Charley Marlowe calls herself a ‘gremlin’ after live on-air fluff

 
Radio 1 Group ChatRecap of the show on

Charley Marlowe had a wobbly moment live on air when she tried to introduce a Calvin Harris track straight after playing Odeal's Live Lounge cover, only to mangle the handover completely. Vicky Hawkesworth couldn't resist teasing her afterwards, telling Charley she was "kind of turning momentarily turning to a gremlin in that moment." Charley took it in good humour, admitting "I don't know what that was, sorry."

It followed a bigger confession earlier in the show, when the pair revisited Charley's blunder from the previous week, where she'd told listeners Ella Langley would be appearing in the Live Lounge when it was actually Stella Lefty. Vicky had corrected her live on air at the time, and the pair used it to launch a playful segment where Vicky tested whether Charley could "spin" her way out of awkward situations rather than apologising, including what to do if your boss catches you on the loo. Charley's advice: "There's a mute button for a reason."

The Rogue Quiz returned too, with listeners texting in guesses as Vicky and Charley worked through clues pointing to Thor, Joe Jonas, Jason Kelsey, Prince William and Bridgerton's Anthony. The overall theme, confirmed by Ruby and Neil among others, was that they're all the oldest brother in their family. It's back again next week with a fresh theme.

Elsewhere, the pair celebrated another big week of Live Lounge Month, with Chasing Status and Debbie's cover praised by both hosts, and previewed Bebe Rexha, Rachel Chinouriri and Odeal's upcoming sessions.
