Katie Thistleton kicked off the show by letting listeners in on a secret: producer Sophie had sent Vick Hope out of the studio under the pretext of recording trailer lines, so Katie could set up a prank based on a TikTok theory from an American living in the UK. His claim was that mentioning "sticky toffee pudding" to any British person makes them ask whether you had it with custard, then launch into a lengthy chat about puddings. Sure enough, when Vick returned and Katie casually brought it up, Vick asked exactly that question and went off on a tangent about picking at leftover pudding when she worked in a pub. Katie revealed the prank afterwards, telling Vick, "his theory is true, it's true, it does come up."

The daily "Who's in the Box" guessing game ended in defeat, after listeners spent two clues convinced the mystery celebrity was linked to royal wedding rings and church bells. Despite strong theories for Taylor Swift, Beyoncé and even Charlotte Church, Katie and Vick settled on Raye as their final answer, only for it to be wrong. "That was a royal fail, I'm afraid," Katie said, with the game rolling over to next week.
Singer Rachel Chinouriri popped in after her Live Lounge session and smashed a Quickfire body-parts round, scoring 20, only to be narrowly beaten by Vick's 26 (or "27, if follicles count"). Ali Plum also returned for the midweek movie spelling game, which ended in a 3-3 draw between Vick and Katie after mix-ups including "Bridgerton" instead of "Bridget" and a near-miss on "Kung Fu Panda."
