This is what I danced with in front of 1500 people at Lincoln Uni the other night. No shame.

It was an absolute pleasure to be the first guest in the new series of Zane's 'versus' last night. It was me vs. him for an hour. Some of our favourite records of all time and a couple of brand new tracks too.

A Tinie Tempah world exclusive for example. It's right good. His new track 'Wonderman' is featured.

Greetings lovely people! 

It's been 3 years since I started at Radio 1. It has gone incredibly quickly and I just wanted to get a little emo and just say thanks for sticking around. Whether you've been there from day 1 on earlies, or a new person since I started in the afternoons. It's been an amazing few years. 

Hope you're all OK. I LOVE this time of year - the seasons are changing and its the start to the run up of my favourite time of year - Christmas.

It's been a busy few weeks. Been out of my flat for a couple of weeks due to my bathroom being done, so been living out of a suitcase for a bit. Moving back today which is nice.

I was off the show on Tuesday as I was hob-nobbing presenting some stuff down at London Fashion Week. This is a photo I never thought would happen:

Is it bad that I've never even watched Sex and The City?

A lot of Freshers gigs coming up too in the next few weeks which I can't wait for. Visiting about 20 different Unis between now and Christmas, including UEA (where I went) next weekend to do their Freshers' Bash. Cannotwait.com

Here is a memory of University for me. First day of living without the parents:

Useless.

I'll be returning to my old student radio station, Livewire, too next weekend to do a little interview. Here I am on the day I left in 2007. Emotional.

This is what happened at Bestival on Saturday. I was invited on stage to dance during Ellie's set. Also, notice that the guy in the musketeer outfit is infact Ben from Mumford and Sons. He stooped to my level. Quite special, I think you'd agree.

Good afternoon lovely people.

I'd like you to use me as your agony aunt today. Anything you want to confess to, I'm your boy. I'll reply on this blog to any gooduns.

Here's mine: I still haven't paid my council tax. (Paying it after the show today)

You can confess all to me. Come on, let it all out.

Just leave your comments underneath.

NB: Remember, this is a public blog and anyone can read your confessions. Here's a link to The Surgery page if you need any real advice with your problems: https://www.bbc.co.uk/radio1/advice

Apologies...

I feel like I've neglected you a bit recently.

Don't hate me. As a special treat (because I know people like this weird stuff) here are a few photos from my phone I meant to show you ages ago:

This chap from some TV show I was watching the other day made me chuckle:

Creepy Drinker
Mumford and Sons at Reading:
Enjoying a little creme brulee en France last week. Tres bon innit.
Annnnnd finally, Nitro Nige, my plumber. He's doing my bathroom as I type:

An amazing new SatNav voice!

Oh my, oh my...The legendary Hugo Duncan from BBC Radio Ulster has now turned his hand to route guidance...

I absolutely love this man. He is the voice of Northern Ireland and you can have him for your car!
