Chris Evans is leaving Radio 2

[BeachyUmbrella]

Just announcing it now

Going at Christmas

Jonathan Ross? Loved his music choices...

I think Wossy is still on the naughty step tbh! I adored his saturday show though, always guaranteed a laugh out loud moment.

I love Sara Cox. I hope she gets the job.

Please let it be Sara Cox. I love her.

I really hope it's Sara Cox. I love her!

Used to really enjoy Chris but it has gone a bit stale in recent years and he plays annoying sound bites over and over (or I'm getting really old and don't like the intersections )

Oh nooo -I love Chris!!!

Would be great if they gave it to Vassos!

Good hate radio 2 in the morning..... except when Sarah cox covers. Oh please let it be her who gets the job

Maybe they could give it ti Jo Wiley and let Simon get on with it (runs and hides). Do you think they chat during the records or stare in stony silence at their phones?

He's going to virgin radio.

Whiley and Mayo fecking hate each other. It is obvious, even without seeing their faces. You bet they are staring stonily at their phones!

It's not official but DM says it's Sara Cox! Yeah I hope so. I love Chris and team and only Sara cuts it for me.( can't bear drivetime now and have stopped listening)

Please be Sara Cox, love her so much, so funny and not full of herself like Chris Evans. I laugh all the way into work when Sara covers.

I stopped listening to R2 because of him, he was (then) a bully and very unpleasant person, I am talking 2011

then he started playing his son talking, ewwww ... he is a self promoting tw*t

Walked past him once in Covent Garden. He was crying. Had had a row with Billie Piper who was there too. Will always remember that.

Sorry posted too soon. Felt sorry for him. However he is so arrogant on the breakfast show.

Hoping Jo Whiley, Steve Wright and Jeremy Vine follow out of the door. Actually I've just realised how long it is since I listened to R2...

Please please please let it be Sara Cox

I can't stand Chris Evans. He has an awful reputation at the BBC as a letch and a groper. Can't stand the look of his face, instinctively.

I LIKE Gaby Roslin, we know her and she's a normal nice person. Older than Sara, who's ok I agree, but Gabi might play some less strident , screamy music sometimes.

I won't miss Chris, I still miss Terry (can you tell I'm older!!!!???)

Are you Gaby Roslin? She was on Chris Evans’ show a couple of months ago basically begging for more radio work and plugging a dreadful sounding quiz she had produced and presented for radio 4, which even she didn’t seem convinced by.

Please, please, do not give her the breakfast show, BBC. Cox or Tarbuck for the win.

I'm not but we did meet her when she was doing some work for dh's firm. I agree that the quiz was rubbish but she would be good morning dj !! Geddit!!! She's real IYSWIM.

I love Liza Tarbuck too but I don't reckon she's a morning type.

It’s going to be Zoe Ball isn’t it?

Probably Karting She does stand for him for a lot. About time there was permanent woman on R2 breakfast time.

I hope not Zoe Ball. She was the kiss of death for the Radio 1 breakfast show in the 1990s, she’s irritating and I’m a bit bored of people who get their start in broadcasting through nepotism.

I hope Gabi Roslin gets it!

I reckon if the person is good is doesn't matter what their family do or did;. Zoe Ball holds the Strictly Takes 2 TV programme together very well (which can't be easy), she comes across as a bright , pleasant person.
