Robert Bruce to co-host with Shayna Marie on Capital XTRA Breakfast Show

Robert Bruce is joining Shayna Marie Birch-Campbell to co-host the Capital XTRA Breakfast Show from this Monday, 8 August.

This comes as Yinka Bokinni leaves the station after six years, with three spent hosting its Breakfast Show alongside Shayna Marie, to focus on her TV projects.

Robert Bruce has hosted on Capital XTRA since 2017 and recently won Radio Show of the Year at the Music Week Awards 2022 in recognition of his role in the break-through of some UK talent in hip-hop and RnB.

Shayna Marie has hosted Capital XTRA Breakfast since September 2019, as well as hosting her own Friday night show.

Capital XTRA Managing Editor Matt Deverson said: “We’re delighted that Robert Bruce is stepping in to join Shayna Marie on the Capital XTRA Breakfast Show. Both Robert and Shayna are hugely popular with our listeners and they’ll be waking up the nation with the biggest hip-hop and RnB tunes each week day.

“We’d like to thank Yinka for her brilliant contribution to Capital XTRA over the past six years, and we wish her every success with her TV projects.”

Jay London will host the Capital XTRA Evening Show for August until a new host is announced.
