Wake up with the right Spirit

Nick Hobbs - Host of Saturday's Breakfast Show

Nick Hobbs is Spirit FM's Breakfast Show host on a Saturday. As a result, he tries to curtail his booze consumption the night before. A Bognor boy born and bred, Nick is a bit of a legend in these parts..

When he's not waking up the best part of Sussex on a Saturday

he can often be found trying to complete his collection of top class 80s and 90s soul and dance music. He's not got too far to go!.

Career Highlight
Getting the Saturday Breakfast Show on Spirit FM - apart from being a bright and fast moving show, the opportunity of waking up with so many people at the same time has always been a great desire ... if you get my drift!

Hobby
DIY, although not the best in the world - people say to me that in my case DIY stands for 'Damage It Yourself' Hobbsie!.

Favourite part of the area
Has to be Amberley - itís so quiet and peaceful. We used to frequent the place with the family - picnics down by the river was always a fave and the long Sunday afternoon walks - it always makes you proud to live in South West Sussex and realise how lucky we are!

Embarrassing Moment
Sitting in a Bognor Regis pub on a karaoke night with some friends - quietly as you do in the corner - and being called up to sing. I had no choice in the matter and reluctantly did it ... and if anyone knows what I sound like when I sing, well the less said about that the better!

Hero/Heroine
Paul Whitehouse from 'The Fast Show'. His ability to make you laugh at some of life's simplest situations and his characters that everyone can relate to and talks about is, in my opinion, one of this country's best talents. Suits you, sir!
