New Radio 1 afternoon hosts Dean McCullough and Vicky Hawkesworth on dealing with 'getting stick' after taking over from Scott Mills
This week has seen big change at Radio 1 as Dean McCullough and Vicky Hawkesworth joined forces to host a new daytime show, taking over from the legendary Scott Mills. Their 1pm to 3.30pm show is the first weekday programme to move out of London for broadcast from MediaCity in Salford as part of the BBC’s Across The UK plans, announced by the director general Aled Haydn Jones last year.

You have this fear that they're not going to like us because Scott and Chris were amazing. But the response has been so lovely to see people just going 'we like and we'll stick around.'"
Instagram The northern Irish DJ added: "I think for me, as a big fan of Scott Mills to hear him say that 'I'm getting trolled as well. I will go through whatever you're going through,' in a really weird sort of way makes you feel better." Vicky, from Little Lever, realised she felt 'at home' in front of a microphone as a shy high school pupil and has realised a dream by working for Radio 1 near home in Salford with a production team who are from Greater Manchester. "I'm so happy it's here. I love London. It's wonderful place but I'm a home girl at heart and I always wanted be doing radio from the north if I could.
