Charlie, 37, cut off her microphone, told her to "have some respect" and "get out" of her DJ area.It has now been confirmed by reports in the Mirror that Arielle will be replaced this week only by Sian Eleri, missing out on her usual Monday to Wednesday two-hour slot and will return to the hot seat next week.According to Radio 1's official website, Arielle is due to host her Radio 1 Relax show, during her usual slot on August 7.
