Also an accomplished writer, Josh has written regularly for Guardian Sports.

Josh will return to Channel 4 this summer for a second series of The Last Leg alongside Adam Hills and Alex Brooker. Josh also continues to host his very own weekend radio show on XFM between 10 and 1pm on Saturdays.

Josh will also be filming his debut DVD Greatest Hits So Far... at the Hammersmith Apollo on 26th September. The DVD will be released by Universal Pictures (UK) in November 2013 **tickets available now!**
