GK Barry took on her own game solo this week after one listener accused her of going easy on the words in Slip It In. Stung by the criticism, she rang Jedward and slipped the word "flabbergasted" into the conversation a staggering 26 times without them noticing, joking afterwards, "never, ever underestimate me."
The Royal Diva Club reopened its doors when Leah called in to nominate her husband Jack, who she says told her he was "not very well" eleven times within an hour of waking up with a cold. GK happily inducted him, declaring "drama queen" territory well and truly earned, before riffing on fictional divas of her own, nominating Peppa Pig, Wallace from Wallace and Gromit, and D.W. from Arthur for good measure.
Whose First Was Worse turned to driving lessons, with listeners sharing disaster stories including Emily from Birmingham getting pulled over by police after stalling four times, only to be given a sarcastic "nice driving, love" and a thumbs up as they drove off. GK crowned her the winner of the week. She also shared her own tale of failing a test because of a broken fuse, joking she's still owed "some compensation" from the DVLA.
Elsewhere, GK fielded a university survival plea from a listener called Ed ahead of freshers' season, dishing out tongue-in-cheek advice about spending your whole loan in week one and the inevitable air fryer in every student kitchen. She also replayed Nothing But Thieves' Live Lounge performance and plugged more Live Lounge Month shows, including Sam Smith on Friday and Chase & Status the following Wednesday.
