Scott triumphs in an elaborate texting prank, Gemma accidentally says “I love you” to her three-day boyfriend via the blind text game, and Scott reveals a mortifying story about a radio DJ being sick at Natalie Imbruglia’s party.
The show opens with Scott and Laura engaging in a texting speed competition after Laura has been using self-help CDs to improve her life. Scott has acquired his own self-help CD called “Bade Magnet” designed to boost sexual confidence, which he plays clips from throughout the show. Laura wins the first texting round decisively, prompting Scott to raise the stakes by asking people at home to text a phrase to a number written down in the studio.
Caller Gemma plays the blind text game where you close your eyes, scroll through your phone book, and send a message to whoever the phone lands on. She accidentally texted “I love you” to her boyfriend Marcus—after only three and a half days of dating. Marcus texted back saying he loves her too, creating an awkward situation. Scott insists she clarifies her feelings on air, and Gemma awkwardly tells Marcus on-air that she doesn’t love him but thinks he’s “all right.” The conversation veers into relationship milestones, with Laura revealing she said “I love you” to her boyfriend James about a month into their relationship, and both agreeing that going to IKEA together is the true sign of a serious relationship.
Scott then reveals he’s been holding an elaborate prank throughout the texting segments: both he and Laura have been texting an offensive three-word phrase not to Scott’s number, but to someone else’s—revealed to be his boss. He gives the DJ ten minutes to call and stop him telling a humiliating story. No one calls. Scott then recounts a story from a few years ago at Natalie Imbruglia’s birthday party where a radio DJ got violently sick in the toilet, and Natalie herself came down to comfort them by holding their hair back and rubbing their back—while guests kept arriving to say goodbye to Natalie, finding her in the basement with the vomiting DJ.
