Ellie Goulding: Greg James is the one for me

ELLIE GOULDING has spoken for the first time about how starry-eyed she is with Radio 1 star GREG JAMES.

Last week I revealed the chart-topping singer and the DJ were an item.

I met up with keen athlete Ellie this week so she could put me through my paces in preparation for my triathlon.

As I struggled along with a horror hangover, she effortlessly breezed around the park. And she was good enough to tell me how their relationship began.

She said: "It was funny how it all came about. Greg had come to a few of my early gigs and someone had told me he was a really big fan.

"I didn't actually know who he was but I listened in to Radio 1 and found out. I invited him to my vinyl pressing and we got talking. It all happened from there.

"I really admire him. He won a competition to get his big break and has worked hard."

Hugely talented Ellie is a breath of fresh air in pop - and a looker, too. If you haven't seen the Bizarre Session she did last month, check it out. There's no doubting her voice. Greg is a diamond too - and they make a top couple.

Earlier this year I watched with Greg as Ellie performed at The Brits launch party. I wondered why he was so sheepish.

I thought it was because I'd forgotten I borrowed £20 from him at the bar when I had been on Xtra Factor.

Ellie joked about the long road to success. She said: "I supported BABYSHAMBLES in Italy. It was awful. I had to ask halfway through if someone could bring a stiff drink to me on stage.

"They didn't want to hear pop. All they could say was, 'Go away! Go away!' It was character building."

The crowd was well onside at Glastonbury, though. Not that she needs to worry.

Something tells me the Radio 1 playlist will be looking after her.

Ellie, on the John Peel Stage last night, pitched in with a faultless set as punters outside clambered to get a look-in.

Those inside were treated to a delight.

Guns And Horses had the entire tent clapping and singing along while her set closer, Starry Eyed, was the icing on the cake.

imagine my friends! They wouldn't even know who Greg and Ellie are! ;)

Aww. My friends don't know who Greg is. About one found out about Starry Eyed months after I had told her about it (then didn't believe me about having it on my iPod ages ago), and waaay after I played Under The Sheets all the night. Hurr.

OMASM. Radio presenters are like fruit. Matt is my kumquat and Scott is blatantly my orange.

it made me laugh

he was introducing it and trying not to chuckle and was saying how it is his favourite song of the album although it sounds like a cat being dragged across the motorway

    • Less so with 5 Live. But with Nihal, Nicky Campbell and Mark Chapman get what you are saying.6 Music does have that with Huw Stephens, Mary Anne Hobbs, Gilles Peterson, Marc Riley and Mark Radcliffe
    • Agreed, Martha seems to quietly taken over as host of the Tuesday Bass and Big Beats show that Annie Nightingale did would be good to have some promotion to be done for her show. Agreed with this on bank holidays on a Radio 1 dance day inpaticular would be quite good to have Sarah Storey, Jaguar, Jeremiah Asiamah, Charlie Tee and Martha presenting. I always felt that in Christmas and New Year previously having Victoria Jane to do a Future Soul take over playlist.
    • To be fair to him, this week and next week he’s on his podcast tour which was arranged well before he started on R1. After that I would guess he’ll start being on everyday? 
    • It’s Jamie’s dream of a lifetime to be a full time Radio 1 presenter apparently, but he can only do it 2 or 3 days a week. 
    • Radio 1 generation meaning??  Today's 10-30 yr-olds? I doubt it. They'll still know Pete Tong though, because he is rhyming slang!
    • There was a time when everyone knew Zane Lowe or Annie Mac or Judge Jules or Dave Pearce or Annie Nightingale. Does the Radio 1 generation know the current bunch?
    • Looks like it's off to Preston! 
    • Would be nice to give more presence to the specialist shows over bank holidays. Surely the best way to promote new music credentials over anthems? As much as I accept it's very popular.
    • Peak radio 1 ! I agree with Bluestraw there was huge presence by specialist presenters then , certainly something I think radio1 could do more of now. Remember the takeover where specialist DJs would swap into main shows for a week? Or do we recall In New DJs We Trust, the competition on Chris moyles show where the winner would get a DJ set at radio 1s Ibiza weekend, and that is how Danny Howard’s radio career starters
    • Yeah. He started on R1 in the late 90's when they used do the 'Sessions in the Nations' where they used to split for Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. He then moved to daytimes, firstly on weekends in 2003 then they replaced Mark & Lard on the mid afternoon slot in 2004.  Then he moved to late evenings as a specialist DJ.
    • Thanks for sharing that - I don't think I've seen it before. Didn't realise that Colin Murray off of Countdown and R5L used to be on R1! Several other current R2/R5L/R6M names there too.
    • 29th April has updated to show Dan back as presenter but still Nels in for Alyx on Introducing Rock. 6th May schedule has updated to show that the Radio 1 Big Weekend Shows will now be the following: 6am-10am 10am-2pm 2pm-6pm 6pm-8pm Still no presenters listed.
    • Where do we think Radio 2 in the Park will be this year? Personally I'm thinking Swindon after Scott's clue of it having many roundabouts and since Big Weekend is at Luton I can't imagine they'd go to Milton Keynes.
    • Yeah, I feel like they need a big push on Jack to cement him in his new position. But it shouldn't just be Jack, you've got Sian and Alyx for instance, who are relatively new faces.
    • Now in it's third week, the new Capital Breakfast Show seems to be settling down well and there are more of the informal, random Jordan topics appearing.  Though it is clear he wants to be seen slightly differently. It really is a very decent listen.
