[jencool]

Date confirmed.

Get ready for Jay in the kitchen

<rubs knees>

Oooooh yes please!

My family will be gone by then so I'm going to have a bottle of fizz in and tell DH to sod off out 👍

Not more Grace Dent!

I like her on MC. Fuck that jungle show.

Lovely, lovely Jay ❤️❤️❤️

He's a glorious chunky man.

Here for this with jingle bells on!

OOh, this looks exciting. I'm team Jimi!

Ohhhh we need a klaxon for this @grouchykiwi

@littlbrowndog

Apologies I know I've missed a lot of people off

Sorry I've NC'd, I should have added the klaxon to the post title!

Jimi for me please 😍

Jimi over Jay??

Fab! I knew it was coming but wasn't sure when.

What strange world are we loving in, OP, when ANYONE can be picked over Jay?
im.
Love him. Love love love him

A Mumsnetter who cannot be praised highly enough once dubbed him "Sexy, Dirty Pirate" and that, I think, sums up the man's appeal.

I am rubbing my knees in anticipation also.

My personal Christmas treat

Adds several reminders to google calendar #ADHD and thank you !

@Pebbledashery Just what I need to get me over Christmas, bit of Jay! Sitwell can do one though!

I’m not in the U.K. so I’ll set my alarm to get up early and watch on iPlayer the next day. Can’t wait!

Mmm I don't watch telly anymore, but I'll make an exception for Jay.

Merry Christmas to meeee!

My gosh how exciting, looking forward to this!

Woohoo! I don't normally watch MC but will definitely switch on for this!

My claim to fame is that I once met JR in a jazz club in Leeds (my friend's band was supporting his).

He is everything I thought he'd be and more - a huge presence (both literally and metaphorically), lots of fun and completely hilarious.

I was a big fan before and like him even more now. Will be watching!

More excited for this than my own Christmas lunch tbh ♥
