AIBU to think Chris Moyles would be a great replacement for Sara Cox on the Radio 2 tea time slot?

Greg James is complaining about being bullied by him today (19 years ago!) - it makes me think he must have actually been in the running & someone behind the scenes is dredging up dirt to ensure it doesn't happen!

[I can’t imagine he’d ever want to go back to the BBC though regardless!]

He was an absolute prick to Charlotte church.. offering to sleep with her when she turned 16.. he should have been cancelled a long time ago
Vile man

OneDayEarly · 14/05/2026 23:44

Absolutely not!

Stigsmother · 14/05/2026 23:28

I would love Liza Tarbuck to step in, but can't see it happening. My candidate would be Shaun Keaveny 🫰

Look at how he treated Nicola from Girls Aloud. He’s a vile misogynistic bully.

FrankieMcGrath · 14/05/2026 23:21

I love Chris Moyles on Radio X, his breakfast show is fab, but I don’t imagine for a second that the BBC would have him back!

Ellie Taylor hasn’t been too bad this week covering for Sara.

Horrible obnoxious man

ForumPoster26 · 14/05/2026 23:17

I imagine the pay is better at Radio X & think he prefers breakfast shows, so don’t think he’d want it even if offered (which seems unlikely).
I don’t think you can compare the Charlotte Church comment with the things others have done but it does seem to get brought up a lot when other DJs/presenters are sacked.
I find him entertaining & about a million others listen to the radio show so I’m not the only one (although heart & radio 1 get four times that).

I adored him in the 90s and 00s or whenever he was on R1 breakfast show. Listened every single day without fail. He was irreverent and fresh at the time and funny, although yes the twat bit was part of his persona.

Since he came back to radio I absolutely can't fucking stand him. He's tired and dated now, not funny at all and needs to drop the 'im a massive twat' persona. It doesn't wash any more. He's not changed what he does at all. No way would or should R2 take him on.

Screamingabdabz · 14/05/2026 23:00

He should never have had a radio show in the first place. He reminds me of blokes that used to cat call and make lewd comments to passing women off scaffolding on building sites. He belongs in that era. Leave him there.

ColinOfficeTrolley · 14/05/2026 22:58

Good good NO! He's an absolute cunt.

I can't believe he appeals to anyone with at least one brain cell.

Bichette · 14/05/2026 22:58

Bring back Simon Mayo, I say.

Rbof · 14/05/2026 22:56

Please god, no. Horrible man.

Ablondiebutagoody · 14/05/2026 22:53

He's a prick

Changingplace · 14/05/2026 22:34

I think Rylan might get it.

Fizbosshoes · 14/05/2026 22:24

Id like OJ borg to move to that slot

VimesandhisCardboardBoots · 14/05/2026 22:23

I'd love it. Used to revise to Chris Myles and Comedy Dave in that slot on radio 1 when I was doing GCSEs, would be a proper throwback

Brbreeze · 14/05/2026 22:08

I would love for him to disappear from Radio X, which I listened to prior to him arriving, so he has my vote.

OonaStubbs · 14/05/2026 22:07

They need an intelligent and classy presenter, not a moron like Moyles.

Eightdayz · 14/05/2026 22:06

pouletvous · 14/05/2026 21:59

Isnt he cancelled?

No. Hes on the radio x breakfast show

pouletvous · 14/05/2026 21:59

Isnt he cancelled?

binliner · 14/05/2026 21:58

ive never understood why he was popular, he was never funny

ChristmaslightsuptilJanuary · 14/05/2026 21:57

Fuck no

Flamingojune · 14/05/2026 21:57

I would imagine after the scott mills debacle, moyles is the last person they'd employ

Sartre · 14/05/2026 21:54

My mum always liked him because we’re from the same sort of area as him so she’d listen when he had the breakfast slot on radio 1. I’ll never forget him mocking the shit out of Fall Out Boy. They were my favourite band at the time and I’ve just never liked him since. He’s a bit of a twat.
