How long chris moyles

However, he wasn't alone - with a gang that also comprised producers Aled and Pippa, newsreaders Dom and Tina, and of course his on-air sidekick 'Comedy Dave' Vitty. While some of the gang followed him when he made the move to indie music station Radio X, others struck out on their own.

And, as we prove below, some of them have recently had some big news in their careers and personal lives. Just how many of this lot do you remember? Radio star Chris has recently been in the headlines no end for his remarkable 5st weight loss since quitting Radio 1, where he was the station's self-proclaimed "saviour". Appropriately given the nickname, the year-old presenter appeared in Jesus Christ Superstar before surprising everyone by taking the breakfast show at Radio X.

The station, owned by a company run by his former flatmate Ashley Tabor, was some way down the listenership table to the BBC giant, but has found a wider audience since he arrived.

Dave and Chris have long been rumoured to have fallen out, with the pair said to have held separate leaving parties when they left Radio 1. Throughout, you could watch as well as listen; either on the web or via the red button on your telly. Endearingly, she kept her socks and Converse on. Would as many have watched a TV marathon? I'm not sure: telly, by its nature, is visually produced, whereas the joy of watching Moyles and Vitty was how scrappy everything looked. The studio crammed with hangers-on, the bits of paper being passed around, the thousand-yard stare that both presenters developed at around 1am on Thursday.

At no point did I ever see Moyles sitting down. There is something about staying up all night that moves your mind into a different zone, another, stranger, world.

And it was clear that Chris and Dave were encamped there from late Wednesday onwards. Dave wondered if the weatherman would mention locusts; Chris thought that they were getting so much money because Duncan Bannatyne's phone was bouncing down some stairs. They managed to persuade Greg James to take his clothes off. Things got funnier, more direct.

The pair are allowed a five-minute break every hour and have been taking showers to refresh themselves as well as the occasional brief power nap.

Perks of the show have so far included the duo receiving a buttock massage from a physiotherapist, and fellow DJ Greg James stripping down to encourage more donations.
