Radio 1 thrown into chaos as Greg James plays ‘sex tape’ live on air
RADIO 1 was thrown into complete chaos as a "sex tape" appeared to play out live on air.
Breakfast show anchor Greg James, 38, was understandably red-faced after the prank involving a male caller.
He rung in to the station and announced: "i'm here," before Greg replied: "You're here!
