Jake Humphrey grew up in Norfolk and now lives in London working as a C´óÏó´«Ã½ presenter.

Here he answers your questions.


Hi how are you? I go to school at Kilgraston where you filmed Rule the School. I was just wondering whether you liked the time you spend in Scotland?

Eleanor Kynaston, age 15 - Perth

Hey Eleanor, Kilgraston was a great place to make Rule The School, not only is it a brill school but the surrounding area is so nice to go for walks and stuff - what a beautiful part of the world to grow up in!

I love Norwich and I can't wait for the new mall to be built. Which do you think is the best part of Norwich. I love the way you can see the cathedral from all around the city.

Rebecca, age 14

Norwich Yeah, the cathedral is beautiful Rebecca, my sisters house has a great view of the city centre! My 2 fave places are either Carrow Road for obvious reasons(!) or my Mum's house - I love going over there for a wicked Sunday roast mmmmmmm!!

How old were you when first had a proper snog with a girl?

Aaron Dion, age 16 - Coventry

Good question Aaron, not sure I can remember that far back!! My first 'girlfriend' was a girl called Michelle who I went to school with in Peterborough, and at the time I thought we would get married and live happily ever after - like every kid does! However, I looked up her profile on Friends Reunited the other day and she is now married with 4 kids!!!

What is the largest amount of people you have ever done a live performance in front of.

Aimee, age 11 - West Midlands

That would be the Queens Golden Jubilee celebration in Birmingham where there were 20,000 people watching and we had a problem with Liberty X's mics and Barney and I had to fill for 7 minutes!!! When there is nothing to say 7 minutes seems like 7 hours!

Will you ever strip in front of the camera?

Jake S

That would be a big fat NO Jake! Not until I have spent months in the gym perfecting a washboard stomach and massive biceps! I have had to wear no top on TV a few times and it is VERY embarrassing!

What sports do you like to watch and play.

Grace, age 11 - York

I really enjoyed the Ashes recently and I also love watching football on TV. In terms of playing sports I have Snowboarded for the GB team in the past which was great fun, apart from that I love Cycling round Richmond Park and going to the gym……..when I can be bothered!

How often do you take a bath?

Daniel, age 11 - Twickenham

I don't even own a bath!!!!! Before you recoil in horror Daniel, I can tell you that I do, however, shower every day. I have such a tiny cottage in South West London(not far from Twickenham!!) that there is no room for a bath….I prefer showers anyway!

Who would you like to pour a bucket of gunge over?

Amy Boyd - Rochester

Angelica from C´óÏó´«Ã½!

Do you like reading the Harry Potter books and what do you think of the new book that has just been released?

Danielle Keen, age 11 - Nuneaton

I haven't actually read the new book Danielle, however we gave a copy of the latest Potter book every 9 minutes for two hours on the Saturday Show this year and got tens of thousands of calls - great fun! I am a Potter fan tho and will definitely be watching the new movie when it is out……I may even go to the premiere.

Have you ever farted during the show? If you did, was it loud and stinky?

Daniel Hodges, age 11 - Coedpoeth, Wrexham

YES!!!! I like to do it just before we go live to try and put off whoever I am working with ….and……9 times out of 10 it works!!!!

hi Jake xxx if you were invisible for a day what would you do and why?

Daniella, age 15 - Batley

I would go into the office of the controller of ´óÏó´«Ã½1's office and write of his note pad…'must remember to give Jake Humphrey a multi-million pound contract to stay at the ´óÏó´«Ã½ for life' then sneak out of the office and wait for the call!!!!

This is a question that has been bugging me 4 ages! On Bamzooki how can you see the zooks and know what they are doing because they are not real?????

Richard - a place in Britain

Richard, that is one of the best kept secrets in TV and I would reveal to you the deepest, darkest secrets of BAMZOOKi, but unfortunately I have now run out of space to type…………………..whoops!

Does your work life affect your family life?

Emily Buckingham, age 11 - Surrey

It can do Emily. My girlfriend Harriet hates it when I am away and doesn't like being in the house on her own which was a problem when I made the Saturday Show! The programme was made in Scotland and I was away 2 nights a week for 7 months!!!!! But I am back in London 7 days a week now and I have promised not to go away again! This kind of job requires massive dedication and strange hours of work. All my family understand though. I even missed my sisters wedding because I was presenting Sportsround!!!!!
