Yasmin Evans to join 1Xtra Breakfast Show

BBC Radio 1Xtra DJ Yasmin Evans will join Twin B for the weekday breakfast show from July.

Twin B has been the host of the 1Xtra Breakfast Show since January 2011 but this summer will be joined by Manchester-born Yasmin, who currently presents the weekend breakfast show on the station. The BBC are expected to announce her replacement in that slot soon.

Yasmin says she is “excited” to be joining the weekday breakfast team. The 22-year-old is seen as a rising talent on 1Xtra by bosses. Twin B has become a popular DJ on the sister station to BBC Radio 1 which he joined back in 2004.

“I’ve loved every minute of being the Weekend Breakfast Show host – so to be asked to do it five days a week with Twin is amazing. I just hope he doesn’t mind sharing his cereal in the morning.” – Yasmin Evans

Twin B added “Yasmin is a diamond and, like me, she is a massive music lover. We’re gonna have sooo much fun in the morning its unreal… you have to join us.”

Monday 1st July will be the day when Yasmin joins Twin B and the team on the 1Xtra Breakfast Show.
