Radio 1 schedule shake up after Adele Roberts quits and huge show moves to Wales

BBC Radio 1 has seen a schedule shake up after Adele Roberts quit her show.

The 44-year-old presenter made the decision to step down after her show was relocated from London to Cardiff.

Adele has hosted the Weekend Breakfast Show since 2020, and was previously on the Early Morning Breakshow.

Now, Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston will join forces to co-host the station’s revamped show from 7am to 10am.

Jess Iszatt will become the new host of BBC Introducing on Sundays between 11pm and 12am – replacing Gemma Bradley.

The announcements were made through BBC Radio 1′s Twitter account on Wednesday.

Adele has had a difficult few years after being diagnosed with stage two bowel cancer in 2021.

The radio news comes after she told fans she had taken the “first step” towards getting her colon working again after beating cancer.

The star had her rectum removed after being diagnosed with stage three bowel cancer before being given the all clear.

In a health update shared on Instagram, Adele said she was “nervous” ahead of a surgery which could mean using a toilet “the old-fashioned way” some day.

Adele was fitted with a stoma (which she nicknamed Audrey) in October – a device which allows waste to be diverted out of the body and into a bag.

When it was fitted, doctors told the former Big Brother contestant she might not be able to go to the toilet normally ever again.

She recently ran the London marathon with her stoma bag.

Adele, who is in a relationship with Kate Holderness,  became even more famous when she appeared on I’m A Celeb in 2019.
