In a dramatic turn of events, Greg James was kicked off Radio 1 Breakfast this morning whilst presenting his show from Brighton for The Radio 1 Games. Scott Mills has taken over presenting duties from BBC HQ in London for the foreseeable.
On Monday, Greg along with other Radio 1 DJs, headed to Brighton for The Radio 1 Games – a week of special programming putting the DJs to the test with an array of games including; Egg and Spoon race, Hungry Unicorns and a five legged race.
On Wednesday it was Greg’s turn to launch his day of The Radio 1 Games and was presented with a mammoth challenge much bigger than expected, being told that he has lost his show until further notice. He will have the chance to win back the Radio 1 Breakfast Show by completing The Radio 1 Giant Jigsaw – a Radio 1 logo broken into twenty large jigsaw pieces and hidden in twenty locations across the UK. Relying on Radio 1 listeners, Greg’s job is to make sure all twenty pieces are found and transported to him in Brighton where he must assemble them on a lake. Once the jigsaw is complete, Greg will get his show back.
The Radio 1 family of DJs will help him in his quest, they include:
Calum Leslie in Glasgow
Vicky Hawkesworth in Manchester
Sian Eleri in Chester
Sam and Danni in Cardiff
Gemma Bradley in Belfast
Listen to Radio 1 Breakfast (7am-10.30am) and Radio 1 throughout the day all week for updates on The Radio 1 Giant Jigsaw.
