Capital Breakfast had a proper pinch-me moment when Welsh singer Jamie Miller, riding high with his huge hit "Baby Doll", turned up straight from the airport. "I didn't look like this when I landed, my guy's got me good," he told Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby, admitting he'd got changed into a shirt and tie in the airport toilet before coming on air. He spoke movingly about his mentor Jennifer Hudson from his Voice days, saying she once told him "if you don't believe in yourself, no one's going to believe in you," and the team promised to take him out for drinks and even floated a cameo on Love Island spin-off Off Campus.
Listen: Jamie Miller's airport-to-studio dash
Chris Stark came in fired up after a weekend spent clearing his garage for darts season, unveiling a run of increasingly daft made-up darts "holidays" including Halladarts and Dartsmas, and begging listeners to send in photos of their home setups. Sian, meanwhile, was still buzzing from the Pride of Britain Awards the night before, revealing she'd stepped in last-minute to present an award to "a wonderful woman called Elaine" after another presenter dropped out, and that Andy Burnham had told Jordan backstage he's a regular listener.
Listen: Breathe-out jar theory put to the test
The show also tested a wild claim from Chris's mother-in-law Karen that you can open any stuck jar lid "if you breathe out," with Jordan and Sian successfully cracking open a jam jar and a jar of sausages live on air, though the giant pickle jar proved tougher going. Elsewhere, Deborah in Manchester bagged herself £750 on the Bong Game while rushing her poorly dog Dexter to the vet, and the team previewed Friday's "Feel Yourself Friday" breast cancer awareness special, which will feature singer Tom Grennan.
