Jo Whiley wraps up her brilliant week hosting The Live Lounge tour with highlights including Noel Gallagher, while the show continues its running gag about celebrity cosmetic surgery.
The episode opens with a feature on how to be the perfect boyfriend, an educational video created for the show’s website. The tutorial walks through steps including listening to your girlfriend, loving her friends and family, being hygienic, and crucially, being faithful — with the observation that step seven could’ve been the only one needed.
Jo is visibly emotional and on a high, reflecting on an exceptional week hosting The Live Lounge tour. She’s been riding the wave of interviewing major guests including Noel Gallagher, and recalls magical moments like watching him teach Ben how to play Wonderwall in his bedroom. When asked to pick just one special moment from the week, she struggles to choose, emphasizing how incredible the entire experience has been.
The show then pivots to its ongoing obsession with celebrity cosmetic surgery, specifically Cheryl Cole’s appearance in The Sun. The team discusses whether her breasts are real or fake, with heated debate about how they can possibly know. One of the presenters insists they’re real because his girlfriend was in the same band and would have compared notes with her. There’s mention of Peter Stringfellow studying the question closely, and they reference a premium-rate phone line viewers could call to vote — which has apparently been barred, possibly due to the show’s previous commentary.
The episode wraps with stories from the papers, including a mishap where The Four Tops’ satnav took them to Chelmsford instead of Cheltenham for a gig with 300 waiting fans.
