With Jordan North, Chris Stark and Sian Welby away for half-term, Will Manning took the reins and landed one of the funnier chats of the week with Katherine Ryan, who was in to promote her memoir Firstborn Daughter. Asked whether she'd ever do Celebrity Traitors, Ryan said she worried she'd be a terrible liar because she's quit Botox, joking "that's how they learn to communicate" about needing to pull faces for her children. She also revealed she was "recently nearly cast in a West End musical" before being dropped at the last minute after "someone in America heard me sing and said nah."

Ryan spent much of the interview plugging her friend John Richardson's book instead of her own, something Will found hilarious, later telling listeners after the interview that "she just ended up promoting John Richardson's book more than her own." The pair also played a game called "A Review of You or Who", where Ryan correctly guessed that a glowing review belonged to her Netflix special Glitter Room, but was less pleased to learn an unofficial scented candle bearing her face was being sold by her husband's cousin.
Earlier, Will shared a tale about bumping into a "rival breakfast show presenter" in the gym, telling him Capital's Cash Call jackpot had hit £666,000, claiming the rival's "eyes glazed, his shoulders dropped." Weatherman GG also returned with his daily "one minute what to wear" guide, advising listeners to wrap up with a "windbreaker" despite misleadingly mild temperatures.
