Chris Moyles and Comedy Dave are reportedly involved in a bitter feud. The loud-mouthed DJ - who stepped down from fronting the Radio 1 Breakfast show in September after 10 years - is said to have fallen out with his former co-presenter Dave Vitty after striking up a close relationship with Dave's ex-wife. According to friends close to the 38-year-old broadcaster, he feels 'totally betrayed' by Chris's close friendship with his ex-wife Jayne Sharpe, whom he was married to for five years after meeting her when she was a runner on the 'The Chris Moyles Show'. A Radio 1 insider said: 'They were so tight knit but that changed almost overnight after Dave got wind of the friendship. Things deteriorated...

Hot on the tail of news that Chris Moyles will leave Radio 1 at the end of September, vacating the Breakfast Show slot he has held for eight and a half years, the BBC have announced that Nick Grimshaw will take over the show.
The radio and TV presenter, who currently presents the late evening show, at the station as well as co-hosting Sunday night slot with Annie Mac, has been named as the surprise choice to takeover the flagship slot, after favourite Greg James, who took took over the Radio 1 drive time show from Scott Mills back in February was overlooked for the appointment.
27-year-old Grimshaw, who balances his radio work with presenting duties on Channel 4′s T4 programming will take over when Moyles steps down in September, as the BBC seek to target a younger demographic. His experience in youth presenting is said to have helped his cause greatly.

The comedian's challenge has seen him so far cycle 185 miles from Paris to Calais, where he joined celebrity rowers Davina McCall, Freddie Flintoff and Denise Lewis to cross the English Channel. Despite suffering from exhaustion, Bishop and his supporters arrived in Dover yesterday evening, completing the second stage of his 290-mile journey. At 9am this morning, Bishop - said to have been in high spirits - set off on his first marathon, on which he was joined for the first leg by Radio 1 presenter Comedy Dave Vitty.

Kerry Katona is the bookies favourite for tonight’s Dancing On Ice elimination.
The troubled reality TV star narrowly avoided being sent home last Sunday, when she found herself in the skate off against superior skater Comedy Dave Vitty. He may have been able to jump on the rink, but judges Jason Gardiner and Emma Bunton preferred Kerry’s performance element and so she lived to skate another week.
However bookmakers don’t think she will be that lucky twice and Paddy Power are offering odds of 4/6 that the former Atomic Kitten singer will be voted off tonight.
Also looking likely to be in the bottom two is Loose Women star Denise Welch. Her odds are set at 11/4, while both Laura Hamilton and Sam Attwater remain favourites. Paddy Power has set odds on just 50/1 on either star leaving the ITV series this evening.

The DJ is less proficient on the ice than many of his fellow contestants and thinks that a lot of this is down to sheer exhaustion.

Nadia Sawalha has claimed that the Dancing On Ice’s male contestants are obsessed with fake tan.
The former Eastenders actres – who was eliminated from the ITV1 skating show on Sunday night’s launch show – explained the men wanted to pretend they were “forced” into having the tanning treatments, when really they were “desperate” to have it done.
She told Digital Spy: “I’ll tell you what really happened with the fake tan. I have never seen men so eager to have their fake tan done. They kept saying, ‘I’ve got to have it done, I’ve got to have it done’. I was the only person who didn’t get a fake tan, which ruined it for these men, because they’d been telling people that...

Dave Vitty is hoping his fake tan distracts viewers from his lack of coordination on ‘Dancing On Ice’.
The Radio 1 DJ – who is partnered alongside professional skater Frankie Poultney on the ITV1 show – admitted while his training is going well, he wants his “orange” fake tan to be so mesmerising that people won’t notice his lack of ability on the ice.
Writing on his twitter page, he said: “The training is going good ta & the tan is rich! I figure that looking orange will detract from my lack of coordination & ability! I still smell a little bit like biscuits.
“I’m getting browner by the day! So much so that somebody at Slough Ice rink today asked if I’d been on holiday (sic).”
