Fearne Cotton, who follows Chris at 10am on weekdays, has also been talked about as a contender
Who are these people talking about Fearne Cotton being a contender for the breakfast show? I demand you reveal yourselves so we may ridicule your stupidity.
If Fearne actually did take over as breakfast host, she won't be on it half the time like it is with her current mid-morning show. Some people outside these forums etc moan about the amount of holidays Chris gets etc but the difference between him and Fearne is that he only uses those holidays to be off the show apart from certain circumstances like last September whereas she has her holidays and is off when she is to do a tv show or whatnot. Chris does a TV show and has to do filming, which go on for hours it seems and I am sure at times he just can't be bothered coming in the next day but he does it for us and because he loves doing it. How many weeks does Chris and that get off each year in Radio 1 even though a few of them are freelance? I think it's 6 or so believe. I get 6 weeks holiday off my place each year so it's not THAT bad.
Although saying that, I think she has been better with being on the show lately than last year etc since it seemed like it was every month she was off a week and Sara Cox or Annie Mac had to fill in. Ok, Fearne rant #1244 over and done with.
Newsbeat pretty much confirms that story then, which is just swell news. Like I said already on this thread, archive is going to be massive when the big man finally steps down.
