Last night the team all headed off down to The NME Awards in London, where they were nominated for Best Radio Show. It won’t come as a huge surprise to you that they didn’t win - and it’ll come as even less of a surprise that the award went to Zane Lowe. Chris branded Zane a rubbish Kiwi “who’s only here on a trial visa”, saying that no-one listens to his show anyway as everyones watching EastEnders. Chris had actually found out earlier in the evening that Zane had won the award, probably told by his mate Vernon Kay who was hosting the event. Chris then proceeded to bet Zane a tenner that he’d win, meaning he ended the evening ten pounds better off. Zane went straight off to do his show after collecting his award, leaving a spare chair at their table. That left Aled wondering this morning why he had to spend the rest of the evening sharing a chair with Jo’s producer Piers Bradford. Dave said it was cos Steve Lamacq had nicked his chair earlier on so he took Aled’s instead. Aled had a good time nevertheless and was apparently up disco dancing to Queens Of The Stone Age and The Kings Of Leon, something he thinks will catch on eventually. Before and after the awards the team went to a pub in Hammersmith, West London. Chris’s mate Alan James (a regular at the NME’s) told him beforehand not to worry about the booing when his name is read out, as it happens every year. This got Chris feeling slightly uneasy but it turned out that this time there was no booing whatsoever. It’ll probably be a different story if Chris goes up to present the award for Best Breakthrough Artist at the Brits next week though. The team made up for the lack of an award last night with plenty of drink, resulting in Chris joking this mornings show was on tape. There was even time for a karaoke session in the boozer, where Chris sang Mack The Knife, Producer Rachel and Niki from the 3am girls sang Hopelessly Devoted To You - and Rach even had time for a duet with a plastered Comedy Dave on I’ve Had The Time Of My Life by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes. Dave missed a line half way through though which resulted in Rach singing all the male parts and him singing the female parts. Dave even surprised himself with the willingness he showed to join in, cos in his own words “I’m not a big exhibitionist”. This link caused Aled to say there should be a regular karaoke slot on the show. Chris said it just wouldn’t work and instead offered the teams karaoke services to any UK pub that wanted to make an offer. There were invites from ale houses in Yeovil, Preston, Farnborough and Darlington among many - although Chris didn’t think they could make it tomorrow night with it being Valentines Day. As per usual when it gets round to Valentines, Christmas and the like, Chris had been sent some supposedly hilarious talking Valentines cards. They included ones featuring Dom Joly from Trigger Happy TV, Wallace from Wallace and Gromit, Miss Piggy, Graham Norton, Elvis Presley, Animal from The Muppets and Ozzy Osbourne. Chris joked the Ozzy one was uncanny. Dave said “It’s unfunny”. Buzz Off today was the excellent Red Morning Light by The Kings Of Leon, who won both Best New Band and Best International Band at the NME’s last night. Aled thought about buzzing straight away for the facial hair alone, but waited until 2 mins 11. Dave buzzed on 2:36 and Rach as the song was ending on 2:52, but less than 2000 texts had come in so it was played in full. Chris actually met two members of the band at the awards last night and had a brief chat with them. Firstly to inform them that every time he switches on FIFA 2004 on the XBox, that song (Red Morning Light) comes on. Secondly, to tell one of the two guys he met that he looks a bit like a pretty girl. Unsurprisingly, the bloke in question was a bit bemused by this comment.
Chris - I said to him, you look like the kind of girl I would have gone out with
Dave - Without the beard though
Chris - Well no, I come from Leeds where it’s mandatory....7:27

Hi this is Wes was covering Early Breakfast for Nemone today and will be doing so all next week, presumably meaning he’ll be in the studio for Monday’s chart chat with Chris and not on the phone. Nemone is not on next week cos she’s sitting in for Jo Whiley, while Scott Mills is also covering for Mark and Lard. Next week is half term week so Radcliffe, Riley and Whiley are obviously taking a week off to spend time with their kids. Just after finishing his show Wes came into the studio to talk to Chris about his neighbour troubles, although he didn’t want to discuss them on the air. Once Chris had mentioned it though he reluctantly explained the situation. It turns out the people who live in the flat above Wes just disturb him all the time with their wooden floors and constantly re-arranged furniture. Chris said it is just typical of London - take a nice house and turn it into 27 flats with wafer thin walls. Even Moyles in his Brixton maisonette has recently been subjected to 8am Saturday wake ups, due to the fact that Chris’s neighbours are having some plumbing work done. Chris had the perfect solution for Wes as it worked for him, just scream expletives at the top of your voice and they soon stop. Despite the fact there was no Weightwatchers update this week, Rachel is still on her diet. However, after two boxes of Krispy Krem Donuts were delivered after 9:30 she couldn’t help herself. Chris spotted her being fed by Aled, stopped the record and went over to her. He said she had gone down in his estimation and was a bad girl. She decided to eat the donut in her mouth when Chris went over to her, despite his pleas for her to spit not swallow...good mornin. After earlier tales of his NME dancing, Aled was getting his groove on to his favourite song of the moment today - Toxic by Britney. Chris genuinely does like it (despite what he says below) although Rachel was originally saying off air she doesn’t.
Rachel - I just said I’m not loving it as much as Aled but it’s growing on me. I do like it...
Chris - Look, don’t worry about it
Dave - If you think it say it
Chris - Don’t just say you like the Britney Spears record just to please the bosses. Stuff that brown nose rubbish, just have your own opinion
Dave - Yeah
Chris - Anyway I’m with Aled, I think it’s absolutely brilliant
(Aled laughs)


RICHARD BACON AND TESS DALY LIVE IN THE STUDIO:
Richard and Tess were todays guests (and very good ones) in the studio between 7:30 and 8:30 to talk about their new show on five called Back To Reality, amongst other things. Richard was feeling a little left out as he was the only one not at last nights NME’s. The awards are on Channel 4 this Wednesday night/Thursday morning at ten past midnight and before that on MTV2 at 9pm this Sunday (Full winners can be found here). Tess is of course married to Vernon who was the host last night, so was also there. Chris said Vernon did a good job as the NME crowd is a tough crowd to please. Tess said there were a few hecklers who’d had a few too many free bevvies but Vern soon put them in their place. Chris thought he was a good host and said to Bacon “You’d have died on your arse Rich”. Rich said he was expecting a bit of abuse from Moyles as he used to get it all the time when they were really good mates. They haven’t seen each other now for over a year and a half (despite sharing the same agent) and Rich said he misses Chris’s company. They haven’t been out for so long because Rich keeps changing his number according to Chris, and the fact (also according to Chris) that he is “so stuck up his own arse in showbiz land”. Chris told a couple of classic Richard stories from when they were really good mates. They included the time when Rich bought a hooky £40 watch from the back of a car, his excuse being the driver told him they were spares from a watch convention he’d just been to. Another story was the time Rich bought a packet of polo mints to try and cover the stench of alcohol in his breath after a meal, a few pints and a special souffle dessert with whisky in it.

Rich and Tess’s new show Back To Reality features a line up including that freak Ricardo from The Salon, Lizzie the benefits cheat from Wifeswap and Sarah Kozer, star of Playboy, Joe Millionaire and to quote Chris’s terminology, “specialist videos”. The full contestant list is in yesterdays review. The show starts on Sunday night at 8pm on five (more - http://www.five.tv/programmes/backtoreality/).
Chris - I used to work there. I used to have my own show on Channel 5
Richard - Did you have a good time?
Chris - Don’t you even talk to me about it. This is how loyal Richard Bacon is (Bacon protests in background), I get bumped off my own TV show, somebody else gets the job instead of me (Christian O’Connell) and when he goes off, Richard filled in!!!
Richard - I had quite a nice time
Chris - God, it’s like going out with an ex

During a news break, Chris said he knew she was his mates wife but Tess Daly was looking so fit this morning. Dave agreed and Chris and Dominic did the “What would you give her out of ten?” “I’d give her one” gag. Tess seemed to have a bit of a soft spot for Dave, saying she loved him at the end of the interview and trying to get him involved more in the chat. Chris said Dave was still a bit delicate after last night, despite Daves claims he was feeling perky. Chris messed about more with the Peter Andre Insania ringtones and told Richard that the line “Good Morning Carpark fans” in Carpark Catchphrase was a tribute to Bacon’s line of “Good Morning Breakfast Television Fans”, used on the day Chris co-presented The Big Breakfast with him. Tess said Rich really is Alan Partridge, which he denied...in an Alan Partridge voice funnily enough. I actually think Bacon would be quite a good signing if Radio 1 could get him. He hosts a Friday Drive show on XFM in London and also fills in on Late Night Live on Five Live sometimes (EDIT - He has now been signed up permanently by 5 Live).

(All the weeks shows are available to Listen Again to by following the links from Chris’s mini-site at Radio 1 Online. Chris plugged this to death today and said the reason being was the fact that the show is still second behind The Archers on the most listened to shows list on The BBC Radio Player. Chris urged people to listen to him at any point of the day, 24 hours a day - as he put it “My ideal radio station”).

NEXT WEEKS GUEST NEWS
At long last Peter Andre will be live in the studio on Friday morning, to plug the re-release of Mysterious Girl the following Monday. Also, Chris’s 30th birthday is next Sunday (22nd Feb) so either this Friday or next Monday will be his birthday show, with lots of big showbiz guests (Jon Culshaw) guaranteed.
