Having already told listeners and being scheduled in to be on-air Monday, today having looked at the schedule Dev will now sit in for Grimmy with The Radio 1 Breakfast Show....:(

I think I heard but might be wrong Jameela's now covering for Greg: EDIT - Adele is see below

No, it makes sense for Grimmy to be off if nobody else from the regular line up is on (although I do hate that Bank Holidays are always a bit half arsed on Radio 1- I'd just like everyone to carry on and do their shows as normal).

I don't like Dev's cover shows either- he never seems to put much effort into them (although most of his recent cover has been weekend/bank holiday, when it's the B Team anyway). I'm looking forward to him in for Greg on Wednesday though- some cover on a normal weekday where he can actually do a proper show instead of just short links between records.

I think Bank Holidays should be different in either having specialist takeovers or 10 hour takeovers or trying out new presenters. Does seem odd that Nicks left it now to decide he's not coming in... Does seem odd Gemma being on at 4am - would have thought have been better for Radio 1 to put Gemma in Gregs slot with Adele in at 4am unless Adele refused

On Friday, Nick made a comment during the Breakfast show saying that he wasn't sure if he was going to be working the Bank Holiday or not because "management don't tell you". Whether this was a joke or not, it makes sense that he is now not doing it because he was off on Easter Monday holiday as well which was a bank holiday. I'm sure I can remember Nick having previous Bank Holidays off as well.

Excellent first link from Adele....:cry: "It is Adele who is in for Dev who was in for Grimmy, who was supposed to be in for Greg. I'm now in for Greg who is kinda skiving...." I am sure she is a very nice woman but what the....

Grimmy is turning into Moyles taking all bank holidays off.

It would have been good to hear Matt Edmonson today, or Phil Taggart in for Greg.

Nearly all Breakfast DJ's have bank holidays off - if I'm right Grimmy's only done 1 bank holiday and that was because of Radio 1 Big weekend with either Scott or Dev covering
