Collins and Herring air details of their breakup

Collings and Herring
Andrew Collins: 'I hope we will be sunny and equal and silly again.'

Like a modern day media Kramer vs Kramer, former BBC 6 Music Saturday morning co-presenters Andrew Collins and Richard Herring have been airing a wee bit of dirty laundry about their breakup on their respective blogs. Herring kicked things off on Tuesday, revealing that they were taking a break from their Collings and Herrin (sic) podcast (which helped get them the 6 Music Saturday gig when Adam Buxton and Joe Cornish were resting their DJ bits for the 12 months to early April). Herring said this was "partly due to us both being overworked, but also because of some personal issues", which he admits is partly "down to me being slightly offended by something he has done". Over to you, Andrew. In a blogpost titled "The break-up" on Wednesday, Collins says "Richard is cross that I have agreed to do a show on 6 Music without him, and with someone else" – Andrew Collins and Josie Long start in the 10am Saturday 6 Music slot this coming weekend. However, both parties appear willing to kiss and make up – eventually. "I am sure we will make up, or at least pretend to still like each other for the sake of you, our children," says Richard. "I think, like a married couple, we will weather the break, and in fact, the break will do us good … I hope we will be sunny and equal and silly again," adds Andrew. Aw, bless.
