25 February 2008: Flirt Divert and Celebrity Messages

 

A Monday edition packed with Flirt Divert messages, including potential calls from Big Brother alumni and the question of whether Perez Hilton actually left a voicemail, plus more tales from Scott’s cleaner and whether she was flirting with him.

The show opens with the week’s Flirt Divert segment, where Scott and the team sift through weekend answer phone messages to spot celebrity callers among the fakes. The standout moment comes when what sounds like Darren Day (the first-ever Big Brother winner) calls back about a Big Brother reunion event, claiming he can’t make it due to other commitments—a minor betrayal of his reality TV roots that Scott finds amusing. Another message sounds like it could be Craig David or possibly just a convincing impressionist doing a South London accent, leading to debate in the studio about whether it’s genuine or a scout’s impression. Throughout the segment, Scott and his team work through the tension between plausible-sounding voices and the knowledge that most Flirt Divert calls are fake or pranks, so every potential celebrity sighting requires healthy skepticism. The existing description also flags stories about Scott’s cleaner and the ongoing question of whether she was flirting with him, though the transcript doesn’t clearly capture those segments. The episode also references Perez Hilton, suggesting his involvement in the voicemail mystery, though the exact nature of his participation remains unclear from the available material.
