Sara Cox and Clare Hamilton howl at listener’s public spray tan ordeal

 
The Teen CommandmentsRecap of the show on

The best story of the episode came from Sean, who wrote in about redeeming an 80% off Sun Tropez voucher in the early noughties, only to find herself having her spray tan done on an open promotional stage in Manchester's Printworks, paper knickers on, while a glamorous bikini-clad model posed for photos right next to her. Sara Cox couldn't get over it, telling her "you're braver than me to go through with that," while Clare Hamilton pointed out the staff must have been stunned anyone actually agreed to do it.

Craig's email provided the other big laugh, after his family pulled his wife's old wedding dress out of storage for a bridesmaid dress trial, only to discover an old vibrator tucked in the same box. Sara and Clare pictured his daughters needing therapy after spotting "mum's old vibrator," with Clare joking it was "good one for the speeches."

Gigi also shared a confession from a drunken night at a friend's wedding in Sorrento, admitting she told her then 13-year-old son to "f off" after he suggested she go to bed, a moment she says he still brings up "about once a month" now he's 21.

The episode closed on a lighter note with a story from Norfolk about a man named Barry who staged his own living funeral in 1997, complete with a jazz band and a horse-drawn hearse, which Sara and Clare agreed sounded brilliant.
