As part of Radio 1's Access All Areas month, Nick Grimshaw let the audience ask him anything they wanted.

After he came off air at 10am, the Breakfast show host took to Twitter account, external for fifteen minutes and answered questions from listeners.

The quick fire lines of inquiry covered topics like food, dogs and the DJ's famous friends.

Here are some of the key lessons to take away from the grilling.

Grimmy's famous head of hair was the source of a lot of questions and it turns out he keeps something in there.

When asked, 'Is your hair big because it is full of secrets?' he replied: "Yes but sssshhh."

One listener asked about how he finds the motivation to style his hair every morning to which Nick answered: "Its always a mess??!!"

Even if it isn't pristine, at least it's there. The quarter of an hour session also 'uncovered' that his biggest fear is baldness.

He wants to talk to more rappers

The Breakfast show sees A-list stars coming through Radio 1 HQ nearly every day. But there are some people the DJ still wants to meet.

He listed Snoop (Snoop Dogg), Missy (Missy Elliott) and Eminem as people he wanted to interview and said that Miley (Cyrus) & Jared Leto are his favourite guests so far.

He'd be happy living off cheddar and Pizza...

You might think getting up early would consist of fried breakfast and the odd hair of the dog. But if Grimmy had his way he'd be living off pizza. "I loooovvveee pizza," added the 29-year-old host.

One of the more obscure questions asked what his favourite type of cheese is. In case you were wondering, it's "a strong cheddar or parmesan." You're welcome.

The DJ said one place he'd like to visit in the world is "BRAZIL!!!!".

Dressing as female pop stars isn't a strong point

Miming to Justin Bieber and circling Britney Spears with a bed sheet, external would suggest it takes quite a bit to make the Breakfast show host blush.

But when quizzed about the most embarrassing thing he'd ever done the simple response was, "fell over in Lily Allen drag :(."
