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.

      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.

      Do these audience figures reflect Jordan leaving and Jamie replacing him?

      I think Jamie is really starting to settle into the role well. He comes across as really warm, and genuinely invested in the listeners when he’s talking to them which is nice. I think he’s building a really great relationship with Vicki and Katie too. His recent great company podcast is great too, where he has quite a deep chat with someone new each week. He’s clearly a very genuine person and I think he has some real potential.

      Most probably. But do wonder what the future of the relax themed programmes will be when they officially wind down that service.

      I think it's just to replace Wind Down presents... which was in that timeslot, and I'm guessing Chillout Anthems was just a buffer since it'll still be played at 06:00 on Sundays.

      With listening on the U.K. for the industry in general it is good overall as most stations reach is on the up and shows radio to be more sustainable and stable outlet than linear televisions channels. This RAJAR I think with the increase shift to DAB+ the BBC will be able to say it has it’s audiences for the proposed new stations it wishes to launch and think the new innovative ideas that it seems Jack himself can take credit for on the new music show think the younger under 30 gen z demographic could increase se in that time-slot.

      Rajar looking healthy this quarter, with the numbers staying fairly stable.

      It's made it into the Daily Mail as another reason to bash the station. https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13417631/bbc-radio-2-facebook-tiktok-instagram.html

      I expect that the axing of Chill Out Anthems may be related to the decommissioning and shutfdown of Radio 1 Relax. I assume soon BBC could announce or make official when it’s going to be shutdown
