A highlights show featuring the best calls from the Flirt Divert feature, plus a live phone challenge to test whether a girlfriend’s boyfriend really does love football more than her.
This episode showcases the most memorable moments from the Flirt Divert segment, where listeners ring a decoy number (077-075-6408) instead of getting the real phone number of someone they’ve met. The setup catches people in embarrassing or funny situations: one caller leaves a desperate voicemail after realizing mid-date she has no toilet paper in a pub bathroom, repeatedly pleading with her date to bring her some — a mortifying incident made worse when she realizes she’s rung the Flirt Divert number instead of his real one.
The main feature of the show involves testing whether a caller named Kelly’s boyfriend genuinely cares more about football than her. With the World Cup underway, Kelly has barely seen her partner since matches started — he’s even blown out her cousin’s wedding to watch games. Scott attempts to lure him away from the pub with an escalating series of incentives: Kelly offers to spend time together, suggests playing football in the garden, and mentions she’s wearing a nice nightie. The boyfriend, dubbed “Baby Beast” by Kelly, refuses every temptation. By the end of the call, it’s clear that football has won decisively: he won’t leave the match for anything, proving beyond doubt that his priorities lie firmly with the sport rather than his girlfriend.
