The on-air journalist also addressed a mishap he suffered while presenting the show.
It occurred after one of the show’s guests brought a gerbil into the studios and the TV host asked to stroke it.
“One of the very first days in the very first week they had this gerbil in,” he explained.
Jeremy went on: “It turned out [the gerbil] had somehow eaten half the car from basically the footwells outward. It was incredible.
“Of course, I said, ‘Can I have a stroke?’ And I knew as soon as I said it something would happen.”
He added: “And sure enough it attacked me and bit my finger on air. I thought we are obviously setting the tone here of what is about to happen.”
Jeremy Vine airs weekdays on Channel 5 at 9.15am.
