Radio host Rev Richard Coles has spoken of his disappointment at having to leave his weekend Radio 4 show because it is being relocated to Cardiff. Saturday Live is moving to the Welsh capital from next week and the co-host has decided to leave after 12 years on the show.
The show on Saturday, March 25, will be the former Strictly Come Dancing contestant's last, and he has questioned why the BBC is making the move. In an interview with The Guardian he said: "I’d have preferred the programme to stay in London. I think it would be better. I was happy doing it and I think it’s gone from strength to strength. Moving it to Cardiff, I don’t really see how that works, but that’s not my decision – that’s other people’s decision.
“I think the programme was doing really well, actually. We (he and co-host Nikki Bedi) were both enjoying doing it and it’s a shame it can’t continue in the form it’s been in for a long time, which works, and which pleases listeners."
