Greg, 33, spoke to Katie, 29, last week on his show, when she shared her sad tale of getting dumped by her boyfriend of eight months, just before Valentine’s Day.

She told him: “To make it worse it’s his birthday next week and I’ve spent a lot – a lot – of money on presents.” The DJ replied: “That sucks so bad,” before offering to take her to the prestigious event as his plus one.

Documenting the night via InstaStories, Greg showed them arriving at the BRITs, celeb spotting, watching Hugh Jackman’s performance, and then partying until the early hours. He also confessed to being “drunk” and said Katie was having to look after him.
