Nick Grimshaw has revealed it was friendship at first sight when he met Cheryl Fernandez-Versini - because she was using a "plastic bottle as an ash tray".
The BBC Radio 1 DJ was a big fan of the former Girls Aloud singer before he joined her on the judging panel of 'The X Factor' and was nervous before meeting her.
But Grimmy's nerves disappeared when he introduced himself to her because she was so down-to-earth and enjoying a cigarette.
Grimmy was speaking to Chris Evans on his Breakfast Show on Thursday morning (15.10.15), when Chris enquired what he should ask the ' I Don't Care' hitmaker when she is a guest on his chat show 'TFI Friday'.
Grimmy told him: "What I love about Cheryl ... I was into Cheryl and I thought I was a Cheryl fan, but what sealed the deal for me was when I went and met her before we did the show and she was smoking fags in a tracksuit and she was using a plastic Fanta bottle as an ash tray. I thought, 'Me and you are going to be friends.' "
During the interview, Chris also revealed that Duran Duran and Take That are confirmed to perform on the new series of 'TFI Friday' - which returned to screens this year to mark its 20th anniversary.
The flame-haired presenter let slip: "I think there is a certain allure to 'TFI Friday'. Take That never got to play 'TFI Friday' because they split up in 1996, which is when 'TFI Friday' started so there are a few bands who never got to play it who are now back on the scenes. Duran Duran never played 'TFI Friday' they are playing in a couple weeks' time."
'TFI Friday' returns on Channel 4 this Friday (16.10.15) at 8.00pm.

Austin Armacost wants to take James Hill to America and turn him into a "country boy" for a new reality TV show.
The hunky star became great pals with James while they were on 'Celebrity Big Brother' together and their friendship is going from strength-to-strength since they left the house.
And Austin - who was raised in Indiana and now lives in Huddersfield in the US - has come up with a great idea for a programme which would see Brit James, who is from Chesterfield, live off the land in the States.
Speaking to BANG Showbiz at the Attitude Awards in London on Wednesday night (14.10.15), Austin said: "I think James coming to America and seeing the way I live would be a complete shock to him. I would make him change - no hair products, no tanning creams! I want to make him a little country boy, show him the country style..."
James is definitely up for making a reality show with his pal Austin and says they've already had discussions about shooting something as a pair.
The 'CBB' winner revealed: "It's got to happen, the fans have given us a driving force. We're in talks with various companies, so there are various new opportunities on the horizon."
Although they have been virtually inseparable since 'Big Brother' ended, the guys have also stayed in touch with some of their other housemates - but not Farrah Abraham and Jenna Jameson.
James said: "I've kept in touch with Bobby Davro and Fatman Scoop, I've exchanged a few messages with Stevi (Ritchie) and Chloe (Jasmine) but realistically it's been all about me and Austin - we've kept that bromance up haven't we? Since we've come out it its been a whirlwind, we've not had five minutes. Eventually, when it calms down, we can catch up with the former housemates because there were some nice people in there."
James and Austin were joined by a host of other stars at the glitzy event, including Boy George, Antony Cotton, Lorraine Kelly and Adam Lambert.

Jimmy Bullard "can't read" an autocue.
The retired soccer star is preparing to present his new TV show 'Jimmy Bullard Kicks Off' on London Live with Kiri Bloore but after struggling with the teleprompter in rehearsals he's decided to ditch the gadget.
Instead wise-cracking Jimmy is going to speak off the cuff on the programme.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he revealed: "In the practice and pilots, I tried doing the autocue and it wasn't me. It was too wooden. I can't read it properly. In my last one, I had a meltdown, I had a massive meltdown. We had a meeting and I just said, 'Look, I can't do this.' So I'm just going to be myself - my random self and I'm going to enjoy it."
Jimmy's post-football TV break came on 'I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here!' where he had loads of "banter" with his campmates Jake Quickenden and Carl Fogarty.
The 36-year-old sportsman is really excited about 'Jimmy Bullard Kicks Off' but he's up for doing a variety of shows and is keen on a stint on 'Strictly Come Dancing' but he doesn't think his fiancée Diane will let him compete on the ballroom because of the alleged 'curse of Strictly' which splits couples up.
He quipped: "The dancing one I'd quite enjoy. I don't think the missus would let me though, because they all have affairs on that show, don't they?
"Imagine that. I'd be like, 'Di, I'm going to do the dancing one.' She'd turn her nose up straight away. It would be a bit awkward. But I'd love to do it."
'Jimmy Bullard Kicks Off' will be launching on Friday (16.10.15) at 7pm on London Live, Freeview 8, YouView 8, Sky 117 and Virgin 159 or watch live online www.LondonLive.co.uk

James Martin has announced his first ever tour 'Plates, Mates & Automobiles' and insists it is going to be a unique live experience.
The 'Saturday Kitchen' host is uniting his two main passions in life, cooking and cars, for a show he is taking across the UK and he has promised he has a few tricks up his sleeve to make it unforgettable, including a stunt he's been in serious training for.
Speaking exclusively to BANG Showbiz, he said: "I've never done it (food) as a gimmick, it's never been a p**s take. It's always been a serious thing ... Some of the things I'm doing will never be seen again. One of the things I'm doing for the tour I've literally been training seven days a week."
The 25-date tour - which kicks off in Glasgow, Scotland, and takes James to his most coveted venue, the Apollo in London - will see a string of celebrities join him on stage but the 43-year-old presenter won't invite along any "prima donnas".
James revealed: "I don't do all this prima donna bull. The big 'I am' ... I like good honest people and great friends. And that's always been my life. It's always been about the food. But you meet people along the way.
"I've watched other chefs do their (tour) thing and a lot of the ones I've seen is about themselves, like, 'Isn't life wonderful? Look at me.' And then the other ones that are about food predominantly can be quite boring because it's, 'Oh here's another scone recipe.' Not interested in that ... I enjoy car collecting and bike collecting. There'll be a few of those on stage. We'll be talking about that, but I don't want it to be a manly, blokey thing. So it's what I've done all my life. I think they'll be a lot of women there."

James Jordan has accused 'Strictly Come Dancing' judge Craig Revel Horwood of being a "vile" hypocrite.
The 37-year-old dancer - who was professional on the BBC dance contest until 2013 - has spoken out after Craig claimed his wife Ola Jordan should be banned from making sexy calendars because 'Strictly' is a "family show".
James said: "How can he say it's not OK to sell a sexy Christmas calendar, but it is OK to sell his own book telling the world he was a drunken rent boy, and call it 'All Balls and Glitter'?
"Innuendo, anyone? Is that what a 'family show' is all about, Craig?"
James went on to insist that Craig - who has been in a relationship with former 'Britain's Got Talent' contestant Damon Scott since 2013 - wouldn't have complained if one of Ola's male colleagues had posed for raunchy photos for a calendar shoot.
He told Best magazine: "I'm pretty sure if one of the male dancers had brought out a calendar pouring milk over himself, he wouldn't have reacted in the same way."
And the former 'Celebrity Big Brother' contestant claimed his wife has no choice but to earn money from other ventures because she's not paid enough to be on the show.
James added: "Like most of the dancers on 'Strictly', Ola has to earn money.
"We have bills to pay and, I can assure you, the professional dancers are paid a lot less than the [judging] panel for working flipping hard .
"They are training for up to 14 hours a day. Meanwhile, the judges are reportedly getting £110,000 for one day a week."

'EastEnders' actress Samantha Womack's stalker is to receive psychiatric help.
Peter Rombough, 22, will receive professional help after he pleaded guilty to stalking the 42-year-old soap star following her decision to report him to the police for delivering hand written love letters to and camping outside of her family home in Bedfordshire.
Nicole Burton of the defence told Luton Magistrates' Court: "A psychiatric team in Norfolk will be the people responsible for supervising his treatment."
The defendant admitted to travelling 93 miles to the home Samantha shares with her husband Mark and her children Benjamin and Lily earlier this year to deliver a love letter.
He was later confronted by Sam's husband after she spotted him camping outside of her house in the early hours of the morning.
The court heard that Rombough posted an apology to the couple on Twitter, writing: "I never meant to cause upset. I am very sorry."
Rombough was due to be sentenced yesterday (14.10.15) but the case was adjourned as a probation report is yet to be prepared although the psychiatric report has already been written, the Daily Mirror newspaper reports.
At an earlier hearing the court heard how the man admitted to police that his fantasies about the actress began in 2009 when he was just 16 years old.
Samantha - who plays Ronnie Mitchell in 'EastEnders' - provided a statement saying that while she is distressed by the ordeal, she hopes Rombough gets the help he needs.

Frankie Bridge is tipping Jay McGuiness to win 'Strictly Come Dancing' and admits she has been "shocked" by how good he is on the dancefloor.
The Saturdays star finished as joint runner-up when she competed on the BBC One ballroom show in 2014 and she has been amazed by Jay's near-perfect performances with his partner Aliona Vilani so early on in the series.
Speaking at the Attitude Awards in London on Wednesday night (14.10.15), she told BANG Showbiz: "Oh I think Jay is going to win. I never thought Jay was going to be awful or anything but I am shocked by how good he is, he's been a really big surprise to me."
Frankie has also dismissed criticism of Jay for having prior dance training at the Charlotte Hamilton School of Dance and at the Midlands Academy of Dance and Drama and experience of performing in The Wanted.
The 26-year-old pop beauty says the ballroom style is very different to other types of dancing and so the detractors should just be quiet.
Discussing Jay's haters, she said: "Don't they do that every year?! I think they always try and pick on people at some point whether they've done dancing or not.
"With people like Jay, or me, because we've been in bands, people go, 'Oh you've done this before.' I hadn't had any ballet training or ballroom training, getting up and dancing around on stage is a bit different to 'Strictly'. But that criticism comes out every year."
Although Frankie - who was recently confirmed for the 2016 'Strictly Come Dancing' tour - thinks Jay is the favourite for the 'Strictly' crown, she believes 'EastEnders' actress Kellie Bright could be a dark horse for the glitterball trophy.
She shared: "Kellie's really good. You always wonder what the actresses will be like. I think with all the actors and actresses they're so good at selling it and setting the right mood, which is something I found hard. She's amazing and she looks as though she's having so much fun in her performances which is nice to see."
Frankie - who gave birth to her second son Carter two months ago - showed off her incredible post-baby body at the Attitude Awards and a new shoulder-length bob haircut.
The singer - who also has 23-month-old son Parker with her husband Wayne Bridge - was joined at the glitzy event by a host of stars including Dame Vivienne Westwood, Boy George, Adam Lambert, Antony Cotton and Lorraine Kelly.

Chris Evans says the new 'Top Gear' presenting line-up has been chosen.
The BBC Radio 2 presenter has taken over from Jeremy Clarkson as the main presenter and he has now picked his team for the motoring show's revamp.
Auditions were held at 'Top Gear' HQ and the applicants have now been whittled down and an announcement is pending ahead of the start of shooting next Wednesday (21.10.15).
Chris appeared on Nick Grimshaw's Radio 1 Breakfast Show on Thursday morning (15.10.15) and when asked by a listener why he didn't get a reply to his application tape for the show, Chris said: "It's not rocket science is it my friend. Obviously it wasn't good enough!
"But we did look at every single of them and we called back a few people and we invited those people down to the 'Top Gear' track at Dunsfold Aerodrome and we gave them full on proper scripted multi-camera auditions and there will be announcements pending."
Nick then asked if the new team will contain some names who hadn't been on TV before.
To which Chris replied: "Some people may have done a bit of telly, but they are from these auditions ... It's on the telly in May but we start filming next Wednesday."

Mason Noise is returning to 'The X Factor'.
The controversial contestant is set to replace Tom Bleasby at Nick Grimshaw's Judges' Houses after the latter announced his decision to quit the show earlier this week.
BBC Radio 1 DJ Nick confirmed the news on his Breakfast Show this morning (15.10.15), saying: "[Tom's departure] left us with the decision of what to do. Do we go to Judges' Houses tomorrow with five boys or do we bring one back?
"So we decided, and I spoke to the boy last night, we're bringing one back ... It had to be Mason. I'm bringing back Mason Noise. I just thought he was exciting."
The announcement comes after it was claimed 'X Factor' bosses were desperate to get Mason - who stormed off stage during the Six Chair Challenge after a row with show boss and judge Simon Cowell - back in a bid too boost ratings.
A source told The Sun newspaper: "Any other year and Mason would not have been given another chance.
"He was rude to the crew, to Simon and clearly had a huge ego. Even the audience heavily booed him.
"But there's no denying he will cause controversy on the show, which will give the show a ratings boost. So X Factor bosses have put their pride aside on this one to allow him back in the competition."
Mason wowed the judges - who also include Rita Ora and Cheryl Fernandez-Versini - with his first audition and Nick confessed he would've given him a spot at Judges' Houses if he hadn't upset Simon by accusing the show of editing down footage of him and including more of other contestants.
Addressing Mason's behaviour, Nick added: "If he kicked off and wasn't talented, he'd be out the door. But he can really, really sing, and he's a performer and an entertainer, and for me, as a judge, he is someone who knows who they are."
'The X Factor' continues on Sunday (18.10.15) at 7pm on ITV.
