Television presenters were all making albums
Scott and Chris had noticed a growing number of familiar television personalities releasing records.
Alexander Armstrong, Bradley Walsh, Nick Knowles and others had moved from presenting or acting into albums of standards and familiar songs.
The pair wondered whether there was now a point in a television career when somebody simply received a call informing them it was time to make an album.
A chocolatier revealed what customers really ordered
Profession Confessions returned with a chocolatier who had seen far more than ordinary boxes of truffles.
Customers had asked for intimate body parts to be recreated or dipped in chocolate, sometimes sending photographs as reference material.
One customer had even complained that novelty penis-shaped straws supplied for an order were not realistic enough.
The more complicated jobs involved people ordering romantic gifts for somebody who was not their partner.
One man became particularly anxious after the chocolatier posted a photograph of a hamper online. His wife saw it and tagged him while saying she wanted one too.
The problem was that the hamper in the photograph had already been ordered by him for somebody else.
He urgently asked for the image to be removed.
Scott and Chris christened the problem “cheating chocolates”, while the chocolatier took a pragmatic view: she was running a business and could not investigate the morality of every order.
Tinder trouble set up a new investigation
The programme also heard more stories of dates disappearing without explanation.
The growing collection of unanswered messages, vanished matches and people who simply stopped responding gave Scott and Chris the beginnings of an idea for a feature that would arrive properly the following day.
