BBC denies cutting Irish language part of CMAT single in first radio play
The Meath musician, whose name is Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, said she did not know who made the decision to edit out the start of her new track Euro-Country. She posted to social media to say that there was another 'crazy edit' removing a reference in the song to suicides in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crash. 'I just want to say really quickly that it was not my decision to have the Irish language edited out of the first ever play of Euro Country on radio,' she said on Instagram on Tuesday. 'It was not my decision and I don't know if it was a mistake or what happened but that was not my decision. 'However, they have just got in contact and said that they are going to play the Irish language intro, full-version of Euro-Country tomorrow (Wednesday) to make up for it. 'I don't know who edited it out, that was crazy of them.' The Irish lyrics at the start of the song refer to 'an empty head' and 'a new personality' after someone has 'gone from my life'. The last Irish lyric asks 'will I be beautiful bald'. The lyrics are: 'Cad is ga dom a dheanamh mura bhfuil me ag bualadh leat? 'Ta ceann folamh agam, agus pearsantach nua. Eirim nios dofheicthe, is tu imithe o mo shoal. 'Nil aon rud fagtha sa scathain, An mbeidh me alainn mhaol? Yeah.' In a statement, the BBC said the version of the song supplied by the record label was played, and the full version would be played on Radio 1 three times on Wednesday. 'BBC Radio 1 did not edit the Irish language from this single, we broadcast the radio edit of CMAT's new song Euro-Country that was supplied by the record label,' it said. 'BBC Radio 1 has already played the full version that includes the Irish language intro today on 'Rickie Melvin and Charlie', and it will be played again on 'Going Home', and Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.' The 29-year-old pop singer, who blends pop and rock with folk and country influences, has won plaudits for her performance at Glastonbury, and is due to perform at the All Together Now festival in August and at the 3Arena in December. Her third studio album is set for release on August 29.

"I don't know who edited that out; that was crazy of them ... Yeah, not my decision, but they're fixing it." In a statement given to the broadcaster said that they 'did not edit out the Irish language from this single' and the version of the song aired was a radio edit 'supplied by the record label'. BBC have since said that the full, unedited version of the song will be aired on Wednesday during Radio One shows Rickie Melvin and Charlie, Going Home, and Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.

BBC says it did not cut Irish lyrics from first radio play of CMAT's new single
The BBC has said it did not edit the Irish-language lyrics from the debut radio broadcast of CMAT's new single, Euro-Country. The song was released on Tuesday (22 July) and had its first broadcast on BBC Radio 1. The first 45 seconds of the song feature lyrics in Irish, but these did not feature on the broadcast. In a video on her Instagram Stories, the Irish singer, whose full name is Ciara Mary-Alice Thompson, said: "It was not my decision to have the Irish language edited out of the first ever play of Euro-Country on radio. "I don't know if it was a mistake or what happened, but that was not my decision." She continued: "However, they have just gotten in contact and said that they are going to play the Irish language intro – the full version of Euro-Country... to make up for it. "I don't know who edited it out – that was crazy of them." The music star added: "They also did a crazy editing out of the line 'I was 12 when the dads started killing themselves all around me', which I guess is more understandable." The BBC said the station had broadcast the radio version of the song "that was supplied by the record label". "BBC Radio 1 did not edit the Irish language from this single," a BBC spokesperson told RTÉ Entertainment. The broadcaster said the station "has already played the full version that includes the Irish language intro" on Rickie Melvin and Charlie, and it will be played again on Going Home, and Radio 1's New Music Show with Jack Saunders.

TikToker Charley Marlowe joins Radio 1 as presenter
TikTok star Charley Marlowe is set to join BBC Radio 1 as a summer presenter, the station has announced. Charley, who also narrates BBC Three's I Kissed A Girl, will host the Early Breakfast show on Fridays from August. She says she's "absolutely buzzing" and plans to play "as much Jane McDonald and Kylie Minogue as the BBC allow". A number of other changes have also been announced to the schedule, including Made in Chelsea star Jamie Laing stepping back from the Going Home show for a couple of months due to filming commitments. His afternoon slot will be covered by Sam MacGregor and Danni Diston until September, when Jamie will be rejoined by co-host Katie Thistleton as she returns from maternity leave. It comes just over a month since the last shake-up of the slot, when Radio 1 bosses announced Jamie would temporarily be joined by his wife, Sophie Habboo. At the same time, they also announced another social media star, GK Barry, joining the line-up. The TikToker and I'm a Celeb star's summer-long stint as the weekend afternoon host starts from this Saturday. The summer schedule will also see Greg James' Breakfast show running for an extra half an hour each weekday from 21 July until September. Tskenya Frazer will join Lauren Layfield to co-host Life Hacks for July after a successful stint during the 2024 festive period as part of the station's Christmas Takeover. "I am so looking forward to bringing my lived experience and hearty vibes to the show," she said. She'll swap with DJ and former Capital Xtra's Breakfast Show presenter Yinka Bokinni for August. The station also announced plans to cover TRNSMT, Boomtown, Ibiza, Malta and Reading and Leeds festivals live, including headline sets and backstage access. Listen to Newsbeat live at 12:45 and 17:45 weekdays - or listen back here. Sophie Habboo joins husband Jamie Laing as Radio 1 co-host
