Greg James

Greg James likes to think of himself as a
celebrated radio presenter, author and
legend. Your kids might have read one of
his children’s books. Chances are either Kid
Normal
or The Twits Next Door as they’re
the ones that sold well. If not, you might
well have heard him on Radio 1 where he
has been since 2007 and on the prestigious
Breakfast Show since 2018. As well as all
this and enjoying faffing about online and
on the TV, he hosts many podcasts. Some
might say too many. They include Tailenders
and The Fast and the Curious. And in the summer of 2025, he was presented with an honorary doctorate by the University of York for his service to dead ducks. Greg lives
with his wife, Bella Mackie (a much more
successful and talented author), and their
dog, Barney (not yet an author but it’s only a
matter of time), in a house somewhere in
the world.
