Angellica Bell is Fleur East's maternity cover on Hits Radio Breakfast

"Fleur East has just announced that this week will be her last on air for a little while as she is off having her baby. So, from Monday 12th February, Angellica Bell will be looking after things while Fleur takes some time off.

Announcing the news, Fleur told listeners: "I can’t believe it’s my last week, it’s honestly flown by. But I am ready to get in the zone now, I need to get home, I need to start nesting, and I need to try and sleep whilst I have any time left! The thought of taking a break is a little bit weird, but I am so pleased to say that one of my good friends, Angellica Bell, is going to be the one looking after things for me."

Angellica said: “I was so honoured when you called and asked me to cover, I just thought ‘yeah, I’m going to do justice for your job, be here and then when you’re ready you come back. I am so excited for you and you are going to be an amazing Mum but now we just want you to take some time out and chill out!”

Already a familiar face at Bauer, Angellica will still be on Magic Radio with her Saturday morning show alongside her new role on Hits Radio.

Paul Gerrard, Hits Radio Content Director, said: “We’re all going to miss Fleur as she takes a break from Breakfast, but I know that Angellica is going to do a brilliant job when she joins the team next week. She’s a fantastic presenter with a huge amount of energy, well-loved by our audience and already feels part of the team! I’m confident she’ll be a brilliant wake up call for the UK each morning.”

While on the show, Fleur has welcomed some massive names in music including Ella Henderson, David Guetta, Adele, Elton John, Ed Sheeran, Coldplay, Anne-Marie, James Arthur, and Sigala!
