Dick and Dom exit BBC Radio 1

Dick and Dom are to leave their Radio 1 Sunday morning show, the BBC has announced.

The pair - Richard McCourt and Dominic Wood - have been presenting a 10am-1pm slot on Sundays since last year.

Meanwhile, Nick Grimshaw will take over the weekend 7am-10am breakfast show, and Nihal will present the station's Saturday 1pm-4pm slot.

Sarah Cox and Edith Bowman will also return from maternity leave.

Ben Cooper, head of programmes at Radio 1, said: "Nihal and Nick Grimshaw have already proved themselves in their current slots and I'm really excited about what they can achieve with their new shows. It'll be great to have Sara and Edith back in the Radio 1 family.

He continued: "We are saying goodbye to Dick and Dom and I want to wish them all the very best and say thanks for their work at Radio 1."
