"I'm doing other shows as well. It's always going to be around community, but if they gave me a game show I'd be cool."

Meanwhile, Jay had reason to celebrate over the weekend with the news that he has been awarded an MBE in The Queen's birthday honours for his services to Craft.
Taking to Instagram, the presenter shared the incredible update with his followers. Posting a throwback snap of himself as a young boy, he wrote: "It gives me great pleasure to announce that I've been awarded an MBE, for my contribution towards Craft. Thank you to everyone who made this possible for this young innocent boy."
Opening up to PA, Jay said: "It's hard to think of where I come from, growing up, where I was six years ago - and then be able to say, 'Yeah, I will accept an MBE'. It is just unbelievable. Never in your wildest dreams would you ever believe something like this would happen."
