Chris Moyles is set to make a return to radio, with a new breakfast show on Xfm, according to reports.
The DJ left Radio 1 back in 2012, and his replacement Nick Grimshaw hasn’t exactly been a huge hit with listeners.

Chris Moyles
Now, The Sun reports that Chris will be making a comeback on commercial station Xfm, which is owned by Global Radio, after signing a new deal earlier this week.
“He was enjoying not having all of the usual pressures and early starts that come with breakfast radio so bosses were well aware that they had to offer him a great deal to entice him back.
“He plans to spend the next two months developing ideas for the new show and how he wants the format to be.
“Chris will also take a networking trip to LA.”

Nick’s got a busy year ahead, and next week, he’ll take a seat on the ‘X Factor’ panel, alongside Rita Ora, Simon Cowell and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini.
