Actor and comedian Lolly Adefope joined Romesh Ranganathan live in the studio on Saturday, two days before her West End debut in Oh Mary!, taking over from Catherine Tate. Adefope discussed her Graham Norton appearance alongside Tom Cruise, recalling that he told her "we are forever bonded now" after her Mission Impossible cameo, and joked about hoping to make his exclusive coconut cake list. She also spoke about rehearsals for Oh Mary!, saying nerves during early rehearsals fade as "it becomes muscle memory," and reflected on the growth of Ghosts ahead of the film spin-off Ghosts: The Possession of Button House, out 23 October. She admitted she only half-believes listener ghost stories, judging them on "vibe" and detail, and recounted a surreal encounter with Adam Ant performing Prince Charming at a house party.
The show also featured its regular segments: Family Three Tunes saw the Ray family compete, with sister Hazel winning and getting Janet Jackson's That's the Way Love Goes played. In Pitch Your Passion, Mary from Copthorne beat Angela from North Wales, with Park Run triumphing over gypsy wagon restoration after a listener vote. Listeners shared Saturday plans, backhanded compliments and ghost stories throughout the show.
Ellie Taylor also dropped in to preview her run standing in for Emma Willis on It Takes Two during Strictly Come Dancing season, discussing a "dance floor disaster" of her own and previewing new music from Sugababes.
