The radio star added: "'Do I wait for her inside or is that overthinking it? He went 'yep, that's overthinking it exactly, go inside, get yourself a drink and chill, staying outside like a weirdo on the street. Text her and ask her what she'd like to drink, so it's sat on the table waiting for her'.

Pete also explained: "I then got the phone call post date and it sounds like you handled it very well, very well."
