Noel Edmonds has criticised Sara Cox in an interview with the Radio Times, calling her "coarse and unpleasant".
Edmonds, who hosted the breakfast show back in the hay day of Radio 1 in the late seventies/early eighties, said: "She talks about 'shagging', A word I wouldn't dream of using in public. She's coarse and unpleasant - very 'yesterday'. I do the school run and we joke my kids can listen to Radio 1 until she says something crude. Usually I haven't got into fourth gear before that happens."
Edmonds, is currently hosting the Drivetime show on Radio 2 while Johnnie Walker is receives treatment for colon cancer.
