Radio One has announced that Vick Hope and Jordan North will front its new drivetime show, following Nick Grimshaw’s decision to leave the station.
The BBC has also confirmed that it will be moving its new weekend show to MediaCityUK, its first to be hosted outside of London.
The “Northern presenting duo” – Hope is from Newcastle, while North’s love of Burnley became a thing of legend during his I’m a Celebrity stint – will take up their new roles in September.
“I am absolutely chuffed to be making the move over to Radio 1 daytime and even happier to be working alongside Vick,” said North.
“Grimmy is a Radio 1 legend so we definitely have big shoes to fill, but will work extremely hard to make sure afternoons on Radio 1 still sound superb. I am super excited to get started and look forward to this next chapter with Vick and the rest of my Radio 1 family.”
