BRIAN Dowling shared his nerves ahead of his “first day on the job” at a new radio gig.
The Six O’Clock Show host announced he would be filling in for Today FM host Dave Moore this week while he’s away on holiday.
Brian, who recently quit his role at 98FM after three years, was delighted to reveal he would be back on the airwaves so soon.
The 47-year-old hosted his first show on Today FM this morning from 9am to 12pm.
But, even though the star is a seasoned radio host, he still confessed to being nervous before the gig.
Taking to Instagram this morning, the Big Brother star said: “It’s my first day in for Dave Moore and Jen Zamparelli is in the following week.
“I’m a little bit nervous, but I think its good nerves and once I get the first show out of the way I’ll be fine.”
The dad-of-two was up bright and early at 6am to get ready before the show.
He added: “I just want to be prepared. But I’ll be chatting to you guys from 9 to 12, see you in a bit.”
And it’s safe to say Brian’s first show went smoothly as he returned to his Instagram story afterwards to share his thoughts.
The TV star gushed: “Thank you all so much for your gorgeous messages regarding my guest slot in for Dave Moore.
“I honestly had so much fun, but I’m not going to lie I was very nervous because I was doing it on my own.
“It was a lot of pressure, but the team there basically held my hand through it. It did not feel like three hours. I had a blast.”
Next week, Dancing With The Stars host Jennifer Zamparelli will be taking over from Brian for the 9 to 12 slot.
Jennifer recorded a video of herself and Brian in the Today FM studio last week and said that she’s “very disappointed” that they won’t be co-hosting the show together.
DYNAMIC DUO
Brian replied: “They lied to us.”
Jennifer joked: “Who is the boss? We thought we were doing it together.”
Brian added: “I think they’re afraid to put us together.”
Jennifer responded: “It would be too good I think. That would be f***ing magic, wouldn’t it?”
While Dave, who looked very excited to be going on his holidays, shared a farewell video to his listeners showing off Brian and Jen saying: “My presenters are here, my replacements are here.
“Look after them, will you? Have a good time, I’ll be on the beach.”
