Scott and the team play back a selection of Flirt Divert messages left over the weekend, featuring awkward chat-up attempts, failed impressions, and relationship drama — including one caller trying to make up with his girlfriend after an uninvited guest incident.
The Flirt Divert feature returns with highlights from the previous weekend’s calls. The premise remains simple: listeners are encouraged to give out the Flirt Divert number (0370 756 408) to people they don’t fancy, rather than their real number. Scott opens by highlighting one particularly clumsy example: a caller named “Mr Biggie” who had already “jigged” (kissed) a girl called Monika but then received the Flirt Divert number — suggesting the encounter hadn’t gone well. Scott and the team discuss the caller’s attempt to do a Muppet Show impression over the phone as a chat-up tactic, with Scott mocking the strategy while also sharing his own impressions. Another message features someone doing various character voices in a bid to charm a caller, which Scott dismisses as “rubbish.” The standout moment comes from a caller trying to repair his relationship after being accused of lying about inviting someone to a gathering. The girl is annoyed, but he attempts to win her back by suggesting they go out and see a film together — Scott holds this up as “how you get the girl.” Throughout, Scott emphasizes to listeners that they should always carry the Flirt Divert number with them when socializing, to avoid awkward rejections in real time.
