About Michael

My hometown before MK - I’m an Essex boy, although if anyone asks I tell people I’m from ‘East London’. Sounds slightly less ‘TOWIE’. Haha.

The best thing about Milton Keynes – That Bletchley Park is here. We basically saved the world. #JustSayin

My first jobs – I was a lifeguard for many years. I enjoyed sitting in the chair and chatting to the customers, but there was also a lot of toilet cleaning involved and I really don’t miss that part of the job.

When I’m not on the radio – I’m a keen photographer and a bit of a technology nerd.

My favourite artists we play are – Jess Glynne and Ed Sheeran. And, of course, any of the old-skool bangers. I try and squeeze in Shaggy as often as I can!!!

If I won on the MK Secret Sound – I’ve always wanted to try a Michelin star restaurant but never been able to justify spending that much money on a dinner!!

Favourite Food – Steak (medium rare) with Chunky Chips. Apple crumble and custard for dessert.

I dislike – Vaseline. It’s like it doesn’t know if it’s a liquid or a solid. Gross.

Apart from my show, my favourite show on MKFM - THANK GREG IT’S FRIDAY. 6-7 Fridays with Greg is a must listen. Hello Weekend!
