Charlie Hedges reveals she took a very public tumble while DJing at Wembley

 
Charlie and JerryRecap of the show on

Charlie Hedges gave listeners a proper laugh on Monday's show, confessing she'd "stacked it" in front of 11,000 people while DJing at Wembley Arena over the weekend. She told Jeremiah Asiamah that she normally wears trainers to DJ but decided on heels this time, with near-disastrous results. "One of my heels came off the back of the DJ booth. I fell backwards in front of everybody," she said, explaining she only saved herself by grabbing a fader with two fingers. She joked she was grateful no footage had surfaced online, prompting a run of listener stories about their own embarrassing falls.

The big musical moment came when Stella Lefty dropped into the Live Lounge as part of Live Lounge Month, performing Boston and a cover of Taylor Swift's I Knew It, I Knew You. She admitted Taylor doesn't know about the cover yet, saying "I just hope I do a good job so that she thinks it's okay," and asked Charlie and Jerry to help break the news. Stella also revealed Boston began life as a manifestation written while waiting for her now-boyfriend to pick her up for their first date, and that chatting to Marcus Mumford this year was one of her biggest pinch-me moments.

Winner Stays On ran its nature-themed round, with listener Gavin's picks copping some stick on text, settling on Lady Gaga's Rain On Me as the week's winning track. The Two Second Club also continued, with Kirsten correctly guessing Kid Laroi's Girls on day two, prompting Charlie to promise she'd walk to work "in Crocs" if a listener manages to get the clip right.
