As Riz said Scott doesnt want to be "labelled" as the gay one, to be honest I think that it doesnt matter at all and he doesnt have to tell everyone about it on air its his own choice if he does or not, which is what people accept and dont really seem to question.

No offence, but it's just not worth it. If he doesn't want to talk about it, he shouldn't have to. It's his own choice. :)

I know that. But he made the choice to 'come out'. Why come out and then not talk about it on his radio programme? It is own choice and you are right. It is just curiosity.

Correct me if I'm wrong he was voted an influential homosexual. He is recognised as someone important, this is why I just found it odd he doesn't talk about it. There is a different between talking about sex with men and just mentioning he went on a date with a man.

Well said Ema. It seems to regularly come up, but why bemuses me.

*takes a bow*

I could add more, and correct my rubbish punctuation but I really need to wash my hair and make a list of stuff I want from Ikea...

Try looking at it from a gay guy's perspective. I think he has guts to come out. As a teenager I've followed him knowing that he is accepted in society for that. But it is difficult to comprehend why he would come out and then not ever mention it again.

Since everyones giving their point of you ill give you mine. Scott doesnt hide his sexuality! do you expect a notice before every show making it clear that scott is gay?

Scott is in my opinion the Funniest Man on the radio, its up to him whether he talks about his sexuality but he isnt hiding it!

Also if your looking for someone like scott as a role model why would you want to change him to suit your needs?

Hi there...

I think you're all looking at it very differently to how I see it. The hints are there, and to me that's his way of making people aware of his sexuality. I think the show uses a bit of reverse psychology and trickery like that... just take Chappers' stance on Geek World for an example. It's a bit of fun how he comes across on air.

But the reason why Scott doesn't talk about it is the same with Laura, the one that doesn't speak and Chopper. Unlike the Chris Moyles show, they don't talk about their private lives. You hear selected bits if it's crucial to running a feature, other then that it's kept off the air. That's why you don't hear much about Chopper's private life, or who Scott might be with.

And as you all say, why does it matter? It's a very different show to the breakfast show. This show takes into account some details and stories of the team's lives that they want to share, and interact with the listeners to hear their stories. It's more about us than them.

So it's the same with Scott's private life. A combination of that and the factors already mentioned.

I have, however, read he sometimes takes time to read through listeners e-mails from those struggling with their sexuality. So you could always e-mail him, he does read them...

He's come out as gay, so it's no secret, and I think it's best that he doesn't refer to it openly on air, as I think DC said once about him never being like "coooey!", it makes much better listening if you hear Chopper mentioning he never has much luck with the ladies etc, etc.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.
