Off again, why dont they replace her she is off more than on, dentist last week, what is it this week. She only works 3 hours a day, surely dentist could come after the show? Its a shame, I was starting to enjoy her after Chris Evans. I cannot listen to Gaby Roslin, surely there are better options like Gary Davis? He is a pro

GordonBlue · 12/07/2024 17:13

I don't know but her mum is 😕

HappiestSleeping · 12/07/2024 17:14

Never really got on with Zoe Ball.

Her mum recently died!

FrenchandSaunders · 12/07/2024 17:14

Her mum died recently. Maybe it’s connected to that, she went back to work quite quickly and it’s not the type of job you can just put your head down and quietly get on with it is it

PangolinPan · 12/07/2024 17:17

First week of holidays for private schools, so assume she's off with her daughter.
Sara Cox is also off.
A lot of them seem to be off at the moment (also Vine) and Scott seems to be out a lot to me, though I don't listen to his show when he's on it.

tennissquare · 01/08/2024 23:19

@PangolinPan , I thought Scott was off a lot too but I now see he is in celebrity race across the world that airs this month so he must have been filming that pre Eurovision. I also don't listen to his show!

PolaroidPrincess · 20/08/2024 19:55

Scott Mills is doing her show this week and DJ Spoony is doing Scott's show. I'm quite enjoying the change.

PangolinPan · 20/08/2024 19:57

I quite like Scott in the morning, he's very funny in his interactions with callers, little comments and stuff. His afternoon show is so formulaic and boring. Spoony always takes me back to his Sunday morning show so I'll always enjoy listening to him.

Cinderstheoneandonly · 21/08/2024 08:41

Oh yes please keep Scott on the morning show, I cant listen when they use Gabby. Lets face it she is not a DJ. I dont know why Zoe doesnt resign, as she clearly doesnt want the job

I guess because she gets paid shitloads.

She was the sane when she was on R1 in the 90s.

HelenWheels · 21/08/2024 20:38

also not keen on Gabby Roslin
quite like Zoe 7.33 bit but that is about all i listen to

Romeiswheretheheartis · 31/08/2024 23:44

Gabby Roslin is far too gushy and over the top for my liking, but Scott Mills is the other extreme - I find him dull and completely charisma-free on both his afternoon show and doing the morning show. And he has barely any interaction with Ritchie, just a curt 'thanks' after the travel. I really like Zoe, I think she has a good relationship with the team. I hope she's back soon.

IdaPrentice · 31/08/2024 23:52

I like Scott Mills in the morning, but do miss Zoe. Gaby Roslin is just dull (and I can't tell her voice apart from Nicky Chapman's, who I also don't really like).

PangolinPan · 03/09/2024 23:55

I'm quite liking the current line up, if we can let Spoony stop doing the dreadful birthday game and do the "where's my manor" game he did with Mikey back in the naughties I'll be happy!
Loved Spoony on with Jay Blades and he's so lovely with callers.
I also wish OJ was on during the day as I find him hilarious.

Justleaveitblankthen · 04/09/2024 00:20

Had to Google Scott Mills.
Thought he might be the Gogglebox guy who I find funny 🙃

Sarah Cox from my neck of the woods. More northern than a chip butty, but only catch segments during a drive home.

Me and my DSis were saying the same about the current line up yesterday.

Can't agree with you about OJ though sorry.

Anjelika · 05/09/2024 12:58

I am also preferring this new temporary line-up! I have to turn Scott off in the afternoons with all his "Love you, bye" but actually prefer him to Zoe in the mornings. I agree that Gaby Roslin is way too gushy - and frankly embarrassing on Thursday quiz day with Jay - she makes me cringe! I don't know much about Spoony but much prefer him in the afternoons to Scott. I'm hoping they keep this line-up!

OSU · 05/09/2024 13:05

Scott Mills is so good in the mornings, a proper professional DJ. Zoe is too gushy for me and I don't like the we all love Ritchie thing so happy if Scott keeps it short with him.

I would be very happy if Scott moved to mornings and perhaps either keep DJ Spooney in afternoons, move Jo Whiley there (love her) or Owain.
I am sure Zoe is lovely, she's just not my favourite to listen to first thing.

Blackberriesandcobwebs · 05/09/2024 13:11

I wonder if she may be struggling a bit since her mum died.

BeeandG · 09/09/2024 07:18

Love Scott in the morning. So refreshing and prefer him to Zoe. Hope he can stay on breakfast!

She probably is. She has been through such a lot.

the80sweregreat · 15/09/2024 18:15

Where is Zoe?
I hope she is alright as she's been away for ages now and all feels a bit strange.
Don't mind Scott mills or Gaby , but would be nice to know she's ok.

PangolinPan · 16/09/2024 19:29

Guess she's just sorting herself out privately. Hope she's ok.

I did enjoy Mark Goodier in for Vernon today tho! Blast from the past and he's so good too.
