Arielle Free has been replaced on her BBC radio show after being taken off the air live.
The Radio 1 DJ was suspended from her Dance Anthems Ibiza show on Saturday (July 29) after having an on-air spat with pal Charlie Hedges.
Free, 36, will not present her Radio 1 Future Artists for the next week as a result, and has been replaced by Sian Eleri.

The Scotswoman was pulled from the airwaves when she appeared on Hedges' show on Saturday slurring her speech with a croaky voice, leading many to believe she was drunk.
She joined the show as Charlie was playing HorsegiirL's My Barn, My Rules, but quickly made it known she was not a fan of the track.
"I expected better from you," she said to Hedges, who was playing a set live from the Ibiza Rocks hotel. "I don't like this song, I hate this song."
After continuing to hammer in her disdain for Charlie's song choices, the DJ resorted to turning Arielle's mic down.
"I'm turning your mic down, you need to have some respect," Hedges said, audibly frustrated.
She later told Arielle to "get out" after refusing to leave the studio. The spat lasted just 45 seconds.
Arielle will miss her usual slot every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, where Eleri will fill in from 8pm to 10pm.
The official website says that Free is due to return to the airwaves with her Radio 1 Relax show next Monday (August 7).
A spokesperson from BBC 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."
Listeners that heard the argument as it happened took to social media to voice their embarrassment, with some branding the incident "cringe".
