Nick Grimshaw's fan base may be ever expanding, but he doesn't want the same thing to happen to his waistline.

The new Radio 1 breakfast show DJ says he cannot stop eating thanks to his early starts.

Nick said: "I'm constantly starving. I have my breakfast at 5am when I first wake up. Then I'll eat at 7am and I'll usually get something after the show. I'll have lunch at 12pm and then I'll get another lunch."

"It's been non-stop eating."

Nick, affectionately known as "Grimmers" to his listeners, paid homage to his predecessor, who managed to shed the breakfast show pounds.

He said: "Chris Moyles is the only DJ I know who has ended this show thinner. But I don't feel that I could pull off a fuller figure. I feel it already. It's already started."
