BlueSkies 12 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Really sad news Unfortunately though I have kind of been waiting for it with her ill health the past year. When Beccy didn't announce she was leaving before Christmas I thought that, for now anyway, she would remain on the show.Beccy has been a fantastic team member, and she will be really missed. What with Moyles leaving, Scott being swapped to afternoons and now Beccy leaving the show, all the bits I love about Radio 1 are vanishing. Good luck Beccy for the future, and with your health. You will be missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueSkies 12 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Do you think Beccy will be replaced, or will it just be Scott and Chris from now on, with other presenters and staff coming in for Innuendo Bingo, Real Or No Real etc.?

harrysmyth 14 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I am just so gutted that my favourite member of the team is leaving. Not only is it a great loss to losing her to an off-air role when she is just SO witty and contributes so much value to the show, its just upsetting her MS has led her to having to take a part time role. MS has such a devestating impact on peoples lives and when it affects members of my family, I can understand what she is going through. However, she is dealing with it with such courage and determination and is such a credit to other MS sufferers. I gueninely wish her the best and hope she doesnt distance herself too far from Scott Mills show, hope we keep updated on how she is and what she is up to. I think whoever is the new AP has big shoes to fill! Its just such a shame she had to leave for these reasons.I thought I'd just sign off this post with a brilliant picture Beccy posted over Christmas...

joneso 10 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I couldn't believe this when I spotted the podcast title just now. If you happen to see this Beccy, I just want to say how much I've loved listening to you on the show over the past couple of years - thanks for everything, and best of luck for the future. The show won't be the same without you. Quote http://beccy-raps.webs.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tvguy101 10 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Sad to see Beccy go, but hopefully this allows her more time to take care of herself. She was one of the best parts of Scott's show over the past four years, and will be deeply missed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono 60 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Very sad about this. Beccy has been a real asset to the show, and a true fan when she joined too. The show is so much livelier when she is around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkAngelMJH 12 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 I think Friday will be an interesting show, hopefully with some of Beccy's best bits. She was lovely when I met her at Scott Mills:The Musical and had a picture taken Still sad to hear that she's leaving.

harrysmyth 14 Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Beccy was saying on twitter that she is going full time with the Impact and Development team/big events. I'm slightly confused/in mourning, so maybe I dont fully understand the situation but I thought her diagnosis of MS meant she had to go part time due to physical excertion of a 5 day commute from Reading but it seems she is moving to a full time, off-air role. Can anyone explain this decision for me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harkinson 11 Posted January 15, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Well, Scott will need a new Assistant Producer so she must be getting replaced?Not sure if they'll have an on-air role though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tweetie 10 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 so sad that she is leavingAll the best to her for the future Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viv 14 Posted January 16, 2013 Report Share Posted January 16, 2013 So sad.... Only quite recently she was running around the Fringe Festival - that's when I met her - an efficient lady (not really like her on-air slightly "ditsy" persona really). She is showing such courage in dealing with the entire situation as well. I am truly sorry it has come to this. :-( Quote Delta Machine, Depeche Mode - buy NOW !! http://youtu.be/59dZzXLPRg0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone explain this decision for me?Hmmm. Just spotted this?! Could she possibly be able to do a lot of the work/research from home, and be e-mailing stuff into R1? Maybe?!?I mean, if they e-mail her templates to complete, blah, blah, blah?! She could then just come in once/week even?
