I Met the Fucking Queen YO

And you love me ’til my heart stops Love me ’til I’m dead

A small selection of Gryles radio fondness

I look at them and see the true magic of Grimmy: he’s not just a DJ, he’s an alchemist, mixing the most unlikely people together and making magic. He’s not just a presenter, he’s a pied piper, with a neverending stream of devoted followers (myself included) whom he leads to the promised land of FUN time and time again. Being in his orbit makes you feel cooler, smarter, funnier…part of something. THAT is the magic of Nick Grimshaw, whether you’re a friend, a listener, a colleague or just a chance meeting on the street. He has time for you. He brings you in. He makes you laugh and radiates an immediate easy warmth and inclusivity the likes of which I’ve never experienced. His persona on the radio isn’t a persona, it’s the real thing, which makes listening to the show as his actual friend feel just like hanging out with him IRL. I’ll miss that a lot, knowing that wherever I am I can tune in and feel like I’m with my pal. But all of these things combined are the reasons I know that the end of his time at Radio 1 is only the beginning. Wherever he goes next he will shine, as he always has, and he’ll bring us all along for the ride. ♥️

He’s not one for compliments so I’ll just leave this here. Nick’s probably done more for gays like me growing up than he’ll ever know. An out man, with a ‘touch’ of camp not being the butt of the joke but being the coolest in the room?! We love to see it! But above all, he’s also just dead funny and knows how to have a laugh. Listening to him from home on the late show and then working with him on Breakfast & Drive has given me some of my most loved times @bbcradio1. It won’t be the same without him- a true hun 👏👏👏

bbcradio1 Today is @nicholasgrimshaw's last day on Radio 1 😢Take a look at just a few of his iconic moments from across the years and then join him at 2pm for the final R1 show of a true radio legend!

Harry Styles from The Wan- One Direction! asking some questions about Nick (otherwise known as ‘How many young stupid models has Grimmy hooked up with?’) x

They had some really sweet things to say about Nick in the last few minutes as this was their final time on air together (plus some lol chat about Scott and Nick’s pop star hook ups)

The intro to Nick’s final week on Radio 1 featuring a montage of some of our all time fave moments
