The kids from TV hit Stranger Things chat to Nick Grimshaw about the casting process.

When Grimmy asked what it's like to have famous admirers, Gaten said: "They come up and they're like, 'I love Stranger Things', and I'm like, 'Well I love you!'"

And Daniel flippin' Radcliffe

The former boy wizard the day before and GUSHED over the show.

"Can you just, like, tell them that they're AMAZING, and just ask them - as a person who started out acting really young - how are they so good?! I wasn't that good as a kid - have the decency to be less good at acting please!" squealed Radcliffe, who made it clear how excited he was about the sci-fi series.

Basically they were BLOWN AWAY by his reaction.

"He said 'I wasn't very good when I was young'... HE WAS HARRY POTTER!" laughed Millie.
