HE'S a master of spinning tunes on the airwaves so it's no surprise DJ Spoony's home features an incredible vinyl library. The Radio 1 and 2 legend, 54, has a collection of thousands of LPs in a stylish room dedicated to his favourite music. Every now and then Spoony, real name Jonathan Joseph, gives fans a peek inside his sanctuary.
The records are neatly arranged in cubicles that go from the floor to the ceiling and there's a fireplace at its heart, perfect for getting cosy in front of while the music plays. Football fan Spoony burns plenty of energy on club nights and the live stage so needs to be fighting fit.
And he's got his own home gym complete with a £1,200 Zwift bike to make sure he has what it takes to perform at the peak of his abilities. Elsewhere in the home there's an immaculately furnished modern kitchen, exposed brickwork and glass doors. A large staircase leads up to a master bedroom complete with four poster bed and floorboards for extra rustic character.
The home was given a decorative makeover for the festive season with classy bows placed around the pad. And it ended up being a happy Christmas after a worrying time that saw Spoony admitted to hospital for emergency brain surgery. He told followers on Instagram how he had suffered a subdural haematoma that required surgery at Addenbrooke's on Christmas Eve.
The NHS describes it as a "serious condition" where blood pools between the skull and surface of the brain. Spoony had been suffering from severe headaches, a key symptom, for close to a month prior to the op but had battled through and continued with his day to day routine.
