Radio One DJ Grooverider was arrested in Dubai after cannabis and hardcore porn DVDs were allegedly found in his record bag.

He was searched as he arrived at the Gulf state's international airport for a club gig.

The dance DJ - real name Raymond Bingham - was detained and is expected to appear in court this week.

The 40-year-old star, who appears to be smoking a marijuana joint on his MySpace profile, faces jail or deportation if he is found guilty.

A BBC spokesman said: "It's a legal matter so we cannot comment."

What an disgrace, if he is found guilty he deserves getting the sack from Radio 1, there are plenty other people I'm sure who havent had any bother with the authorities who would die for the chance to have a show on National Radio.

He does the....

Oooooooooh!

*COKE ADVERT ON TV!*

Erm... oh yeah, he does the drum and base show on a saturday night at 2am, i thing anyway. He presents every other week with Fabio.

What is it with all these "street" names. I'd love for a presenter on 1 xtra to be called George... I'm listening to someone who calls themselves "Wec" at the moment on Kiss 100... wtf?!one!!!!111

>> I'm on here every now and again... <<

they will get rid of him and replace his drum & bass show with re runs of coldplay live whinge performances. becuase thats what every young person wants isn't it radio 1?

i rarley listen to him, sometimes if i am coming back from dj'ing somewhere i catch fabio & grooveriders show (if they still do it together). it sounds professional for a drum & bass show unlike the pirate stations that play that. if they do want to get another drum & bass dj in though, they should look no further than andy c.

on the grid.

They rarely do a show together now it alternates between fabio one week and grooverider the next. His arrest was a bit of a joke I mean considering some of the human rights violations pursued by saudi arabia then arresting some one because he had a bit of weed and some porn on him is a but rich.

In better news i think I've thought of a way to get rid of doherty send to do a gig in dubai

Its usually a good show as is the one on 1extra

Is he really 40...? Considering this is supposed to be a radio station that's trying to target the teenage market they have a lot of middle-aged presenters. But anyway, it is disgraceful and I certainly hope that he is sacked if he's found guilty, as a DJ on national radio he really should be setting a better example.

So save the last dance

Apparently the UAE imposes four years in prison for possession of drugs, whilst trafficking carries the death penalty.

Pornographic material is also banned in the UAE, where nude images in foreign periodicals and books are usually scratched with black ink or torn out.

Fail to see what the big deal is. The only stupid thing is taking stuff like that to a country that sways towards ancient bigoted religious laws.
