10 Things You Didn't Know About Nick Grimshaw

9. He Once Swallowed A Bit Of Glass On Air

"News just in: I've swallowed something weird in my drink. So now I have to go make sure I'm OK at the hospital." Bless you Grimmy, for not making an absolute song and dance over the fact that actually there was a bit of broken glass lodged in his throat (which he'd swallowed from his mug. Rumors are still flying as to which presenter put it in there...) Grimshaw's handling of the incident was admirable to say the least - especially in comparison to other presenter's having a disaster while live, including 5 live presenter Shelagh Fogarty, who had a complete meltdown when a mouse ran over her hand mid-show. He made his announcement, calmly handed over the microphone to Fearne Cotton €“ who finished the show €“ and excused himself. A little while later he tweeted: "Went to hospy, had x-rays, coughed it up, all fine now"

I love Stephen King and music festivals; I eat my toast upside down; I daydream about getting married probably a bit too much; and I wish every day for a pet sausage dog puppy (who never materialises – sob).
