The best story of this Teen Commandments came when Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton swapped tales about Halloween going wrong for grown-ups. One of them recalled a friend who turned up to a Halloween party dressed as his ex-wife, complete with her actual wedding dress, not realising his ex would also be there. "She was there," Sara said, still clearly stunned by the story even in the telling.
Sara also had the audience laughing with her account of scoffing a hard-boiled egg outside Radio 2 before bumping into Jade from Little Mix, tub still in hand. "I felt such a loser," she admitted, comparing herself to an overzealous fan clutching a snack rather than an autograph.
The pair turned serious, in their own way, discussing whether women should "embrace the grey" rather than keep dyeing their hair, agreeing it only works if you stay fully glammed up elsewhere. Clare revealed she wants a perm but can't find a hairdresser friend willing to do it for free, prompting mock outrage from Sara about disloyal mates.
Listeners' Halloween costume stories were read out too, including a woman who convinced her nieces she was a zombie bride, and a caller called Larry's "dress as your worst nightmare" party, which produced a human exam paper and someone branded with the word "wanker" on their forehead.
Sara also shared that her son has been living it up during Freshers' Week, including one in-law's teenager apparently ringing NHS 111 over fresher's flu symptoms, a story Sara found "so cute" despite the mum's exasperation.
