Edith Bowman has claimed she was 'edged out' of Radio 1 prior to her axing and felt 'incredibly let down' by station bosses.
Speaking to Psychologies magazine, the Scottish radio host detailed how in 2009 she was moved from her Radio 1 afternoon slot to Weekend Breakfast.

She said she believes bosses saw the move as a demotion, but it ended up being exactly what she had been looking for. Edith said she was then able to leave the station "on a high".
