I'm well proud to call you my mate!

...Hot from the BBC Press Office

Dev serves up weekend breakfast on Radio 1

"BBC Radio 1 has announced that Dev, who currently presents early breakfast on BBC 1Xtra, is moving across to Radio 1 to take on the weekend breakfast show"

HOORAY!!!!

"Twenty-four-year-old Dev replaces Nick Grimshaw who has moved to evenings on the network.
Dev has been at 1Xtra since the station launched in 2002 – first presenting a Saturday show with Reggie Yates, and then hosting his own weekend show before early weekday breakfast"

Ben Cooper, Deputy Controller, Radio 1 & 1Xtra, says: "BBC 1Xtra is a fantastic place for new presenters to establish themselves and Dev has done just that. I'm keen for talent to grow on 1Xtra and move through to Radio 1 so I'm delighted to welcome him on board."

Congratulations to Dev on this massive step in your career - I've seen him work harder than any 24-year-old I know and reach his goals. Early mornings, late nights, juggling radio, extra shifts, producing music, college, gigs (yep he's in a band too - Left Step Band) and with those looks - but of course! Proving that anything you put your mind to is possible. Dev starts on weekend breakfast on Radio 1 in July. But if you cant wait and wanna hear Dev now, tune into BBC 1Xtra (digital or online) weekday early mornings 6am-8am.

Listen in and support British talent at it's finest!

........Well done darling!x
