I’ve got a friend who knows of Chris as she grew up in North West London as well and apparently Chris and his girlfriend have a daughter (toddler)! I think of myself of a frequent listener but don’t remember it ever being discussed or mentioned?! I know him and his girlfriend aren’t married and at the time wouldn’t of been together for that long / quite young so maybe that’s why he chose to not disclose it? He’d make such a fun dad!

Yeah, this forum worked out that Chris and his gf had had a baby when it happened. What can I say, we're excellent stalkers. But I suppose it was never mentioned on air both for her privacy and also because they want to preserve Chris' image as a bit of a lad who's still having fun and finding his way in the world. Being settled with a kid doesn't really fit with that. But also it makes you seem older, and makes you less relatable to the target audience, most of whom won't have kids. Plus people talking about their kids is really boring. I'm kinda glad it's not mentioned on air, for all of the reasons above. 

Matt's kid has been acknowledged once or twice - he had to miss a live episode of the Xtra Factor for her birth and they explained it live on air, and then he put a statement on his Twitter - he implied that he wasn't going to announce it publicly but they did it for him on the Xtra Factor so he felt obligated to say something. And I think then one of his guests on the radio show referenced it shortly after and he seemed a bit uncomfortable and moved on the conversation. 

Back in the day I think Coxy, Jo Whiley and Edith might have talked about their kids a bit more, but it's probably harder to keep them a secret when they disappear from the airwaves for several months! 

Oh, and did I mention - people talking about their kids is BORING.

Oh, Chris got married today by the way. A couple of wedding Instagram stories. We probably should've sent a card. Oh well. There's always next wedding.

Also I'm fully caught up with last week's show and Thursday's show was so lovely. A touching celebration of Chris, it was great, especially Scott's tribute at the end. If you missed it, it's worth a listen back because they played out a few classic clips of his best moments - including Beccy!

    • I think Jack Saunders if in for the long haul may mature and develop as a presenter with the opportunities to do big interviews and features. I think I really enjoyed him doing the late version of the indie show the presentation style of future artists got repetitive of presenting as if every show is the first time the shows on air with over explaining the purpose. But think this show could have a different approach 
    • Not a fan of Jack Saunders, but ...  This is a marked improvement over Clara Amfo (almost anything would have been) - And it's also better than what JS was doing in his previous slot - He's definitely been listening back to Zane Lowe, and drawing lessons from that.
    • @lochnessa what an incredible feature, really do miss the games from that show
    • Life Hacks is on 20.00-22.00 on Monday 13th, Tuesday 14th & Wednesday 15th May - in place of Future Artists and Future Pop.
    • Brother or Lover? WhooooOOOOooooeoeehrheroooooooooo.
    • What's your morning routine when you're working?
    • I feel like we all know how they'll answer that!
    • Makes sense, I always assumed they all went for 1D members regardless.
    • Do you prefer doing Capital Breakfast to Radio 1 or the other way round?
    • Jesus christ, Olivia Rodrigo was around 3 years ago!?! I thought she was only born in 2019. Anyway. They are doing it to rival commercial networks, on the main 2 lists anyway with rotating them more. Which all in all is a pit of misery. I'm sick to bloody death of Stick Season, it's an utter bag of mediocre wank that makes me even prefer James Blunt circa 2005. Radio 1 still is more expansive however, loved stuff they play and make their own early days, like Jungle Back on 74 like last year.  They can't lose doing stuff that, or else they become bland like everyone else. They have done that for many years though. I heard a song on a March 2001 aircheck from Chris Moyles recently and rediscovered a song by Kings Of Convenience, called Toxic Girl. Totally lost over 25 years but totally love it like it's new. Radio 1 has always played the big time pop stuff since your nan was 3. But they always have and still do throw something on the playlists that isn't what everyone else has. I hope they continue to do that as it sets them apart. 
    • I think they are looking too much into this and need to get a proper job where you have to get up at 5am.
    • Zayn's current song isn't on the R1 playlist so would be odd for him to do an interview I guess, not sure either would want it?
    • You have both presented together before your show on Capital. Have you spent time together as friends since, or is the reunion like getting to know one another all over again?   I’m a long time listener in my mid 30s and now outside the R1 target audience age… Chris is into barbecuing and Jordan is into air frying, have you both noticed a change in the other since the days of R1? And are you under any pressure to be on trend at Capital? 
    • What do you both miss most about your time at R1?
    • How are you finding the early mornings, and having your afternoons free? Was it easy getting to grips with a different desk and play out system? Do you have any upcoming OBs and anything else exciting planned for the show that you can exclusively share with Unofficialmills? 😀
