Ok thanks for all the replies guys (and girls?), I really appreciate everyone's input here.
I've had a think about it and decided to say nothing for now, it seems pointless making any fuss as potentially I may not even be offered job #1. If I get confirmation of an offer I will request the contract is sent so I can check it over.
Hopefully I can get interview #2 done and a result before being pressed to have this returned and signed, at that point if I need to turn down #1 I can do this and state that I've had a surprise offer come from a previous client and that given the situation the contract being offered (for my own security) can't be ignored.
Either way it doesn't matter when or how I break the news, I know agent #1 will not be impressed. What I don't want to do is burn my bridges without a firm confirmation from #2 first, as that could leave me in a bad situation.
Could certainly be the biggest crossroads in my career to-date this coming week (or maybe even nothing at all)!.
