IT WAS hard to miss Jamie Theakston when he began co-presenting Live And Kicking with Zoe Ball on BBC1 in 1996. Not just because he was extremely tall, but because the pair of them ushered in a new era in children's TV. Then there was his high-profile romance with All Saints' Natalie Appleton, which ended publicly.Since leaving children's television, Jamie has presented Top Of The Pops, has his own Radio 1 show and is filming a BBC pilot called Name Droppers. He lives on his own in West London. A thoroughly decent bloke with almost old-fashioned good manners, his sense of humour and boyish charm overcome his quiet reserve.I AM tall. Very tall. I'm 6ft 4ins. Yeah. I think, "Any taller, and I'm bordering on freak height."Freak height. I just miss it. I think 6ft 5ins and up, people tend to go, "Wow, he's tall!" But my height, I'm just right on the cusp. I think.Growing up, I used to get ferocious growing pains. Real actual pain when I was 11 or 12. I had these growth spurts. I used to be literally up all night, with awful pains in my knees. Awful pain.I don't know how to describe it, but I imagine it's what it must be like being on a rack. A kind of, like, real aching, I can only guess, like arthritis. Very noticeable. It would keep you awake, crying.A doctor said, "It's growing pains." Which I guess people don't know much about. And gave me nothing. "It's just growing pains!" Hopefully medicine's changed a bit. Mind you, I don't know what's more brutal. No treatment, or cortisone injections in the knee.Still, it didn't last that long. And I was always grateful for the benefits in sport, being tall. I was mad on football, I was a goalkeeper, and a keen cricketer, still am. It was quite handy.And these days it does have its advantages. Football matches and pop concerts. I get a great view. Which is always a good thing, because I do tend to spend time at both of them. So that's always handy. Small cottages aren't so handy. Beams. Head. Often.The disadvantage is that I have quite bad posture. I tend to stoop. I'm always being reminded to put my shoulders back. And buying clothes! It's that sort of Neanderthal-type, knuckle-dragging arm length. And the leg length.I'm like a bit of chewing gum that's sort of been stretched. I was probably, actually, a normal size, like a normal stick, but it's gone like th-a-a-a-t! Which makes me quite skinny. I never worry about what I eat. And the weight thing has never really been an issue.I've been thirteen-and-a-half stone for as long as I can remember. I've got quite a quick metabolism, I sort of burn food off quite fast.It's probably also to do with my age. I'm sure as men draw towards the end of their 20s, stomachs head south-bound, don't they? I'm 28, so we'll have to wait and see!I used to be quite fit, I go through phases of keenness. But I think there's something quite unattractive about men who go to the gym obsessively.I just think, "My goodness, you could be making yourself far more attractive by going to the theatre and seeing great films, and reading and going out and meeting people. Rather than bursting your muscles trying to make them bigger."I know I work in a very visual medium, and it's important the way people look. But I like to think, maybe naively, that there's more to it than that. I think I'd be a very different person if I spent all the time worrying about my pecs or my profile.Having said that, when I first saw myself on television, I cringed! Which is why I was so amazed at this extraordinary story I was told about my nose. I guess it's all to do with the rise in cosmetic surgery amongst men.Apparently, plastic surgeons have said that men are coming in with pictures of my nose, and asking for "The Theakston." Yeah. My nose! Can you believe it?It's quite flattering. But I'm sure there are more attractive noses to pick! Excuse the joke! Ha ha! It's quite straight, because it's never been broken. Which is quite a miracle when you think of the amount of sport I've played. Yeah. I think that's why I never went on to be any good. I was always getting out of the way!I got into TV completely by chance, although I was very keen on acting, all the way through my childhood, all the way through school in Brighton. Starting in school plays, and then going on to join the National Youth Theatre.RIGHT up until the age of 18, when I decided at the last minute I didn't want to go to drama school. I thought, "I'm fed up, I don't like the people." It was a bit luvvy, and I didn't fit in.In my last year at university a girl I knew at Radio 5 rang, and said, "Would you come and fill in?" To read the traffic bulletins one Monday morning. Someone had dropped out sick at the last minute.I was wracked with nerves, but off the back of that I did more radio. My first TV show was The O-Zone, the music show, which I still do today, four years later. I love it. I've been round the world, met my musical heroes.Zoe and I did three series of Live And Kicking, and we both say it was the best thing we've ever done. We still see each other all the time, and I think that can be quite rare. TV is littered with partnerships that didn't work.And now she's getting married on Saturday! Yeah, I'm looking forward to that. I'm absolutely thrilled for her.You know, she's had a huge crush on me ever since we started doing the show. I just think that she couldn't wait for me any more. Which is why she's gone ahead. It's a rebound thing, it's difficult for her, you know. So this is probably for the best.Seriously, Norman is a cracking guy. He's great, he's got a wicked sense of humour. And he's great for her.The only problem is, I haven't got my outfit sorted out yet. Or a wedding present!I GOT a call from my mother an hour ago, saying, "Do you know what you're going to wear?"I was going to talk to Norman and find out what the dress code is. She said, "Have you got the present?" I was like, "Noooo." Oh dear, I'm so unprepared. I'm sure it'll be the same when I get married.How far off is that day? ME getting married? Oh goodness me, I don't know. Well, if I knew ... I would answer, honestly! I'd like to get married, I'd like to have kids. I think, you know, children are a blessing. But I can't see that happening in the short term.Actually we had a conversation ages ago about marriage, Zoe and me. And out of the two of us, Zoe said, "You'll get married before me. I bet." And now she's doing it first.My relationship with Nathalie, when I was doing Live And Kicking, was a sort of difficult thing to deal with. That attention, the paparazzi. I'm a kind of a private person. Also, when I met Nathalie, it was before All Saints were famous, so I hadn't expected it.A lot's been said about it, a lot written, of which very little was based on fact. But I'm very happy at the moment with my girlfriend. Yeah. Very happy. Oh yeah, Beverley. She's a presenter as well, she does a basketball show on ITV. We're very happy, although we don't live together. We're fine, although it's all a bit new for her. And I love my job. Leaving Live And Kicking was quite liberating. Doing new things, and taking on new challenges. Like being part of the BBC Eclipse broadcast. It was fantastic and did spook me.So I am very lucky. To a certain extent, though, I think you create your own luck. Hackneyed old cliche. But I worked many hours for two years for free, night shifts, on local radio. That was me investing in my luck bank, as it were. But I've been hugely fortunate in the people I've worked with. And I'm in a wonderful position. I've had so many offers, it's a question of juggling. Music shows, sports shows. It's like a jigsaw, plotting the next two years.As long as I can carry on doing what I enjoy, I'm happy, I'm very happy anyway. Friends, family, girlfriend. But being in control of my destiny makes me happy, I'm a hands-on type person, a bit of a control freak, hellish to work with. I may look sweet and innocent, but there's evil underneath! It's that control thing.Right now, I'm standing at a kind of threshold with my career, so the future is exciting. Very exciting. Once, that is, I've managed to get myself organised into buying a wedding present for Zoe and Norman. How organised have I been about that?Frankly, the future's on hold until then!MY COFFEE BEANOS...MY BIGGEST DOWNFALL: Real coffee, ten cups a day easily. I drink it with one sugar and full-cream milk, although my girlfriend's desperately trying to get me on to semi-skimmed. I hate 'diet' anything. I prefer the full Monty Coke, six cans a day. Notice the caffeine theme? Not good.MY HEAD START: I've just come back from a holiday in the Maldives with my girlfriend, where we stayed in this villa. Stunning. In more ways than one. I kept banging my head on this beam each time I went out to admire the view. I ended having to tie a flannel to the beam as a reminder. Otherwise it was a wonderful view ... plus stars.MY FITNESS REGIME: Going to the gym is a willpower thing. Mine is the pounds 100-a-month fee. You feel compelled to go. Having said that, when I joined in January, I went twice a week. I haven't been for a couple of months. I will run myself ragged for 90 minutes round the football field - in a celebrity team with Robbie Williams.MY FRESH START: Every morning I buy the papers, milk, and a nice unsliced white loaf from the baker round the corner. I won't eat bread if it's a day old. As a single man, living on my own, I'm quite good at shopping. I go to Sainsbury's once a fortnight. But I'm not good on fruit and veg.MY WORST HABIT: Smoking, ever since I could. Not very many a day. If I go out I'll smoke 20, otherwise ten. To be honest, I've never thought about giving up, but my girlfriend is very keen on my stopping. So I might give it a go.MY CLOSET SECRETS: I buy jeans in the States, they go up to a 40ins inside leg there. I'm 36. I can't buy suits off-the-peg, I have to have things made. For some reason I was voted Best Dressed Man last year and immediately felt under huge pressure. It's not so bad with shoes, I take a size 10, which is quite small for my height. In a high wind I worry I might topple over!
