Hope you're good. Hope you're well. Today, we had a really nice time. Although, I didn't sleep well. I slept really badly last night. But I, hey, because I'm a professional and it's show business, you've got to just get through it. And we more than got through it. We had such a good time. Up until the last minute when my brain stopped working and I said, Ricky, Melvin and Charlene.

What is that? I don't even know what that is. It's very difficult to even do that again. I think you invented names. Ricky, Melvin and Charlene. Melvin. You got Melvin and Charlie confused with each other, so you called him Melvin and Charlene.

Melvin. Ricky Melvin and Charlene. Melvin and Charlene. Ricky Melvin and Charlene. Charlene. Ricky Melvin and Charlene. That was me losing more confidence in myself. Anyway, so we did get through this. And there's no crisis going on, guys. Just one of those nights. The brain sometimes just doesn't want to let you sleep.

And you just want to just keep punching yourself. But then you get into that cycle as well where you're awake. You're like, oh, that's annoying. I can just get back to sleep. And then your brain goes, oh, no, you don't. I go, no, no, no, I can. And you go, yeah, I can get to sleep.

And then it feels dark and it just feels a bit weird. You're like, oh, it's not going to happen. And then you then think about all the things you've got to do that day. And you're like, if I fell asleep right this second, I would get four hours of sleep. Yeah. Three and a half hours of sleep. Yeah. And then you're scrolling through different podcasts. Getting increasingly more unhinged and seeing if that's the one that will finally switch off your brain. And then before you know it,

it's 20 minutes till your alarm and I was like I'm just going to get up so I had a nice I turned it into a positive I had a nice leisurely get up sat down sat down at the dining room table had breakfast and as I was leaving as I was leaving on time early if anything Barney decides to wake up and wants to come downstairs for a wee unbelievable

But we're here and we had a really nice show today. All the latest things, a quiz with a man called Henry, a Jan Slam prize, which is all about match of the day. We did cat things, which was great, actually. Shall we start with cat things? Who made that? Tom. Sorry.

Sorry, Seema. No, it's good. Sorry to Seema, who actually, this is her song, but...

Welcome to Cat Things. Cat Things. Cat Things. Cat Things. This is, we are, I'm doing this as a box ticking exercise. We did. We did dogs last week and then everyone started moaning. But can, can they win me over? That's the thing. Cat Things. We're going to celebrate those lovely furry balls of fluff.

And what else? Help me out here, Amy. Happiness, joy, cuddles, incredible things. Evil. Spite. Spite. But good evil. Hate. Good hate. Scratching. Good scratching. You speak to our friend Helena about good scratching. She had to go to the hospital because of a little scratch on the eye.

Maybe we should get Helena in to do cat things, see if she still likes them. Anyway, first up we have... My sweet little baby boy, Buddy. He wakes me up at 4:30am every single morning just so he can get breakfast and he will not let me sleep in. He will claw my face until I wake up. He will meow and scream until I've made him his breakfast.

And then he'll lick it for a little bit. And then he will go straight back to bed. It's a good life. I'm not saying that I don't respect them. I respect them greatly. I think I'd like to be a cat over a dog. I'd like to be a cat. You're just much more assured of who you are. That said, I just went down to the 7th Floor Cafe and I just saw a guide dog. And I was very excited. But obviously you have to remain not excited outwardly to a guide dog because they're very busy.

looking after their owner. But I just want to put this your way, Amy. You don't get guide cats. You do get therapy kittens, though. Yeah, therapy kittens, but they're not being trained. They're just cute. And? Well, a guide dog can be trained to look after someone who needs a visual impairment. Have you tried training a cat? Because you don't know. No one really tries training them and they could be amazing. I feel like someone has tried.

I think there's a reason for that. Yeah, there's a reason they haven't tried to train guide cats. Jake? My cat Rosie absolutely adores dreamies. But the second she has more than three, she'll run in front of me, taunt me with her wretches, and then run to the most expensive item in the house, whether that be the sofa or the new carpet or just my bed, and throw up all over it. See, that's a spite sick, isn't it? If you don't give me... If you don't give me any more, I'm going...

Harriet! Hi there, welcome to Cat Things. How can we help? So my cat Bear is, he's lovely, but he is a bit of a pain. So he, even if he's in the same room with us, he'll go to another room or go downstairs or something like that. And then he will meow the house down.

Because he doesn't know where we are. Yeah, because you need to be with Bear at all times, don't you? Yes. Okay. And so what do you do? Do you immediately go rushing to the prince? Of course, of course, because he is our little prince. But we do also meow back as well. That's good. Okay, so, all right, can we do a bit of role play? Is that not too weird? Okay. So you're going to leave the room. I'm going to be Bear. Okay. Okay.

*meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow* *meow*

Okay, well, thank you for being on today, Harriet, and thanks for meowing. What have you got to do today? Have you got to do a grown-up adult job now? Yes, I do have to go to my grown-up adult job now. What do you do? I'm an executive assistant at a hardware retailer. At a hardware retailer. It's hard to say. One with a big orange sign out the front. One with a big orange sign out the front. Okay. Okay.

I think we know what that one is, don't we? Well, hey, you can do it, okay? Yes. Yeah, you can do it today. All right, Harriet, speak to you soon. Speak to you soon. Bye. Welcome back to Cat Things. This is Greg James. Producer Amy is a cat owner, cat lover, cat obsessive.

Helen has actually been on to me and sent me a video of her cats fighting this morning. I do need to hear from Helena, who is also cat obsessed. Do you still like them after being scratched in the eyeball by one of them? That's what I would say. Amy, what have you got for me? So one of my cats doesn't like a closed door, like a fully closed door. So if you close a door, Dizzy Daisy has to be in that room.

Which also means that I can never go to the toilet by myself. If it's time, as Jack Saunders would say, to drop a big one, she's either in the room or behind the door doing the most ugly meow you'll ever hear, which is meow for the entire...

Yeah. Turn. They are sort of dictators, aren't they? We just live in their house, really. Pets in general, I think, really. Dogs, very similar. They follow you around. But they're a bit more needy. They're a bit more sort of like, oh, where are you going? I miss you. Whereas cats are like, no, in, now. Get in here, now. Loads of great voice notes. What is this person saying? My cat, Lucy, is a house cat. And she can't get mice for us as gifts. So she's constantly bringing us Nerf bullets.

Nerf bullets? What a clever cat. Oh, I'd love that.

I always need someone to play Nerf with because Bella doesn't want to because she's a grown-up. But yeah, that'd be great if I could just fire the Nerf bullets around the house and the cat goes and collects them. That's a dream. Maybe I do love cats after all. My partner and I are joined by our neighbour's cat. We have been chosen by our neighbour's cat. And she has taken to summoning us at the kitchen window in the morning to let her in, calling for us if we're not upstairs or downstairs when she wants us to be there.

and responds to ma'a. There's a lot of cat, there's like cat politics, isn't there? There's like a huge, huge problem in neighbourhoods and with neighbours and stuff. I see this on like neighbourhood email chains and stuff, like where I am. People saying, uh,

can you not let my cat into your house? That's a real thing, isn't it? Amy, have you had that cat politics? So my parents' cat, Lily, she will go into my neighbour's house via the toilet during, sorry for these toilet related ones, during one incident, my neighbour Lewis was doing, again, like Jack Saunders says, dropping a big one. And she jumped into his window and onto his lap.

But this is the thing, like, but some people, you want to be nice to the animal, but then the owners get cross because they go, this is not your cat. Stop trying to claim the cat. And then they get fat. And then they get a fat cat. Morning, Greg. Can we get a shout out for our pussy cat, Otto? He passed away this weekend. He was such a good boy. He even came home once with next door's pork joint in his mouth. He's a brilliant cat. So if you could give him a shout out, that'd be wonderful. Oh, Otto. So we should do a minute of meowing for him. Yeah.

Not a minute, but we'll do that. Shall we just do 10 seconds? Five seconds. For Otto. Carys! Hi! Welcome to Cat Things. What have you got for me? Um,

They're so demanding.

She cries. I mean, we've all been in there. We've all been there sometimes when you're not very well. Sometimes you can cry when you're on the toilet.

because of the horrors that are happening beneath. But yeah, it's time to drop a big one, as Jack Saunders would say. And then your cat would just scream. What would the scream sound like, please, Carys? Get ready for it. 2am, for a good couple of minutes. Yeah, lovely night. You're immediately there with the rubber gloves on, right? What do you need? Anything you need? Absolutely.

This has been an amazing Cat Things and I'd like to apologise actually to James in Hampshire

And actually everyone who was offended by the private moment I shared with Harriet not so long ago where we were meowing at each other. James in Hampshire is Harriet's partner. And he's texting saying, I'm not sure what to think about hearing my partner Harriet meowing at you, Greg, on the radio. And you know what? I don't know how to feel about it either. But I did get into the role. And I'm sorry. I feel like I did cross a line there. Yeah.

So that was Cat Things today and I hope the cat owners feel, I don't know, satiated. And now we have a quiz. Here comes Henry. Henry! Hi, how you doing? Very good, thank you Henry. Welcome to The Breakfast Show. Welcome to yesterday's quiz. You all worked together in Northamptonshire. Carrie's the captain. She was on yesterday. She was telling us to get very excited about you.

Yeah, we've got a bit of a love-hate relationship. I love her, she hates me. Interesting, yeah, I did get a bit of that. So here are the nicknames that I've been given for you already. Henry the Menace, you're the office jester and you're also known as Sassy Pants.

Yeah. Yeah, they kind of can't really choose between one, so they just hit me over the head with all three. That's okay. It's sort of... It's because you're the youngest in the office, isn't it? And... Yeah. Yeah, they say it's because they love me, but I... Honestly, I don't know what to say. I just...

Well, look, you're on the quiz. Just crack on with it. Yeah, I think that's how we approach life, really, isn't just crack on with it sometimes. But hey, every office needs a Henry. Absolutely. That's a little joke for the cleaners there. So we have a load of questions about stuff that happened yesterday. Did you hear Carrie yesterday, by the way, Henry?

I did, yeah. Yeah, the David Attenborough thing. That's not going away anytime soon. Did that get brought up in the office yesterday? Yeah, like every five or ten minutes for the entire day. That's great, yeah. Everyone in the office should be sending her pictures and emailing her pictures of David Attenborough as much as possible. Yeah, that's not going to stop. Henry, here we go with your questions. Do we have some dingers? There we go. 90 seconds. Here we go.

11 is your score to beat. Henry, a real chance to get in the lead here. Question one is this. Which singer of Real Man and Glue Song attended her own lookalike competition on Zoom yesterday? Oh, I am not sure. I'd like to pass on that one. OK, that's fine. It's Beba Doobie. It was National Cheese Lovers Day yesterday. Name your favourite cheese.

Wensley Dale. Okay, Wallace. A teaser came out from Jade's appearance on Louis Theroux's podcast. Finish the name of her single, Angel of My... Jade. Not sure, sorry, pass. It's Angel of My Dreams. Dundee played Dundee United in Dundee, but which team from Dundee won the Dundee Derby? Dundee United? No, it was the other one, it was Dundee. Love Island All Stars was on TV, but who presents that show?

Myojama? Correct. A study found that high use of fertilizer has halved the number of pollinators on Earth. What does a bee doing some pollinating sound like? I think it's just one point for that. Who won the Premier League match between Chelsea and Wolves? Was it Wolves? No, it was Chelsea. It was 19 years since the release of which movie musical starring Zac Efron as Troy Bolton?

High School Musical. Correct. Which Radio 1 Sound of 2025 winner spoke to Jack Saunders on Radio 1's new music show yesterday? Was it Chapel Roan? It was Chapel Roan. Lewis Hamilton said he has realised his dream as he officially joined which F1 team? Ferrari. Correct. We gave away a prize to visit the set of EastEnders on JanSlam. Give us your best impression of the EastEnders doof-doofs. Dun, dun, dun, dun, dun-a-na-na. If you sing, I might give you an extra point. Dun-a-na-na-na-na-na-na-na.

I will give you an extra point. It was Penguin Awareness Day yesterday. What are penguins known for being great at? Swimming or K-pop dancing? Swimming. Yes, it is swimming. And who was on the quiz yesterday? Carrie. Good. Although, Susanna, did you write the questions today? Yeah. Do you know that penguins can't do dancing at the K-pop? Honestly, I was going to say Thrayne Wallace and Gromit.

Oh, yeah, Feathers McGraw. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. My fact-checking's off, I'm sorry. Yeah, penguins are evil, of course. They're great at swimming and they're great at planning heists and things.

OK, I am also going to give you an extra point for a Wallace and Gromit reference because I love them. Thank you. That takes you to 11. I was the same as Carrie. Oh, God. Right, OK. I think it's good, though. This is good. That's going to be an awkward conversation when we get into the office. It's fine because it means that you might be head-to-head on Friday if you both stay in the lead. But that's another way of looking at it. We spin it. You're in the lead. Yeah, absolutely.

Henry, thanks for being on this morning. No worries, thank you. Have a lovely day. Maybe we catch up on Friday, but enjoy your day at work and give my best to Carrie. I'll see what I can do, thank you. Cheers for having me on.

Time now for all the latest things. Radio One Breakfast. All the latest things. Okay, so Jade has been on the Louis Theroux podcast. The episode came out today and she was reminiscing about the beef she had in her Little Mix days. In 2021, Little Mix won a Brit Award for Best British Group and Noel Gallagher said the following...

Little Mix with the greatest respect. Little Mix with the greatest respect are not in the same league as Oasis, not even in the same spot.

Now, years later, Jade has said this. I also kind of love that I've ended up in some sort of tiff with one of the Gallaghers. I feel like it's the same as getting a hate tweet from Azealia Banks. Is that what she specialises in? Yeah, I feel like you've made it when Azealia Banks drags you on Twitter or when one of the Gallaghers sparks some sort of confrontation with you. Interesting, yeah. So that's what you need. You need Noel or Liam or Azealia Banks. Yeah.

Well, has Jade had that? Have you had a hate tweet from Azalea Banks? No, not yet. No. Still time. Last night on Radio 1's new music show with Jack Saunders, there was a brilliant interview with Chapel Roan. Chapel Roan is Radio 1's Sound of 2025. She was top of the list and Jack flew out to LA to have a really good chat with her. They got on so well. It actually sounds like Jack's flirting here. What do you like to do to have a good time?

Well, if I want to have like a really good night, I just play video games. What are you playing video games? Fortnite. Oh, you're on it? Did you start playing the new first person? Oh, what? Yeah, they launched the first person. First person mode.

Yeah. But now I wouldn't get to see my Ariana Grande character. It's a great chat. They've got on really, really well. And you just hear new things from Chapel Rowan that she doesn't really talk about very much. Like this revelation about Good Luck Babe. Well, originally, I don't even know if I've ever said this in an interview. It was originally called Good Luck Jane. It was not Good Luck Babe at first because I wanted it to be like me falling in love with my best friend and then her being like, ah, ah, ah.

I don't like you back. I like boys. And it's kind of, it was like, okay, well, good luck with that. So it was called Good Luck Jane. What a sad little life, Jane. Amazing. The chat is on BBC Sounds or you can watch it all on iPlayer. And finally, also on Jack's show, new music from one of my favourites, Self Esteem is back. And she shared a teaser of a brand new song called Focus Is Power. So what are you gonna do with it now? Keep singing, singing, singing.

Sounds good. Sounds very good. Self-esteem is back. New music you can hear on the Radio 1 New Music Show at six o'clock tonight with Jack Saunders. And shall we play one of her songs to celebrate? Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James. Time now for Jan Slam. Radio 1's Jan Slam. Sam. Hello. Tim. Hello. Good morning. How are you both?

- Yes, good, thank you, how are you? - Pretty good. This prize is excellent, really good prize.

It's a tour of the match of the day studio. Plus, you get to meet one of the presenters or the pundits. And you basically just get to nerd out and just see how it's all put together, which is a really good thing. So you're both, Sam, are you a football fan? I am, yeah, massive. I'm totally too many like it, but we don't talk about that. Well, that's okay. You know, there's a great legacy, isn't there? There's a great legacy. The club has a good history. Some great moments over the years. Tim, what about you?

Yep, I'm a Chelsea fan myself. So let's take a pause and play a song and then we'll come back and we'll do Jan Slam today. So Tim, tell me, aside from being a Chelsea fan, boo, what do you do in your life? I am a police officer. Are you? Sorry for booing a police officer. That's not a great start, is it? And Sam, what about you?

I work in marketing. Okay, great. So you've been listening to Jan Slam for the last few weeks and stuff. Have you been tempted to enter any of the other ones? What was it about this one, Sam, that you thought, I'll give this a go? I mean, this one is like, I don't think there'll be a better prize. However, I was tempted to be a sender's one. I'm literally catching up on last night's right now. It was good to be a sender's prize, isn't it? But I think this will have a similar thing, which is like going behind the scenes of an iconic show. That's the thing with this, I guess. And Tim, what about you?

Yeah, I was looking at the music festival once, a bit of a music fan, but, yeah, literally live and breathe football. So when this came up, it was a no-brainer, really. Yeah, it's been a really nice day out. You get to meet all the people, the smart people that put that show together as well. Sam is in Tunbridge in Kent. And, Tim, you're also in Kent, in Maidstone. Yes, I am indeed. A couple of Kent legends. So...

It's you two head to head for this Match of the Day prize. It is a behind the scenes tour for you and a mate. Plus, you'll get to meet and greet one of the presenters or pundits from the show. Let me tell you all about the game. I'm sure you're aware, but I have to. Here's how it works. Don't get it wrong, please. That's it. I'll be asking questions about Match of the Day. For each question, both of you are allowed to answer if you think you know it. If you get it right, you win the prize.

But if you get it wrong, then you go away with nothing. You've blown it and the other person immediately wins and they go away with the prize. So only answer when you think you're sure you know it. The questions will get easier as we go along. And if you stay quiet, then both of you stay quiet. We'll just move on to the next question. But if you don't give it a go, might that person sneak in? They might do. They might be sneaky.

Sam and Tim, you have five seconds to answer each question. If I don't hear anything from either of you, we'll move on to the next question. If you do choose to answer, please shout your name loudly and then immediately give me the answer. No hesitations, please. I don't want to have to disqualify you, but I'm willing to do it. Only say your name when you think you know if you're going to answer. If you interrupt me, I'll stop asking the question. Is that all clear? Are you happy to proceed? Yeah, I'm clear. Okay.

Here we go with today's questions. Sam the marketeer, Tim the police officer. Question one. The first match of the day programme was broadcast on the 22nd of August 1964. Who won the Football League First Division that season? Sam. Yes. You know who I'm going to say, don't you? It was Man United. It was Man United.

I just didn't know. I don't know. Yeah. I mean, if she would have told, but you know. The first question is so tricky. Don't want to jump too early. Question two. Last year, Gary Lineker announced that he would be leaving Match of the Day. But how many years has he hosted the show for? Tim, 25. Tim was first. Your phone cut out a little bit. What did you say? 25. Yeah, I thought you did.

25 years. How sure are you about that? Well, no, it's 1999, so it's just whether it's 25 or 26. He's done the maths. You're going to the Match of the Day studio, Tim. Wow, I can't actually believe that. I really questioned it then, because I was like, it's 1999, whether it's 25 or 26. Yep, 25 years this year, he's calling it a day. Tim, congratulations, really well played.

Thank you very much. It's gone on question two, Sam, and it was a Man United question. Your terrible run continues. Yeah, that's luck of the draw, unfortunately. Yeah, fair play, Tim. That was, yeah, fair. Thanks for being on, Sam. Have a good rest of the week. No worries. Cheers, Tim. Nice work. Very, very nice. Thank you very much.

So that's going to be a great day. You'll get to meet some of the new lot who are going to be there hosting it and obviously see how the show's put together. It's just a great place to go and have a little look around at. I literally can't wait, yeah. Well, I'm pleased. It sounds like you're excited for it. You're deserving of this prize. Tim, have a good day today. Thank you, officer. I will. We'll catch up soon. I'm sorry for booing you earlier.

You're forgiven. But also, you are a Chester fan, so I'm allowed to be you. OK. All right. Bye. Bye. Also today, we checked in with an old friend. We've got some space news. And luckily for us, we have a space correspondent. This all happened by chance, and it was one of the best bits of luck ever. Shawn Mendes was supposed to be on this show a few years ago. Last minute, he just didn't pick up.

So we had a half hour to spare. So we said, does anyone want to come on and talk about anything? And a man called Andy turned up and just started talking about the moon. And we loved him. And you loved him. Some would argue, better than Shawn Mendes. And he's now become Shawn Moondez. Shawn slash Andy, welcome back to The Breakfast Show. Oh, it's good to be back, Greg. Long time ago, that, wasn't it?

It was. But not in space time, of course. Oh, no, it was just a blip in space time. Well, aren't we all just a blip in space time? Talk to us about the Planet Tree Parade, Sean.

Yes, so tonight and over the next few nights, you'll be able to see, with the naked eye, four planets, and if you've got a decent telescope, you'll be able to see six planets with all clustered in one bit of the sky, which is quite rare, really, because it's kind of like organising a weekend meet-up with mates in your 30s. LAUGHTER

Everyone is busy and the stars rarely align, but over the next week, they will. Yeah, do you know what? I've got one on the 21st of February. We organised it last night. We were like, everyone, lock it in, 21st of Feb. So, the six planets. Please, can you list the six planets, but save Uranus for the last one? LAUGHTER

So it is, you'll be able to see Mars, Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune. No, no, no, no, it needs to be the last one. Okay, but I'm doing them in the order you just said. No, don't, don't, don't. I'm doing them in order of what's funniest, so go. Okay, you can see Mars, Jupiter, Neptune, Venus, Saturn, and...

Uranus! Yes, exactly. Only if you buy me a drink first. Okay, so that's going to be a really beautiful sight. You clearly have a good telescope at home, Andy, do you? I do, yes. It's not the most powerful, but you can see the planets up close, the craters of the moon up close. Right. So if I got a telescope, I could see Uranus through it tonight? Yes.

Yes. Yes. Just wanted to check. So how often does this happen? When do we... How special is this? So the last time this particular event happened was, I think, 400 years ago. Oh! So it's quite rare. Yeah. And in...

we'll be able to see the other seven planets, Mercury included. And that's not going to happen again until 2300. So, yeah, it's quite a rare event. I don't think I'm going to be around then. No, we'll have to lock that one in the diary. Probably best to...

Probably best to maybe get a telescope now, isn't it? Yes. I've thought about it for a while and look, I don't have kids so I sort of can buy all the toys for me. So maybe I should get a... Maybe I should just buy a telescope for tonight. I think you could, Greg, because if you get one that's like powerful enough, you'd be actually... You could actually see the ice caps on Mars from your back garden. Really? Yeah. How much is that sort of telescope going to set me back? A couple of hundred. A couple of hundred?

A couple of hundred quid and I'm seeing ice on Mars. Well, that's like a train to Manchester. That's OK. I'm sort of into that.

Yeah, it's a very addictive hobby. I will point that out. But that's what your brand is. My brand, yes. Addictive hobbies. Or just my actual personality. But yes, of course, it is a brand. Yes, of course, it's a brand. Yes, we're all brands. Well, OK, also give us a recommendation. Give us an app. Do you do a stargazing app?

Yes, it's called Starwalker and it's so useful because all you do is you download it, you tap on the compass and then you point your phone at the sky and it tells you exactly what you're seeing. Right. Other apps are available, obviously, but I'm going to have a little look at some of these. That's good. Andy, thank you so much for being on today. Oh, thank you for having me. We better say goodbye now. Goodbye. Fare thee well, Greg. Goodbye, dear. Goodbye.

Speak to you soon. Until next time. Bye-bye, Sean Mooners. Bye. He's floating away. And finally, some guest news. Now, I was going to chat to Ricky, Melvin and Charlie, but we've just had some breaking news and this is great. It's exciting. For two weeks now, two and a bit weeks now, many of us have been obsessed with a new person to have entered our lives.
