Chris returns from Ohio
Chris comes back from the Gathering of the Juggalos, the Insane Clown Posse festival in Ohio, where he has been filming a programme about extreme festivals for Radio 1 and BBC iPlayer. The experience included more nudity than he expects the finished film will be able to show.
In the intense heat, a mixture of sunscreen, insect repellent and sweat ran into his eyes. Chris eventually left the festival and spent roughly an hour rinsing himself at the hotel. The trip leaves him exhausted, but still available to be sprayed with water in the studio.
Calum Scott takes the opposite chair
Calum Scott discusses leaving eight years of office work behind after the success of “Dancing on My Own”. His new life includes touring and supporting Jamie Lawson, a dramatic change from the routine he knew before his television breakthrough.
Wearing a white shirt that offers no protection, Calum plays Innuendo Bingo against Chris. Clips from World’s Strongest Man, cricket, ITV News and Robot Wars produce lines about failing to get something up, losing control of tosses, being disappointed in coming and a robot’s rear end. The sprays are immediate and sustained, making it one of the wettest editions in recent memory.
Dr Dot explains bite massage
Celebrity massage therapist Dr Dot describes a technique she began using on her mother at the age of five, when her hands were not strong enough to apply deep pressure. She now uses carefully controlled bites as a form of deep-tissue massage, without breaking the skin or leaving marks, comparing the effect to tenderising a steak.
Her celebrity clients and international network of nearly 1,000 “Dot Bots” fascinate Scott and Chris. Only Dr Dot performs the biting method herself, a distinction that gives the programme an entirely new understanding of a firm massage.
