How excited am I to be keeping the studio hot seat nice and warm for the new Mrs De Bergolis?!

I love getting to hang out here with the gang at heat. Where I'm actually allowed to talk celeb gossip, play some cool tunes and, of course, indulge in the odd treat from the famous heat chocolate machine! What more can a girl ask for?

We got off to a grand start this week talking to one of my fave stars from Emmerdale, Paul McEwan. What a nice man he was, even though his character definitely isn't so appealing... Watch out for some seriously down and dirty storylines over the coming weeks from Paul (I think he's been studying David Platt on how to be a soap bad guy!).

I'm getting seriously excited about talking to Colin & Justin, those fabulous decorating divas, on Thursday's show. They've got a new show on UKTV Style where they revamp some Canadian houses. Can't wait! I could talk to them for hours about their deco ideas, what I really want to know is which celebrity home they'd like to get their teeth stuck in to next. They've already revamped DJ superstar Tony Blackburn's home and Celebrity Wife Swap star Sam Fox… Maybe if they run out of ideas they could pop round to my place and give it a lick of paint? Please!

We've also managed to find time to give away some seriously HOT tickets to see Duffy, Madness, The Fratelli's and KT Tunstall, and that's before I even get round to mentioning this week's Friday Freebie, which you could be winning in time for the weekend – it's £250 worth of travel vouchers from BA. Just in time for summer!

Rachael's back from Monday, but I'm having so much fun I think I might just keep turning up for the Diet Coke Break everyday next week too!
