Is Chappers leaving?

[The Stig 11]

Ok but what I mean is why keep it a secret, and only announce with just 4 days left.

I agree. You'd have thought Chappers would deserve a bit of a build up, but saying that he strikes me as the type who wouldn't want a fuss to be made.

[jdog55 10]

It has'nt even been announced yet, was'nt mentioned on the show today and Becky has'nt referred to it on twitter again. I really can't see they can just give Chappers a 4 day send off, it just would'nt be right. Also I know Chappers does his show on ESPN on a Sunday night and has this new quiz show starting on ESPN and some occassional work on 5 Live but would that be enough to consider packing a steady Mon-Fri job in at Radio 1?

[E*F*4L 10]

I highly doubt it will stop Scott being on Radio 1 Alan, he will just present some mroe shows on his own or get someone else to join him. Fraser would be a good option

not sure about scott on his own :| he needs a bit of a team like moyles.

i'm gonna miss chappers on the show

[RyanM69336 10]

I hope Scott and Beccy don't leave Radio 1

I interviewd Scott 2 weeks ago and he told me that he thinks he could still do another few years at Radio 1. So I have a feeling that Scott wont be leaving Radio 1 anytime soon. After all he hasn't done anything to annoy Andy Parfit and the team so don't see them getting rid of him, remember Andy Parfit has been with R1 through all of Scott's R1 carreer. 8)8);)

The evening drives will never be the same, so devastating.

It's not very often at Radio 1 you get a send-off anyway. For example, Colin Murray. I don't think he'd want a fuss - they never celebrate his birthday.

[Chippy 10]

Maybe something in tonight's show since Becky kinda leaked it. (Presuming it is true)

Besides...maybe this is a prank by....dun dun dun JONO....or the creepy butler.

This is true, with the exception of Moyles of course.

Now all but confirmed with 4 becoming 3 next week.

[abertom 11]

As he says he's leaving "the show" and not radio 1 maybe he's gonna fill in for Sara?

or Carrie:rolleyes:

[Jono 38]

I think you'll find it's more than just Scott's show.

[The Stig 11]

I think you'll find it's more than just Scott's show.

You mean you think he's leaving the station all together and not just Scott's show? Any chance of him filling for Carrie then leaving when Carrie returns?

[Lee. 10]

it will be a sad week for radio 1 and just before christmas

[jdog55 10]

Or could he Be heading to Moyles show to fill in for Carrie? Would certainly then free him up for the things he has to take off for during Mills show

[abertom 11]

wouldnt have thought he would cover for carrie on the moyles show as Chappers is a presenter in his own right.

PS: is Jono a ooo I have inside news but i'm not telling anyone

[spotty 10]

So i missed/ am missing this evenings show, but im guessing his departure has been officially announced. Its a shame i wont get a chance to listen to the guys doing mornings, so for me apart from the podcasts its the end of chappers . He's gonna be hard to replace.

[abertom 11]

no it hasnt been officially announced but it will be next week on breakfast

[Rik 10]

Chappers has been on this show for 6 years and they can't even tell the regular audience about his departure, instead it will be left to do on a cover show. That is bad.

[abertom 11]

doesnt the breakfast show have a bigger audience?

[John 10]

I think people need to calm a little. If someone leaves your work place to explore bigger and better things, do you berate them for it? No, you wish them luck

[abertom 11]

where is chappers being berated?

[The Stig 11]

Has anyone berated Chappers. I think it's been pretty universal love coming in for Chappers. We're mounring the loss of him obviously, we'll miss him, but not berating him.

[Jugalug 10]

doesnt the breakfast show have a bigger audience?

Yes, but a different one.

[Rik 10]

doesnt the breakfast show have a bigger audience?

Yes but they aren't Scott's (Chappers') audience, so why should the news be broken to them?

If your comment was directed at me John, I wasn't berating him. I just feel that the team don't think anyone will be bothered that he's leaving when in fact we are. The audience deserve to know in order for his time on the show to be appreciated.
