Kash dropped from TOTP

According to the Sunday Mirror, presenter Tim Kash will not have his six-month Top of the Pops contract renewed, with Dermot O'Leary and Fearne Cotton reportedly considered as replacements.

Following news earlier this month that concerns are rising at the Beeb over the new look Top of the Pops, and its habit of losing viewers, news this weekend that presenter Tim Kash is to be axed from the show. According to the Sunday Mirror, Kash's six month contract will not be renewed. If true that is a bit of a blow for the BBC and TOTP producer Andi Peter's, who were keen to stress how the involvement of MTV presenter Kash showed how damn cool the new look TOTP was.

Word is Fearne Cotton and Dermot O'Leary are being considered as a replacement, though it you ask me they should get Andi Peters on the phone to his old friends at Channel 4 and see if they can poach Popworld's Miquita Oliver and Simon Amstell for the job.
