- By DEBORAH HALL

A POPULAR presenting duo on Hits Radio in East Yorkshire have formally announced their upcoming departure from the station.

Alex Duffy and Nicola Lashley have hosted the weekday breakfast show Alex and Nicola in the Morning for several years. Their final show is scheduled to be broadcast on Friday, June 6, they announced last week.

They followed the news with a farewell message posted to the pair's social media accounts. Alex told listeners he had been doing the show for ten years and had “loved every second of it.”

An emotional-sounding Nicola, who has had three years presenting the show, said she had “never been welcomed so much as I have here” and Alex asked if she was okay. He said: “It's been one of those secrets you have to hold for reasons and to be able to tell you now is ... it’s nice to have that off us.”
