Me and Jack...
I was annoyed yesterday morning that I'd decided to take a holiday when the brilliant Kiefer Sutherland AKA 'Jack Bauer' from the TV show '24' was on with Chris Moyles.
Please listen again to the interview - it was excellent. He was on at about 8:10am.
I am a huge fan of '24' and was gutted that I couldn't hang around after my usual early show to stalk him.
However, in an amazing twist of fate, I was out with a couple of mates last night and he walked in to the restaurant I was in! This wasn't a particularly fancy restaurant and I was just tucking into a pizza when all of a sudden I saw him. I've never been so star struck. I ordered my mate to come with me and take a photo immediately, I'd had a couple of drinks so I was full of courage. Here's the result:
It's everso slightly awkward isn't it.
Here's my favourites that you sent in...
All nice, but a little bit awkward

I was quite drunk and bounded up to him, asking him for a photo. He was very lovely and put up with my drunken waffle!! He put his arms around me and we had a lovely photo taken......despite me looking slightly worse for wear!!!!

It s lovely when you meet your fan and take a picture with him.
I hope he will be your guest in Earlier Breakfast Show..... and I know that you would like that.
