The warmest moment on Capital Breakfast's Make Some Noise day came when Kemi Rogers was brought back into the studio to be told exactly how much her Cutty Sark mast climb had raised. Jordan North and Sian Welby, presenting without Chris Stark who was away on a golf weekend, revealed listener donations had pushed her total from £75,000 on the day itself to £211,000. Sponsors Holland & Barrett then surprised her with a hamper and a further £10,000 cheque, leaving Kemi in tears live on air.
Sian also used the charity theme to deliver an unscripted, heartfelt speech about kindness and social media negativity, telling listeners "you are loved, you are important, we do see you." Texts flooded in afterwards, with one listener writing "I'm actually crying," and Jordan calling it "beautiful."
Elsewhere the fun continued with LBC's Tom Swarbrick popping in to play the Bong Game for charity, nervously beating it to win £2,500, which Holland & Barrett then doubled to £5,000. Jordan spent much of the show fretting about losing his passport before a big weekend out, having already lost his wallet, while confessing his long history of binning phones and headphones by accident.
The show also flagged Capital's £1.5 million cash call, said to be the biggest prize ever given away on British radio, with lines closing at 5pm for entries by text.
