“Time for some new adventures. Last show is 25 August and we’re going out with a BANG! More info coming soon! For now, Radio WM – thanks for the memories,” which she signed off with a kiss.
It didn’t take long before her famous friends and adoring fans showered her with congratulatory messages online. One user penned: “In the same 5 years I’ve had, I’ve watched you achieve so many amazing things there has never been anyone like you Elise & there will never be.”

A third chimed in with: “I checked with @DonnaAlosRadio and neither of us have received a request to allow this, so unfortunately it’s been denied. Seriously tho… you’ve aced the last 5 years and the West Mids is richer because of it.
“You’ll leave a big hole at WM but you’ll smash whatever’s next!” The 34-year-old’s exit comes after ticking an item off her broadcasting bucket list. In July, she informed her followers how star-struck she was to interview the final member of Busted.
She told her fans: “ This morning I complete the trilogy! The final member of @Busted ticked off the list. @JamesBourne joins me on @bbcwm & @BBCWR from 10.30! Speaking to my fave band in the world… It will never EVER get old.”
