Chris Stark turned up to Capital Breakfast visibly sore after a "Pro Am" paddle tournament alongside comedian Jason Manford, but he couldn't contain his pride at the trophy he'd picked up. "I definitely was not the most valuable player in this tournament by any stretch," Chris admitted, as Jordan North and the team ribbed him mercilessly, suggesting he keep his new watch "in the airing cupboard" rather than on display.

Jordan North then delivered one of the show's weirdest moments, transforming into a Spanish weather system for a bizarre in-character bit as "El Niño", complete with non-handed castanet noises and warnings about "amigo Stormosten" heading for the UK. Listeners flooded in with reactions, with Jordan reading out one text branding it "both the best and weirdest thing I've heard", while another joked the show "does go south without Sian."

Sian Welby was missing from the show because her baby daughter Ruby was unwell, with Jordan and Chris repeatedly stressing "family first" throughout the morning and promising she hopes to be back for Friday's Feel Yourself Friday special, a show dedicated to breast cancer awareness where listeners are being urged to wear pink and Tom Grennan will appear.
Chris Stark also revealed the full lineup for Capital Buzz Live at London's Indigo at the O2 on 1 December, naming Keisha, Moola Jones, Arthur Hill, Flower of Love, Chloe and Bash Croft as the rising stars set to perform, with tickets going on general sale on Global Player at 10am.
