Charlie Hedges and Jeremiah Asiamah welcomed Sam Smith into the Live Lounge, and things got silly almost immediately when Sam revealed their slightly raspy voice had been given its own name for the day. "Her name's Sheila," Sam explained, "she's a little bit raspy." Sheila clearly didn't let the side down, with Sam performing new track My Guy from fifth album Hazel Eyes and a stripped-back cover of Lily Allen's The Fear that left both presenters close to tears. "I just want to go and cry somewhere for five minutes," Charlie admitted afterwards.
The chat got properly messy once food came up. Sam, self-declared leader of their Instagram "fat pig" fan army, talked Charlie and Jerry through yesterday's eating exploits, including a tub of ice cream, two bags of crisps and a chocolate-covered custard cream binge, before building an elaborate dream fish and chip order complete with curry sauce, mushy peas and "a couple of easy chicken for the driver". Pressed on the album title, Sam admitted it wasn't quite as romantic as fans think: their partner doesn't actually have hazel eyes, "I thought Hazel Eyes were brown, like the colour of Hazel Nuts," Sam laughed, before deciding they're "changing the definition" anyway.
Elsewhere, a caller named Sam rang in to back Charlie after Jerry's underwear habits sparked chat the previous day, insisting during an MRI she heard Jerry "talking about how he doesn't actually change his underwear". The One Second Club also returned, with caller Abby failing to identify a clip from The Saturdays, despite a cheerful shoutout to her boyfriend Nick and dog Alfie.
