Jamie Laing breaks his silence over backlash on new Radio 1 gig after listeners claimed channel was turning into a 'Posh Boys Club'


It emerged on Friday that Jamie will be replacing Jordan North , 34, who quit the legendary Going Home show after a decade on on the BBC station.

'Jordan North is a complete pro/legend, he's left some really big shoes to fill so I’m going to do my absolute best to do him and the show justice, and to be working alongside the insane Vick Hope is amazing. Head of Radio 1, Aled Haydn Jones said: 'Jordan has enjoyed huge support from the station and listeners, developing his talent to host multiple shows across the network. 'He has always connected with the Radio 1 audience through his shows and projects, as witnessed by the huge amount of money raised for Comic Relief during his rowing trip from London to Burnley.'
