Lynette
Zofia's nan Lynette was the voice behind Granny Tinder, the Radio 1 segment in which she judged Tinder profiles on Scott and Chris's show, popping up with health updates, hearing tests and the occasional firefighter rescue along the way.
Lynette returned for the last Granny Tinder to choose a date for granddaughter Zofia, while Scott and Chris burned their secret final song onto a CD and locked it in a box. [...]
Lynette came back from Christmas to judge more profiles and told Sasha to forget the man who fled a date over sweaty armpits, while Chris broadcast from home beside a brisket cooking low and slow. [...]
Lynette rejected a panto actor and Santa Claus, reassured a listener about being single at Christmas and then became trapped in an endless exchange of Merry Christmases with Scott and Chris. [...]
Lynette came back after illness and revealed firefighters had evacuated her flooded bungalow complex by making her climb on all fours onto a wobbling float. [...]
Lynette admitted she once had a boyfriend at weekends and lunch with another admirer during the week, before advising a listener that honesty was the only safe way to see more than one person. [...]
Lynette became unavailable for the first time in a year because she was socialising with neighbours, while lockdown couples explained whether moving in together after only weeks had ended in love or disaster. [...]
Lynette rejected names including OAP-E and OnlyGrans for her proposed exercise podcast before returning to the serious business of swiping through Zofia's Tinder. [...]
Lynette had to cut short her Tinder judging to make a hearing appointment, while a Maya Jama Big Weekend rumour went into Real or No Real and Bangers travelled to Crieff. [...]
Zofia's misreading of “cologne” gave Granny Tinder a new pronunciation to remember, while Lynette judged Italian fashion designer Stefano and celebrated being fully vaccinated. [...]
Scott imagined Joel Corry and Blossoms disappearing beneath months of uncut hair, while Lynette's Zoom voice somehow reminded the team of both the Queen and Skepta. [...]
