Greg James turns Radio 1 into a very weird nature documentary over moles, mice and one furious pigeon

 
Radio 1 BreakfastRecap of the show on

Greg James spent much of Wednesday's Breakfast Show on a special "wildlife edition" of Everyone's Rubbish, kicked off by Tom, who rescued a mole from his cat's jaws, released it into his front garden to save it, only to wake up to twelve molehills ruining his "pristine lawn". Greg told him the mole had clearly felt so safe it decided to move in, joking "that mole's living his best life." Listeners piled in with their own disasters, including Gemma, who was slapped in the face by a pigeon she was trying to save from a sparrowhawk, only for the bird to be caught anyway, and Mercy, who nursed an injured baby bird back to health as a child, before it flew into a window and died within days.

Greg shared highlights from Jade's visit the day before, where she discussed writing Into the Deep with Hans Zimmer for Blue Planet 3, saying "it's honestly the best thing I've ever done." He also played a clip of Sebastian Croft telling Katie Thistleton and Emil Franchi that he once took Olivia Rodrigo to McDonald's in full Celebrity Traitors kit without anyone recognising her.

There was also fun at Prince William's expense, after he was shown teasing Ross Kemp about last week's viral Traitors moment with Leanne Pinnock, touching his arm and asking "how's it going?" to Kemp's visible alarm.

Thursday's quiz saw dentist Cal get unexpected help from his two young sons, taking him to 13 points, while Greg confirmed Andrew Garfield will be back on the show on Thursday for a chat about his new film and a game of Sit Down, Stand Up.
