Fearne Cotton has just announced that Sara Cox will sit in for her ln Monday 17 February as she is filming for Celebrity Juice. She also announced that this show will be Sara's last EVER show on BBC Radio 1!

Bit of a low key exit for Sara really considering all the years she's been there, she was the breakfast show host afterall. Won't listen live but will probably save it from listen again. There's only Scott left now really that I can still relate to from when I used to listen to Radio 1 frequently.

on the grid.

If anyone's interested I have from 9:55 to 13:00 so from the last 5 mins of the breakfast show to the end of newsbeat, a lot of skipping though. After I have listened to it all, I will upload Sara's last radio 1 link!

The show was basically made up of goodbye messages from people, Sara's favourite music and a game of Real or no real! I can't upload the final link but it was just Sara signing off and the crowd of people around her cheering, before the last song Feel My Love , she read out a list of people and thanked them! I would rate the show a 9.5 out of 10 because it was up there with shows like The Final Chris Moyles Show!

All the best to Sara for the future at radio 2.It was a great send off .It would have been a shame if she hadn't been allowed to do an official last show and at least she doesn't have to fruitlessly hang about for months waiting for the phone to ring for her next bit of stand in duties.

Incidentally her departure means that of the 12 DJs from the 1990s who were still on radio one when Ben Cooper took over as controller 2 years ago just 4 (Scott, Pete Tong,Annie Nightingale and Huw Stephens) are left.(and Huw could only be heard in Wales for the first few years). Sara joins Moyles, Westwood,Trevor Nelson, Judge Jules Fabio and Grooverider and Giles Peterson out the ageism door. How much longer can Scott hold on for I wonder?

To be fair, Trevor Nelson is still at the station doing his Monday-Friday show at the same time as Fearne over on 1Xtra. I think he left his Saturday night show to have more free time as he does his daily 1Xtra show plus a soul based show on Wednesday nights on Radio 2.

I highly doubt that he actually left. His R1 Saturday night show was legendary and was probably his highest listened to show. It was all part of a revamp of Saturday nights and as steve24 points out, Trevor and Westwood were the latest victims of the ageism axe.

    • Richie Anderson in for Rylan tomorrow.
    • Mylo and Rosie said at the end of their show today that they would also be on Early Breakfast on Thursday 24th July (even though the schedule still says Dean)
    • James is in for Dean from Monday 11th to Thursday 14th August. Dean is in for Greg from Monday 11th to Friday 15th August. Jaguar is in for Sarah on Friday 15th August.
    • Tara Kumar is in for Alyx on Sunday 13th July.
    • Conor Knight & Lauren Layfield are in for Matt & Mollie on Monday 14th July.  Matt is solo on Tuesday 15th July.  Jerry is in for Mollie between Wednesday 16th & Thursday 24th July.  Maia Beth is covering Future Pop on Wednesday 16th & Wednesday 23rd July. On Sunday 27th July the Chillest Show is reduced to an hour, and 20.00-21.00 is a BBC Proms special with JADE. On Thursday 31st July 18.00-20.00 in place of Jack's show it's the Dance Party Warm-Up with Danny Howard (ahead of the Ibiza weekend).
    • Dean McCullough in for Greg w/c 4th August. James Cusack on EB.
    • Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter. 
    • Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?
    • Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.
    • Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!
    • Jamie Laing’s last show before his summer break will be on Wednesday 16th July.
    • I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days 
    • Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.
    • With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.
    • Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
