Ben Cooper has booted him out.

I never listened to him but he worked on Radio1 pretty much my whole life. I think its sad he didn't get to leave on his own accord after all those years.

Never been a fan of his but it is unfortunate that another DJ of a certain age has been pensioned off.
Westwood won't struggle for work. I should imagine Kiss FM will snap him up.

I was going to say just Scott Mills left now but I forgot about Annie Nightingale. They'll have a tough time getting her out considering she's been on Radio 1 for 43 years.

As Buffoon-esque as Westwood came across, it's worth noting that he was a huge pioneer for hip hop music in the UK and is pretty well respected in the hip hop community.

R.I.P. Clumsy Westwood.

Oh, god bless Annie Nightingale. My old flatmate Lynn used to produce her show. Annie used to DJ at The End club in London (this is a good few years ago now), ah, the good old days of Lynn and I crashing into our flat just as Rach was getting up to work on Moyles' weekend show.
