Who was the woman who used to do R1 very early in the morning. I am not sure if she was on just before Scott's show or if Scott actually replaced her. I seem to think she was on around 3am. (either staring to finishing)

She had a very sexy voice and used to do "Would you rather" every day. The 12 duck sized horses on Chris Moyles last week reminded me of her and she used that on her show all that time ago.

I remember listening to her, it could be her.

Thanks for that. I will try and find some audio of her.


There was also an "Emma B" Who centuries ago did the Sunday surgery

According to wiki:

Emma B joined BBC Radio 1 in April 1998, firstly presenting an Early Saturday morning show from 4–7am. In 1999, she took over the Saturday afternoon show from 1–3pm alongside Sara Cox and the Sunday night/Monday morning overnight slot from 1–4am. In addition to that, in January 2000, she co-presented the Sunday Surgery show, alongside Dr. Mark Hamilton every Sunday evening from 9–11pm. In September 2001, Emma took over Saturday Breakfast from 7–10am as well as the Sunday Surgery show. She continued with Saturday Breakfast until late 2003.

I wouldn't have thought Nemone was 10 years ago. Before Nemone there were two people, Sarah HB (who was awful) and Vicky Marsden, who was really good (very underrated) but is sadly now dead. Or as others have said, Emma B who I also liked.

Thanks for all the replies.

Based on the names suggested and the youtube clip of Nemone (With my eyes closed I remembered her voice well, but it wasn't her) I think it must have been Vicky Marsden. The name has a better ring to it.

Apparently she left R1 in 2004 which works well with the times I think I used to listen and she was on 2-4am before Scott which also matches with my memories.

It is sad to hear that she died :(
