A Radio 1 DJ just fell for a very old prank live on air and it’s a future classic
Live broadcasts carry a certain level of risk, which is why there’ve been more than 40 episodes of It’ll Be Alright on the Night and several round-ups of the misadventures of newsreader, Simon McCoy. Radio DJs aren’t immune to the dangers either, as demonstrated by this clip of Radio 1’s Maya Jama.

Seriously people. We're all carrying on as normal while 'Hugh Janus' is trending. I mean, I know the world is falling apart, Nazis are dancing the tango all over the place and we're being held to ransom by a bunch of incompetent cartoon villains but ignoring this is not v British

A Twitter user named @Rocksey had a question …
Is he any relation to Hugh Jarse by any chance?
