Alison Hammond was the star guest on Radio 1 Breakfast with Greg James, marking the station's 59th birthday. Hammond, who now judges Bake Off, discussed the new series and its line-up of bakers before taking part in Sit Down Stand Up, phoning surprise guests to guess whether they were sitting or standing. She correctly called Paul Hollywood, who was at home baking "a cheesy focaccia" and watching the news, then guessed right again for Nigella Lawson, who said of her Bake Off co-stars: "I just love hanging out with those three reprobates." Natalie Cassidy was also called and picked up sitting down having her make-up done. Hammond declared herself the winner of the game.
Earlier, the show's daily quiz was contested by a listener named Danny, a vet nurse, who scored 13 points but missed out on a place in the final. Greg James and the team also discussed Fat Bear Week, revealing that Backpack the Bear had won the title, prompting a rendition of The Bare Necessities.
Listeners took part in the 10 Minute Takeover, choosing Panic! At The Disco, Little Mix and Sean Paul, and Green Day. The show also featured Radio 1's Live Lounge Month highlights and a new song from Jamie T, "Tallahassee", ahead of his album Ghosts of Twenty Hundred Days of Mourning. Greg James previewed Wednesday's show, with Florence Pugh and Mike Feist from East of Eden due to appear after 8am. Jerry joined Charlie Hedges at 10.30 to continue the programme.
