Presenter Jamie Laing is to be joined by his wife Sophie Habboo on his BBC Radio 1 show after co-presenter Vick Hope goes on maternity leave.
Habboo will appear on Going Home, which runs from Monday to Thursday between 3.30pm and 6pm, from June 2 to June 18, as Hope joins Laing's other co-presenter Katie Thistleton on maternity leave.
Habboo, who rose to fame on reality TV show Made In Chelsea, said: "I'm thrilled to finally announce that I'll be joining the Radio 1 family for the next few weeks.
"I've always loved how radio connects people across the nation in real time, and I'm honoured to be stepping in for Vick while she starts her exciting new chapter of life.
"Anyone who knows me knows I'm no stranger to talking to a mic for hours, so I'm excited to connect with new people, dive into some great conversations, and hopefully share a few laughs along the way.
"I'll also be making a bit of Radio 1 history presenting alongside my husband Jamie Laing, which feels really special, and probably a bit chaotic in the best way. Catch you on-air."
The pair will become the first married couple to present a show together on Radio 1, but they have previously hosted the NewlyWeds podcast and red carpet events such as the Brit Awards together.
Habboo will appear on the show from Monday to Wednesday.
On June 23, Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston will take over from Habboo as co-hosts on the show.
Radio 1 has also announced that former I'm A Celebrity contestant GK Barry will take over the weekend afternoon show, which runs from Friday to Sunday between 1pm and 4pm, throughout July, beginning on Friday July 4.
Special guests will co-host with the social media star, who presents the Saving Grace podcast.
Barry said: "I am so excited to be presenting my own show with BBC Radio 1 across July.

Danny Jones and wife put on defiant display ahead of awkward Maura Higgins run-in
McFly star Danny Jones shares a rare insight into his family holiday with his wife Georgia Horsley and seven-year-old son, ahead of his reunion with Marua Higgins at the NTAs McFly star Danny Jones has been soaking up the sunshine on a sweet family getaway, as the singer reminded fans just how loved-up he is with wife Georgia Horsley, before an awkward reunion with Maura Higgins next month. Sharing a series of cosy holiday snaps on Instagram, Danny, 39, looked completely relaxed as he posed alongside former Miss England Georgia during their sun-drenched break. The couple, who tied the knot in 2014, looked happier than ever as they enjoyed some downtime with their seven-year-old son, Cooper. Musician Danny cut a smart figure in one snap, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, while Georgia looked glamorous in a plunging top and some stylish shorts. Other snaps included the stunning scenery and their son Cooper pulling funny faces. Danny captioned the post: "Some time in the sunshiiiiine!'. It comes after David Beckham speaks 'as a father' in 'family' announcement after latest Brooklyn snub. The sweet family holiday has come ahead of the NTAs, which could see Danny and Maura Higgins have an awkward red carpet run-in following their drunken kiss at the BRIT Awards after party in March. Marua and Danny met when they were stuck in the I'm A Celeb jungle in Australia for three weeks. The popular ITV show has previously picked up 15 National Television Awards and is often shortlisted for the Best Entertainment category. Upon winning an award, the crowned winner of the show usually joins TV hosts Ant and Dec on stage for their 'thank you' speech. This would make Danny Jones at risk of bumping into Maura after spending time away from the spotlight to repair his marriage. A source revealed to The Sun: 'Danny is expected to attend NTAs on September 10, as have all previous reigning jungle winners — and Maura is also going. She is the queen of a red carpet moment and adores getting glammed up.' The source added: 'There will have to be some clever choreography to ensure they don't end up next to each other when walking the red carpet, but they could both end up on stage if I'm A Celebrity wins. 'Maura won't be answering any questions about the kiss. She's put the incident behind her and feels she has nothing to be ashamed of. Danny has also been moving on, but they knew that their paths were bound to cross at some point.' Danny and Maura became embroiled in a scandal after the BRIT Awards this year. A video showing the two sharing a kiss resulted in a dicey time for Danny's marriage to influencer and wife of 11 years, Georgia. He has spent the year quietly attempting to repair their relationship after Georgia left the family home for a period of time to cool off The 2025 NTAs will take place on 10th September for the 30th anniversary. The award show is known for being one of the most glamorous and chaotic nights in the showbiz calendar, where TV's familiar faces gather to toast their achievements.

Mum visits local charity shop and is gobsmacked by bargain designer find
Mum visits local charity shop and is gobsmacked by bargain designer find One woman shared she had done some shopping at her local charity shop and made some "amazing finds" - including a luxury designer item which she thought was the real deal She couldn't believe what she found (Stock Image) (Image: FG Trade via Getty Images) Charity shops can be absolutely thrilling, as you never quite know what treasures you might uncover. The potential discoveries are limitless, and certain outlets are renowned for being filled with designer pieces. However, when one woman spotted the price tag on a famous designer top, she was utterly stunned, as they're being resold second-hand for nearly £200. Emily, who shares content on TikTok as @thriftingwithem, revealed she had made an "amazing find at the charity shop," expressing her disbelief. She observed that "as per usual, there were some stunning pieces" among her discoveries, though one particular piece remained on her mind. The mother operates as a reseller, purchasing items from her local charity shop at their reasonable prices before selling them on at higher rates. She disclosed she managed to secure some Tom's espadrilles for £5.99, later selling them for £20 after taking them home, photographing them, and listing them on the platform. "I sold them within 10 minutes of listing them on Vinted," Emily declared proudly. Content cannot be displayed without consent Emily subsequently displayed a dress that retained its original tags for a tenner, which was "still on the website for £79," alongside a charming Ted Baker dressing gown priced at £7.99. Article continues below She discovered a Diane Von Furstenberg dress for £24.99, which can be resold, according to Emily, for approximately £150. There was a brand-new Topshop dress for £5.99, which she said she "loved" and with the brand experiencing a revival on ASOS thanks to Cara Delevingne, it's probably an opportune moment to invest in this label. A Sea Salt Cornwall dress also caught her eye for just £7.99, and there was a Next denim top with a sweet frilly collar for £4.99. "But this is where it gets interesting," she continued, as on the video she pulled out a black top, which turned out to be the designer brand Off-White. "I found an Off-White jacket for £6.99. If this is real, there is one selling online at the moment for £180," she gushed, asking people to tell her whether they thought it was authentic or not. Emily also noted if this jacket was purchased brand new with tags from the retailer, it would've cost over £400. In the comments, some criticised her for reselling items from a charity shop, but Emily defended herself, saying the shop "knows" that she's a "reseller". Someone wrote: "Sorry, just to get this right, you buy stuff from a charity shop, and then sell it again at a higher cost for personal gain?" Emily replied: "Yes, it's a great side hustle if you are looking to supplement your income. The charity shop makes money, and so do I. I buy from carboot sales, supermarkets and online auction sites to resell too!" Article continues below A TikTok user said: "From what I can see that [the Off-White jacket] looks legit." Lots of other people agreed.

Jeremy Clarkson reveals Kaleb Cooper's sweary reply to police after being stopped
Jeremy Clarkson reveals Kaleb Cooper's sweary reply to police after being stopped Jeremy Clarkson has shared how his Clarkson's Farm co-star Kaleb Cooper wasn't impressed after he was forced to pull over by police recently Jeremy Clarkson has revealed Kaleb Cooper's foul mothed remark towards police recently (Image: Lia Toby, Getty Images for the NTA's) Former Top Gear host Jeremy Clarkson has revealed how his Clarkson's Farm colleague Kaleb Cooper swore at police officers following a recent encounter. The recent visit of US Vice President JD Vance to the area sparked disapproval among some residents in the quiet town of Chipping Norton. While some locals voiced their political concerns about his presence, Kaleb's frustration stemmed from entirely different circumstances. In a recent piece for The Sunday Times, Jeremy Clarkson described how the politician was given a police escort whilst travelling through the local vicinity. Detailing how officers were tasked with moving people aside as the convoy passed through the town, Jeremy recalled how one of those affected was his Clarkson's Farm colleague, Kaleb. Jeremy was reflecting on the Vice Presidents recent trip to the Cotswolds (Image: James Sutton - Formula 1, Formula 1 via Getty Images) Reflecting on how events transpired, Jeremy explained: "One of the people they ordered to pull over was Kaleb Cooper, my tractor driver, but it was starting to rain and he urgently needed to get his load of wheat into the shed, so he invited his tormentor to eff off. And carried on regardless." Article continues below Subsequently, in the days following the incident, Kaleb expressed his frustration by responding to one of Jeremy's Instagram posts, explaining what had occurred. He commented: "My wheat got wet in the trailer last night as the convo(y) stopped me in the rain in chippy. I could have easily went on my way and got it in the shed without getting in the way." Kaleb was reportedly pulled over by the police (Image: Ash Donelon, Manchester United via Getty Images) On a brighter note for the 27-year-old farmer, he celebrated the arrival of his third child with fiancée Taya on Thursday (August 14). Nearly three years after proposing, the couple have welcomed Ashton as their newest addition. Taking to Instagram to announce the news, Kaleb posted: "Baby number 3. everyone meet Ashton weighing 6.13lb born 14th august at 6:28pm at chipping norton maternity. Ps don't worry I bought the amazing midwife's a Chinese as well." Despite Kaleb voicing his own concerns about being affected by the politician's entourage, the Clarkson's Farm favourite wasn't alone among locals expressing their frustration with the visit. In nearby Charlbury, where he was based, demonstrators organised the "Vance Not Welcome Party" through local groups "Everybody Hates Elon" and the "Stop Trump Coalition". Not all of those in the town were pleased to see the US politician (Image: Bloomberg, Bloomberg via Getty Images) However, not everyone was opposed to his presence - in fact, newly-announced Strictly contestant and former Apprentice star Tom Skinner received an invitation to the vice-president's holiday residence following their previous social media back and fourths. Article continues below Following their meeting at Vance's retreat earlier this week, Tom shared his appreciation on X: "Unreal night with JD and his friends and family." He continued: "He was a proper gent. Lots of laughs and some fantastic food. A brilliant night, one to tell the grand kids about."
