Kiko Bun’s sticky situation
Kiko Bun visited after returning from Glastonbury, where he had joined Shy FX on stage during Emeli Sandé’s show and recorded a session for Clara Amfo. Scott and Chris had strongly supported “Sticky Situation”, while Kiko had responded with festival videos promising to visit.
Listeners proposed beer, orange juice, pineapple juice and treacle for a themed Innuendo Bingo. Scott rejected anything sugary after admitting that coffee he once spilt across a Radio 1 desk had gradually broken the controls during the following presenter’s programme.
Kiko discussed an old casting notice seeking an expressive 18-to-23-year-old woman to play his girlfriend in a video. The role would leave somebody with “love interest of Kiko Bun” on her acting CV, while the show proposed “Kiko Huns” as the collective name for his supporters.
He played Bingo wearing a small umbrella hat opposite Chris. Clips from Come Dine with Me, Emeli Sandé, The Gadget Show and other programmes defeated the protective headgear and produced another soaking. Kiko survived his first appearance and agreed to return.
The boy lost at Glastonbury
Scott and Chris browsed a Glastonbury lost-property group filled with missing phones, bags, jackets and festival hats. Carla called to report something less conventional: she had lost a man.
While working at a food stand, she met a bearded festival-goer who helped when her friend Rachel became ill. They later danced together in Block9, then Carla slept in his tent while he returned to the night. She had to leave for work before he came back and never collected his full name or number.
She thought he was called Alex, worked in construction and came from Essex. He might have a girlfriend, but Carla had not received that impression. Scott asked her to draw him from memory, warning that an unrelated Essex builder could be alarmed when the image appeared online. The show promised to follow the search.
Real or No Real from Wimbledon
Greg James appeared live from Wimbledon dressed as a ball boy, improving on Scott and Chris’s previous visit when the lack of matches left them practising alone. Craig David joined him on the roof for a special Real or No Real.
The facts included Rihanna launching a pizza brand, Jess Glynne asking herself what Geri Halliwell would do and a machine printing Andy or Judy Murray’s face onto coffee foam. The final item was real and available at the tournament.
Greg and Craig defeated Scott 20-love, accompanied by applause from spectators who had gathered around the live broadcast. The result gave Wimbledon an atmosphere Scott’s ordinary studio games rarely achieved.
