Now they're just being all out fucking arseholes. And I say this, fully well knowing The Sun will read it. Hey, they're already sourcing here/ChrisMoyles.net for Aled's statement, newspapers have claimed this is a BBC blog in the past, and the UM Twitter is apparently Scott Mills.

"RADIO 1 brekkie show teaboy ALED JONES has had a secret promotion.

I revealed on Saturday that CHRIS MOYLES’s days on the show are numbered. But its newly appointed “spokesman”, Aled, blogged this was a “journalistic agenda” and bosses had assured him of the slot’s future.

Bit odd, bigwigs keeping the teaboy informed.

I’d like answers on a postcard for Aled’s qualifications to host the Saturday surgery.

Agony aunt indeed. He makes my ears bleed."

I cannot wait for tomorrow morning.

Aled's a much more qualified host of The Surgery than someone who can't even get the day of the week for the show right claiming to be a journalist. Way to prove that it's not a journalistic agenda, Gordon. I'd use your last name, but it's as accurate as your stories.

Let's see, who are we going to trust on this, someone who works at Radio 1 who is a talented producer, presenter of a highly important show on the station, member of the playlist committee, has commented numerous times as a semi spokesman in the past... or The Sun. Besides, if they listened to Friday's show, they'd know it's the Unit Assistant that has the job of making the tea. But then again, Gordy doesn't know what day of the week is which.

Now that's a journalistic agenda if ever I've seen one :) Can they knock The Sun off the Big Weekend media invites and give them to me ;)

Wow, if we ever had doubts that Gordon had lost all credibility yesterday, we now can be certain of this today. I'm with Chappers on calling him "Gordon Pillock" and that's now not even a jokey nickname. He's lost the plot. He really has.

By the way, Gordon, it's the Sunday Surgery. I know you don't listen but at least get your facts right before you write stories. How you became editor I'll never know.

Quite funny really - he had a good story going on Saturday when he said Chris would be chucked off the breakfast show. Now he's ruined it and has ensured Moyles had a huge amount of support behind him.

OH! Does anyone remember Moyles vs the 3am girls, which led to that paper begging for Moyles to call his listeners off from ranting at them down the phones all day? I really cannot wait to see how Moyles gets revenge - it's now against the team and the show as a whole.

I just don't understand this lieing and vindictive behaviour. Has he got nothing else to do with his time than to completely stir up trouble? I also cannot wait for tomorrow, I think he has really crossed the line.

It sells papers, and starts rumours about the show even if completely innaccurate - in an attempt to damage Chris. It's what the tabloids do.

My favourite thing in The Sun is 'News in Briefs', where they make up a quote from a Page 3 girl saying that "Chantelle, 18 today from Essex, is very upset that Gail has lost the university challenge crown.. she says 'well it shows girls aren't just tits on legs and have smarts too!'"

I may have made the quote, but not the feature, up.

Chris Moyles vs the 3am Girls. He won VERY easily.

Right allow me to explain my beliefs:

!. Gordon Pillock Don't like Chris

!. Gordon Pillock attempts to make Chris look like an arse

!. Gordon Pillock makes himself look like an arse

!. Gordon Pillock starts to pick on Chris' weaker friends to get some street cred back.

More as this story develops.

Perhaps he's mistaking Aled for Matt Fincham. We all know he's the misinformed tea boy! ;)

Haha, it's not even Matt. Matt Fincham was called in early on Friday as the person who does the tea was ill. Quite topical, was listening on iPlayer earlier about them talking about this on the opening link on Friday's show.

It must be a joke surely. That's the only sensible explanation. Anyone who does even the vaguest amount of research would know Aled's position and that it's the Sunday Surgery. Also to reference Aled "blogging" about "Journalistic agenda" I think implies he took it from here, UM or AHJ as he didn't put that on his Twitter.

As for Aled's qualifications, I'd say they are more substantial than Kelly Osbourne's. He's a BBC employee who presents a show where experts give out advice and information. What other qualities does he need to present a show?

It puts me in mind of a child who just won't admit he is wrong and so starts clutching at straws trying to shift the focus away from himself.

Aled is wrong about one thing though, it's not "Journalistic Agenda" as for that he would need to be a journalist and this is just pure editorialising and badly done at that.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

Gordon Smart (born 1980 in Edinburgh, Scotland and raised in Kinross) is editor of The Sun's celebrity column Bizarre [1].

Smart joined Bizarre in 2004 as Victoria Newton's assistant; when Newton was promoted to head of entertainment in November 2007, he became the column editor. A Hibs fan, he was fined for £50 for breach of the peace by entering the Celtic end of Parkhead Stadium whilst shouting 'I love long neck sweaters'.

Smart studied Journalism at Napier University. He married Kate Leishman on 7th June, 2004 at Cleish Parish Church, Perth.

Seems ironic calling Moyles a bully when "Moyles has won numerous awards from The Sun newspaper for best DJ" & now Gorden is having a go at Aled now.

As you use this forum for your research, come on tell us the truth 'Smart' isn't your real surname is it ?

Gordon is nothing but a spineless little worm !

I reiterate my call for his Big Weekend media invite ;)

On a more serious note, he was going to be doing the climb with Moyles wasn't he? Something has obviously gone on behind-the-scenes that we're not aware of. Lord knows what.

Hmm I don't get that Victoria Newton is his boss. She used to be quite partial to Moyles. Maybe she's got the weekend off? In a war between the Sun and the BBC, I fear the Sun will win as no-one is forced to pay for it. Never underestimate the power the Sun has.

However Reading out Gordon's phone number live on air would be hysterical.

Sometimes here, sometimes not.

I don't use this word very often, but Gordon 'Smart' is a cunt of the highest order. The Moyles thing was bad enough, but starting on Aled? That's just despicable. It's obvious that the man has a childish vendetta against the team, and is basically throwing his toys out of the pram. Imbecile.

      I must have missed that yesterday, sorry! Scott did make the same tongue in cheek comment on today's show about Rylan. It's a shame Rylan isn't the go to cover for Scott, I assume his commitments away from R2 prevent that. I enjoyed his last cover stint. Spoony is the go to stand in for the mid afternoon slot (he's covering again week after next while Scott's off getting married).   In that case, I think you're right!

      Not that last minute. Scott was talking about it on his own show yesterday, saying he and Rylan have a deal where they cover each other's shows but Rylan only covers Scott when he can be bothered!

      Sorry I should have been clearer, I meant daytime weekday. Weekend shows would count as a 'step up' from overnights for OJ.

      If we're counting the overnight slot, OJ Borg regularly covers weekend shows.

      The only weekday R2 DJ who would ever cover a weekend slot?!

      What I assume is a very last minute change... Scott Mills is in for Rylan today.

      Radio 1 at Parklife will be presented by Vicky and Nat. Nat is currently listed to present her usual Sunday show on that weekend but I imagine that will change and someone else will be doing it instead. The Radio 1 presenters at Download will be Daniel P Carter, Jack Saunders, Alyx Holcombe and Nels Hylton.

      He’s definitely gotten better and the show has sounded fine this week. I think it been at its best when it’s been Katie and Jamie or Vick and Katie. Vick and Jamie are ok together, but I do think the show sounds better when it’s Vick and Katie and therefore I still don’t really understand the point of the trio.    Jamie is, however, a lot better than Danny Beard!

      The RAJAR coming on later this year reflecting later summer to autumn will be interesting to how it reflects Matt and Mollie in afternoons to the revised changes on radio 1’s new music slots and the schedule re-shuffling Radio 3 introducing a new slate of programmes. Then, later on this year have speech radio stations having domestic political coverage of the election but also America’s presidential election.

      I actually caught snippets of today’s show, and I found it much better than the last time I listened. I have made it no secret that I like Jamie on the radio, I was surprised by how much I enjoyed Matt & him together last year. People have criticised him for not being relatable, but I have to agree with the comment above that I have always found him a naturally warm person to listen to. Maybe the going home set up was something that needed settling in and things are starting to take shape.  It must have been difficult for him joining an established duo in Vick & Katie to begin with.  Jamie was great on something songs today, fully engaged in the caller and sounded like a real presenter. Maybe he is doing as a lot of us hoped and really learning as he goes, how to do it properly.

      Agree with this. The anti-Jamie feeling was IMO quite influenced by the negativity around him replacing Jordan, since Jordan was exceptional and also universally loved. When people mention Danny and Jamie in the same sentence about bad hiring decisions I almost choke - Jamie may not be perfect but he's several leagues better than Danny already and has bags of potential. Danny is poor and has shown zero potential...

      Jamie started 4 March, and the figures only going up to 31 March, so it isn't reliable. But it has shown the numbers have dropped in afternoons compared to last quarter. It looks like it's Capital's gain.
