Jordan North spent much of Wednesday's show building up to Thursday's guest, John Cena, and the big reveal didn't disappoint. North's mum had dug out his old homemade wrestling costume from childhood, complete with iron-on letters spelling "Mighty Machine" across the front. "It was my uncle Brian's cycling gear," North admitted, as Chris Stark and Sian Welby pointed out the costume looked child-sized and covered in stains. North insisted he'd wear it for Cena, though Welby talked him out of the full outfit, suggesting instead he reveal matching velcro trousers hidden under his clothes all morning, which he duly ripped off live on air.

Tinie Tempah dropped by to promote his new album The Night's Not Dead, out Friday after a nine-year gap, and admitted fatherhood had slowed him down: "Maybe I changed one or two too many nappies." He also tried a Philly cheesesteak-inspired McDonald's order live in the studio and stepped in to record Single Jingles for listeners Katie from Blackburn and Rich, rapping dating-profile endorsements for their single friends.
Listener Steph from Canterbury called in to confess a genuine phobia of the Bong Man, explaining she has to switch off for the full fifteen minutes the game is on air. "I've never heard the Bong because that long I'm out," she said, tracing the fear back to a childhood game against the clock. Elsewhere in the Bong Game, Scott from Nottinghamshire banked £1,110 for his four horses and new puppy, falling short of the £4,000 on offer.
