Driving you home throughout the week and relaxing you on a Sunday afternoon, get the lowdown on the award-winning presenter.

In Public

Life before Gold - what were you up to?
"Same thing, getting away with it, just."

I don't feel like dancing - what will you play to get me on the dancefloor?
"Tom Jones - 'Chills and Fever'"

John, Paul, George or Ringo?
"John, Paul, George and Ringo."

Whoops, I've pressed Play Count on your iTunes, what song have you listened to the most?
"'What's The Story Morning Glory' became 'What's the Story Balamory'. My daughter Ruby is not even 2 yet but has learnt how to infiltrate my iTunes."

I hate to ask...but whose autograph did you insist on getting?
"I made David Frost give me his copy of Private Eye that he'd just bought and was on the front cover of and sign it for me."

Many wouldn't believe you but what's the most surreal moment you've had with a household name?
"The Wiggles and Captain Feathersword sat on the floor outside my studio waiting for me."

Size matters - who was surprisingly taller / shorter than you expected?
"Taller- Matthew Kelly (7ft 3"); smaller- Paul Anka (2ft 6")."

Which song do you wish you'd written?
"'Hey Jude'- The Beatles. Would've changed that shoulder line though, still don't get it."

Which song sums up your journey so far?
"'Nice Work If You Can Get It' - Frank Sinatra

We've been a great audience - how will you send us home smiling?
"Hopefully by not trying too hard to."

In Private

It's my round - what are you having?
"Pint of lager (I'm from Romford, what do you expect?)."

Ever fallen in love (with someone you shouldn't have fallen in love with?)
"Probably."

Where did you sleep last night? (and how was it?)
"At home thanks. (Nice)."

Je ne regrette rien - et vous?
"Loads and loads, but hey I ain't Edith Piaf."

A day at the races or a night at the opera?
"Races. Can you gamble on opera?"

The invite says fancy dress, who are you going as?
"Captain Feathersword."

Do YouTube?
"I'm a watcher rather than a doer."

Ah, there's the receipt - what are you returning and what do you want instead?
"I don't want an Arsenal shirt, give me the Spurs one instead."

If the cat's in the hat, what's the dog wearing?
"A hat? Is that the right answer?"

Famous last words:
"Lived fast, died young, left clean underpants."
