After splitting with his girlfriend of eight years, Sophie Waite, last September Chris has had no offer of dates from his listeners. Yep, not one! However Chris believes that there is actually a good reason behind this, in an interview with The Mirror, he said, “I'm obviously a catch. I'm a 'secret crush', I believe the phrase is, for a lot of people but I never get anyone ringing up the show and asking me out. And none of my mates try and set me up either.”
Although it would seem that his friends are a little concerned over who he might end up with, “Gary Barlow's wife Dawn said that as long as I don't end up with one of them from Hollyoaks I'm fine. She's worried I am going to rock up with a Hollyoaks girl. I don't think I want to go out with anyone from Hollyoaks.” To make sure that this will never happen the Radio 1 DJ decided to put his foot down, “In fact, I'd like to say on the record that if you are in Hollyoaks and you are interested, then it is a no. Don't even bother trying - it's a waste of time.” We can hear their hearts shattering into a million pieces!
The split, which reportedly came about after Chris admitted that he wasn’t ready for marriage, has seen him going to the gym in a bid to take better care of himself. "Now I'm single I spend my time relaxing out of work by going to the gym way too much," he said. "I've got David Haye's old trainer, who kills me. I've become obsessed by it all. And I watch what I eat now that I've had to learn to cook for myself and that takes up a lot of my time, especially if I'm not drinking, which I have been trying not to do lately."
Chris Moyles and his team are currently attempting to break the Guiness World Record for the longest show on radio as part of a challenge for Comic Relief. Good work Chris!
