On the ³ÉÈË¿ìÊÖ Introducing blog, Jen expresses her excitement at taking over from Bethan, who formed part of her own musical education: "It feels strange, to say the least. I've been working on Bethan's show for the last three years making notes, tea, and suggesting hilarious features - Beth From Above, Beth Becomes Her - that strangely never made it to fruition. I was pretty chuffed when I first got that job; I used to listen to Bethan and Huw back in the old days, dancing around my tiny student bedroom."

She also talks about her top tips for 2011 and her musical milestones. Concluding, she says in answer to the question as to what her first album was: "I don't remember. I remember trying to buy Take That and Party but it was £8 on cassette in Woolworths and my mum said it was too much and I wasn't allowed. I suppose my entire career is just an effort to recover from that particular childhood atrocity."

Get to know Jen better on Radio 1 from midnight this coming Monday.
