Sexted’s very rude spelling bee

 
Help I Sexted My BossRecap of the show on

Things got filthy fast on Help I Sexted My Boss, with producer Ben setting Jordan North and William Hanson a "Sexted-style spelling bee" full of words neither of them wanted to say out loud. William floundered over "dyspareunia", guessing wildly at the spelling before Jordan finally read out the correct version, while both men tripped up on double letters in "flaccid" and "nymphomaniac". The contest ended in a tie after both nailed their final words, with William joking the whole exercise had "fallen apart" by the end.

Jordan also revealed his unexpected weekend ritual: candles. "I have weekend candles, is that just me?" he asked William, before confessing to being an M&S ambassador for Kelly Hoppen's range and insisting number four is "the best candle on the weekend".

Listener Harrison got a proper response after accusing Jordan of exaggerating his "top five hangovers" bit, with the team producing receipts showing he'd mentioned one in seven separate episodes. Jordan then drew up a definitive list live on air, ranking a rough night in Leeds in 2009, a Blackburn match day bender and a mystery wedding hangover, though he couldn't quite remember whose wedding it was.

William also fielded an etiquette query about slurping ramen in Japan and Korea, promising to research further, while the pair discussed a listener's suggestion of using microscopic wasps to solve a moth infestation.
