Trevor Nelson opened Funky Friday still reeling from The Traitors, joking that he "can't unsee James Blunt in the shower scrubbing, exfoliating himself away there." Travel presenter Bobbie Pryor played along, wondering aloud whether the singer is "like that at home" or if it's all for the cameras, with Trevor agreeing the show "knows what they're doing" when it comes to those viral little moments.
The Trevor Trove went deep into nostalgia as Trevor dusted off George Benson's version of The Greatest Love of All, revealing he first heard it aged 12 via a Muhammad Ali biopic and still prefers it to Whitney Houston's famous cover. Listeners flooded in with their own memories, including Rob "the soul boy" from West Sussex and Justine in Twickenham, who called it her all-time favourite.
The Five Seconds to Name game produced a lovely moment when Kirsty from Wrexham, who said she'd been trying to get through "for two years," finally got her call and correctly named Massive Attack, requesting Unfinished Sympathy as her prize tune.
Trevor also marked what he called a "world first," broadcasting a live link with fellow Radio 2 DJ Mark Goodier as the show crossed into Drivetime. Trevor thanked Goodier warmly, telling him, "without you I would never have joined the BBC."
Looking ahead, Trevor plugged Monday's Sara Cox Breakfast Show, teasing a reunion chat with Liberty X's Michelle Heaton and Hear'Say's Kym Marsh marking 25 years since their pop group origins.
