The other weird one is Katie. She never moved to London but stayed there. I can't see her doing that with her baby. Going Home has had no feel or consistency since Jordan left.

He said on the show before he went off that he wanted to talk about it when he was ready so I don't think he was forced. Glad he is in a good place anyhow and so important he talked about it.

Yes - I didn't realise Jack was sick.

I wonder why not James.. Lauren did ok today but nothing will beat that final cover Jordan did of the chart where he binned the format and basically did it as a regular show.

Interesting another previous Friday Early Breakfast presenter is back.

Lawyers are all over these stories. They might be exaggerated or some details wrong but it is based on something they could stand over in court (normally!)

There were already some comments on X about Dean's behaviour at Radio 1. All in all none of this is good for his career.

Good point - they could do best of Greg, Live Lounge, Matt and Mollie (not sure there were any best bits of Dean and Vicky) and Going Home. Of course if Going Home was included they'd have to start after Jordan left 😛

To be honest I don't think the first point is that important. But the Anthems thing at christmas is now really dull - this is now 6 years of it. I'd rather it was very playlisted and just text ins and shouts.

Didn't he do it last year too?

The more surprising thing about Radio 2 is Vine still there. Tina is the obvious replacement and most people seem to prefer her in that slot than him. He is a parody of himself now.

I have felt for a while that Jerry would eventually get daytime work, he is great and far more than a specialist presenter.

That's journalism waffle.

I think I'm a Celeb benefits two sorts of person (a) those that have been forgotten about a little and need their career revived (The Vernon), (b) those that are very talented and just need a little more exposure to take their career to the next level (The Jordan). Unless somebody acts like an idiot, it can generally only be a good thing. For Dean - as others have said, I am sure it can boost his "talking head" / "panellist" profile. Radio wise who knows, I can't really see him ever getting much promotion at Radio 1 again. That's not to say he might not get another 5 years at the station in his current slot or weekend slots. But it'd be pretty rare for anybody to get a big daytime slot, get demoted out of it and come back.

I am even older - I remember how great Mark Radcliffe was on that slot (Lard wasn't even named as co-presenter at that stage).
