EXCLUSIVE: Gok Wan opens up about taking over from Boyzone star Ronan - why radio suits his chatty nature, and the one aspect of his new gig that will take some getting used to...
Gok Wan , beloved fashion guru, DJ and presenter, 50, has a lot on right now, but he couldn't be happier with all the plates he's spinning. As well as an upcoming Christmas charity single in conjunction with Macmillan, in memory of his best friend, Allison Gordon Parry, who had lived with stage 4 breast cancer for many years, before sadly passing away in May, Gok is gearing up to take over from Ronan Keating as a full-time co-host on Magic's Radio. Breakfast Show, from January.
The much-loved star, who recently celebrated his 50th birthday, says he has been on the show for the last few months, finding his feet but admits there is one aspect that is proving tough - the crippling 4am starts. "I like being awake early and talking a lot, so that doesn’t bother me!". he laughs. "But it’s knackering because I have other projects on the go. So, you finish at 10am, go off, do TV, fashion, whatever, then I’m usually DJ-ing at weekends.
