Bobbi Bunker kicked off Early Breakfast with a confession: this was her first time on "proper Radio 1" after previously covering Anthems, and she was determined to be on her best behaviour. That didn't stop her admitting her dad needed convincing, recalling him asking "are you going on proper Radio One?" when she told him the news.
Away from the big milestone, Bobbi had listeners laughing with her account of raiding a free buffet at her "muggle job" at a university, describing herself stuffing "every single beige item" in sight like "an episode of Man vs Food." She also lamented doing her food shop while feeling virtuous, leaving her with oats and berries instead of the bacon butty she craved after an early start.
There was also a nod to a growing north-east presence on Radio 1 weekends, with Bobbi pointing out the Tyne-Wear rivalry building up as she handed over to fellow north-easterner Emil Franchi at 7am, following on from Luke Carr's shift the previous weekend. She signed off with a playful "Red and White Army" aimed squarely at Emil.
Musically, Bobbi flagged new material from Interplanetary Criminal and Silver Bullet, following their summer anthem "On Tonight," plus a first play for Rosie's new single "New Trick," tipped as one for Olivia Rodrigo fans.
