Radio 1 host Greg James was removed from his radio show yesterday morning.
Live on air, his programming was halted as he was removed from the studio. Scott Mills stepped in to take over as the host's replacement.
It comes after the radio station played a running gag, as they have said that Greg must complete a jigsaw puzzle before being able to return to his post. BBC released a statement that said: "Until further notice, Radio 1 Breakfast will be The Scott Mills Show."

The statement in full read: "Radio 1 are kicking Greg James off the Radio 1 Breakfast show with immediate effect. Greg was part way through presenting this morning’s show from Brighton but is currently being removed from the studio.
“Greg has lost his Radio 1 show. He will have the chance to win it back by completing a challenge. At this very moment a new team are taking over the show from the BBC HQ. Until further notice, Radio 1 Breakfast will be The Scott Mills Show.”
Greg posted to Twitter, as he said: "I’ve been forcibly removed from the Breakfast Show. If I complete RADIO 1’s GIANT JIGSAW, I win it back. 20 pieces of the R1 logo are all over the UK. I need to get them ALL to Brighton! I’m in charge of the logistics. 3 found so far. Wrexham, John O’Groats and Land’s End."
