Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton's Teen Commandments took a properly funny turn this week when Sara revisited one of her most-told stories: nearly kissing Will Smith live on The Big Breakfast while interviewing him about screen kisses. "He leant in… as our lips were like a millimetre apart, he paused and then pulled away," Sara recalled, adding she went "hot everywhere" in the moment. Clare couldn't resist asking if Sara still thinks about it now.
Elsewhere the pair tackled a less glamorous subject: builders. Sara revealed a previous workman used to leave an unflushed "present" in her bathroom every visit, a story that apparently caused a stir when raised on the radio before, with several builders getting in touch to insist they actually use a local café before arriving at a job. Clare topped it with a tale about her friend Emily's builder who allegedly used the loo, newspaper in hand, every single morning before starting work.
The episode also had a genuinely touching moment, with Sara describing her uncle's funeral in Salford, complete with a full-blown conga line in his memory. "We really enjoyed ourselves… it was sad, but it was happy," she said, while discussing how kids cope with their first funerals and swapping dark, oddly comic details from the day. Sara also opened up about an emotional reunion with Maxine Peake, her old school friend, after interviewing her on the Radio 2 breakfast show.
