Jamie Laing and Katie Thistleton joined Vick Hope to launch the brand new Going Home show on BBC Radio 1 today.

The revamped teatime show launched just two weeks after the rapid departure of Jordan North, who signed up to replace Roman Kemp on Capital.

So how did they sound? Well, actually, right at home.

Led by Vick, who sounds so relaxed and natural on the air, the threesome achieved the difficult fete of sounding like older siblings to the younger listeners, whilst for older listeners it was like being down the pub with your mates. We came away thinking how fun it would be to have a night in a boozer with the three of them, and that's no easy thing to achieve on the radio.

The show kicked off in style with Dua Lipa's Training Session and other tunes came from Raye, Billie Eilish, Becky Hill and The Snuts, among many more. All peppered with often hilarious chat.

The message was, Jordan may have gone but it's business as usual. Jamie brings the same kind of naughty and cheeky appeal, which shone through in the various features - all of which listeners already know and love.

As the presenters got acquainted, so did the listeners, learning plenty... if not too much information about the new boy. As one listener asked what the last thing he bought from Amazon was, the answer was Anusol. In another conversation, Jamie showed Katie and Vick the last photo on his phone that he deleted.. one of him half naked (bottom half) sat on a sofa.

There were plenty of laughs throughout and we must say, it's one of the most effortless sounding shows we've heard in a long time... which actually goes to show how hard they've worked on it.

First impressions are, this is going to be appointment listening. We can't wait for more tomorrow...

Oh, and we'd like to put it out there that these three would make GREAT hosts of the BRITS 2025...

Jamie, Vick and Katie are your new Going Home on Radio 1 hosts

Vick Hope says, “Here we go, a new era…! I’m so happy to welcome Katie and Jamie as my new co-hosts for Going Home. Katie is such a special, important broadcaster, and one of my favourite people in the world. I’ve absolutely loved presenting Life Hacks together every Sunday for the last three years and in that time not only have we built a really strong, beautiful relationship with our listeners through thick and thin, but we’ve become such close friends. I’m so excited to get to work - and hang out - with each other every day and so glad our on-air journey together continues. And as for Jamie… he’s so much fun to be around, a really brilliant broadcaster. I’ve found him laugh-out-loud hilarious radio when he’s hosted with Matt, and when we covered together last year he brought such great energy. As a trio, right from our first demo in studio we’ve all been in stitches! I know the Going Home listeners will absolutely love both Katie and Jamie - I can’t wait for us to get going.”

Katie Thistleton says, “I am beyond thrilled to be joining Vick and Jamie on Going Home, I have loved filling in on the show for the past couple of years, working with Vick is always dreamy and I’m such a big fan of Jamie. I can’t wait for lots of fun chaos and playing the best tunes for that amazing drivetime audience, this is beyond my wildest dreams! Pinch me!”

Jamie Laing says, “So excited to have Katie joining Going Home with Vick and I. It already feels like a dream to be a part of the Radio 1 family so to get to work alongside such incredible people like Katie and Vick is the icing on the cake. I can’t wait to kick off the show next week - get ready for an afternoon of fun and antics!”
