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

Dean doing I’m A Celeb seems like a bit niche for The Sun to make up, he’s hardly a huge star. Be interesting to see if it boosts his career at all… you either go Jordan North or Adele Roberts on this show

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.

      Radio 1 Summer Schedule

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      There's been a lot of positive reaction to the Mylo and Rosie news so am interested now to hear what their shows are like. And yep wouldn't be surprised if they stay on beyond July as cover ever so often. And that Friday-Sunday news was hidden in the small print a little. It presumably means we lose Party Anthems all that month as that is what has happened this year with Big Weekend, Glasto for example. I certainly I hope it isn't Party Anthems being quietly axed full stop - it and Future Pop are 2 real hidden gems on Radio 1.

      I’m pleased for Mylo and Rosie, they were highly thought of in our local area and definitely worthy of that slot

      -Considering how little Jamie has appeared since Vick went off on maternity, it probably would've been more sensible to have Sam & Danni taking over from that point and have him return with Katie. - Mylo and Rosie are apparently very good and one of the more popular local presenters who lost their slot when Hits went fully national. I gather they are very popular in Yorkshire. I can see them definitely see them popping up again beyond this stint. -Life Hacks cover is yet another good opportunity for some new voices (I know Yinka has popped up in the past). I have enjoyed Pete Allison covering though. I'm assuming most of August's Friday to Sunday 1-4pm will be made up of festival coverage.
