is back for Christmas, with Greg James spending a week racing around the UK to surprise Radio 1 listeners with a little help or a bit of a treat.

But unlike previous Rent-a-Gregs, this one is a little different. As part of Radio 1's campaign, which has run throughout 2017, Greg will be surprising people as a thank you from their friends or family.

"My Mind & Me is the best campaign Radio 1 has ever done," says Greg.

"It's so important that people try and normalise talking about their problems a bit more.

"It could be a small thing but actually it makes people think it's OK to say 'I'm not feeling alright at the moment. I feel a bit down.'"

Many of the Radio 1 DJs are involved with the 2017 Christmas Rent-a-Greg and considering what Greg got up to in this summer's edition, everyone involved (including the listeners) is in for some truly bizarre experiences.

"We dropped off a listener to the airport once for his first lads' holiday, ," says Greg about previous Rent-A-Gregs.

"We helped a listener move house, we DJed at a wedding - I took Dev to a wedding in Rugby, we were on a stage in a village hall, the curtains opened and we were stood there.

"We did a tour of London for someone's parents."

When one brother wanted to make sure his sister knew how amazing she was after a tricky year, Rent-a-Greg made it happen.

Facilitated by Grimmy, pizza galore and a party bus kitted out with karaoke, Rosa and her pals were picked up from school and driven to the Radio 1 studio where they met one of their Strictly idols. No biggie! Listen and find out what happened...

Day two of Rent-a-Greg and Scott and Chris call on their culinary friend Tom Kerridge (casual!) to help train a brother and sister - Emily and Alex - who need to make Christmas dinner a success for their mum.

Scrumdiddlyumptious festive grub, incoming!

This year has been INCREDIBLY busy for Student Nurse Beth, going on placement and even working hard on the weekends to fund her training. Yet she puts everyone else first and still finds time to smile and look after her friends. What an inspiration!

Clara invited her down to the Live Lounge and gave her a tour of Radio 1 towers. She had a front row seat for James Arthur and even received a special message from Sam Smith.
