Yasmin currently presents weekend breakfast having joined the station in September 2012

She’s happy with the move to weekdays: “I’m super excited to be joining the weekday Breakfast team and to be a part of what they have created. I’ve loved every minute of being the Weekend Breakfast Show host – so to be asked to do it 5 days a week with Twin is amazing. I just hope he doesn’t mind sharing his cereal in the morning.”

They have a natural chemistry and passion for the music that will be a great start to the 1Xtra day.”
