Donny Osmond was the undoubted star turn, dropping into the studio to talk through his new Viva UK tour and reminiscing about Elvis Presley, who he said was "just a really nice guy backstage" but "a monster on stage". He joked when Sara Cox invited herself to Vegas, telling her "I'll get you the worst seat in the house", before good-naturedly turning down her offer to open for him with a Margaret Thatcher impression.

Listen: Donny Osmond and the Sheena request
The warmest moment came when Osmond heard about Sheena, a fan going through treatment whose husband Peter had written in. Osmond stopped the interview to ask for her details on air, promising "I'm going to get her tickets to my show" and to bring her backstage to meet him, prompting Sara to tell Peter he'd earned "mega husband points".
Elsewhere, Sara admitted she'd turned up to work looking "like an out-of-work clown" after mismatching her outfit, a dig Donny Osmond apparently repeated to her face once he arrived. Travel presenter Sally Traffic got a shout-out after apologising on air to fellow motorists for doing an impromptu "hanjive" dance at a roundabout in Derby. The Let's Hear It For The Noise game saw Chris Walters from Oldham, helped by his daughter Lisa, take the lead on the Legend Board with a score of three points, putting them in pole position for the week's pair of Sara Sox.
