TikToker Charley Marlowe joins Radio 1 as presenter
TikTok star Charley Marlowe is set to join BBC Radio 1 as a summer presenter, the station has announced. Charley, who also narrates BBC Three's I Kissed A Girl, will host the Early Breakfast show on Fridays from August. She says she's "absolutely buzzing" and plans to play "as much Jane McDonald and Kylie Minogue as the BBC allow". A number of other changes have also been announced to the schedule, including Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing stepping back from the Going Home show for a couple of months due to filming commitments. His afternoon slot will be covered by Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston until September, when Jamie will be rejoined by co-host Katie Thistleton as she returns from maternity leave. It comes just over a month since the last shake-up of the slot, when Radio 1 bosses announced Jamie would temporarily be joined by his wife, Sophie Habboo. At the same time, they also announced another social media star, GK Barry, joining the line-up. The TikToker and I'm a Celeb star's summer-long stint as the weekend afternoon host starts from this Saturday. The summer schedule will also see Greg James' Breakfast show running for an extra half an hour each weekday from 21 July until September. Tskenya Frazer will join Lauren Layfield to co-host Life Hacks for July after a successful stint during the 2024 festive period as part of the station's Christmas Takeover. "I am so looking forward to bringing my lived experience and hearty vibes to the show," she said. She'll swap with DJ and former Capital Xtra's Breakfast Show presenter Yinka Bokinni for August. The station also announced plans to cover TRNSMT, Boomtown, Ibiza, Malta and Reading and Leeds festivals live, including headline sets and backstage access.

BBC Radio 1 star 'gutted' as she's forced to miss show due to health battle
BBC Radio 1 star, Lauren Layfield, usually presents Life Hacks with Pete Allison, but told fans she has to miss today's programme due to a nauseating condition BBC's Lauren Layfield has admitted she is "gutted" she can't present her popular Radio 1 show today after revealing she has vertigo. Lauren, 37, usually hosts Life Hacks, which helps 'hack your life to make it better' alongside Pete Allison, but today she's had to step down. Taking to X, sharing an image of someone strapped into a chair, upside down, clinging on for dear life, wearing a mask, she posted: "Gutted missing Life Hacks today, I've got b****y vertigo. But don't worry, my exec @petelinney has told me there's a vertigo treatment where you get strapped into this chair and spun round really fast, so will probably do that this afternoon," followed by a string of shocked emojis. READ MORE: Jamie Laing and pregnant Sophie Habboo break silence on 'tense street exchange' According to the NHS, vertigo is the feeling that you, or the environment around you, is moving or spinning. The feeling may be barely noticeable, or it may be so severe that you find it difficult to keep your balance and do everyday tasks. Vertigo can develop suddenly and last for a few seconds or much longer. Its symptoms include: loss of balance – which can make it difficult to stand or walk - feeling sick or being sick and dizziness. Lauren began her radio career in July 2018, when she began covering weekend shows on Capital FM. She later presented the station's Capital Early Breakfast show from 2019 until September 2023. In November 2023, it was announced that she would be joining BBC Radio 1 in January 2024, presenting the Friday morning Early Breakfast show throughout the month. In March 2024, the presenter bagged a permanent role on Radio 1 from April 2024, co-presenting the station's Life Hacks programme alongside Newsround's Shanequa Paris. Life Hacks is a programme and podcast, formerly presented by Vick Hope and Katie Thistleton. The show began in 2017, replacing The Surgery in the Sunday teatime slot. The punchy programme discusses health and social issues such as exam stress, sexual health, alcohol and drugs, in the hope of alleviating some of the strain the topics can bring to listener's lives. The original presenters were Cel Spellman, Katie Thistleton and Radha Modgil. In August 2020, Cel was replaced by Vick Hope. Vick, who is married to DJ, Calvin Harris, has now gone on maternity leave as she prepares to welcome the couple's first child.

BBC The Traitors star Minah Shannon lands BBC Radio 1 role
The Traitors' fan favourite Minah Shannon is co-hosting BBC Radio 1's Friday Early Breakfast Show with Nat O'Leary. The Traitors' star Minah Shannon has been announced as a new radio presenter on BBC Radio 1. The Liverpool based reality TV star, starred on season three of The Traitors, which aired in January this year and was a hit with viewers after she sneakily deceived many of her co-stars with her secret Traitor status, making it all the way to the final week of the programme before she was found out. As the longest standing Traitor of the 2025 series, it seems her hard work has paid off as Minah has now landed a role co-hosting the Friday Early Breakfast Show on BBC Radio 1 with Nat O'Leary throughout May. Call centre manager Minah, 30, said she hoped to "brighten up listeners' mornings" on the show which is broadcasted from 05:00 until 07:00am. The duo will co-present a special live show from Liverpool on May 23 to help kick off the Radio 1 Big Weekend 2025 celebrations in the city. Gushing over her new role, Minah said: "I am so excited to be presenting every Friday in May on Radio 1's Early Breakfast. Getting to present alongside Nat O'Leary is going to be so much fun. "We discovered we both attended the same university and used to hang out in all the same places, so it feels like it was meant to be. "If we can give the lovely listeners a laugh, then mission accomplished!" O'Leary said she was "excited" to be joining Minah on the show. She remarked: "Minah's energy is electric, so I know we're gonna cause some chaos and bring some fun to your Friday early mornings. "Can't wait to wake up with you babes!" Minah currently works as a call centre manager in Liverpool, where she lives with her husband Liam and daughter Luna. Although the star has revealed she previously used to live in Glasgow for a number of years where she attended school. The BBC star rose to fame during her time on The Traitors earlier this year. Viewers watched on as she successfully tricked the 'faithful contestants by banishing fellow traitors Armani and Linda from the castle. Her impressive performance almost took her all the way to the end as fans were left gutted to see her voted out just two days before the final. Her decision to recruit Charlotte as a fellow traitor was her ultimate downfall, as during Minah's final round table, it was Charlotte who sealed her fate and banished her from the castle. Minah's co-hosting role will only last the month as the same slot is set to be replaced by Lauren Redfern in June. Aled Haydn Jones, Head of Radio 1, said: "The Friday Early Breakfast slot has become a key platform for emerging presenters to find their voice and connect with the Radio 1 listeners.
