Radio 1 will relaunch its Sunday afternoon show 'Backstage' as a celebrity gossip programme in Sep when current presenter Rajesh Mirchandani leaves the station.
Inspired in part by the success of Heat magazine, the station is currently talking to various celebrities in the search for a couple to host the hour-long show before the Official UK Top 40 weekly chart show is broadcast at 4pm.
A spokesman for the station said: "The new show will cover a broader remit. We'll be at every big showbiz party, film premiere, festival and concert - it will be like Heat for the radio."
