Next Radio 1 boss

[Jono]

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.”

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

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

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

Normally it's just Reggie though... to be fair.

[tamba]

I'm waving goodbye to her already.

Hopefully Fearne don't leave. I think shes the greatest on the chart show. Who could replace her? Know one! :cry:

[Jono]

Probably Wes, he isn't up to much.

Greatest on the chart show?! There's only 2 of them!

Who could replace her?

Anyone with a voice and can commit to 3 hours a sodding week would be a good bet. Probably be better too!

[E*F*4L]

Good riddence. The sooner the better - Bye Fearne.

[weemac]

Reggie will be kacking it as lets face it Fern is the only reason he has had a job the last few years. to be honest they both get on my wick.

looks like another job for Greg James?

[simon38]

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!

[tamba]

Hopefully Fearne don't leave. I think shes the greatest on the chart show. Who could replace her? Know one! :cry:

One of the waxwork's from Yarmouth ?

[Timsk]

She'll come crawling back when the US TV Execs realise their mistake - worse luck...
