NAUGHTY Greg James found himself publicly shamed by his Radio 1 bosses today, after the star was very late for his show.
The popular presenter, 40, hosts his Breakfast Show from 7am until 11am, but today he didn’t kick things off until 7.38am – and had to face the consequences.
Sharing that Greg‘s punishment for being late was to be named and shamed, the BBC penned this cheeky public notice: “UNOFFICIAL STATEMENT. It has come to our attention that an individual employed by Radio 1 was 38 minutes late to work this morning.
“This is a matter we take very seriously, and to deal with this we have decided to bring back good old fashioned public shaming.
“If you could take a second of your day to comment ‘shame’ or a tomato emoji that would be great thanks.
“Hopefully this will ensure it will never happen again @greg.”
They signed off the hilarious post with: “THIS IS LITERALLY JUST FOR A LAFF!”
In the next slide, Greg could be seen pulling a sad face and holding a piece of card which read: “Sorry I was 38 minutes late.”
Fellow Radio 1 presenter Danny Mylo, whose show is on before Greg’s, revealed he had filled in for him while he was running late.
“Can you do 4-4:38am for us in the morning plz. Would like to take the time back thanks,” he said.
While fellow radio star Sara Cox cheekily sent a tomato emoji and wrote: “When/where is the rotten fruit n vegging please? #stocks.”
After joining Radio 1 in 2007, Greg soon became one of the most popular presenters.
In 2018, he landed the coveted Breakfast Show gig, taking over from Nick Grimshaw,
