Jimmy Smith Departs 2DAY FM Breakfast

Sydney radio host Jimmy Smith has quit his 2DayFM role to prioritise his mental health. He was a part of the Jimmy & Nath with Emma Breakfast Show.

He confirmed the decision in a statement, admitting his departure was not an easy choice.

“This has been one of the most difficult decisions I’ve ever had to make. Taking this week off made me realise just how much I’ve been struggling with my mental health. I’m not okay right now, and I need to step back and focus on getting well.

Working with Nath, Emma and the entire team has meant so much to me. I’m incredibly proud of what we’ve built together, and I wish them nothing but success.”

Nath and Emma will continue to host 2DayFM Breakfast for the remainder of 2025.
