Nick Grimshaw to replace Lauren Laverne on 6Music Breakfast

Lauren Laverne is stepping down from the 6Music Breakfast Show and will be replaced by Nick Grimshaw, the BBC confirmed today.

"It has been a huge honour (and so much fun) to host the breakfast show for six wonderful years, but it is time to pass the baton on, and to set my alarm a little later, Lauren said in a statement.

"As listeners will know, I had a really tough 2024 and worried at times that I wouldn't be able to return to the station I love so much."

She continued: "During my recovery I learned all over again about the power of music, the people you surround yourself with and the emotional support and joy radio can provide.

"I'm so grateful to be able to get back to doing what I love and sharing those things with our brilliant listeners every day."

Mary-Anne Hobbs who currently presents 6Music’s morning show is taking a break from the station and will return to front a new programme in the spring.

Nick Grimshaw previously presented the Radio 1 Breakfast Show and went on to cover shows on both Virgin Radio and BBC Radio 2. He has covered 6Music since Lauren took time off to receive cancer treatment.

He will take the reigns of 6Music Breakfast in February.
