Connor does sound great. He needs a show on Radio 1 Dance, maybe that new breakfast show on it?

Surely Arielle will be in with a shout for that after leaving early breakfast?

It's nice to see some praise here while Digital Spy is ripping him apart! 😄

some people are absurdly critical. On a show like that the key thing is good energy and Connor has that. Though Mistajam is the master of that

DS critics are definitely the harshest. I rate Connor.

Actually the worst tends to be those who comment on Radio Today news stories.

People who haven’t listened to younger oriented radio stations in years who say things like “who?” about any job going to any presenter aged younger than 50.

Echo what most have said here. Connor has great energy which is important for that sort of slot and the shame for him is that the dance line-up is so strong that there's no obvious 'in' for him to get a regular slot -Danny, Sarah, Pete Tong, Arielle, Charlie Hedges, Jerry and Charlie Tee are all great in their slots.

A live show on Radio 1 Dance really feels the obvious way to get a proper foot in the door at Radio 1.

Although to be fair to the DS critic I think it was just the one poster and can very much hear Connor in my head saying 'in for the legend that is Charlie Hedges'.

I stand guilty as charged as the DS poster.... It was I

Okay, so yes Connor has good energy and does the show well, I take it back, however, my last experience of him he spent every other link saying "It's Connor Coates in for the ledge that is Charlie Hedges" and then he started saying "Clem Douglas" - again after critisising that I see she is styled as that sometimes

The point I was trying to make was, yes we know it's Charlies show, we know she is a ledge, and we know she is not here today, no need to keep reminding us

Regards R1 dance, I suspect Arielle is pointed at the drivetime slot to go against Mistajam unless we know it is breakfast that will be live ?

Apologies to Connor and anyone offended by my comments, was just going on my past experience of Mr Coates, who seems to be a very competnt presenter

Nothing to apologise about, I was just intrigued on how DS and UM react
