Scott is away on holiday, so the show replays a classic feature where a caller’s boyfriend is tested for loyalty when “Tinie Tempah” (actually Danny Howard) calls to flirt with him — and the result turns surprisingly romantic.
This episode is a best-of compilation, with Scott taking time off and the show highlighting memorable moments from the archives. The centrepiece is a relationship temptation test featuring Beccy, a travel agent caller who has agreed to put her boyfriend David to the test. She’s been considering his marriage proposal, and wants to know how faithful he really is before saying yes.
The setup is simple: Beccy calls David from work claiming that Tinie Tempah has come into the travel agency to book a holiday. She hands the phone to Danny Howard (who is helping with the prank), and Danny, adopting a flirtatious alter ego, invites David to a barbecue with “loads of hot Australian girls” — his actual date having dropped out. The catch is that Beccy will be “checking details” and won’t know what’s happening.
David’s response is notably measured. When Danny pushes the invite, David politely deflects, asking for a call back later rather than committing to anything. When the prank is revealed and David realises he’s been set up by Scott and the team, he takes it in good humour. Asked whether he still wants to marry Beccy after the stunt she’s just pulled, David confirms he does — and Beccy, having seen him pass the test, gives him her answer: yes. The feature ends on an unexpectedly heartfelt note, with Scott moved enough to joke about buying sausages for the barbecue that never was.
