Just watched the new
@blackmirror
feat.
@MileyCyrus
and its REALLY good. Love the way the show takes reality and ONLY JUST tweaks it. Super sinster, Miley is great in it... Now I'm worried about all my fave pop stars. Hope you're OK huns.

! I am one, as is Chewbacca, Bart Simpson and Lady Gaga so we're among some greats... I can't use leftie scissors, have my PC mouse on the left though so I must be an elite kind, right? I can also write properly.
I have landed back in the UK! Now to dig out my Zoom password so I can get the

🚨 SLIGHTLY SCARY ANNOUNCEMENT! 🚨
SO. DEEP BREATH: The time has finally come for me to let you know that this will be my last week on-air with
@wearefreeradio
.
After ~15 years with the Free stations in their various forms, I've decided that it is now time for me to move on.
OK, so I MAY have unfairly pre-judged
@TheBandMusical
and I apologise. It is an incredibly fun, emotional, well observed nostalgia-fest full of
@GaryBarlow
's biggest tunes and if you were ever a teenager who grew up loving a band (especially c1993), then it's a must-see.
Feels very odd being in control of a national radio station from my front bedroom, but here we go!

10-1 today...
11 year old me is SCREAMING.

@OctopusEnergy
who picked up the phone quickly, answered several queries about two separate accounts and didn't even seem flustered or stressed, given the circumstances. NOT AN AD, I'M JUST VERY PLEASED. 🙏🏼🐙
The promo for the BBC services where the Eastenders chap checks the weather app on his phone implies the existence of the BBC *within* Eastenders.
So what's on their BBC One DURING EASTENDERS?!
Just spoke to a chap on the phone who had very broken English who's radio was broken and he'd googled "free radio" in order to find a replacement. I mean... His logic is flawless. Told him to call Curry's and he said he wasn't hungry.
EXCITING NEWS! Today is my first day as permanent fixture on
@magicfm
!
I'm taking over Saturday afternoons 1-4pm. Big shoes to fill, but really excited to get started in the new slot...
#MoreOfTheSongsYouLove
, and me!
Digital everywhere, FM in London and x
OK, I can categorically state that the version of
@WickedUK
we've got
@brumhippodrome
is the best (of 4) I've seen. Glinda is hilarious, Elpheba nails all the big notes, the messages about fake news & false enemies have never been more relevant and OMG THE HATS! (not pictured)
@EmmaB_Radio
I'M NOT SHOUTY OR OUTRAGED, I'M SITTING HERE PLAYING MADONNA SONGS AND EATING CHICKEN. But you know, I came back from a safer place than I arrived into so it doesn't really make much sense...
This is so exciting! We've had a little zhuzh of the
@magicfm
line-up and I'm super chuffed to be part of it...
I'll be your new evening show, Mon-Thurs 7-10pm from 10th Oct.
(I'm on holiday on the first Monday. Classic me!) 🎉

belting out "Beautiful" among flowers with ballet dancers and footage of

athletes smashing it in the background? NO, *YOU'RE* EMOSH AF.
Well
@SpiderManMovie
is a lot of fun. Seems they've worked out how to make a 130 min film that doesn't drag on too! Looking forward to more
@Zendaya
@TomHolland1996
adventures... They've finally fixed Spiderman!
Heinz is set to change the name of its deliciously zingy Salad Cream to Sandwich Cream after 104 years. The name change comes after research revealed that hardly anyone uses it as a salad dressing.
PEOPLE GOING TO MAJOR SHOPPING CENTRES AND MOANING ABOUT OTHER PEOPLE GOING TO THE SAME MAJOR SHOPPING CENTRES AS THEM THOUGH.
Do not make the mistake of clicking on the "Bicester Village" trending topic like I just did.
CORRECTION: I said on air the other day that
@marshmellomusic
performs with a bin on his head. I realise now that it is indeed a massive marshmallow and I've never been more wrong.

Super excited today cos I'm GOING NATIONAL, BABES! Off to That

to cover 4-8pm on
@magicfm
.
Lionel, Cher, ABBA, Madonna, Dolly, Jacko... All the songs you love that I don't usually get to play. Get me on later to help ease your post-roast bloat!
You know when you go on holiday and there's a song that's everywhere and you bring it back with you? Well with
#Familiar
@LiamPayne

@JBALVIN

Just watched
#JingleJangleNetflix
and really enjoyed! V cute feelgood festive movie... Mix of steam-punky Wonka vibes, with Greatest Showman style songs and some brilliant routines and a great cast. Good family cosy night in stuff. 🎄

Fave moment 👇🏽
To put on a stage AND TV show of this scale, during a pandemic, bringing in acts from across a continent AND to do it with added logistics of being a Covid test event is an INSANE achievement and it's been an absolute triumph. Thank you,

Spent most of today sorting the 2nd bedroom/office/studio in the new flat. V chuffed with it... Ready for the first show from it tomorrow night

's Homerun show for the summer they've, for some reason, given it to me permanently! Apols in advance.
We are meant to travel TOMORROW... It is currently not possible to book a single Day 2 PCR test for our return as far as I can see? Already have LFT tests booked as per the current guidance... IDK what to do?! 🙄
Properly installed my new On Air sign during the songs this morning. It's v cosy in my booth now. Ready for another few months (wishful thinking) of WFH... 🎙️
Today marks TWELVE YEARS since I did my first show on what is now
@wearefreeradio
in Birmingham. Am having a 7up from the beer fridge to celebrate somehow lasting that long, and also having been in
#Birmingham
for longer than I've stayed anywhere else, ever! Thanks for having me!
So here it is...
This is one of the proudest moments of my career so far.
An incredibly moving performance in the motion picture for the
