Three days until 500 Words closes - Chris looks back at 2012's stories and shares three fun facts about the words used by our young authors. Plus, James Corden pops in pre-Brits.

Three days until 500 WORDS closes! Chris looks back at 2012's stories and shares three fun facts about all the words used by our young authors.

Last year, Oxford University Press analysed every single one of the 74,075 stories entered and their research revealed a wealth of surprising insights into the imaginative way children use English today. As the countdown to Friday's 7pm deadline continues, Chris picks three highlights from this research.

We'll be word crunching again this year and, to do this, we want more of your stories! For more information about how to enter this year's competition, visit bbc.co.uk/500words.

And ahead of his huge hosting honour, James Corden joins us for some pre-BRITs breakfast banter! It is one of the biggest UK music events of the year and we get the inside scoop of what's in store for the big show!
