thats got the potential to turn the schedule upside down with mollie also off soon,  but isn't the sun known for bs

They're often spot on with stuff like Strictly and I'm A Celeb. It would be a good profile boost for him, like it was for Jordan North. A few weeks of cover on early breakfast shouldn't cause much disruption to the schedule

Really cant see where Dean could move to in terms of a new slot but yeah maybe a new station?

I can definitely see him on heart breakfast. Can't see how they can put him back onto a daytime weekday show.

Heart will want someone for breakfast who kinda remembers them in their childhood or are on a mainstream programme ala Jamie and Emma/Amanda. That won’t be Dean. Replacing Pandora or Matt Wilkinson I can see though

I'm dubious as to whether the I'm A Celebrity stint actually helped Jordan's career within Radio 1, because he'd already been upgraded to all 3 weekend days a few months beforehand. Plus I'm pretty sure he was next in line for daytimes and that still didn't happen for 9 months after he did the show.

But I think it did help his overall 'celebrity' status and got him onto Saturday Night Takeaway & probably within the eyes of Global when they knew Roman Kemp wanted to leave.

I cannot see any obvious place for Dean to go, as above Heart is not the right fit because they want someone who is nostalgic for their core audience. Capital are sorted with Jordan... maybe Hits Radio? But they seem set with Fleur East even if she seems like a strange booking to me...(and again, her star rose after being on I'm A Celeb!)

Snoochie Shy did I'm a Celeb and she came across well, but it didn't really do anything for her career save a few appearances on things, it's not a guarantee unless you really make it to the end. It's a bit of profile raising though and even if it doesn't get Dean a new 'job' he's probably got more of a chance to be a talking head, or get other bits and peices on the side. And easy money if you don't mind doing that sort of thing!!

I think I'm a Celeb benefits two sorts of person (a) those that have been forgotten about a little and need their career revived (The Vernon), (b) those that are very talented and just need a little more exposure to take their career to the next level (The Jordan).

Unless somebody acts like an idiot, it can generally only be a good thing.

For Dean - as others have said, I am sure it can boost his "talking head" / "panellist" profile.  Radio wise who knows, I can't really see him ever getting much promotion at Radio 1 again.  That's not to say he might not get another 5 years at the station in his current slot or weekend slots.  But it'd be pretty rare for anybody to get a big daytime slot, get demoted out of it and come back.

      Good point - they could do best of Greg, Live Lounge, Matt and Mollie (not sure there were any best bits of Dean and Vicky) and Going Home. Of course if Going Home was included they'd have to start after Jordan left 😛

      I’m pretty sure they’ve already said it will be late January. Apparently Trevor let slip at some point that his show was starting at the end of Jan so I’m guessing all the changes will take place on January 27th?

      I see Gaby is covering breakfast so I assume she is covering the following week as well and Scott starts on like the 6th or something? do you remember when Zoe started it was like the 2nd or 3rd of Jan 2019 wasn't it?

      Steffan Powell (former Radio 1 Newsbeat presenter/newsreader) is sitting in for Owain Wynn Evans on New Year's Day/2nd/3rd January. A few other schedule changes going into December: Shaun Keaveny in for Liza Tarbuck tonight (30th November) Tina Daheley in for Jeremy Vine on Tuesday 3rd December Jason Mohammed in for Owain on Friday 6th December. Romesh off again next week (7th) so Emma Willis sits in Nick Grimshaw in for Rylan on Saturday 14th, 21st and 28th (I assume he's in the following Saturday as well with Rylan still in Panto).

      I do wish they’d do more with Christmas limbo week than just anthems. Been my complaint each year. Letting them do playlists and requests would actually be so much better or even if Radio 1 did favourite content from the year (guests, Big Weekend, features etc). I’ll be turning off for limbo week again

      To be honest  I don't think the first point is that important. But the Anthems thing at christmas is now really dull - this is now 6 years of it. I'd rather it was very playlisted and just text ins and shouts.

      What do you think to my email to Aled?    Dear Aled. I hope you’re well. I just have a couple of queries regarding the Christmas schedules for Radio 1 that I hope you won’t mind answering. 1. What is the idea on the 23rd and 24th December cutting the shows to only 3 instead of 5 with Dean starting breakfast and both Lauren and Sam and Danni doing 4 hour shows? They are normal working days and I’d imagine the most fun to be working? I’d have early breakfast (cover) Dean atbreakfast, Lauren in mid morning and Sam or Danni to do afternoon and the other going home if you really couldn’t get other cover.  2. How come on the Christmas limbo week the only feature is anthems?  Why do the line up get to do the specialist shows but don’t get do their spin on the breakfast show, live lounge covers or other features. I get early breakfast being rested that week. Nadolig Llawen to everyone at Radio 1 and your family

      Pleased Christmas Day is at 7am as 8am is way too late.    New Year’s Day on the other hand should be no earlier than 7

      I’m surprised they’re going live as early as 6am on NYD - that feels very early considering last year it was 8am!
