Rylan could barely contain himself when Hear'Say and Liberty X arrived together in the studio to discuss their surprise joint 25th anniversary arena tour. "This is such a moment," he told them, admitting his "leg is twitching" with excitement at having both bands in one room.
The chat turned deliciously gossipy when Rylan put some AI-generated "facts" to the group. Jessica from Liberty X confirmed a wild story about her early career, saying a boob tube mishap happened after Richard Branson sprayed champagne over her: "I had the worst screw face… it was horrendous." Michelle from Hear'Say then admitted that life on the noughties Smash Hits tour was "carnage," revealing she met her first husband there while several band members, by her account, all ended up dating Duncan from Blue at various points. "We're all dating Duncan," one of the group laughed, before Michelle added, "I'm just going to incriminate myself on that spot."

Rylan also roped Jessica into a ka-ry-oke duet of Liberty X's Thinking It Over, taking on the Kevin and Tony harmonies himself, joking "believe me, BBC mics, they just cut it."

Couch Potatoes saw reigning champion Emily fend off new challenger Dan, with Emily scoring eight out of ten to Dan's six, meaning she stays in the hot seat for next week's Halloween special. Rylan spent much of the afternoon lobbying, half seriously, for a storm or an airport lounge to be named after him, before producer Joanna revealed this year's "R" storm is already named Reuben.
