Take a Skyride! |
 |
| Gethin was at a photoshoot promoting 'Skyride', during which he will be cycling 500 miles to events in different cities around the country.

I'm having to go further than I've ever been before on a bike." Check out the Skyride website. |

Where did you get that hat? |
 |
| More to the point - where IS Gethin's hat? He must have had one! Gethin, looking dapper in tails, and girlfriend Katherine Jenkins, pretty in pink, enjoyed a day out at Royal Ascot. Gethin called on some beginner's luck (his words) to pick 3 out of 5 winners. That will pay for the champagne then! |
| Thursday 4th June |
No more lenses for Gethin! |
 |
| Gethin is having his eyes 'lasered' - as we know he is very myopic - so this means no more lenses or glasses. Some of us are a little sad about this, and he needs to take the advice of Homer Simpson, 'DON'T FORGET THE EYE DROPS!' |
| Tuesday 2nd June |
L'Oréal Professionnel Awards |
 |
| Gethin was at the Grand Final of this year's 'L'Oréal Professionnel Colour Trophy' at Earls Court on Monday 1st June 2009. The audience reacted to presenter Gethin Jones with 'rapturous delight' and appreciated his 'charming wit'! A video clip is available here |

Radio Star! |
|
| Gethin rejoins BBC Radio 5 Live (and if anyone has a 'face for radio' it is definitely not gorgeous Gethin Jones!) on Saturdays from 6th June - 29th August, 9 - 11 am |
| A small reminder of the shenanigans that went on last year on Radio 5 Live, when the wonderful Fron choir created some new words to old tunes: Fron Choir (1) - Mae Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau (Land of My Fathers) Fron Choir (2) - Cwm Rhondda (Guide Me, O Thou Great Redeemer/Bread of Heaven) Fron Choir (3) - Men of Harlech |

Update Wednesday 20th May |

| The 18th BAFTA Cymru awards will once again be held at Cardiff's Wales Millennium Centre on Sunday 17th May. Delighted to be returning as host, Gethin Jones says: "I can't wait to return to the WMC for the 18th Welsh BAFTA’s. Last year once again proved what tremendous talent Wales has to offer in all aspects of broadcasting and interactive media and some true stars took to the stage. I have no doubt this year’s ceremony will be another huge success and I wish all the nominees the very best of luck. Pob lwc i chi gyd" |
