It's a sad state of affairs if Aled, Rachel, Piers and Co have to turn the text screens off through fear of an idiot guest sending horrible messages to listeners. Awful thing of Dappy to do, highly unprofessional and I sincerely hope their music dropped from Radio 1 and they have nothing more to do with The Chris Moyles Show.

I sincerely hope the producers of the show don't get problems from this, though the policy of displaying the source phone numbers with the texts needs reviewing. Dappy broke the law by taking the details down and using them personally, regardless of the intent - if he'd fancied the girl this would have been the same. This is what should be pursued and punished, nothing else.

I think these days with so many outlets for our comments (email, twitter, forums, etc, etc) and how they are actively solicited on the shows, it's easy to cross a line via a more direct route such as texting. For this reason I don't really have a problem with the originator, Chloe. I'm sure many people feel the same way about the band or people in it, without actually saying it publicly.

For the show, I hope this blows over. It's pretty irrelevant really what show this happened on. The simple fact is the DPA was breached actively by an individual, and this is what should be pursued.

The ignorant media are having a field day with the Dappy story. Expect to see "gangsta rapper" and "grime star" in many news pieces... Badmouth the individual, not the scene. What he did was unacceptable but HE did it!

My favourite line in the main BBC News story was:

Despite making an apology through his management, who also offered her free N-Dubz concert tickets, Ms Moody said Dappy was yet to text her personally to say sorry.

No matter how nasty the text about N Dubz was Dappy should never have reacted in the way he did. He is a professional who has a duty to remain that, no matter what critisism may come his way.

How did Dappy know how old this girl was going to be? The girl could have been younger and used a false age (as a lot do).

Also she didn't swear at him so why did he feel the need to resort to it?

The whole thing is unbelievable and so unprofessional!

Indeed, what would age have to do with it anyways?

Hmm yeah they obviously thought that one through so hard, offering tickets to someone who doesn't like the band...

+1 for sense shown by someone in the industry at least...

Speaking of Mr Balls and BBC giving out contact details (indirectly or directly. When he was on BBC Radio Leeds he said he would contact everyone who asked a question on one matter (the one of my signature which coincidently got solved on Tuesday:D) and the presenter said they would pass the details on. To the date I've never had a reply!

Beatbullying has announced that it has no further plans to work with N-Dubz following the reports that band member Dappy sent a death threat to a Radio 1 listener.

Yesterday it emerged that Dappy, whose real name is Dino Contostavlos, sent threatening text messages and phone calls to the fan after she criticised the band.

The Sun reports that government-backed charity Beatbullying has now decided to drop the group from its campaign.

She sent in a criticism of his music. He sent back a death threat. How is that justified?

I really don't mean to stick up for N-Dubz here because I agree that Dappy is an idiot for doing this.

However, the txt she sent in was a hell of a lot more than a criticism of his music. The Daily Mail said that she simply sent in a txt which said that she didn't like their new song. In actual fact, the txt was a foul-mouthed rant which labelled Dappy 'Vile', 'Repulsive' and a 'Bork' amongst other things. It was a positively nasty txt and I'm not surprised it provoked a reaction in Dappy as she's a really nasty piece of work.

Be careful of the Daily Mail, I really wouldn't take for granted everything they say. They are guilty of selective journalism - making her look the innocent victim when in fact the txt she sent into Radio 1 could just as easily have been classed as bullying as Dappy's reply. Remember there's two sides to every story. Not that anyone would guess that if they only read the Daily Mail.

The bottom line is Dappy should not have done that. He should be able to accept criticism been in the line of work he is. I don't imagine it was the worse text sent into Radio 1 that day. For example, he didn't read mine calling him a prick

take control

I agree. I would have been more suspicious if Moyles had come out the true loser from it but luckily he did not. But there's not yet been a response from Aled and the quote from Dappy seems to suggest the events did happen.

To be fair to her, he is a vile, repulsive bork. He always has been. The guy is a dick and he probably needs more people to tell him so.

      Well looks like Mollie is off all month now so presumably a personal matter.

      Intrigued why Matt & Mollie aren't presenting breakfast on Monday, with James in for them instead (which has happened before).. or even James given a chance to present the breakfast show?

      Sam & Danni seem to be down for Breakfast on Monday. James Cusack on Going Home. That’s another new name in the list of “people who have hosted Going Home in 2025”.

      Wednesday, surely? But this is another mess, as this weeks Summer press release said it’ll be Sam & Danni no Jamie from the 28th - so it’s actually a whole week earlier!

      R1 to R2 transfers

      I worked out once Scott spent 3 months of a year off his own slot in the Moyles days and more like 4 in Grimmys days, six weeks of his own holiday and projects, six covering Grimmy plus some ad hoc days

      Back on topic, I think there's quite a few of the current Radio 1 presenters who would be able to adapt to Radio 2's style in the future. It's more of question of how many of them will actually end up there. With much of R2's line up changed over the past couple of years, it's quite possible we won't see much movement there, and R2 management might even decide to look elsewhere to bring in new presenters in future.

      With OJ covering on bank holidays. She is the best person for the job however... they're going to end up with a situation like Scott covering R1 breakfast back in the day, where she spends quite a bit of time off her own slot covering Breakfast, plus her own holiday and other commitments. She's been filming for something recently which has meant she's been off several days a week since May. She was off last week, on breakfast this week, OJ is on Mon/Tues next week, then She's off the following two weeks.

      Looking back at this I would say now that Sara is the main cover - I think she has been reestablished as it now

      Radio 1 Anthems Scheduling

      By Lee E · Posted

      Purley on the R1 Dance station.. Someone on DS said don't expect to see any changes to the schedule on the new stations however if they are taking on Capital Dance with this, which they clearly are, which has live presenters 7am - 10pm except for the 11am mix then they'll surely have to have a proper scheduled set of shows. At the moment Arielle is the only "live" per say show and only "live" a few days a week with earlier shows being repeated Thursday Friday and Saturday. Connor and Charlie are clearly pre records but was this only for the time it was online only and they have already got a schedule ready to go on day 1? also of note is that Charlie is taking over a podcast as well as starting a new project with podcasting which makes me wonder if she is about to step back from Dance Anthems all together to concentrate on those and Connor takes over? So you could have Arielle doing 9-12 weekdays live then someone else 12-3 and Connor live 3-6 on R1D and doing Dance Anthems on a Saturday.

      As none of the Going Home Team aren't currently on the air, that's a bit if an issue. Considering most of the Dance DJs will be out there, I'm surprised none of them are being utilised to host the 1-4 slot that weekend.
