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

    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
    • How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free? Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system? Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀
    • This research is based on the DJs’ voices - pitches, speech rates and fillers like ums and ahs they use - so it’s not affected by sound effects. But yes according to the report Scott is listed as a Radio 2 DJ instead of Radio 1.
    • The playlist has definitely got a bit narrower this year, it feels like. Artists like Taylor Swift, Harry Styles, Drake and  Doja Cat seem to be played in every show, even when they’re not on the playlist. Other artists who get a few plays a week, such as Niall Horan, always seem to have the same song played, in his case, Heaven. Whenever they dive into Calvin Harris’ backlog it always seems to be Slide and Promises pulled out, even though they’re two of his least upbeat songs. Most songs they play seem to have been from the 2020s, instead of throwing in a few older hits like Capital does, which is something I think they could do.
