Introducing your new Radio 1 drive time show - Going Home with Vick, Katie and Jamie! I’m still in shock at this news tbh, co-hosting Radio 1 drive is beyond my wildest dreams, I feel like I’m living in a simulation.

- Pretty convinced @jordannorth1 is the most loved man in the UK. Seeing how people react to him is just lovely. The nation’s sweetheart and so he should be. Time for the LAST 3 MILES 🚣♀️
- I am the type of person who is horrendously socially anxious but also I think I’m funny and use humour to get people to like me so in every social situation/when I’m on TV or radio, I make a joke and then worry for 6 months that i’ve offended someone. It’s a curse. Anyone else?
- Got ‘Burnley’ drunk tonight and sicked up my chicken nuggets. What a night @jordannorth1
- One of those proper hard mums @MrsGiFletcher isn’t she, reminds me of my mum and my sister. Can do anything and with a load of kids hanging off her arms, no messing, takes no prisoners
- Things people always say on holiday: ‘Pool’s cold when you first get in but then it’s nice after that’
- Just got drunk in a bar in Manchester and met loads of @jordannorth1 fans and FaceTimed him and I may have ruined our friendship
- Fun fact I have the same wingspan as a peregrine falcon. I’ve also now got my own show on @BBCR1 on Friday and Saturday mornings. Mega chuffed as I’ve never had my own show full time and I get to bring you anthems and loads of fun stuff from my beloved @mediacityuk in Salford
- Both of these are a very big part of my life right now but you mustn’t get them confused.
- Hanging up my NHS pass today (for the second time in my career actually) after a year of seeing patients as a trainee counsellor and 3 years of studying, and last week I found out I’ve passed!
