Bobbi Bunker kicked off her Sunday shift with a confession she says she loves dropping into icebreakers: at 15 she played football for England. “It was like the best day of my life,” she told listeners, before admitting the dream ended quickly. “We got beat 5-0 off Wales, and at that point I knew it was time to retire.”
Later in the show Bobbi opened up about her favourite “little treats”, the small joys that get her through the day. These included letting her toenails grow slightly too long because it “feels nice and cosy” in her socks, and deliberately leaving extra space behind the car in front in traffic so starting off again “feels like I’m not in traffic anymore”. She also confessed to walking around barefoot purely so she can “smush my toes into the carpet” now that she’s had it replaced.

Music-wise, Bobbi played a brand new track from Jungle, calling them the perfect Sunday band for “a little bit of a kitchen party”. She also spun Jamie T’s new single and reminded listeners that odEdd and Georgia Smith’s recent Radio 1 Live Lounge sessions, including Georgia Smith’s version which has become Jack Saunders’ and Greg James’ track of the week, are all available to catch up on via BBC Sounds.
