Thursday's Going Home was all about Celebrity Traitors, which launches this evening, and Katie and Emil marked the occasion by bringing in last year's breakout faithful, Joe Marler. He revealed his usual trick on fans who recognise him in the street: telling them the show "was all scripted" just to watch their faces drop, before admitting "I am so sorry it wasn't scripted." He also dazzled the hosts with a fact about the mantis shrimp punching water "as hot as the surface of the sun," and heard that a listener named her son Marler after him. The segment's funniest twist came via a phone call purporting to be an old Traitors castle nemesis, Alan Carr, though it turned out to be "Dan from Southampton" doing an uncanny impression.
Elsewhere, the Who's in the Box guessing game was finally solved after five days, with listeners correctly naming Sadie Sink. Katie and Emil issued an on-air apology after a listener complained for the second day running that they'd failed to use Sir Ian McKellen's title in an earlier clue, with Katie saying, "I'm really sorry, he is a sir, you're right about that."
The pair also ran a Draft Mode battle on "top three things your parents still do for you," swapping stories about phone contracts, Amazon accounts and mums emptying kitchen cupboards. Listeners' "Stop Everything" messages ranged from Glastonbury ticket excitement to a Travelodge apology story on the news. Looking ahead, they announced wrestling star John Cena will join the show next week for a kids' Q&A segment, and confirmed Vick Hope returns to the show on Wednesday.
