After eight long years, Chris Moyles’ reign as the king of breakfast radio came to an end this morning – to the sadness of some and also to the joy of many. In an emotional last show the DJ received thousands of thank you text messages from fans and received an outpouring of support from celebrities as well. In his closing statement to listeners Moyles, in return, gave thanks to the great British public and also gave some words of advice to Nick Grimshaw – his replacement. He said: “He [Grimmy] might get a tough reaction at the start but hopefully the listeners will give him time.” "Nick, it's the best job in the world and there's a lot of grief and a lot of prep that comes with it but it's worth it. “He might get a tough reaction at the start but hopefully the listeners will give him time. "Thanks to the team who have been great, I genuinely love them. The listeners are more than just people who just listen to a show. "My voice is going but I'm genuinely so excited and happy to have got here without being frog marched out of the building. "I thought I would be fired and dragged out by my hair. It's wicked. We're a tough act to follow. "Thanks for listening, thanks for supporting us. And without sounding ridiculously cheesy thanking you for making all of our dreams come." He then quipped: “Genuinely, thank you for paying our wages for all these years. That's it then, goodbye Great Britain.” And after bidding his farewell Chris braced the press outside of Radio One who he managed to give a smile and wave to, which makes a welcome change from the usually dour expression he has on his chops.
