Talking of changing chart show presenters, Neil Fox will officially leave the commercial radio chart show Hit40 UK on 30 May. Fox announced his intention to hand over the reigns of the show earlier this year - last week it was confirmed radio presenter Simon Hirst and TV presenter Katy Hill will take over the job.
Announcing his departure from the show, which he has fronted since 1993, Fox told reporters: "I've been hosting the top 40 for over a decade and it's amazing to think how music has changed in that time. I've seen out Take That, the Spice Girls, Brit Pop, the explosion of dance music and now the massive success of R n B. That's almost a whole generation of pop music right there. Now is definitely the right time for me to move on and I'm handing over to a great team. Katy was my choice, I've been a big supporter of her since we did a show on the Brits together - I said straight afterwards 'this girl would be perfect for Kit40UK'. Simon Hirst is a fantastic DJ - he's done a brilliant job standing in for me when I've been away - so he really knows the ropes. I'm now looking forward to listening to their first show as I lie relaxing on a beach somewhere!"
