Radio 1's Annie Mac will get her first daytime slot on the nation's favourite when she takes over the weekend afternoon show from Sara Cox, who is off on maternity leave. Mac will continue to present her Friday night specialist music show too, though her Sunday night teen aimed show 'Switch' will be taken over by Radio 1 new recruit Nick Grimshaw, who has already made guest appearances on the show, and who co-hosts music show 'Sound' with Mac on BBC2.
Confirming her new show, Mac told reporters: "I think Sara is an exceptional presenter, and I just hope I do her show justice for her when she's away. I know that 'Switch' is in safe hands with my mate Grimmy looking after it. He's so funny on the radio and is properly passionate about new music. He'll do a super job".
