, got to love that man), so it's all pretty confusing. EDIT (after some research): The video is from early February and this picture: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bgn5kvGFHmV/ is from late March. There's Adele in the back, but no Scott there. So I'd say he isn't doing it this year. Which is very fine, as running a marathon is pure hell.
  6. disclaimer: I didn't really know where to put this post, this thread seemed the most suitable. So, is Scott doing the VLM tomorrow? I've found this here https://www.telegraph.co.uk/athletics/2018/04/20/london-marathon-2018-date-race-time-starts-weather-transport/ If he is, then he's been rather quiet about it. Then again, this would be a sign of great modesty from him
