Greg James 'captured' after Brits as Radio 1 DJ explains no show in shocking Instagram video

Radio 1 DJ Greg James claims he was 'captured' after the Brit Awards on Tuesday night.

Greg failed to turn up for his Breakfast Show at 6.30am on Wednesday after attending the awards bash at London's O2 Arena the night before, leaving colleague Adele Roberts, who'd just hosted her own show, to stand-in.

She told listeners: "I can't actually believe this is happening. Greg James is a no-show, a dirty little no-show, has anyone seen him?"

"I've been trying to keep an eye on all of our little Radio 1 chickens this morning. The last time I saw him was on Grace, who used to work on Radio 1 Breakfast, on her Instagram about six hours ago, around midnight. If you do spot him please do send him our way."

On Wednesday afternoon, Greg stunned his many Instagram followers by uploading a video from where he claimed he was taken to after being captured.

In the video, which you can watch above, Greg said: "Some explaining needs to be done. Last night at the Brits after-party as I was put into car, blindfolded and taken over an hour or so away to a building that contains this white room.

"The only thing I was told was I was being taken to 'the boss' place'. I've been captured I'm as much in the dark as you are."

After adding that he'd been reading all the stories about him failing to turn up for work, being drunk and facing the sack, Greg said he'd since learnt his capture was all to do with a challenge called 'Who's Got Greg?', ending "This requires you to be detective and with me, work out who from the Brits captured me and took me here.

"When we work that out I can escape...so please help me."
