Seb, however, is most definitely appearing on the Radio 1 schedule himself throughout April.
The 24-year-old from Keynsham has been announced as one of five new presenters who will take over the Friday early breakfast slot as part of a monthly rotation.
He currently presents the drivetime show on Somer Valley FM, the local radio station for North East Somerset based in Midsomer Norton, and hosted Radio 1 Anthems on New Year’s Eve 2021.

“I’m still getting over being asked to cover on Radio 1 over Christmas, let-alone be asked back to guide you through Early Breakfast later this year,” Seb said.
“All I can say is thank you to the bosses for letting me back through the doors of Radio 1 and ask you to come hang out with me on-air.”
Seb joins Elliot Darby, Matty Chiabi, Nat O’Leary and Alice Dale among the next wave of presenters set to host Friday’s early breakfast show, which launched in January 2021 as a means to showcase new and emerging presenting talent.
Head of Radio 1, Aled Haydn Jones, added: “The Friday morning shows have proved a huge success since launching in January 2021 in showcasing the next generation of new and emerging presenting talent.
“I’m extremely excited to see what they each do with their shows and how they take on this opportunity hosting on a platform of this scale.”
