Clara Amfo was in full preacher mode for Stevie Wonder today, declaring "never trust anybody that doesn't like Stevie Wonder" before reminding listeners he's touring the UK (Birmingham, London, Manchester and Scotland) with his Songs in the Key of Life shows. She followed it with a heartfelt "Trevor's Trove" tribute to Alicia Keys, playing the non-single deep cut When It's All Over, complete with a cameo from her son Egypt on the outro – "don't worry, you haven't got a random kid just in your ether," Clara reassured listeners.
The big game of the day, One Second to Name, had Clara genuinely stumped ("that was quite a gas for me"), with wrong guesses flooding in for everyone from John Paul Young to Anita Baker. The answer – Edison Lighthouse's Love Grows – was eventually confirmed by caller Lindsay from Leicestershire, who nailed it instantly from her workplace, sending love to partner Jason, dog Luna and son Dan along the way.
Elsewhere, travel reporter Bobby battled a relentless list of closures, most notably a stubborn M4 shutdown near Swindon that refused to reopen all afternoon. Clara also teased Rylan's upcoming ABBA vs Bee Gees disco special, sparking a quick debate with Bobby, who went firmly for the Bee Gees: "so much more to them if you don't know how magic they are."
