Nick's guest is artist, Broadway star and two-time Ru Paul's Drag Race champion, Jinkx Monsoon. Jinkx stars as Judy Garland in the new Soho Theatre Walthamstow production of End of the Rainbow, set in London in 1968.

Also on the show, Nick chats to film and TV critic Rhianna Dhillon who shares her recommendations of what to watch this weekend. And as always, Nick has tonnes of brilliant music to start your day, including the Cloudbusting mix - an uplifting hour of songs to banish the grey skies.
