Matt admits Harry Styles is the celebrity he reckons he could pull

 
Matt and MollieRecap of the show on

The big talking point on Matt and Mollie's Monday show was Matt finally revealing which celebrity he reckons he could "pull on his best day": Harry Styles. Listener Tina asked if it was Matt's "secret celebrity", prompting Matt to admit Sam and Danni had already quizzed him on it the day before, guessing names including Alison Hammond, Margot Robbie and Sabrina Carpenter before he settled on Styles. Matt said the confession had "kicked off on the internet" since it aired.

Mollie had her own story from the weekend, describing a trip to the NFL game at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium with her partner Stuart, where she left her seat to buy a brownie-and-warm-milk snack only to return and find "the big, big top dog of the whole of the NFL" sitting in it. She ended up standing at the back for the rest of the game rather than confront him.

Battle Tracks saw Matt pitch an Oliver Twist track against Mollie's Becky Hill choice, with listener Jimmy brought in as decider. Jimmy initially went quiet, teasing the pair, before texting to apologise that his phone had died at work and backing Mollie's pick: "I will go with Mollie's choice though." Matt admitted beforehand he knew he wouldn't enjoy Mollie's song, joking he could "separate the art from the artist."

The Don't Match Matt quiz ran through five quick-fire rounds — something you plug in, a school subject, a country beginning with S, another word for money and a salad ingredient — with listeners invited to play along and avoid matching Matt's answers. James Marriott's Burn Down the Disco was named Tune of the Week, with Matt praising its "old school Calvin Harris" energy.
