What I’ve learnt: Nick Grimshaw

‘“Coming out” is an archaic term. I’ve never had to sit anyone down and tell them’

Radio 1 breakfast show presenter Nick Grimshaw, 31, joined the BBC in 2007 and has hosted his own TV panel show, Sweat the Small Stuff. Last year he joined the X Factor judging panel alongside Simon Cowell, Cheryl Fernandez-Versini and Rita Ora. He grew up in Oldham, Greater Manchester, and now lives in north London. I didn’t expect to fancy Chris Martin. But when I interviewed him [on Radio 1, late last year] he was so charming and charismatic. He left the studio and everyone was in love with him. There was a bit of a Chris Martin panic. “Coming out” is an archaic term. It suggests that you’ve been hidden away. It only really applies to people who have been married or in a heterosexual relationship and then, after 50 years, they’re like, “Oh my god! Guess what? I’m gay!” I’ve never had to sit anyone down and tell them. They’d be like, “We know. You’ve liked Gloria Estefan since you were three.” Being northern doesn’t mean you’re basic. When guests on my show talk about something mundane, they say it in a northern accent. It implies that it’s a simple, northerner’s way of life compared with everyone in London, who is fancy and sophisticated. That said, I do like chips and gravy, a good cuppa, Coronation Street and the Gallagher brothers. Three and a half hours of unscripted live chat every day isn’t as scary as it sounds. I have my parents to thank for that. Last week my dad and I spent ages discussing the nice golf courses of America even though neither of us was going. I don’t like men in flip-flops. On holiday it’s fine, but I don’t need to be looking at your toes on the Tube. Vanity is not sexy. Good bodies and six-packs are only attractive if they’re natural or a result of your career. If you are going to the gym constantly and you’re like, “I don’t eat bread! I can’t eat cheese! Sorry, got a spin class!” it’s not real. All you’ve done is been really uptight for months. It’s much sexier if someone’s just confident about their appearance. Humour is everything. You can look like James Franco but if talking to you is like talking to a piece of paper, I’m not interested. Stardom is so homogenised these days. Reality stars shouldn’t be getting modelling gigs. Why is Kim Kardashian on the cover of Vogue and attending prestigious events? What happened to people like Naomi Campbell, who turned up and everyone was like, “Wow, those eyes! She looks like an alien!”? My dog, Pig, stinks. She is an english bull terrier with an extreme flatulence problem. My biggest luxury is probably all the Diptyque candles I have in my house to mask it. London looks a lot nicer from up north. In the paper and on telly it’s all Buckingham Palace, Beckhams and Bond Street. But it’s not really like that, is it? I’ve got the type of body where, if I train, eat healthily and don’t drink, I look exactly the same as if I just ate pizza and drank beer. I also have hair that grows really thick and makes me look like a 45-year-old woman called Bridget. I thought I had good teeth until I did a shoot for a magazine and two dental companies got in touch with my agent to ask if I wanted them “fixed”. I’m just rolling with what I’ve got. In my head I’m as fun as Kate Moss. But I’m nowhere near. She is so present and of the moment. Those are enviable qualities. I’m constantly worrying about stuff I should be doing. At the moment I’m worrying about where I’m going to buy a mop because there’s no hardware shop near where I live. And I can’t take a mop on the Tube, can I? Nick Grimshaw is appearing at the Big Weekend Exeter, live on BBC Radio 1, online and iPlayer today and tomorrow

i never write about the times i’ve met nick but i feel like this time i need to to show how he really is the sweetest most amazing man i’ve ever met and actually does care about other people besides his “alist pals”. basically my friends & i got to edinburgh for topman24 really early, like 7.30am to pick up our wristbands for the music quiz he was hosting. we got those, went shopping until like 2 then we went back and waited in topman until nick was due to dj at 3.30. he was slightly late and we overheard the staff say it was because he went away to get food (lol bless him) so he arrived in topman about 3.40. i’ve met nick so many times now so i know that he remembers who i am, so as he was walking to the decks and saw me & my friends, he said hello to us on his way (cutie). he started djing and honestly he’s such a good dj, like every song he was playing was so so good. he seemed a bit nervous but the energy in the shop was pretty bad, like it was only really me, my friends and some other girls dancing to the songs. because nick loves his hip hop, he had a lot of hip hop/r&B songs in his set and at one point he said if anyone wanted to mc they could, and then he looked at me and was like “get up here and mc!” and I was like “no chance, do i look like i can mc?”. he was then just being generally cute and was like “if anyone wants to take selfies we can” so cue the ENTIRE shop getting in line for photos. he was taking photos with some other people first and was being chatty and such, and then he got to us and was like “hi, so good to see you all again!” like he completely changed how he was with the others and was treating us like old friends and hugged us all separately like he didn’t do that with anyone else. so then we just had a general catch up and i told him how the jacket from his collection (the black fringed one) was staining my hands and he was like “i know!! we filmed x factor in it and i had to keep washing my hands”. so we chatted a bit, then he was like “let’s do photos!” so he took a selfie with my friend first, then he turned to me and goes “hi babes!” (BABES ASDFGHJKL HNGGGGGG OK) and he grabbed me into a hug and kept hugging me for the photo like he was holding me so so tight and close honestly he was being the cutest person ever. so after photos, we had another lil chat (this was all the while there were about 30 other people waiting for photos, he still stood and spoke to us) but then he had to go back to the decks and change the song so he done that and came back and we asked if we could have a group photo with him coz we didn’t have one of us all together and he was like “yes that sounds great lets do it!” so we got the group photo and he was being so silly by putting a bottle on my friends head for the photo (lol) then we took some other stupid selfies and then he was like “are you coming to the quiz?” and we were and he was like “i’ll see you there then!” and then we moved out the way for other people to take photos and i kind of died a bit after that lol like i think i’m used to seeing him but in reality i’m not lmao i genuinely felt overwhelmed to the point i might have cried a bit like he was just being SO NICE AND SO CUTE. so after the dj set, we jumped a taxi to the quiz and we got there and sat at the table nearest to the podium nick would be at (obvs) and then at like 6 he came in and again, said hello to us on his way to the wee stage bit. then we started the quiz and we had to think of a team name so we called ourselves “the nick grimshaw defence league” lmfao so the quiz started, we done the first half and then they took the answers away and the topman team (and nick too i think?) marked them to rank the teams 1st-5th for the first half of the quiz. so we were joint 4th at this point and coz he obvs didn’t know any of the teams names like who was who, when he saw ours he looked at our table and was like “this is obviously you guys” hahahaha of course nick. then we done the second half of the quiz then they took the answers away to do a final mark. some people had went up to nick for selfies and i really wanted to get a video for my friend who lives in america so I went up to him and he’d just sat back down at his table so i said i didnt want to bother him and just asked him if he would record a message coz it was too loud to at topman and he said yeah so i had to sit next to him coz he was lower down than me so he recorded the video and was like “hi brittany, it’s grimmy and i’m here with lauren in edinburgh” (yep first naming me AGAIN) and he also grabbed my hand and turned my phone on me to show me on the video lol ejoffmojjbkbkh. then he said some other lil things then finished the message. and i kind of expected him to say “thank you so much” and go back to the people at his table coz i had gone up and interrupted him but he started asking about my friend and where she lives etc and we spoke about how she is going to come to london soon and i said i would be back in london in a few weeks for my birthday and he was like “oh my god whens your birthday” (my bday is april 2nd) and he told me that his brothers birthday is april 1st and his managers is april 3rd and I was like “yes and im the 2nd!” and he was like “yes and youre in the middle!” and he like grabbed my knee and done a lil shake (asdfghjkl) and then we just made some general chit chat about stuff like how bad the shots were the place gave out and how he “never drinks” (LOL) and he just sat and spoke away to me and looked so interested in what i was saying to him and wanted to speak to me and it wasnt like he seemed obliged to. then he had to go back up and announce the winner so he stood up and i asked him for a last hug bc he was leaving for the airport after and he said “yes of course, thanks so much for coming” and i told him how much it meant for him to take time for me and he was like “no, no worries, thank you so much” and then he went back on the stage and announced the winner and left pretty much straight after to fly back to london. but honestly, the purpose of me explaining this is to show how sweet, humble, lovely and amazing nick really is. i’m so sick of people being brutal to him on a daily basis when he’s such a sweetheart. nick didn’t need to take all that time for me today and be so lovely and chatty. he could literally have taken a photo with me and done my video message but he sat and spoke to me because he wanted to and he knows how much it means to me. he could easily have forgotten who i am but after 2 years, still calls me by my name everytime I see him. i cannot understand how people can be so horrible to such a humble man. nick is literally my idol, i look up to him in so many ways and the way he was with me today showed me that and has made me 10 times more thankful that i have him in my life.
