The biggest stars to swing by the Breakfast Show so far this year

6 April 2018

We might have only just entered April (side note: HOW IS IT ALREADY April?!) but Grimmy's had an impressive array of famous faces rock up to his studio and provide us all with LOLs aplenty.

Yup, from Margot Robbie and her worryingly high heart rate to Haim's reign as queens of Breakfast Show chaos, it's safe to say that 2018 is proving to be pretty eventful. Feast your eyes and ears on all of the best bits so far...

Jared Leto revealed exactly what's on his rider

You might think that rock-star-come-Oscar-winner Jared Leto might have a fairly exhaustive and demanding rider but, turns out, you'd be totally wrong.

Jared is a man of few requests while on tour and his rider confirms this. But what exactly does he ask for? Grimmy got to the bottom of it and we're pleasantly surprised with the answer, TBH.

Niall myth-busted some 'facts' about himself

How real are these Niall Horan 'facts'?

Did Niall really suggest that One Direction should be called Niall and the Potatoes?

When Niall swung by the Radio 1 studios to chat about his new single, On The Loose, Grimmy used the opportunity to put on his investigative journalism hat and grill him on a few of the 'facts' he's heard along the way.

J Law dished on her Kardashian obsession

Jennifer Lawrence on Kim Kardashian and FLY EAGLES FLY!

Jennifer Lawrence spoke to Grimmy meeting her all time fav Kim Kardashian.

We learned a lot about Jennifer Lawrence from her chinwag with Grimmy. Did you know, for example, that J Law has been a Keeping Up with the Kardashians super fan since the tender age of 16? No? Consider yourself schooled.

Grimmy sent Margot Robbie's heartbeat soaring

We're calling it: Margot Robbie had the best Heart Rate Monitor Challenge of ALL TIME! Beating out stiff competition from Hazza Styles and Maisie Williams, Margot's turn on the hospital bed proved to be a rollercoaster ride as far as emotions are concerned. From elated to embarrassed and all the feels in between, you don't want to miss this one.

Troye Sivan made a surprise announcement

Troye Sivan & Ariana Grande working together!

Troye Sivan revealed to Grimmy that he's working with Ariana Grande on his new album.

From song-writing inspiration striking while he's on the loo to announcing a very special collaboration, Troye Sivan treated us to some insider info when he paid Grimmy a visit in late February.

Haim gave Grimmy a helping hand on his presenter duties

"We begged the bagel place, we've only got two pesos!" - Haim haven't had any breakfast, or sleep...

Haim join Grimmy on the breakfast show for a Brits after party after party.

Neither Haim nor Grimmy had caught many zzz's the night of the BRIT Awards (we're not entirely sure Haim had slept at all) but that didn't stop them bringing their A-game the morning after. Activities included: gorging on pizza and leaving Cheryl an apologetic voicemail message...

Dua Lipa reflected on her record-breaking year

“The day after the BRITs it’s hangover day” – Dua Lipa is taking a day off!

And no Grimmy, she won't be coming in for an interview tomorrow.

Unlike Haim, Dua Lipa made sure that she was obligation-free post-BRIT Awards, booking the day off work to account for a potential hangover. Did she have one? That's still to be confirmed, but what we do know is that this record-breaker scooped two gongs on the night and paid Grimmy a visit earlier in the day to tell all about conquering the music biz.

Camila Cabello got candid about Blue Ivy and the GRAMMYs

Camila Cabello on THAT Blue Ivy Grammys moment

Camila Cabello spoke to Grimmy about the moment that Blue Ivy shushed Beyonce and Jay Z.

It was undoubtedly one of the biggest talking points from this year's Grammy Awards so, naturally, Grimmy had to get some answers: what did Camila Cabello think of blue Ivy ushering her parents to stop clapping while she was onstage?!?!?!

This (and SO MUCH MORE) within...

Paramore got an education on British TV

Paramore are loving British TV

Whilst on tour here, the American rock band have been enjoying some British TV staples.

Paramore love Gogglebox, that much is true... But what do the musical trio think of Naked Attraction? You'll have to watch and see. Other discoveries include: the existence of a Paramore tribute band and the identity of the 00's boyband that inspired Hayley to bag a fan club membership.
