The Crush: Nick Grimshaw

He’s the glue that holds the Primrose Hill set together — matchmaker, party planner and gay best friend all rolled into one. Yes, this week we are crushing hard on the new Radio 1 Breakfast Show host, Mr Nick Grimshaw.

Oh to be the DJ’s significant other. He’d invite us for boozy brunches with Alexa Chung, dolmas at Lemonia with Daisy Lowe and pints at The Lansdowne with Pixie Geldof. In summer we’d jet off to Ibiza with Kate Moss and family. But before you say it’s not a real crush if we’re only interested in his starry connections, we also love Grimmy for proper reasons: that top-heavy quiff; the ‘hiya-luv’ Northern twang; his diverse musical tastes (he opened his new show with Jay-Z and Kanye and has since played everything from K-pop’s ‘Gangnam Style’ to The xx’s ‘Angels’); that perma-grin and the fact that he seems like a really nice bloke — how else could he deal with such a high-maintenance social set?

But the thing is, we know this wannabe romance would be destined to fail, not because he’s given up drinking during the week (snore), but because his alarm goes off at 5am. Five days a week. And sorry, but no amount of gallivanting with Mossy is going to make up for that.
