Hollywood royalty landed in the Sara Cox Breakfast Show studio as Andrew Garfield turned up to chat about his new peasants' revolt epic The Uprising, out 9 October. The funniest tale of the morning was his account of filming with an ox called Prince: "we did hang out a bunch… I kept in touch," Garfield joked, before explaining the animal refused to plough once cameras rolled because "he wasn't an actor, he didn't consent to being in a movie." Visual effects had to step in.
Garfield also owned up to being a Traitors obsessive, admitting he's "stressed" for contestant James and confessing he'd struggle to play a traitor himself because actors "find it hard to lie in a weird way." He fielded listener questions ranging from Hula Hoop etiquette to a run-in with a fan on electric bikes, where he says he had to tell her off for a dangerous manoeuvre: "I'm not worth it, man, I'm not worth it."
Elsewhere, the show's regular Let's Hear It For The Noise game saw postroom worker Richard from Middlesex managing just one point, taking home a Sara Cox toothbrush rather than the coveted Sara Sox, which stayed with last Friday's winner Paul from Bath. The All Request Half Hour was packed with shout-outs, including sensory baby-class teacher Lauren marking her last day after five years, and a flurry of wedding and birthday dedications.
Listeners also sent in three-word reviews of the new Celebrity Traitors series, with "pure gold television" and "what a walley" among the favourites.
