Rickie Haywood-Williams interview
Rickie has been co-hosting the Kiss 100 Breakfast Show with Melvin since 2007. Their on-air chemistry has been a hit with listeners, and now the duo are helping out Nick Grimshaw on Sweat The Small Stuff...
Hi Rickie. What do you 'sweat' over?
I have a love-hate relationship with women's feet. I love to hate them...
My mum having a spare key to my house... Not being able to grow a real beard because grown-ups never respect you...
I have a 'BEST SIDE' when taking photos which causes me to use the same pose in every photo...
Really moany friends. They're mates but they do your head in because all they do is moan at you...
Your cash/credit card being declined through no fault of your own.
Quite a bit then! Do you have a favourite round on the show?
My favourite round is Rickie Vs Melvin. Rickie and Melvin: The Challenges.
Will there be much rivalry between you and Melvin now that you're team captains on opposing teams?
Melvin and I are very competitive with most things. Who has the best clothes, the best car, who can get the nicest girl! So the fact that we're going to have to go against each other every week is going to create even more rivalry as neither of us like losing to the other one.
Who would be your dream guest on your team?
Russell Brand would be my dream guest. 1) He's hilarious, 2) He'd definitely help my team to win and 3) When I met him he said I had 'the look of a young Usher' about me. The pop singer, not the church helper.
You've worked across countless genres - music, radio, documentaries and now a celebrity panel show - what's been your career highlights?
Winning a Sony Gold Award for our radio show, for best breakfast show in the country... Filming our naked advert for MTV... Taking part in the Gumball rally for MTV... Hosting Big Brother's Big Mouth.
Rochelle will be a regular panellist on the show - will you step in as midwife if her waters break in the studio?
Absolutely - however, the deal is, she has to set me up with one of The Saturdays in return (whichever one is single at the time. I'm not fussy).
Who has better hair - Grimmy or Rochelle?
Rochelle's looks better but Grimmy wins because his hair is all his own. Roch is partial to hair extensions.
