Chris Moyles offers words of wisdom to axed Radio 1 DJs Dev Griffin, Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart
CHRIS Moyles has some words of wisdom for the three DJs licking their wounds after being axed from Radio 1.
Dev Griffin, Huw Stephens and Phil Taggart will all leave in a shake-up aimed at bringing in new talent.
Chris, who was axed from The Breakfast Show in 2012, said: “Radio 1 is a conveyor belt, and at some time you will fall off it, because of age or not being relevant any more.”
Chris, now on Radio X, added: “The story goes I was too old for the show. I was 38 when they took us off. They recently hired some DJs who were that age. The show is yours for a while – it is like renting a house for a bit.”
Sounds like it’s time for this trio to hand back the keys . . .
Dev Griffin, 35, who has been a presenter on Radio 1 since 2009, took to Instagram to share the news about his departure.
He told his 100k followers: "Being a DJ on Radio 1 for the past 11 years and 1Xtra for 7 years has been a childhood dream come true and it’s been a huge part of my life."
"I have made some amazing memories and even better friends. It’s been an absolute privilege and a pleasure to waffle and entertain so many listeners but I’m ready for some new challenges."
A long list of our favourite celebrities flocked to the comment section to say their goodbyes to the presenter.
The Saturdays star Mollie King replied: "Noooo Dev! You will be so missed! ❤️"
