If that was the real reason Chris had the week off, the blatant lying from the rest of the team doesn't sit easily with me. They could easily have said it was for personal reasons rather than making out he was puking his guts up etc. But then Daily Fail says he took a week off at the end of August to get over it, not last week. I can't remember if the team were on holidays then, but think they may have been. If that's the case then he quite possibly was genuinely ill last week, in which case I apologise for casting aspertions!
Wonder who this 'source' is though.

I'm wary of any newspaper 'exclusives'

Chris shares more about his life on air than most, we shouldn't abuse this. If Chris is going through such a difficult time true fans of the show should be more concerned about Chris and how he is at the moment than saying how "lying doesn't sit well". I hope Chris is OK and wish him the very best.When Aled broke up with his bf he was his usual very open and honest/overly sharing self about it on air, when he came back from a couple of days off he explained the whole situation straight away. If it was a different kind of show, which would cover most shows, then I wouldn't expect a presenter to talk about his personal life on air. But with the Chris Moyles Show being the kind of show it is, where all of their personal lives are discussed frequently, I somehow do. That's just my opinion. Obviously I wish Chris all the best too.

Emmy wrote:Fat chance of that happening. Papers are hardly in the business of respecting peoples' privacy. If you're in the public eye then you're fair game, which Chris knows only to well. He clearly knew the story was going to come out, which makes me wonder why he'd chose to pretend to be ill when the real reason behind his absence was going to be revealed soon enough. Whatever happened to the new BBC complete transparency? (joke)Hi. I'm the sanctimonious person you talk of. Yes, this is a forum to talk about Moyles but why do you seem to be taking it so personally? Why do you feel it's your right to know about someones personal life? Whether this story is true or not, frankly it's got sod all to do with you, me or anyone that reads the Daily Mail. It's a radio breakfast show - I'd love for you to explain to me why who Chris is going out with needs to be explained by the BBC.

In relation to the actual story, it seems crazy to me to stay with someone for eight years if you have no intention of marrying them/staying with them forever, for me the cut off point would be more like two years! If this had happened to me I think I'd feel like I'd wasted years of my life. I do feel sorry for Chris, but more sorry for Sophie.
And before any sanctimonious person tells me off for commenting on Chris' personal life, this is a forum to talk about Chris Moyles related topics, both Aled's and Dave's break ups have been discussed here, as have happier issues such as Rachel's and Carrie's weddings and Carrie's baby, so I don't see any reason why we shouldn't pass comment on this story too.
It could be an interesting show on Monday.
