Skream and Benga reunite on Radio 1 on the Residency

Skream and Benga have reunited on Radio 1 during the Residency.

It was the first time the duo have appeared on air together since co-hosting a Friday night show on the station, which ended when Benga's mental health issues led him to take a break from DJing.

Skream introduced him by saying: "I'm very happy to be able to say this.

"I've got a big old friend with me who goes by the name of Benga."

Skream, aka Oliver Jones, and Benga were pioneers of dubstep and are two thirds of DJ group Magnetic Man, which also features Artwork.

Speaking about his bipolar, which he opened up about on Twitter last month, Benga - whose real name is Adegbenga Adejumo - said: "Tonight is one of the first nights in ages I haven't felt tired.

"I've got to take it easy because you know I've had issues. Other than that I'm ready. I'm feeling excited about playing shows.

"I think I'm going to take this opportunity to say, live on air, that I'm sorry I went missing on you. Nuff love."

Skream said it was the best he'd seen Benga looking "in a while" as they discussed Benga's new music.

"I've been writing a lot," said Benga

"It's taken me two years to capture something that sounds fresh."

When he posted about his condition in September, Benga wrote: "Bipolar was brought on by drugs and the schizophrenia was the result of excessive touring.

"I don't want sympathy but [do want] to raise awareness. Because if I had help early the damage could have been controlled!"
