SHAMED telly star Vernon Kay last night pulled out of his Radio 1 show on Saturday.

He wants to make up with wife Tess Daly instead - and was worried how listeners would react during the live 10am broadcast.

A pal said: "He's asked BBC bosses if he can miss the show as he wants to sort things out.

"We're waiting to hear back, but we expect they will find someone to stand in.

"Obviously it will be difficult for him to broadcast live with all the stuff about his sex texts flying around at the moment.

"It could be uncomfortable for him - especially when he asks listeners to send in texts."

Earlier today it was reported that he had pulled out of his usual 10am slot on his radio show to patch things up with wife Tess Daly.

However, it seems the shamed sex-texting TV star, 35, will be appearing on the show as planned.

Perhaps this means his betrayed wife has found it in her heart to forgive him despite having text saucy messages, on numerous occasions, to lustful women.

One thing’s for sure though, if you need some perking up this Saturday morning, just send Vern a text at Radio 1 for an instant fix…

Firstly, I know Jono quoted this off Metro and these arent his own words.

Am I the only person who thinks that this is yet again another story not worthy of being in the papers? Ok ok, if its true then he shouldnt have been sending flirty texts to her, but at the end of the day its a private matter for Vern to deal with and as I understand it, they were only texts.

I know I've said this before, and I will almost certainly be saying it again in future, but this is yet another example of the papers stirring up peoples private business and trying to create sensationalist stories, and is the main reason I prefer not to read them.

It is nobodys business but Vern and Tess's and the papers should really be leaving them alone. I'm glad he is doing the show as originally planned, sadly there will be people who feel compelled to text in regarding the "story" but I hope they are overwhelmingly outnumbered by those of us who text in about the show and things they are talking about in the studio.

If you are in a career such as Vernon's the press will always report on your private life. It's something that modern stars of the media have to accept. This is now the way of the press. I'm a big fan of Vernon and believe his career will recover, but this is his mistake, not the press's.

Yes I accept that someone in the public eye, particularly a TV and radio presenter such as Vernon will have a story printed about them, no matter how private or newsworthy it is. It is not right that they have to accept this will happen to them, however the media and the celebrity gossip driven society we live in dictate that they have no choice in the matter.

He put his hands up and admitted it, that should be an end to a story that never really was a story anyway. The media in this country seem to take too much interest in peoples lives and privacy etc goes right out the window.

No it isn't. But it's the way it is and the way it always will be. Life isn't fair, and if you want a career in the media, you've got to get used to that fact. Vernon would have been as aware of that as anyone.

      Dean and Vicky - what happened?

      By lochnessa · Posted

      Dare I say they've sounded great this past week?  Very much gelling.  Maybe less pressure?  Seem to be having a genuinely good time and not forcing things.

      I'm in the minority in my workplace, most of them love country music.  Me, the American, does not care for it.  That said, I haven't haaaaaated some of the country adjacent stuff that's been on the R1 playlist.

      It is funny because everyone thought Matt was on the way out, now he's been described as the heir to Mills.

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      Still Scott for me. I'm not too much into the 70s and 80s radio 2 play but do love the injection of 90s and 00s. Then Radio 2 push for all this country stuff and it not a UK thing, and I frankly don't like it. Scott's show as in features, hit and miss. I like the music police bit, but it feels like someone needs to join him. It's a shame Chappers is so busy with sports, as it feels like it could do with someone like him jumping on to help. Or a new partner. Radio 1, take or leave. Matt and Mollie are OK from what I've heard and share a good connection, but it's the playlist that throws me off. They could bring back Chris Moyles to do that show, but as soon as something like Headie One comes on with that casino keyboard produced crap. It would still be switched off from me.

      Reading through this thread, I don't feel quite so alone now, in thinking that Scott Mills on R2 is not a good 'fit' (even less so than on R5).  I can't quite explain why this is so - I just know it to be so.

      The brought to tiers feature was also very good from them. I did wonder which DJ's were going to get picked out of the hat, that could have gone one way or the other and the caller said they were very opinionated lol. Correct decision putting katie in god tier!

      The extended Dua Lipa track from M&M was very funny. I'm hoping Matt and Mollie and Scott have a good relationship a bit like Greg and Zoe collaborate on-air sometimes.

      Scott v Matt and Mollie

      By xxladybarefootxx · Posted

      When Scott and Chris announced their departure from R1, I remember there was lots of speculation about who would take over the 1pm slot. Matt and Mollie were talked about a lot on here, and at the time I really didn't rate them as a replacement. A few years on, I see that I was totally wrong. They are such a good pairing, and it's the same kind of duo as Scott and Chris, in that they are real life friends, who spend time together in their real lives, which really does come across on air. True friends having a laugh together, and everyone is invited is how it feels to me now. I never thought about it before, but I agree with @coffeeandgin that Mollie is the Scott of the duo - pop obsessed and maybe a litte ditsy, but so funny, and in need of someone to anchor to or bounce off.  It seems that Matt is the kind of Chris of the duo then in that comparison, the one with the ideas, but also needs another person to make the magic happen. I know I'm outside of the R1 demographic, and maybe Dean and Vicky were meant to be younger and fresher, but I'm sure in my younger years I would have preferred to listen to two people who had a genuine connection and could really make each other laugh, as well as have the listeners laugh along. That was the Scott and Chris factor for me, and I think the only pair that come close to that now are Matt and Mollie.
