“My big fear going into this, and I openly talked about this before going into the show, was what if I get sick of Lego?,” the 37-year-old told The Advertiser.

A genuine thanks to those that watched Lego Masters last night, far more people than expected! The response has been really heartwarming, just stoked people are having as much fun watching it as everyone had making it, and it really is cool to me that lots of families have made it their show to watch together. This is the less glamorous side of things, the Lego sorting area out the back. I did a lot of my Lego stealing out here when people weren't looking. Fond memories. If you look closely you can see the trophy (and a practice one next to it) that one of the teams will take home in, actually, about two weeks cos it's only a 3 week run! She's a quick season! Ep 2 is TONIGHT 7.30 Ch9. It's a belter (quite literally).

“There was a real possibility. I like Lego, don’t get me wrong, I build it a few times a year and I play with kids, but there’s a difference between me as a casual dad consumer Lego fan vs every single day doing it 12-hours a day.

"I’ve got to say after the first few days that fear began to abate. I think I’ve gone deep, Lego’s got me. The more you get to know about the (Lego) world, the more detail you see, the more nuances you get your head around. I think it’s had the opposite effect – and I think it bodes well for the show.”

My wife got this giant LEGO portrait made for my 30th birthday ("but Hame you're not 30 for 8 years you cool youth!" Haha, cheers, thanks guys I'm actually 37). At the time she said, "look I mostly got this because it seemed like a fun thing to have made, but who knows, one day you may host a TV show about LEGO!?" Then she shot me a super funny look with a twinkle in her eye but before I could ask more, she disappeared in a cloud of smoke. I mean, literally disappeared. She was gone. It wasn't until an hour later when she crawled out from under the couch complaining of a leg cramp and carrying an empty dry ice canister did I begin to piece together a theory on how she did the trick. Anyway, I've been thinking about that day a bit lately, a little bit because I still don't know how she made her eyes twinkle like that, but mostly because I DID turn out to host a TV show about LEGO! It's called LEGO Masters, it's out in less then a month I think, on channel 9. There's less flying LEGO than the ads would have you believe, but it's a really fun show about creativity and imagination, the contestants are great, and also, they build some pretty amazing shit. The kind of show where 9 year old Hamish would flip if he knew he got to grow up and host it. 30 year old Hamish, well I'm not too sure, he sounds a bit dumb. I mean, how did he not look under the couch...

Starting his radio career with mate Andy Lee in the early 2000s, the pair wowed audiences with their national Drive show. The loveable duo went on to win fans during a break from radio with their hugely successful Gap Year show, featuring the boys’ escapades in New York, the UK, Asia, South America, India, New Zealand and Europe, resulting in a gold Logie win for Hamish.

In the past few years Hamish has launched a successful podcast alongside Andy, and the duo are set to resume their travel adventures when Hamish and Andy’s Perfect Holiday airs later this year.

When he’s not busy entertaining us on TV, Hamish can be found hanging out with his wife, Zoe Foster Blake and their two children, five year-old son, Sonny and 18-month old daughter, Rudy.
