Monday's Matt and Mollie kicked off with Matt Edmondson admitting he'd said something "weird" during their usual on-air hug, telling Mollie King: "I feel like I know the feel of your body so well." Rather than let it go, the pair decided to put it to the test, roping in a string of Radio 1 colleagues including Liv, Tom and producer Travis for a blindfolded line-up so Mollie could try to pick Matt out by touch alone. She confidently identified two possible "Matts" but got it wrong both times, mistaking colleague Liv for Matt and producer Travis for Matt too. Mollie admitted defeat, saying she clearly had "no skills," while Matt teased that they'd simply need to hug more often to keep her in practice.

Matt also told a story from a half-term pumpkin-picking trip, revealing his family discovered the magician at the event was actually "Robbie the Wizard," a balloon modeller Matt knew personally. He joked that Robbie is "the Taylor Swift of balloon modelling," much to Mollie's amusement, and admitted his kids now assume he knows every magician they ever meet.

Elsewhere, Battle Tracks saw listener Tabby pick Mollie's song pitch over Matt's, choosing Lady Gaga and Ariana Grande's Rain on Me, with Mollie delighting in her win as Tabby called her pitch "fun." The Don't Match Matt quiz ran as usual, with Matt setting a run of silly categories while listeners played along at home.
