MOVE over Cat Deeley – telly babe Fearne Cotton has just landed a major gig in the US.

The bubbly blonde, 25, has signed a big-money deal with NBC to host The Guinness Book Of World Records – Live!

She follows in the footsteps of ex-ITV host Cat, 31, who was lured to Hollywood two years ago.

Cat has been a huge success across the pond, being paid a reported £2million to front So You Think You Can Dance? She has also hosted a slot on the popular Tonight Show With Jay Leno.

Fearne’s two-hour Guinness Records special will feature a countdown of the craziest records ever held. The show will end with a live motorcycle stunt in which Clint Ewing, 27, will try to ride through the longest-ever tunnel of fire.

The Xtra Factor host Fearne was picked for the show ahead of a string of American presenters. She flew to LA this week to meet network execs and rehearse for the programme, which airs in the US on Sunday.

A pal said last night: “It’s a huge opportunity for her, loads of British stars try to make it in Hollywood but only some succeed.

“She will be getting primetime exposure on one of the country’s biggest channels.

“There is even talk of her doing other things after the Guinness show. It’s a dream come true.”

Jesus... Can't she stay at radio 1 for more that 3 weeks without getting a nose bleed?

Still, i guess it means she won't be covering for Edith on her Maternity leave which can only be a good thing

:yeahthat:

The Yanks are welcome to her. Probably wont be able to understand her accent though.:rolleyes:

Looks like we're going to lose Fearne soon by the sound of things. Could be Dick and Dom next on the chart show.

that was meant to be a joke actually :|

Radio one are in serious danger of losing all their female djs at this rate.Cox and Edith are on maternity leave for most of the year,fearne looks like shes off soon, and now Jo Whiley is in big trouble over another phone voting scandal. Looks like maybe Mary Anne Hobbs will have to make a comeback on daytime radio to fill the gap!

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By AndyK77 · Posted

      It's amazing how stable that slot has been over the past 20 years - 3 presenters only. By comparison, the previous 20 years seen 8 or 10 presenters depending how you measure it.  (Whether you treat Kevin and Zoe as separate to Zoe and whether you count Mark Goodier's 4 months on Breakfast as more than just cover).

      Greg's time on breakfast

      By onlyME · Posted

      On July 8th Greg will surpass Grimmy's tenure on Radio 1 breakfast (5 years, 319 days) as the second-longest breakfast show presenter. He has already passed Tony Blackburn and Sim Mayo. I'm not sure if he will make Moyles' record of 8 years, 253 days, but he certainly still seems fresh and full of ideas!

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      I guess we'll have to wait and see when the new schedule kicks in, although I could see Scott staying where he is.  Assuming that's the case and there are no other moves, there would be several available studios for Matt & Mollie - 82C or 82E of the 'old' studios, and 82M or 82N of the new ones.

      The BBC commissioning brief mentions it is a 'mid morning show' for Radio 1 Dance https://www.bbc.co.uk/commissioning/radio/documents/comm_brief_r1_dance_morning_show.pdf

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

      I would be pretty confident that if they keep avoiding using James Cusack on that slot over the next few weeks, then it will probably be him that gets the show permanently!

      That’s two names who probably won’t be doing that slot permanently then.

      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

      Studio usage for new schedule

      By Lee E · Posted

      I know we have discussed this before, but can someone shed some light hoping @Lily Georgia can help Since the Wogan House closure, and 1-330 from Manchester, studio 82A (Mills) has been used by Scott's R2 show, in fact i note that him and Grandad Nelson are from there now days The question I have is with 1-330 coming from London again soon, who is getting a new studio? will Scott move to one of the newer ones down the corridor or will he remain in 82A and M&M get a new studio They cannot use 82D as that is used for drive, and currenlty 82A is in use by Scott from 2-4pm In the old days it used to be 82A for Greg, Scott, Annie and 82D Adele, RMC, Drive, Jack I note that Jack is in a brand new studio so maybe M&M will come from that one as well, maybe the same one as Vine uses?

      Producer Amy moving to Radio 1 Breakfast

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Very pleased for producer Amy - it's no coincidence many of the best shows in recent years have had her working on them. You can tell her & Helena are a great production duo and that the whole Matt & Mollie team are a really close-knit unit in general. Some lovely speeches by both Matt & Mollie too to end the show on Sunday.
