Greg James And Nick Grimshaw’s Giant Game Of Hide And Seek Ends After 23 Hours

A solid effort.

How long is the average game of hide and seek? 10 minutes? 20? 30 if you’re playing in particularly big house and garden?

Whatever it is, we’re sure Radio 1’s Greg James and Nick Grimshaw have exceeded it, with their mammoth 23 hour game.

Grimmy and Greg will swap radio shows later this year, when Nick takes over the drivetime show as Greg sets his alarm for the breakfast programme.
