00:00Tom, I'm looking at you, mate, and I'm thinking, I shouldn't have worn a shirt today.

00:03I should have just turned up. Without a shirt, it would have been fine.

00:05Do you know what? I'm actually getting burned.

00:08Really? Have you got some spray on there?

00:10I put Factor 30 on, but I think I might need 50.

00:13I'll tell you, I've got some Factor 50 in my bag if you want to.

00:15Send it my way.

00:15I'll give you a quick spray before you go.

00:17Mate, the BAFTAs.

00:18Yeah, I'll be ready.

00:19I mean, but it's like you're at the Brit Awards.

00:21That's your wheelhouse.

00:22When you're at an event like this, do you kind of go back to being a kid again,

00:27sat at a hall, watching TV and being amazed at what's going on?

00:30Definitely. Like, you go into rehearsals the first day, yesterday,

00:34and you see everybody who's going to be sat in front of you.

00:37You go, oh my God, there's like Ant and Dec, there's Big Zoo and AJ,

00:41there's like Stacey Solomon, there's so many people that you're like,

00:47I love every single one of you.

00:49And you don't believe that.

00:51Because they're on the TV, I still get this.

00:54It's like they're not real, do you know what I mean?

00:57When you see them in real life, you're like, oh my God, you actually are a real person.

01:00And I'm looking forward to meeting every single one of them.

01:03So it must be a weird dynamic.

01:04It's a bit like actors when you meet football players and vice versa.

01:07If you're in a different sphere, even if you're super famous for being a musician,

01:11being an athlete, being a TV star, an actor, whatever it is,

01:14because it's like across the veil kind of thing,

01:17do you see them as people who aren't real almost?

01:19Yeah, it's weird.

01:20Who are you most nervous or excited to rush over this with today?

01:25Martin Freeman.

01:25Yeah, yeah, yeah.

01:26Nice.

01:27Big legend.

01:28I'm not nervous about it.

01:30I've just mentioned her because I love her.

01:31Yeah, yeah.

01:32Stacey Solomon.

01:33Love her.

01:34And Joe.

01:35The Dyers.

01:37Yeah.

01:37Two Danny Dyers.

01:38Like, Danny's new film that just came out, Unreal.

01:42And their podcast I listen to a lot.

01:44There's so many people here that you go, oh my God, yeah, there's you, there's you.

01:49I've seen you in this, you in this.

01:50Do you get time to watch for much?

01:52Because when you're on tour, when you're recording, when you're gigging,

01:55you're on a probably different schedule to most people would be on.

01:58So when do you actually get to sit down and watch them and what do you watch?

02:01Listen, I really believe that TV is an important thing for me anyway,

02:07because it's my switch off.

02:08So at the moment, like, I love the great property throwdown, Unreal.

02:13Siobhan's here as well.

02:14So looking forward to speaking to her.

02:16Shows like that, really.

02:17I do like a reality show as well, I'm not going to lie.

02:21Just because it's just like, you're not really watching it,

02:24but you know what's going.

02:25Yeah, yeah.

02:26Do you know what I mean?

02:27Finally, what have you got coming up next, man?

02:29What are we putting in our diaries?

02:30Well, today I'm singing my new song, my new single, which is out.

02:34And then I've got a big tour coming up, album coming out, and yeah,

02:39just more music, man.

02:40And then hopefully, soon enough, I'll be doing a bit of acting as well.

02:44Looking forward to that, man.

02:45Maybe we'll see you in a year or two back here for another reason.

02:49Then you'll be nervous.

02:50Yeah, never, no.

02:50You might put a shirt on for that.

02:51Nah, never.
