MOYLES IN SOAP ROLE

CHRIS Moyles has landed his first acting job - playing himself - in BBC drama Hotel Babylon.

The motormouth DJ was filming yesterday with Big Brother winner Chantelle, who plays his girlfriend.

The show stars Max Beesley and Tamzin Outhwaite and follows the exploits of staff and guests at a posh hotel.

In the storyline, to be screened next year, the Radio 1 star meets manager Rebecca Mitchell (Outh-waite) to book a party.

Moyles told listeners to his breakfast show: "I already feel confident about my 20 words. I might ad lib around it but I don't want to come across as cocky."
