“Radio 1 gave me so many brilliant chances to see the world’s greatest musicians this close playing live. I’ve had some of the greatest moments of my life. One that stands out which I’ll never forget is, Eminem stood as far as you are away from me now, rapping in my face. And I just stood there going, ‘how is this happening?! This should not be happening. I’m just a girl from suburbs. What’s going on?!'” Fearne Cotton said.

The she continued: “And you see the level of exceptions with someone of his caliber. I have never seen anything so slick in my life. In the rehearsal, he was swearing and cussing and we were like ‘oh my god, I have to interrupt him mid live performance and stop it’. And as soon as he went live, he self-edited like I’ve never seen. He was full of charisma, full of energy. He was, he’s just it! It’s the moments like that that I just feel so lucky to have experienced.”
