ALED and Rachel from The Chris Moyles Show met pupils at Berry Hill High School.

The two personalities, who regularly help to brighten up the airwaves on the Radio 1 show, took time out to talk to pupils about their careers in the media, as well as giving them insider gossip about some of the show's guests.

Rachel, full name Rachel Jones, from Kidderminster, said: "We like to go out and meet people who listen to the show.

"We wanted to come to a school and meet some of our younger listeners."

Aled Hayden-Jones showed Year 10 pupils a behind-the-scenes video he had made of Radio 1, then both he and Rachel answered questions submitted by the students.

But when they asked them if they were regular listeners to the show, only half the students said they tuned in. The rest listened to local station Signal 1.

After their presentation, Aled interviewed pupils for The Chris Moyles Show and Sunday Surgery.

Pupil Shaunie Perry, aged 16, of Stoke, was on her way to an exam when she was grabbed by Aled for a quick interview.

She said: "He asked me questions about the Radio 1 team and about politics. He asked if I thought young people should be allowed to vote. I said we should have a say because we live here too and things like the recession affect us too.

"Aled is my favourite."

Aled said: "The welcome we have received in Stoke-on-Trent has been fantastic, the people are so warm."

Rachel added: "Chris has been really excited about coming back to Stoke-on-Trent. He wants to see his old house, but he's disappointed his old pub has closed."
