Radio 1's Arielle Free has been suspended from the radio station following an on-air spat with colleague Charlie Hedges. Arielle, 36, who has worked at the station since 2019, joined Charlie, 37, on her Dance Anthems Ibiza show on Saturday, which was broadcast live from the Spanish island.
Following a brief introduction Arielle hit out at Charlie's choice in music, telling her: "Can I be honest with you Charlie?...

Following this Charlie shut down Arielle's comments, telling her: "Sorry I’m taking your mic down, it’s my show Arielle, have some respect please." Following this, a spokesperson for Radio 1 released a statement, which read: "Whilst we would not comment on individual matters, we have strict codes of behaviour for staff and presenters, and any breaches are taken extremely seriously."
