Vicky Hawkesworth, filling in for Danny Mylo and Rosie Madison, kicked off a strong segment by confessing she once accidentally hung up on Mylo himself. She explained that after giving him her number over Instagram, she got a call from an unknown number days later and panicked, thinking it might be a scam or a prize call. "I just went, hang up, hung up," she told listeners, before realising moments later it had been Mylo returning her message as promised. She said the pair laughed it off afterwards, though she admitted "I'm pretty sure he thinks I hate him." She then invited listeners to share their own ghosting or hang-up mishaps, prompting a flood of texts, including one from Josh who revealed he saves unknown numbers under odd names like "Random New Year's Day train toilet" — which Josh admitted was now how his boss's number appeared in his phone.

Vicky also kept up the show's regular "team captain" tradition, asking listeners to voice-note in explaining why they deserved the honour of representing Early Breakfast for the day. After weighing up entries from Amy, Olly and Andrew (on behalf of someone called Paige), she handed the invisible crown to Jamie, who had a big work pitch ahead of him, telling him to "walk into that pitch" wearing it with pride.
