The headline is "Could Nick Grimshaw be AXED...." The operative word here is "could". Anyone can question his job at any point, and besides, never trust the Mirror. They described Nick as a "curly haired radio DJ"...... Fear not. Nick won't be axed from a national breakfast show for missing one day of a weekday radio show, especially on a Monday.

He wasn't with the BBC then, though. The BBC has sense.

Wasn't that the Radio 1 breakfast show he was on when he wanted to take Fridays off in the mid 90's? I'd say 20 years on though, Chris Evans has won at life from that situation.

on the grid.

Because of the nature of The X Factor, the "fact" (get it... no... okay) that there is so long filming sessions, it would disrupt early mornings and would make Grimmy another face amongst the crowd of fired breakfast presenters.

I hate to say this, but I think he might be a good contender for The X Factor. I mean, his singing is shit, but he's entertaining.

And no, if he went to ITV, that's where he'd stay. I doubt he'd be able to work for both corporations, regardless of the job role!

Whoops - didn't read in to this enough to make an appropriate response!

A "source" told The Mirror that "Grimmy would be great with X Factor (.....) it will raise mixed emotions with the BBC, raising the profile for the breakfast show". Ah. Raising the profile. Meaning, he wouldn't leave.

Reports coming out today that Grimmy is in line to replace Louis on the X Factor. Could this get him axed? Although it would create exposure for his breakfast show would the Beeb really want him doing it?

I do know that Ben Cooper is not a fan of X Factor.

      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!

      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
