“I was like OMG,” Ricki-Lee said, saying the pair “just chatted for five minutes”.

“I said hi, we introduced ourselves and we just talked. It was so surreal and awesome and he was so down to earth and lovely and cool. And then I was like ‘OK well have a good night' and I walked back to my table with my friends and I was like ‘OMG I just met Prince Harry'.”

Speaking about the transition from the stage to radio, Ricki-Lee said: “I never thought I would be doing radio. It really isn’t something that was on my radar and I think that unless it was those two boys, I wouldn’t be doing it. They are so amazing at what they do and they make going in every day such a pleasure.”
