Matt Cardle plays Truth or Dare and Scott’s Slip It In game gets stranger
Scott was amused by the difference between rehearsal clothes and television clothes after hearing about a presenter turning up in jogging bottoms before a show, only to discover that Katherine Jenkins was the guest. The team used the story to revive their enthusiasm for pyjama jeans, the product that promised a wearer could look ready for work while still essentially dressed for bed.
They also highlighted a Teen Awards special from the previous evening, particularly a gloriously mangled line about “great celebrity guests and some amazing teen hairs”. It was the kind of accidental phrase that became funnier every time Scott replayed it, especially when the original broadcast was otherwise trying to sound suitably polished.
Slip It In returned with a deliberately ridiculous set of wrestling-move phrases. Scott tried to work “donkey omelette” into a call with Chris from the news, while Beccy had to make “vertical beef” sound natural. The whole point was to repeat the phrase as many times as possible before the other person noticed.
Beccy proved alarmingly good at it, managing 16 uses in one call and making Scott and Chris’s own totals look feeble. Their previous argument about whether repeating a word endlessly counted as playing properly was never far away, but the day’s calls showed that subtlety was no longer the game’s strongest quality.
Matt Cardle then joined the programme to discuss moving on from The X Factor and returning to its studio as an established artist. Scott and the team put him through Truth or Dare, including a recording from Matt’s brother Dom. Matt recognised the voice immediately and braced himself for a family secret he plainly would have preferred not to have revisited on Radio 1.
