Rylan Clark dropped into Ellie Taylor's Radio 2 show the day before his birthday and was handed a card from the studio team reading "Rylan, happy 50th. You're looking fly, Daddy." Rylan, who is actually turning 38, took it in good humour, joking "some parts of my face are only three or four" before launching into a rant about parking at Harlow Hospital, where he's been visiting a poorly Linda. "There's like eight car parks with 40 spaces, it's like the Crystal Maze," he told Ellie, vowing to start a campaign for better parking.

Andrew Cooper from Manchester provided the pick of the Dance Floor Disasters calls, telling Ellie how he trod on the back of his new wife Jill's wedding dress in 1993, ripping it off from the knee down to the shock of the whole reception. It turned out Jill, who'd made the dress herself, had secretly fitted press studs so she could remove the bottom third for dancing. "I wasn't in on it," Andrew admitted, revealing he and Jill are still together 33 years on.

In her weekly Strictly Speaking segment, Ellie played a clip of Craig Revel Horwood reflecting on his much-mocked Icons Week look, including a painted-on monobrow. "That was a disgrace, I think that's the worst I've ever looked," Craig said, while Johannes Radebe weighed in on nicknames for the It Takes Two green room, including "the Johannix" and "Jojo's Dojo."
Travel presenter Sally Traffic also chatted with Ellie about Storm Bula battering Northern Ireland and the north, and a very expensive trip to a pumpkin patch with her daughter.
