Mollie King’s Radio 1 return date confirmed
Mollie King will be back alongside Matt Edmondson on BBC Radio 1 from Monday 1 September.
Mollie King is set to return to BBC Radio 1 on Monday 1 September, reuniting with co-host Matt Edmondson for their popular lunchtime show.
The former Saturdays singer and long-time presenter has been absent from the airwaves in recent weeks due to illness. During her recovery, fellow Radio 1 favourite Jerry has been stepping in alongside Edmondson to keep the show on the road.
Listeners will no doubt be delighted to hear Mollie’s back — and Edmondson has often spoken about how much he enjoys their on-air partnership. Together, the duo have become one of the station’s most popular double-acts, drawing a loyal lunchtime audience with their mix of sharp humour, playful games, and engaging interviews.
Since joining Radio 1, Matt and Mollie’s chemistry has helped define the station’s daytime sound, earning them a reputation as one of its standout shows. Their blend of light-hearted banter and genuine warmth keeps listeners tuning in across the UK, and their return as a team is sure to be welcomed by fans and colleagues alike.
Mollie’s first show back will air on Monday 1 September from 12pm, marking the start of a new chapter for the lunchtime slot after a summer of guest cover.
