He's one of the busiest men on children's TV and is currently touring the UK with a live show, but CBeebies Mister Maker has taken time out to visit the kmfm breakfast show.

Phil Gallagher, complete with his trademark spiky hair and spotty waistcoat, has been teaching children how to make creative works of art on television since 2007.

Cbeebies star Mister Maker, aka Phil Gallagher, makes Pom Pom bugs with Garry and Emma from kmfm breakfast on a previous visit to the station.

The passionate Gillingham FC supporter, who grew up in the town, says it's great trying to come up with new crafts challenges: "I was trying to work it out the other day and I think I've made something like 1,500 things so far on Mister Maker, and including on the live shows as well so it is a challenge to come up with new ideas.

"We're based at Maidstone Studios, so not too far away and we love coming up with new ideas every time we make a new series."

The Children's BAFTA nominated presenter has written and co-produced the stage show and said: "We wanted to keep the heart of the Mister Maker TV show, like the minute makes and character like the shapes, and quite literally put it onto a bigger stage.

"There's lots of arts and crafts but it's much bigger and we've added in lots of singing and, I have to say, some quite spectacular dancing by myself".

Mister Maker & The Shapes Live has already been in Dartford and will be heading to Canterbury, Bromley and Tunbridge Wells in the next few months.
