ITV's weekend morning chart show CD:UK, previously presented by Cat Deeley, is to feature three new presenters when it re-appears on September 4th.

Xfm's Lauren Laverne (pictured), former reality TV show star turned jaded pop idol Myleen Klass and some fella called Jonny P (us neither) will introduce kids young and old alike to what's hot and what's, um, damp in the charts that week.

The hosts have been selected for their extensive and varied music backgrounds, according to the show's executive producer Conor McAnally. Expect performances from the exciting new talents of Coldplay and Liberty X on the 4th.

Can Lauren Laverne sell her scrawny ass down the river any further?

johhny p may be a shallow disgusting attempt at a new john p, but i doubt cd:uk would stoop that low.

I thought that dumb-as-fuck geordie tosser from big brother was meant to be doing it.

Re: CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some other guy

nah, he made a complete arse of it last week. Completely fucked up a link about Elbow (sorry can't be nothered to formulate a crap joke about arses and elbows) just before a break, but at least the producer had the sense to show him doubled up in embarressment crying "ahh no" as they panned over the audience...

As for Laverne, hell, she's been on every other tv music show, so why not give cd:uk a shot. I'm sure her brief recording career ended before most of the audience were born.

Re: CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some other guy

damn it, should say "bothered".

I really do not like professional Geordie Lavern - she's the Jim Rosenthal of music really - a total journeyman with a face of a washed tramp

Shoot me for knowing this but I think the Jonny P guy was on that channel four reality show, that placed some none too charismatic types in the jungle for a few weeks. I think it was called Eden.

I don't care for knowing but I think he's on the Trouble channel?

I love My Wife & Kids... anyway, Laverne annoys me just as Fearne Cotton does

*shudder*

Klass and Laverne - an odd combination. Thank God I don't have a TV

Lauren Laverne made me laugh once on Xfm. She played a Jimmy Eat World song then said "Jimmy Eat World, world taste good."

I guess you had to be there.

Re: CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some other guy

what, for the sound of tumble weed blowing by and church bells lolling (no, not the excruciating internet type "lol") in the background?

CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some othe

I like that Klass, on her first show, has to introduce the losers of the reality show she won. How d'you like them apples?

'and some fella called Jonny P (us neither)'

Haha, I like humour like that. If he read it, he'd probably be upset. He deserves it for having an initial as a last name, though.

Oh i do love Lauren Laverne. I remember when she said that her favourite post punk band was the Clash. Its nice to know they pick such knowledgeable presenters.

CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some other guy

I like Lauren Laverne, I liked her band who's name I always have difficulty spelling and I like her radio show. She's (I think) intentionally wooden in a kind of ironic way, which might annoy some people, but I like it.

Re: CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some other guy

I thought Laverne sold out when she started appearing on crap tv shows doing lowly interviews with z-listers. The news that she is moving to cd.uk is not good.

I dont think anyone plays their Kenickie albums anymore either do they?

Re: CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some

I do. Dust off your 'At The Club'. It's still absolutely fantastic.

Re: CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some

Played At The Club this afternoon. Shocking. Absolutely shocking album.

Re: CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some

flackcaptain

Music taste: Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Mono, GYBE, Silver Mt Zion, Giardini di Miro, Quickspace, Slint etc

Ah. I see.

Hey leave Laverne alone. We all have bills to pay so why shouldn't she do CD:UK?

At least she'll bring some talent and humour to the show, which has died on it's arse since the Geordie oompa-loompas left. Klass can kiss my ass.

I play Kenickie now and again. In fact, I'll do it now just to spite you you all!! ;)


Re: CD:UK's new recruits: Klass, Laverne and some other guy

Abso-drinkin'-lutely. Love Kenickie and their Friday night hijinks. Glad Lauren's still got a career, she's the only reason for listening to XFM. It's odd, I hated Jo Whiley for moving from Evening Session to chart whatever lunch time slot - mind you, she was always a secret chartster. I imagine Lauren knows it's shite and will raise an eyebrow accordingly, like that guy who used to interview Westlife types and goad them into being homophobic.

kenickie=shit/bunch of geeky chancers .....artwork,lyrics, image and musicianship all sub-mediocre and NOT the real deal. Lauren Laverne is a freckly ex-ginger haired hamster faced geordie scruff who has nothing natural about her personality or intelligence. people like her shouldn't be on tv because either no one a) knows who she is or b) likes her. Klass on the other hand seems quite likeable and seems like she's got something more brain-like between her ears and can proliferate something other than just meaningless vic reeves style irreverant garble all the time. together we can BRING DOWN THE TV FRAUDS!!!!!
