Katie Thistleton and Emil Franchi hosted Going Home on Radio 1, revealing that WWE star and actor John Cena will appear on the show for a Kids Ask segment, where children put cheeky questions to celebrities. Listeners were asked to get in touch if they know a child keen to quiz Cena.
The pair opened with a phone-in inspired by Rita Ora's "just friends who like rollercoasters" comment about Michael B. Jordan, asking listeners to sum up their own relationships the same way. Suggestions poured in, from couples bonded by Titanic trivia and Shaun of the Dead quotes to shared love of Jaffa cakes and true crime documentaries.
The long-running Who's in the Box game continued into its third day, with a Hamlet quote as the latest clue. Guesses including Niall Horan and Leonardo DiCaprio were wrong again, leaving the mystery guest unsolved.
Emil recapped a "low level villainy" prank from his weekend breakfast show, in which he read Adele's "Hello" lyrics down the phone as if in conversation, a stunt suggested by a listener called Callum.
In Complete the Year, caller Sophie from Norfolk tackled 2021, correctly naming Bridgerton's Netflix renewal but failing on a Daft Punk question, prompting Katie to joke she felt "a little bit daft."
The presenters also discussed a reported shortage of entrants for the Mr England competition, joking about whether Emil should enter, before choosing Ryan Gosling's "I'm Just Ken" as their 5:30 anthem theme tune.
