Jamil on airwaves in Radio 1 shake–up

TV PRESENTER Jameela Jamil has landed her own show on Radio 1 in a schedule shake-up.

The 26-year-old T4 host will host a two-hour Sunday request show, replacing Tom Deacon in the 7pm slot.

The revamp will also see Greg James and Scott Mills swapping their three-hour weekday programmes. James will take over the drive-time 4pm show, while Mills, understood to have signed a new three-year deal with the station, will move to 1pm.
