Instead of localised breakfast output, all Hits Radio branded stations will have one central programme hosted by Fleur East and Big Brother host Will Best.
In the on-air moment, JD was left struggling to find the words as he began the announcement that they had been given the boot.
He said: “After 20 years of broadcasting round here, our show, it is coming to an end.
“We just wanna thank you because we’ve loved being part of your morning routine and can’t thank you enough for letting us into your lives.”
Roisin then added: “From my point of view, I think I’ve had three children – they’re 13, nine and five – and I’ve been here waking you up every morning but now I’m going to be at home waking them up!”
JD then became emotional as his voice appeared to crack as he recounted the various changes the duo had gone through during their time at Hits Radio including various romantic partners, difficult days and children.
They then confirmed that June 6 would be their final show on air before the breakfast programme is pulled for good.
JD then paid tribute to his co-star as he thanked her and called her the “beating heart” of the show.
He then added on the verge of tears: “It’s been an absolute pleasure and I never knew I’d last this long in this industry.
“Thank you so much.”
Breakfast shows across the country have been axed in favour of one regional output across the Hits network.
Responding to the emotional moment, shared to the station’s X account, one fan said: “You have a proud legacy and your next chapter will be even more awesome! Well done!”
As another added: “Very sad to see this. I take it they want to cull local radio and save costs.”
A third then wrote: “Absolutely gutted. Mornings just won’t be the same again.
“Thanks guys for the many laughs along the way. Good luck with whatever next xxx.”
As a fourth supportively said to JD: “No one can take away the person you are. Your fans support you.”
