George Shelley has been reportedly axed from Capital FM's "The Capital Breakfast Show" after bosses felt he wasn't prepared to take over from main presenter Dave Berry.
The former Union J singer has presented the early morning show on the UK radio station alongside Berry and Lilah Parsons since 2016, but has now been dropped, reported Contactmusic.
Sources says the Capital FM bosses "weren't prepared" to let the 23-year-old musician front the show, but he is still a member of the Capital team and is set to be placed at a different time slot.
"George has done a great job but bosses weren't prepared to put him in charge of the station's flagship show. It doesn't mean his radio career is over though. He and Lilah are in talks to work elsewhere at the network, although nothing has been confirmed," a source says.
The show will now be fronted by stand-in presenters for the next few weeks until the new host is announced.
