On August 2, 2023, it was revealed that Arielle had been temporarily replaced on Radio 1.

She was suspended after being pulled off air and told to "have some respect" during a chaotic broadcast in Ibiza.

It comes after an incident occurred live on air with Charlie Hedges.

Arielle joined Radio 1's Dance Anthem host Charlie on her show as a guest on July 29, 2023, and she decided to tell her what she thought of her show.

She said: “Can I be honest with you Charlie?... I expected better of you... I don't like this song."

"Oh really?," Charlie replied. Arielle continued: "I hate it!"

Charlie butted in, saying in reply: “Sorry I’m taking your mic down, it’s my show Arielle, have some respect please.

"See you later. Get out of here.”

A spokesperson for Radio 1 said: “Whilst we would not comment on individual matters, we have strict codes of behaviour for staff and presenters, and any breaches are taken extremely seriously.”
