UPDATE: It’s Tuesday morning and Greg is *still* in there. Could you help get him out?
Greg James’ week has started in a rather interesting way, as the DJ is currently locked in an escape room (which is just what you need on a Monday, eh?).
Over the weekend, Radio 1 teased that the Breakfast Show host would be taking part in a top secret stunt, with the details kept under such strict watch that Greg himself didn’t actually know what was happening.
He was then joined on his Monday morning show by Scott Mills, who watched on as Greg was blindfolded and driven away from Radio 1 HQ.
The next time listeners heard from him, Greg had been placed in Radio 1’s specially-made escape room and told he’d need to crack a 6-digit code to get out.
Given that there are a million potential combinations for the code, this could go on for quite some time.
They’ve also put a bed in the room, which feels ominous, and the toilet situation is unclear, so we’re going to just assume that’s been taken care of.
Thankfully, Greg has been given a few hints at how to work out the winning numbers, and they haven’t robbed him of his phone either:
However, the clues have proved seriously tough to solve and as of 4pm, the DJ was still locked in.
At least he got some good new selfies though:
Greg is no stranger to a (slightly bonkers) stunt or two, as when it was announced that he was taking over the Radio 1 Breakfast Show, he played a nationwide game of hide and seek with Nick Grimshaw.
Last September, he also organised #PassThePasty, which saw a traditional Cornish pasty carried Olympic torch-style all the way to Aberdeenshire.
This time last year, Greg was preparing for a tougher task, as he took on a gruelling Sport Relief challenge as the ‘Beast from the East’ storm battered the UK.
