Nick Grimshaw has quit BBC Radio 1 after 14 years, the corporation has confirmed. Grimshaw’s usual slot on the station will be replaced by a new show fronted by Vick Hope and Jordan North.
Grimshaw had hosted the “drivetime” slot on BBC Radio 1 since 2018, following six years in the station’s breakfast slot.
“My childhood dream was to work on Radio 1 and I have been lucky enough to make that dream come true,” Grimshaw said.
Grimshaw replaced Chris Moyles, but subsequently garnered headlines due to plummeting listening figures during his tenure on the show.
