Cotton takes Whiley Radio One have axed 44 year old Jo Whiley's morning show and replaced her with 28 year old Fearne Cotton. Fearne, is a former girlfriend of Lostprophet Ian Watkins and related to longtime BBC executive & Boss Sir Bill Cotton. Sir Bill (1928–2008) was her paternal grandfather's cousin. Coming from Britain's TV caste and having worked backstage at Liveaid at the age of four, Cotton has now been given Radio One's number two show from 21 September. Known for her many absences from the Chart Show "to launch her US TV career", presumably chart show sidekick Reggie Yates will now be adding weekday deputy to his duties when Cotton's Radio One morning show wanderlust again sets in. Cotton follows in the Radio One morning show footsteps of Jo Whiley (01-09), Simon Mayo (93-01), Simon Bates (77-93) and Tony Blackburn (73-77). There must be some question on how she can have become so valuable to the BBC that in 2008 she was allowed to continue as co-host of Radio One's chart show whilst not being on the show. In fact she couldn't have been much further away from the show having moved over to the USA to host The Guinness Book of Records - Live. If Radio One's chart show has been winning the ratings war with the commercial radio network it's due either to Reg who was there nearly all the time or Hit 40 UK's Lucio Buffoon. Sorry Buffone and the tale of incompetance surrounding it's recent complete demise. Back to Fearne Goes To Hollywood, she went on to co-host the NBC reality show Last Comic Standing and she must have been serious about the US having resigned her presenting role on The X Factor spin-off The Xtra Factor to concentrate on her US career. Fearne was also seen making a special appearance on the super-hit show of recent divorcees Katie Price and Peter Andre, where she was seen in a gift lounge before the Oscars. It's hard to crack Britain never mind America, maybe Stateside didn't work out for her or presumably she'd still be there. There must be some pay-off somewhere. Interestingly she was replaced on her Xtra Factor role by her friend Holly Willoughby who's just landed Fern Britton's ITV This Morning job. Another departure from daytime Radio One is Edith Bowman whom we fondly remember telling intimate details of her 'kebab' on Red Dragon some years back. Edith loses her afternoon show to Greg James, "Best Male Presenter" at the Student Radio Awards in November 2005, for which the prize was a 1 hour show on Radio 1 and Bob's yer uncle.
