Radio 1’s Greg James was greeted by fans of the late Long Boi as he completed the fifth day of his 630-mile tandem bike ride challenge in York.
The popular duck was regularly featured on James’ breakfast show after gaining fame among students at the University of York, with James donning a mourning veil when a statue of the animal, who disappeared in 2023, was erected the following year.
James admitted it had been a “weird” day, adding: “Only a few hours ago I was on a tandem with Prince William. Now, I’m here with Long Boi and all the amazing students in York.”
His 1,000km cycling challenge through England, Wales and Scotland has already raised more than £1m for Comic Relief.
