BBC Radio 1 airing live from Belfast with NI host Dean McCullough

BBC Radio 1 has landed in Belfast and will be airing their weekday afternoon show live from Northern Ireland this week.

Hosts Dean McCullough, who is originally from Newtownabbey, and Vicky Hawkesworth will be bringing music and fun to the airwaves from the heart of the Titanic Quarter.

Going live from their Radio 1 pop-up van, the pair have kicked off their 'Mega Massive Mondays' show at 1pm and will be playing playlist roulette with Charlie Tee and Gemma Bradley.

Taking to social media earlier today, Dean said it was a "privilege" to bring his radio show home to Nothern Ireland.

He said: "Good morning from a very windy and chilly Titanic Quarter in Belfast, Northern Ireland.

"We are going to do our show on Radio 1 today from 1pm from that wee truck and this is the most surreal thing I've ever done.

"The fact that Radio 1 is in Belfast is just insane and it's going to be a privilege and lots and lots of fun - loads of cool things planned.

"So come and join us for the criac."

You can catch Dean and Vicky's weekday afternoon show on BBC Radio 1 or BBC Sounds
