Moyles Now Too Thin For Role

Chris Moyles may have to put a stop to his dieting as his recent weight loss means he's getting too thin to play King Herod in Andrew Lloyd Webber's new musical.

Since he signed up for Jesus Christ Superstar, the Radio 1 DJ has slimmed down dramatically.

'We signed Chris and now he's gone and lost all that weight,' says Andrew, 64.

'Herod was a big man, so it looks like it will be a fat suit.'

Chris, 38 - who recently revealed he's quitting the Radio 1 Breakfast Show after eight years to be replaced by Nick Grimshaw - was approached personally by Andrew to appear in the musical.

'Having Chris was my idea,' he tells the Daily Star.

'I knew he could sing because I'd seen him on The X Factor: Battle Of The Stars back in 2006 and we did the usual sing-song around the piano before I hired him.'

Chris will star alongside Mel C, Tim Minchin and the winner of new ITV1 show Superstar.

This amuses me endlessly, Moyles in a fat suit? haha

I find it odd that ALW wants to put him in a fat suit as Herod hasnt always been fat as he wasnt fat in either the 1973 film or the 2000 film. And more people in the world will see those representations of JCS than any other. Just seems odd to me.

And I won't sit down,

And I won't shut up,

But most of all I will not grow up <3

I personally just cant wait. My grandad offered to take my sister and I to see either this or Viva Forever (based on the music of the Spice Girls) I want to see JCS but my sister wants to see Viva Forever and apparently just shouting MOYLES and MINCHIN at her is not a valid argument as to why we should go and see it.

But King Herods song is probably my favourite song of the whole musical. Moyles should be brilliant in this role - fat suit or no fat suit

And I won't sit down,

And I won't shut up,

But most of all I will not grow up <3

    • Bank Holiday Monday Schedule 6am-10am: Arielle Free in for Greg 10am-2pm: Dean & Vicky (No Rickie, Melvin & Charlie) 2pm-6pm: Vick & Jamie (No Katie) 6pm onwards: As normal.
    • Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.
    • I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.  
    • The Eurovision semi finals are on from 8 to 10pm on Tuesday 7th and Thursday 9th May with Richie Anderson. That means Sara Cox in on till 8 on those days.  Saturday 11th May is Eurovision 'Super Saturday... 1-3pm Your Ultimate Abba song with Gary Davies  3-6pm Michelle Visage's Eurovision All Stars 6-8pm Eurovision Request Party with Owain Wynn Evans 8pm Eurovision Grand Final with Scott Mills and Rylan Clark  
    • It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.
    • Some similar names to Big Weekend.  Sabrina Carpenter, David Guetta, Perrie, Bradley Simpson, Jax Jones, Caity Baser, Benson Boone, Rudimental. David Guetta is a good name. 
    • Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me. 
    • Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.
    • Arielle has been on holiday for the last 2 weeks getting married / honeymoon.  It'll be live from this week onwards.
    • CassKidd is in for Sian on Sunday 5th May.
    • The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!
    • The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.
    • Gary Davies in for Vernon Kay tomorrow (Monday 29th April).
    • When Scott and Chris announced their departure from R1, I remember there was lots of speculation about who would take over the 1pm slot. Matt and Mollie were talked about a lot on here, and at the time I really didn't rate them as a replacement. A few years on, I see that I was totally wrong. They are such a good pairing, and it's the same kind of duo as Scott and Chris, in that they are real life friends, who spend time together in their real lives, which really does come across on air. True friends having a laugh together, and everyone is invited is how it feels to me now. I never thought about it before, but I agree with @coffeeandgin that Mollie is the Scott of the duo - pop obsessed and maybe a litte ditsy, but so funny, and in need of someone to anchor to or bounce off.  It seems that Matt is the kind of Chris of the duo then in that comparison, the one with the ideas, but also needs another person to make the magic happen. I know I'm outside of the R1 demographic, and maybe Dean and Vicky were meant to be younger and fresher, but I'm sure in my younger years I would have preferred to listen to two people who had a genuine connection and could really make each other laugh, as well as have the listeners laugh along. That was the Scott and Chris factor for me, and I think the only pair that come close to that now are Matt and Mollie.
