The cabin crew’s hidden bedroom
Scott and Chris finish their run on the Breakfast Show, with the effects of the previous day’s Tabasco still being discussed. Chris also reveals something he learned during his flight home from the United States: on a long-haul aircraft, cabin crew may have a concealed rest compartment reached through a small door and narrow stairs.
The space contains tight sleeping berths with pillows and duvets, allowing crew members to rest for an hour or two away from passengers. A cabin-crew listener is unimpressed that Chris has exposed the private retreat. Its cramped dimensions nevertheless make it clear that the area is practical rather than luxurious.
Celebrity Big Brother entrant Ricky Norwood, known for playing Fatboy in EastEnders, also speaks after his identity is revealed. Following his character’s departure, he sees the programme as a chance to decide what comes next and show viewers more of himself.
Kungs turns a school hobby into a hit
Nineteen-year-old French DJ Kungs discusses the success of “This Girl”, his collaboration built around Cookin’ on 3 Burners. It has reached number two in the UK, held from the top by Drake. He began making music while still at school, and his parents have allowed him to postpone university while the opportunity develops.
Kungs explains that he found his stage name through Google Translate while looking at words connected with being a gentleman. What began as a teenage production hobby has quickly placed him on international radio and festival stages.
Jason meets the caterpillar cake
Jason Derulo speaks from Los Angeles about the compilation Platinum Hits and its new song “Kiss the Sky”, also connected with the animated film Storks. The conversation takes place around his brother’s birthday, leading Chris to explain British party customs.
Chris describes the familiar caterpillar-shaped chocolate cake and the tradition of birthday bumps. Jason is amused by both, contrasting them with a celebration involving drinks on the deck. He then plays a game identifying his own hits and recognises every one, ending the week with a perfect knowledge of his back catalogue and a new awareness of how a British family might mark a birthday.
