The other weird one is Katie.  She never moved to London but stayed there.  I can't see her doing that with her baby. Going Home has had no feel or consistency since Jordan left.

It wouldn't surprise me if Vick Hope left at the end of the month and then I think Emil Franchi would host the show with Jamie Laing from Monday - Wednesday and then on Thursday either Emil would host the show solo or they would have Sam & Danni do it and then in September Katie will be back!

I don't think Jamie is likely to leave anytime soon. Seems he really wanted to do this job, despite some people thinking he's not a great fit, so I suspect he'll be around for a while. Vick is indeed much more likely not to be on in a year from now I think.

Wouldn't shock me if (as seems to be the case) Vick is pregnant that when Katie gets back and Vick goes on leave, we get an announced 'maternity leave' line-up (perhaps including Jerry or Emil) to give a bit of consistency to Going Home.  Plus it could act as succession if a) Vick were to decide post maternity leave she doesn't want to return to a full-time role on Radio 1 or b) Jamie decides to leave at some stage.

I sort of presumed Katie wouldn't be back until Autumn anyway. But yep even by Going Home standards (and excluding Monday as it was a bank holiday) this past week was a proper 'Spin The Roulette' in terms of the line-up with 5 presenters used across only 3 days. I do wonder how much longer Vick will be around - even ignoring the pregnancy (which hasn't been officially announced by her but seems an open secret) she has so many other commitments I'm surprised she's continued on Radio 1 as long as she has. Certainly of the original Going Home team if I was expecting one to leave it was Vick not Jordan.

Josh Widdecombe in for Romesh on Saturday 31st May. He was actually quite good when he sat in the other month, so it's good to see him covering again.

Maybe they got inspiration from Absolute Radio 20s

I’m pretty sure Katie said she wouldn’t be back until after the summer. 

Pete Allison is on Life Hacks with Lauren on Sunday 1st June. Emerald is in for Martha on Tuesday 3rd June.

Katie mentioned in her Instagram stories last week that she was planning to return for Radio 1’s Big Weekend, but that’s not happening anymore. When do you think she’ll be back? It seems Vick is already on ‘pre-maternity’ leave—she’s barely been on the radio this month. Considering that Vick doesn’t need Radio 1’s money (rich husband and other side jobs), when do you think she will go on leave, how long will she be away, and will she return to the radio station at all?" And then - what would happen with Going home?

Lauren Redfern is the Friday Early Breakfast presenter for June.

Phil Williams in for OJ Borg next Wednesday (13th May) and w/c 26th May for the week. Connor Phillips sits in on Friday 16th May. Emma Willis in for Sara Cox on Monday 2nd and Tuesday 3rd June.

Friday 4th June Lauren Layfield in for Danni alongside Sam James Cusack on the Official Chart in for Jack Saunders.

Joel Mitchell being the duty presenter then with James persumably doing some of the live big weekend shows
