As Jim & Niamh are still on holidays, we're playing the best bits of the show.. (never have we seen such abuse of the word 'best') - and tomorrow you'll once again get to hear the Eurovision call to Helsinki where I showcase my song "Coconuts".

Here it is, in all it's glory. The Coconuts song...

Chanelle - On Yer Bike

REWIND!!!


It's hard to keep up with all the Big Brother action over the last few days. But today, we all gathered around the television in the studio to watch Chanelle leave the house. Myself and Hazel Nolan were glued to the screen. The poor twins were hysterical as Chanelle finally left...


The FM104 Bike

Yes, the FM104 bike... some say we have more than one... but the Goregous Mark Noble decided to go for a spin on it at lunchtime. Watch the hilarious video below... he was even nice enough to give the lovely Clare a spin on the back - until he crashed it through a door! If only he treated his bike like he does his car...

Dramatic Weekend On Big Brother!

Oh, the drama on Big Brother. What a weekend it has been! Charley has left, 5 new "Halfway" housemates have entered, Chanelle and Ziggy split, The Fire Alarm causes an evacuation, Chanelle has had enough and leaves, Channel 4 report she has left, then she goes back in...

Ok, in the next few hours we will see two new housemates enter the main house, with a chance of winning the show. It's hard to tell who will be chosen, but I think it's safe to say it won't be Jonty.

Could you imagine living with his guy???




Don't miss it, live tonight on Channel 4.


Strawberry Fun

Ben is in again this week for Jim & Niamh. He has loads of great stuff to give away with thanks to 53 Degrees North. He's playing 5 in 10 all week, and you'll have to go up against Ben's massive 10 sec. Clock!!!

Big Brother and Pink Pigs

So, Jim and Niamh are gone on their holidays for two weeks in their pokey caravan in Wexford. I swear, the Strawberry office never looked so clean. Niamh is like a tornado, she leaves a trail of destruction behind her. Not only that, but it's very quiet in here.

The lovely Ben Murray is looking after things this week, he made me a gorgeous cup of tea this morning which makes a nice change... Niamh would watch you die of dehydration before she'd put the kettle on.

This week on the show, Ben is throwing his money around... you could win a savings account with €5,000 to get you started, so listen in to play all week. It's with thanks to the wonderful bankers in the Bank Of Ireland, they're celebrating their advice week!


Big Brother Hostel


It's twist time in the house this week. I'm hearing talk of 5 new housemates entering a special hostel next door to the main house. Only two of the new group will make it into the main Big Brother house. And the interesting thing this year, is that the housemates will apparently get to choose which two of the new group get to make it into the house. They will be able to watch the hostel on a the plasma screens. Expect it all to kick off this weekend!

This Little Piggy...

So there we all were having lunch in the luxurious surroundings of the FM104 Greenroom when we hear a commotion, then Mark Noble is paged to reception and waiting for him is a Giant Pink Pig... now for anybody who knows Mark, it's fair to say he doesn't do pink... as much as I've tried to persuade him to try pink things, he won't budge. So we decided to capture this glorious moment on film for all to see. My favourite bit is at the end where he's forced to wave.. just look at how happy he is!!!!! hahaha



Thanks to Pigsback for supplying the pig and the fairy cakes!

No More Rain!!!!

REWIND!!!

Hiyas, what a day. I'm just back from a gorgeous FM104 lunch... it was lovely except we all got caught in the rain, I'm soaked. What is going on with the weather???... I swear, that Evelyn Cusack has a lot to answer for. It's grand for her doing her weather and mentioning a chance of rain, but that's no help to me running through Ballsbridge with fake tan running everywhere...

The Simpsons

I'm loving the competition on the Strawberry this week. I'm a massive fan of The Simpsons and I'm getting all the questions right, but Jim says I can't enter the competition because I'm staff, and it would look bad... I suppose, if anybody knows about looking bad it's Jim Mc Cabe!!!!

Anyway, you should try get through this week, the prize is only gorgeous! It includes flights to London (and hopefully home again), you'll get to see the premiere of the new Simpsons movie and you'll get put up in a top London hotel. I've been to London loads of times modeling and it's a great place... you should check out Big Ben - he's a lovely guy!




Big Brother!


What a week we're having in the house this week. It's Nikki v Gerry this Friday and we all think it's gonna be Nikki getting the boot. She is a walking bag of misery and needs to be evicted.

We think Gerry and his Monkey will be around for a few weeks yet.

As requested, here is the update from earlier!

Hunk Alert!!!

REWIND!!!

Oh what a morning... every now and then we get nice looking guy in the station, but this morning it was like all our birthdays had come together. In my opinion we've had too many cute girlies on the show, I mean, nothing against Andrea Corr or Natasha Bedingfield, but it needs to improve on the men side of things. Niamh and myself have been starved of proper eye candy for too long!

Ahhhhh John Maguire... Now if there is one person who fancies John Maguire as much as me it's Niamh Crowley. To surprise her, nobody told her he was coming onto the show, so during her link John walked into the studio to surprise her.. oh it was great.

And for fans of John, the last episode of the current series of "I'm An Adult..." is on RTE 2 tomorrow night at 9.30.


This is the moment Niamh sees john walk into studio...

Meal Or No Meal

REWIND!

Hiya, just a quick post. Jim & Niamh are buying me lunch... although knowing them it'll be a cheap sandwich, a bag of crisps and a bottle of some fizzy crap. Niamh's idea of posh lunch is when she eats a sandwich off a plate... that's what I'm dealing with here!

Anyway, just to let you know, You can catch my latest adventure tomorrow morning at 8.15 when you'll hear what happened with me on Deal Or No Deal.

Have a great day... don't forget BB tonight!

Niamh took my photo earlier today, I wasn't going to allow it because my face is worth millions. But you can have a little small picture for the blog, only cos I love you all... and because I just bought loads of stuff in BT, so I'm in a great mood!

Big Brother Fake Week.

Oh I'm so excited about tonights Big Brother highlight show. We finally get to see Pauline enter the house. Word is, that Carole is really suspicious and has almost blown Pauline's cover.

Rihanna Feat. Pierre - Smelly Fella

You've all been requesting it. It's the lovely Rihanna, featuring me as guest vocalist. It's the Smelly Fella song!

Crazy Niamh

They say getting caught up in a blizzard can be dangerous, well I took my chances this morning when The Blizzards came into Jim & Niamh. I saw them on the Miriam O'Callaghan show last weekend and they were gorgeous, especially the guy with the white t-shirt, so I was beside myself with excitement when they popped in after 9.

Speaking of Miriam O'Callaghan, how great is her new show? The set is like my sitting room and Miriam looks better than ever!

Niamh gave me a slap earlier because I made a fake ad slagging her off... it doesn't take much effort! We took her "nnneeeyyyahhh" line and made it into a ringtone ad.

Everyone in the station is talking about Big Brother, who is going to go on Friday? Well, we're putting our money on Laura. She has shown her true colours and we want her out. Besides, the car crash that is "Zig-elle" make great TV, so keep them together for as long as possible.

Panic in the studio


REWIND!

I don't know who's idea it was, but I'm still traumatised! How can one simple slice of toast cause such drama. I walk into the Strawberry studio and through the glass doors I see Niamh and Andy making FM104 toast . So Jim and myself went in, and we were quickly joined by Dangerous Deano, dressed in his security uniform, carrying the butter for the toast.
So there we all are, the 5 of us standing, watching this thing slowly toast the logo of Fm104 onto a slice of Brennan's finest. Exciting!

With that, absolute panic erupts. The fire alarm goes off and we all realise it's the bloody toaster! Now, I've been in stressful situations before at modeling shoots but this was crazy, I started screaming trying to get out, Andy is ripping the plug out of the wall, poor Jim looks stunned and Niamh, being the professional, decides to run back to grab the slice pan. There we were running out of the studio, knowing that we were trouble.

As we run from the scene, the rest of the FM104 staff noticed something wasn't right, especially when I was screaming even louder than normal, Andy is trying to dump a toaster, Dangerous Deano and Jim are trying to look extra cool like nothing is wrong and Niamh is carrying half a sliced pan of bread under her arm.

We were forced to walk down the 3 fights of stairs, mingling with loads of bankers (not for the first time in my life) and out to our Fire assembley point, which is actually just a lamp post! I'm getting onto management about this, there should be a panic room erected on Pembroke Road filled with refreshments. Poor Andy Preston was forced off air too and everyone was forced out into the cold.

Luckily Andy Matthews got all the blame for setting off the alarm which myself and Niamh are delighted about. We all managed to eventually get back into the studio, but by then we were all wrecked. I had to go shopping to help deal with the stress, so I've spent loads of money in BT on my way home and I'm settling in to watch Big Brother live streaming to get me back to normal.

Join me in the morning at 8.15 - You'll hear about my new job on "401fm" where my plans to book Shelly's party go wrong.

Cyas!


I like this photo of Jim & Sandra. It's like CSI Miami gone horribly wrong!
