1 hour 17 minutes | Wednesday, 17 December 2025

Nigel's guest today is Nikk Mager. Nikk is a singer and songwriter who is known to many these days as one quarter of The Fizz, the Eurovision-winning band formerly known as Bucks Fizz. He is also known as a former member of boyband Phixx, who rose from the ashes of the TV show Popstars: The Rivals in the early noughties. While the band was enjoying success with songs like Hold On Me, Love Revolution and Wild Boys, Nikk was hiding his sexuality and terrified that his secret would destroy everything he had worked so hard to achieve. These days he is a gay man finding confidence in his own identity.This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!Follow the podcast on TikTok @agayoldtime and on Instagram @agayoldtimepodcast  Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
