To be honest, the BBC has lost it's position in national Radio. I listen to Dave Berry on Absolute now, he's a breath of fresh air and very natural with listeners. The BBC seem to think celebs/comedians off the telly are a good idea on Radio. They aren't - some don't even know what music they are playing. Go back to identifying DJ's with musical knowledge, a good rapport with listeners and not rely on 'celebs'.

I’m sure you could have managed to just say “gay” without your “politically correct head on”. It actually took you more time and effort to type “a gay boy”.

I do not care who the new host will be - as long as they don't get saddled with Richie Anderson.

I do have an off button and have turns off SM breakfast because it was so bland and boring. That ridiculous quiz with the fake pleading - oh it made me cringe for the contestant.

You sound like a school kid from the 90’s with that comment….

Time for Greg James to hop over from R1 then.

Why is this relevant? Also, being pc is much quicker if you omit unnecessary words.

MLMsuperfan · 30/03/2026 12:57

Wonder what he done.

truepenguin · 30/03/2026 12:58

Gosh that is actually interesting news. I have R2 on at work all day (apart from the breakfast show) and didn't enjoy Scott Mills in his afternoon slot (because I liked Steve Wright. Yes, don't @ me.)

But I know when he got the BS he was absolutley ecstatic, like his childhood dreams had come true. I always thought he was a DJ through and through (rather than coming in from another medium like a lot of R2 DJs) so I would have thought he would have been super careful with his precious opportunity. Yikes.

Dinosaurhearmeroar · 30/03/2026 12:58

came on here to see what it could be?! I’m genuinely shocked! I had grown to like his show. Love Gary davis - fed up of tv talent going on radio (Looking at you, Emma Willis). It’s just not the same set of skills!

Wonder what he done.

I’m guessing it’s a Philip Schofield type of offence and Beeb don’t want to go down that route and have it hanging in gossip columns for ages. If it is a young person I’m sure he/parents have learned from PS lad (forget his name) and are probably threatening all sorts legally if he wasn’t sacked.

If it’s Joel Dommett I shall flounce off forever

Oh I think he’s a breath of fresh air.

Silverbirchleaf · 30/03/2026 13:01

sofiamofia · 30/03/2026 12:52

How can he be sacked on allegations alone? Why no investigation?

I said the same to my dh. Surely they would take him off the radio and investigate.

SirChenjins · 30/03/2026 13:02

Ooft - wonder what he's done? It must be bad. I switched R2 off in the morning when he took over, hopefully someone good will take over. I quite like Gary Davies, I think he'd be a good fit - as long as it's not Richie Anderson or Paddy McGuiness 🙏

Reported this for you.

Blimey. I can’t imagine what would be bad enough given how long others have held on at the BBC.

This...

Also likely something was about to come put in the papers/social media.

HoskinsChoice · 30/03/2026 13:03

Ihateboris · 30/03/2026 12:13

Yes, Naga has been accused of bullying.

According to the Daily Mail!

She's still in her job and has not been suspended which tells you either the papers have literally made it all up (which is not exactly unheard of) or, if there are actually accusations, they are not deemed to be accurate or serious.

ohtobethin · 30/03/2026 13:03

GenieGenealogy · 30/03/2026 12:09

Or it's less serious but the management style and approach is changing. I'm sure he'll pop up soon enough doing a spill your guts interview on Channel 5.

No, it says it’s due to personal conduct.

HoraceCope · 30/03/2026 13:03

Also happy he has gone, what a shock

He’s been off for a week - although I agree that isn’t very long for an investigation.

Gonnagetgoingreturnsagain · 30/03/2026 13:04

I know we all hate Tattle life but on celeb secret gossip there are a couple of theories. Could well be gossip.

goingtotown · 30/03/2026 13:04

BBC have never found a suitable replacement for the 6.30 breakfast slot since Terry Wogan.

Apologies and I didn't mean for it to come across that way. It's just I had Phillips Schofield in my head and I was thinking about him. I'm typing on the go

Judystilldreamsofhorses · 30/03/2026 13:07

We’re a 6 Music house but I really like Scott Mills and am sorry to hear this. I’d wager he’s more likely been caught with “inappropriate substances” at work than any sort of sexual misconduct though.

Who had the wonderful Lyn Bowles, not Richie
