Louise 'perplexed' that Collins left Radio 1 for similar time slot on Gold

- SANDRA MALLON

BROADCASTER Louise Duffy said she was baffled when her predecessor Ronan Collins left his Radio 1 show to host one on RTE Gold.

The presenter took over from Collins earlier this year.

But she admitted she was "perplexed" when he announced he would host Daytime Gold, on RTE Gold, 10-1pm. Monday to Friday.

She said: "It was an unusual decision.

He had always planned to do a little more, but it was more that we're now on at the same time. But they are very different shows and very different platforms, like radio, a digital platform.
