As you may have heard, we’re delighted our very own Gemma Atkinson is about to have a baby. This means she will be taking the summer off from her radio commitments before returning to present a brand new show! We can now exclusively reveal, after a special request from Gemma for a lie-in, she will be returning to Hits Radio to host the 4-7pm afternoon show with Wes Butters.

Gethin Jones has taken this opportunity to step down from the breakfast show after a fantastic year. He’s got some exciting projects planned for the summer and of course he too will be taking full advantage of some well deserved lie ins!

You can catch Gemma and Gethin’s last show on Friday 7th June, whilst Dave Vitty will be joining Wes and Sheree for breakfast for a few weeks before Dave says farewell this July.

All of us here at Hits Radio want to wish all of the team the absolute best for the future and a huge thanks for the laughs over the last year… We can’t wait to drive home with Wes and Gemma when she returns and the brand new Hits Radio Breakfast show will be unveiled early summer.
