set up Nelson's work experience in 2003 where, on Saturdays, he worked on the Rock’n’Roll Football show with Dominic Johnson.
He later decided to work on BBC Radio Sport at Radio Five Live, this job lasted him four years. He also he reported at the Athens Paralympics and interviewed Sir Alex Ferguson
. Nelson returned to Virgin Radio to work on the Geoff Show in January 2008.
At the time Tony Moorey was working on The Geoff Show
he set up a feature called The Dead Of The Night in which Tony tells the listeners about a historical life and they have to guess how that person died in order to win prizes. Since Tony left Geoff was trying to think of a feature for Nelson to fill that time. He was originally thinking of creating something called Nelson's Column but thought that was too low-brow. So, instead, Geoff came up with a feature called Nelson's Last Orders where Geoff gives Nelson a list of requests which Nelson will then go and complete and report back his findings on air, e.g. "What kind of curtains does Pam St. Clement
have in her house?". After a while Last Orders was scrapped because Nelson found it too hard work, it was replaced by an un-named feature in which Annabel and Geoff would ask him questions and he would have to lie, latching on to the fact that Nelson found it hard to tell any lie or be dishonest. Such as "Who do you hate more your father or Robert Mugabe?" which Nelson would answer "My father". This feature was scrapped because Nelson did not like being dishonest. Currently they have a feature called "Nelson's Special Offers" in which Nelson is set a place and a business and has to heckle a discount with the business in that place. His ideal date is said to be Kate Moss after it was revealed on Absolute radio.
On September 29, Kumah and the rest of the team moved the new drive-time slot, known as Geoff Lloyd's Hometime Show
, with Kumah reading sports news.
He recently, however, left the show, without explanation or any form of goodbye.
