  • Meanwhile, Darth Vader was waiting for Chris in reception...
  • The Stormtroopers led the birthday boy to Maida Vale Studio 1
  • Where he was greeted by the BBC Concert Orchestra playing the Star Wars theme!
  • What a birthday welcome
  • The Chris Moyles jingle singers were there too
  • Chris gets another surprise...
  • It's Pixie Lott!
  • She did a special version of All About Tonight with the orchestra, lyrics adapted for Chris
  • Thank you Pixie!
  • As if that's not enough glamour, Sara Cox popped out of a cake!
  • She went all Marilyn on Chris, with spectacular results
  • JLS also surprised Chris with an acapella version of Happy Birthday
  • And that's not all...
  • Yes, One Direction joined us too!
  • The boys sang their hearts out for Chris

  • Chris with his boyband family
  • Our amazing orchestra is back on...
  • ... this time performing one of the Chris Moyles Show's epic jingles
  • Finally, Jimmy Carr and Orisha from JLS battle it out in Car Park Catchphrase - complete with miniature cars
