The 'closer article was out a couple of weeks ago, it had loads of reports on pregnant celebs, and lots of them on the front cover, but ive no idea if it was online or not.

It wasnt a bad article, it just didnt really show edith in a positive maternal light. She was quoted about wanting to get back into exercising and thinking breastfeeding was a good idea because it would help her to lose weight...(when she could have said it was better for the baby!) And then she talked about hopefully going to glastonbury at the end of June. (When most new mums are settled at home getting used to a new baby!)

Its strange cos you kind of get an impression of people..and I sort of thought Edith would be the kind of person to really dote on a baby...eg.She made such a big deal about Zanes and Nihals baby, on air...

Of course theres no reason why she should, but she doesnt seem to have given any real impression on her show or in the press that shes excited or realistic about being a mum. Even her press release says shes bitter sweet about leaving her show. Why? Her show will still be there, and its not every day you get the chance to be a mum?

i think it may be down to Edith's heart problems & this may be her only chance to have a baby, but she did say that it wasn't planned & as she is so busy with work at radio-1 & her other dj-ing she does, she also is very much into photography having recently just passed her exam & she also likes to travel & do sports & she has had weight issues in the past & has been trying to keep it healthy & herself fit due to her heart condition.

of course she is happy about having a baby, but i suppose she doesn't want to put her life completely on hold as other mums to be would & she said when it was first made public that being pregnant isn't a illness & the woman shouldn't be treated as such, it has probably just put her plans back a year or two & she knows life will never be the same for her again

i cannot imagine Edith just sitting about at home, can you ?

she has a very good job that she absolutely loves, i don't think that Edith would give it up for anything, as music is what Edith live for.

onto Nihal, i wasn't to keen on his interviewing style today.

:)

im going to email Mr Parfitt & complain about this :!:

BTW is it [email protected] ?

I was under the impression that you had a hotline to Mr Parfitt? I seem to vaguely recall that you have threatened to send him strongly worded complaints on more than one occasion in the past.;)

Nihal has got rid of cake day, as he is on a diet & doesn't have the will power to stop himself from eating one if its in-front of him, & wants fridays to be bake day instead !

You're clearly not mature enough to understand the concept of Nihal's show. Edith is gone, no one is forcing him to keep up Edith's format. Go watch CBeebies till September.

I'm 100% behind Nihal on this one. I'm on a diet 90% of the time, it does get quite annoying when they talk about cake all the time. Bake day, however, is no better. I'm just surrounded by food ;)

I'm very impressed that Nihal has gone so long without any sweets :D

I'm very happy with Nihal. He is a cheery presence in the background of my afternoons.

Like his malapropisms too. I haven't worked out yet if they're intentional or not. Doesn't matter, they make me smile.

      Radio 1 Schedule Changes

      By Dan18F1 · Posted

      The Summer on Radio 1 thing makes me wonder whether they might be doing something similar to last year again where they have a temporary schedule over the summer before introducing changes in September - maybe the new host won’t start until after the summer?

      Radio 1's Big Weekend 2024

      By Jono · Posted

      There was talk on my Big Weekend group from the council about them waiting for Ticketmaster to send an email out. They said they've been waiting a week. Maybe they're waiting for train strike confirmation first.

      It’s on Saturday and Friday that week too. I guess this would make sense, as it gives them roughly 6 weeks off weekends until they start the new show?

      Yeah he's on more than usual including this Sunday and then 3 more shows in May according to the above. Makes me think it's James for the weekend shows also

      For some reason there is 'Summer on Radio 1' listed on Sunday 2nd June, could this be replacing M&M until July?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By coffeeandgin · Posted

      Yep am very much Capital Breakfast now. Jordan, Chris and Sian are a great trio and it's got that feel of the old shows Jordan and Chris used to do on Radio 1. It doesn't take itself too seriously but is packed full of content and slick. With Greg he's great but 6 years in you've probably heard it all before plus frankly I can sit through the Capital Playlist a lot more easily than the Radio 1 playlist (where some of the inclusions and omissions can be quite baffling at times). Plus after things like the Oscars or Met Gala or if there's a particularly big TV show or film or popstar then Greg won't half wang on about it at times. I guess it's partly to be expected with it being a Breakfast show on a young station but it can feel very London bubble and get tired.

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      I honestly never thought in a million years I’d move from Radio 1 to be a regular Capital breakfast show listener. But it’s got pretty much everything I want - 3 really genuine, entertaining mates having a laugh, playing silly games and it all sounds great. I became a big fan of Chris from his days with Scott, became a Jordan fan on Going Home, and Sian Welby is newer to me but is loads of fun too.  It’s great and I’ve shocked myself by transferring my listening at breakfast. For me Greg’s show now feels very tired and it’s time for something new. But with Jordan gone that’s unlikely to happen anytime soon. Greg’s had a great run and I’m a fan - but there’s no new ideas now. I still listen to Radio 1 at other times - but this show feels like very serious competition for Greg.

      The eighth floor

      By Lily Georgia · Posted

      They have built four new studios to increase capacity, alongside the existing six.  Bearing in mind that some of the output of R1, 1X, R2 & 6M comes from elsewhere, and Asian Network is gradually moving all output to Birmingham, this should be enough!

      How do they manage to cater for 6Music and Radio 2 on that floor? Did they adapt it?

      Jordan North's first Capital Radio breakfast show

      By Bluestraw · Posted

      I think we've all figured out now how much you like it @AndyK77 😂 Personally while I think it's by far the best show on the Capital schedule and better than its predecessor, it still has the shortened songs and other commercial-radio aspects that remind me why I'm a Radio 1 fan. No matter how well this has worked out for Jordan, and all credit to him for landing the job, I can't help but feel that a Jordan and Katie show on R1 breakfast would have been so much better!

      A few weeks in and I am actually loving the show and Jordan is a nice mix of his old chaotic self and dare I say it a slick jock.

      Rylan and Scott

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      I really like Rylan, and as much of a fun idea it would be to have Scott and Rylan together, I think Rylan is too much of a main character.  Scott needs a side-kick rather than a full on co-host I think. That’s why he and Chris worked so well, Scott steered the show, and Chris was the perfect person to have alongside him.    I don’t religiously listen to Rylan’s show, but when I do catch it, it’s perfect weekend energy. He has a very warm presenting style too, but something makes me think he and Scott together every day would be a bit too much.
