On Thursday 14 March, The BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw will be attempting to raise as much money as possible for Comic Relief in a three-and-half-hour show.

From 6.30am, Nick will be joined by a whole host of guests who he will call on to do some weird and wonderful things to help raise money for Red Nose Day. Listeners can watch all the action live on the red button and on the Radio 1 website throughout the morning.

Some of the guests confirmed so far include David Walliams, Little Mix, Jessie J, Conor Maynard, Rizzle Kicks, Union J, Louis Smith, Claudia Winkleman and Wretch 32 – with more to be announced shortly.

Radio 1 will be inviting as many people as possible to join the effort to raise money. All the money raised can help change lives forever across the UK and Africa. Listeners can donate on the day by texting the word ‘HELP’ to 70005 or by visiting bbc.co.uk/radio1. Texts costs £5 plus your standard network message charge. Donators must be 16 years or older and have the bill payer’s permission. Full terms and conditions are available on the website.

Nick Grimshaw says: “I’m really excited to be so heavily involved in Comic Relief this year – I can’t wait to do a mega show and hopefully raise a lot of money for charity!”

Andy Worrell , Editor of the Radio 1 Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw, says: “We’re putting together an exciting three-and-a-half hours full of adventure and fun, all to raise money for brilliant causes in Africa and right here in the UK. Expect to see some amazing surprise guests throughout the show too!"

So Chris Moyles can climb a mountain and do 52 hours on air but his replacement just gets some celebrity guests on the show and effectively gets a much easier show out of it. Hate Grimmy.

I think that you're being more than a tad harsh here. The big 'adventure' challenges seem to be shared among the DJs, Chris and Fearne did Killi, Scott did the dessert and Greg did the boats this year. I think it was probably too soon in his reign for Grimmy to do one of those this year but I'm sure his time will come, probably next time! He could never try to do anything like what Chris and Dave did in 2011, it's too soon. So I think this is about right, he's promoting Comic Relief (He's actually doing lots of stuff for them, he did the Brand gig, the Norton show and will be presenting 'on the night'!). Perhaps it could have been a little 'bigger', maybe on OB or atleast in The Radio Theatre.

Also why on Thursday and not Friday?

    • Annie did the Friday night dance show as well so I think that made her more prominent. She's an excellent presenter at new music and I think Jack is the perfect successor for this show. Clara was always in the 'good' category for me. She's been around since I started listening to R1 so feels a bit weird she's leaving. Think it's only Greg, Matt, Danny Howard and Pete Tong left now!
    • See I don’t agree…I think the three way dynamic is not really working. Vick & Katie are really great together and I enjoy Vick & Jamie together. It’s something between Katie & Jamie that’s not gelling for me. However it’s early days and they are still much better than some other combos. Plus Matt & Jamie were radio comedy gold for me so I don’t think Jamie’s the problem. Just maybe didn’t need to be a three. 
    • HAppy birthday Scott mills I hope u like the photo sent to you and I hope u recived my massive birthday CARD as I sent it to BBC RADIO 2 broadcasting house on special recorded delivery for you as let me if u have got it as I wrote a very large letter to you inside the card and sent a photo inside the card as well your biggest fan Yolanda xxxx LOVE 💖 YOU MILLIONS SCOTT  MILLS 
    • It's rather sad that Pink News is even running this - they should know better.
    • I was invested in the show when it was Vick and Jordan / Katie - now I don't pay attention and might leave the station when Jordan starts on Capital.  What I do hear is a mix of formulaic and awful.   It's strange how one person leaving a station can affect your outlook on the whole station.
    • Happy birthday Scott! Hurry up and get back on the airwaves 😊
    • Think it just depends on his commitments but agree he's a good listen. 
    • I liked her last show, but I don’t feel it had the same impact as Annie’s show. Also, I feel her tenure was quite short to be honest, so don’t understand what the sentiments are all about. I mean Annie did this show for 6 years and Zane Lowe for 12, compared to Clara’s 3 years. Looking forward to Jack taking over from her - I think he has a lot of influence from Zane Lowe and we need that energy in 6pm slot.
    • I wonder if R1 will do a big event type thing on the week that Jordan starts on Capital? It will minimise the number of people turning over I’d guess 
    • Hard to believe that all the new shows from September 2021 are now pretty much over, aside from RMC on the live lounge show, and even then, they seemed to change things up after 18 months or so. It feels like yesterday since 6th September 2021 when all those new shows began!  
    • I've never listened to Rylan before this week but have found him to be excellent.  He should be Scott's main cover going forwards
    • Always thought Arielle would get this show. She's the most natural presenter to Annie Mac. Maybe it was something to do with her Dj career and residencies in Ibiza
    • Sad that she said she felt different to others at Radio 1 having come from 1Xtra. Lovely how supportive Greg was through her career. 
    • To be honest she never filled Annie’s shoes in my eyes. It’s been a disappointing tenure having not been able to grow her show. It’s a stark contrast from her mid morning show where I preferred her to RMC.
    • Yesterday when Katie was off was nearly unlistenable. Shows how vital she is in the show dynamic.
