Radio personality, TV host and all-round charming chap, Bassem Kameel, is slowly becoming one of the most popular voices and faces on Egyptian TV and radio. As the host of Radio Hits’ daily show, Shuffle Hits, Kameel made his TV breakthrough in Ramadan 2014 on Mesaa2 El Kheir Ya Ramadan.

We sat down with him to talk about divas, hair, mutual friends and more.

1. Has anything weird ever happened to you on air?

Actually, yes – a girl proposed to me on TV and wouldn’t hang up the phone until I said “I do.” I was so embarrassed and didn’t know what to do until the control room cut the call. I didn’t realise it until I re-watched the episode, but my face actually turned red!

2. You and one of your co-hosts from Mesaa2 El Kheir Ya Ramadan, Sally Abdel Sallam, seem like you get on pretty well – are you guys friends behind the scenes?

Sally is like my little sister! Actually, a lot of people ask me if I think she’s hot – I’ve seen Sally with no make-up on, so....

3. Speaking of hot, that’s an interesting head of hair you’ve got there.

Yeah, my hair is awesome.

4. Cool, let’s move on. Do you have an on-air nickname?

I guess its ‘Beeso’ – everyone calls me that anyway. But if I had to choose one, I’d go for King B – Beyonce stole it from me!

5. What. A. Bitch. I guess you’re not much of fan, then?

I’ll tell you who I am a fan of when it comes to divas – Christina Aguilera. She’s the diva-est diva of them all – I just love her!

6. Hmm, ‘diva-est’ isn’t a real word, but I’ll let it pass. Speaking of divas, though, you work with a very good friend and former Media Republic colleague of ours at Radio Hits, Radwa El Attar – any gossip you want to spill on her?

She’s a sweetheart! We get each other perfectly. She’s a Gemini like me, so we understand each other without even talking. We understand each others’ mood swings and respect that and one of us is always there for the other when one of us is down. She is the best co-host I’ve worked with up until now.
