Anyone who knows me will know how much I love this show and how passionate I am about supporting artists journeys from the very start – and I’m still going to be doing that! Most read in Showbiz “I’m going to be interviewing artists for the Mercury Prize, doing the Gladiators live tour, DJing the finish line of the Great North Run, working at so many amazing wrestling shows and celebrating new music every way I can. “I won’t be a stranger to BBC Radio 1 I’ll still be across the station including on Happy Anthems. “But wanted to say a big thank you to the lovely producers & presenters that helped me grow and the artists that provided the most lovely soundtrack to everything so far.” Fans rushed to the comments section to share the love after she shared the heartbreaking news.
