Scott is confronted on air about kissing Michelle from The Apprentice at a karaoke night, leading to the introduction of a new listener feature called Flirt Divert—a wind-up phone number disguised as a way to avoid unwanted flirts.
The show opens with Scott defending himself against accusations that he and Michelle Juby from The Apprentice got together at Charlie XCX’s karaoke event in London. Scott insists nothing serious happened, but gradually admits to some “humble flirting” before confessing they kissed during a rendition of “A Whole New World.” He claims Michelle then gave him her actual number rather than the Flirt Divert number—a fake answerphone line designed to wind up people you don’t like. The Flirt Divert number (0775 640 8 or similar variation) is then introduced as a feature, with listeners calling in to leave messages that get played back on air, creating a funny section around the failed attempts at flirtation.
Scott also mentions performing “The Hot Nature” (a song) at the karaoke night, describing it as deeply embarrassing with blank faces from the crowd. The episode features a regular cinema segment with Daniel from Majestic Cinema in Aberdeen, who provides film listings and showtimes in his distinctive, heavily accented delivery. Daniel had previously been banned from doing the feature but has “slipped through the net” this week, announcing films including Borat (15 certificate), Open Season (PG), The History Boys (12A), and other current releases. His segment ends with an oddly threatening plea: “If you don’t come, I will be executed.”
