I havent been here this year yet but i just saw this on twitter and had to come here to say how sad i am that Beccy is leaving :( .

Sorry if for any spelling mistakes, I'm dyspraxic.

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.

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...

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.

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.

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.

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?

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. :-(

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?

I'm gonna miss becky a lot and I hope they don't replace her .

When I found out the news - I just felt sad especially because the illness has caused this . She's so brave talking about it

Hope she now has time to focus on her health which is more important.

The show is always better when she's on it so its gonna feel weird knowing she won't be on the show anymore

    • Saturday 8th August: Joel Dommett in for Dermot O'Leary  Ellie Taylor in for Emma Willis Sunday 9th August: Ricky Ross (lead singer of Deacon Blue) is presenting Sounds Of The 70's. W/C Monday 10th August: Joel Dommett is doing a second week on drivetime.   Clara Amfo sits in for Trevor Nelson on Thursday 13th August, with Mark Goodier sitting in on Friday 14th (Spoony's in Monday-Wednesday)
    • I was talking specially about summer ones. The Halloween ones are always mystery and never hunts (because they’re supposed to be small and quick presumably). 
    • Weekend Breakfast can become a bit of a content wasteland though. Look at the difference in show that Matt & Mollie did there compared to weekend afternoons. I totally agree with your point though, both shows are interchangeable but I think it’s a good call to have Mylo & Rosie on for 5 mornings a week. I haven’t seen it confirmed anywhere, but are we assuming they’ll still be Salford too? Could Emil being based in London mean that show is moved back there because weekends already have other Salford based shows?
    • Would the Murder Mystery from Halloween 2022 count?
    • Early and weekend breakfast I see as pretty similar. I expect Emil to do be doing quite a bit of weekday cover especially on going home so probably makes sense he does weekend breakfast. 
    • That's a good point about Giant Detention but I wouldn't say there's been an equal mix. We've had Giant Jigsaw, Giant DJ Hunt and Giant Face Off which were all hunt ones and before Giant Detention I think the last mystery one would've been Summer Breakout before Vick and Jordan started drive time.
    • Now I think about it, I’m surprised Mylo & Rosie and Emil Franchi weren’t the other way around. Wouldn’t it make more sense for a duo with years of breakfast experience to do weekend breakfast rather than be wasted on early breakfast? Not that Emil isn’t also more than capable but out of him and M+R pairing it would make more sense if he was on earlies? 
    • I didn't get a chance to reply. There aren't really many shocks though maybe; - James Cusack is a surprise exit but maybe he has something else lined up. A daily high profile show on a big network is likely to be better financially than being stuck on weekend breakfast at Radio 1 with no clear progression. - Going Home is clearly going to limp on as it is. - It feels strange Vicky Hawksworth is staying as no shows seem to have worked for her yet.  The new set-up for her doesn't feel like it will last forever. Nothing else is much of a surprise, presenters leaving that have reached the natural end of their Radio 1 life, full-time shows for tried and trusted cover and a big promotion for Jeremiah who has hardly been off daytime radio over the past year to 18 months.
    • Of course, me with short memory, that's likely! 😆
    • I would imagine they would be covering Going Home whilst Katie is on holiday
    • Would they be covering Breakfast?
    • 8th-9th August Mylo & Rosie in for Sam & Danni 9th August Pete Allison in for Lauren with Shanequa 10th-13th August Jerry in for Mollie with Matt Sam and Danni seems to be off their slots for a few weeks in August, wonder if they are covering elsewhere or just taking time off?
    • Saturday I reckon so, I don’t think they’d take him off lifehacks to do Sundays though but that is a possible could get away with a double shift.  
    • 14th August Mylo & Rosie in for Sam & Danni
    • Sorry I meant the week James is covering Greg, not next week.
