Watch moment Radio 1 star sings to the entire restaurant on romantic date with wife – leaving diners shocked
THIS is the moment that a Radio 1 star left onlookers shocked when he got up out of his seat while having dinner to croon a song to the entire restaurant.
Singing White Christmas in front of a packed restaurant, BBC Radio 1‘s Greg James, 39, left onlookers and fellow diners gobsmacked when he started to croon the iconic Christmas hit over the weekend.
Out for dinner with his wife Bella Mackie, 41, Greg decided to get up from his seat and walk over to the man playing a piano in the swanky eatery after his wife asked him to go and sing.
The beloved host could be seen holding a microphone in one hand, and his drink in another, while standing beside the man playing the piano in the restaurant.
Crooning White Christmas, Greg stunned onlookers with his silky smooth vocals, with some fans online saying he sounded better than Michael Bublé.
The video surfaced on social media when Greg’s wife Bella shared a slew of videos and photos to commemorate the radio host’s birthday, which happens to be today.
“Happy birthday to the best one,” she penned in the caption.
He got up and sang in a restaurant on Saturday night just because I asked him to (and absolutely nailed it?). I love you so much it’s silly @greg_james,” she concluded.
Greg then commented on the post and wrote: “Oh no! You posted this video of me absolutely nailing White Christmas! I told you not to!
“It’s so embarrassing and definitely didn’t start the show with it today because I’m so cringed out by how bad it is,” he added.
Fans went wild in the comments section with one person writing: “So he can sing as well?!”
‘THE MOST BEAUTIFUL COUPLE EVER’
While a second person said: “Michael Bublé who?”
“You two are the most beautiful couple ever, you really complement each other,” swooned a third.
A fourth person then wrote: “Amazing!! You’re a great singer as well as an outstanding broadcaster!! We absolutely love you @greg_james.”
While a fifth said: “Nailed it! Such a beautiful couple! Happy birthday Greg!”
And a sixth added: “You found yourself a great guy Bella. He’s a wonderful soul with a very kind heart and brilliant approach to fun and divilment. Happy birthday @greg_james.”
LOVE AND MARRIAGE
Lewisham-born Greg and How To Kill Your Family author Bella have been married for more than six years.
They got hitched in September 2018 in a small and intimate ceremony.
For their special day, Bella wore a yellow gown and a glamorous silver headpiece.
The married couple have a BBC Radio 5 Live podcast called Teach Me A Lesson with Greg James and Bella Mackie.
According to reports, the couple have decided not to have children.
Bella wrote an essay for The Times about her miscarriage in 2020.
“It was a surprise and only lasted for about three weeks; it could barely be called a miscarriage,” she wrote in her essay.
“But even in that brief window, my mental health plummeted dramatically. I started having constant intrusive thoughts, my OCD roared back and I couldn’t stop crying,” she said.
And Greg previously said that he doesn’t want to sacrifice the life he has with Bella in order to have kids.
“Bella and I want to live abroad one day and be able to move quickly and spontaneously,” Greg penned in an essay for The i Paper in 2023.
“I also love going out whenever I want, I love sitting at the cricket all day, I like planning last minute trips, staying up late at the weekend and sleeping until midday,” he said.
