Maya Jama has announced she is leaving BBC Radio 1, a station she has hosted on for two years.
The popular presenter started in 2018 and had a successful show every weekend.
In an Instagram post, Jama said: "My loveess, I've made the very difficult decision not to continue my Radio 1 contract from June.
“As you know I have been juggling & There are a lot of exciting commitments happening that would mean I’m not able to dedicate the time needed to my weekly radio show.
“I’ve loved every moment of my time at Radio 1 and I would like to thank the team for their hard work and friendship during the last two years. It’s been a JOURNEY.”
