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.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now
