Beccy to leave The Scott Mills Show!

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...

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

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
