Bebo has linked up with BBC Radio 1 to film an episode of online drama KateModern that will include cameos from DJs Nick Grimshaw and Tim Westwood.

The collaboration with the BBC will see an episode of the second series shot in Radio 1's Live Lounge studio during this Sunday's teen show Switch.

This episode of the second series of KateModern, which started dramatically with the murder of the eponymous star, will also feature band Scouting for Girls.

In the episode, PR girl Charlie, played by Tara Rushton, is looking after the band and managing their appearance on Radio 1's Switch show, which includes a hectic trip to get to the studio on time.

The episode will feature "appearances" from Radio 1 DJ Grimshaw, who presents Switch at 7pm on Sundays, and hip-hop expert Westwood.

Cadbury has already had a KateModern episode dedicated to its Creme Egg product, based on PR girl Charlie running into a series of mishaps while attempting to promote the product, culminating in an chocolate egg free-for-all in Leicester Square.

The second series of KateModern, which launched in January, will run for a total of 24 weeks.

About 120 episodes, each a few minutes long, will be made and uploaded on the Bebo social networking website at an average of five per week.
