The best call of the morning came from Rhys, out running in London, who revealed he once collided with Harry Styles at a chaotic water station during last year's Berlin Marathon. "I was about to go for him," he admitted, before realising who it was and wisely backing off — the pair then ran the final six miles side by side, with Styles giving him a "good running bro" at the finish.
Emil Franchi also heard from Matt, who dozed off on a beach four-poster in Mexico and woke to find himself sitting in the middle of a stranger's wedding. "I sat and watched the entire wedding," he laughed, having been left there by his wife who'd wandered off to the bar. Sean topped it with a story of accidentally gatecrashing a Spanish bridge opening in Calpe, ending up swigging sangria with local dignitaries.
Elsewhere, listeners tracked the scramble for Glastonbury 2027 tickets live on air, with general sale reportedly selling out within about 15 minutes. The show's weekly one-word story feature saw Ed from Worthing reveal his chosen word, "pepper", referred to his rescue dog of the same name. And Strathmore Women's Rugby player Vicky, backed by listeners in Saturday's shout-out segment, reported a "convincing win" on her comeback game alongside Aberdeen Grammar. With half marathons taking place seemingly everywhere, Franchi spent much of the show sending good luck messages to runners up and down the country.
