Chappers debuts a new guessing game where he has to estimate how many kissing partners callers have had, while a listener’s confusion between Kelly Osbourne and Kerry Katona leads to an awkward on-air moment.
The show opens with Craig from Exeter calling in after an uncomfortable relationship conversation — he’s disclosed to his new girlfriend that he’s had 14 previous partners, while she’s only had three. Scott and the team discuss whether this number disparity is acceptable, with the consensus that it’s generally worse when your partner’s count is lower than yours.
The main segment features Flirt Divert messages from weekend encounters, including some memorably garbled voicemails that the team attempts to decode — one caller apparently says “I want to have another go on you” from what sounds like a fairground ride, and another leaves a lengthy list of names that may or may not be real.
A standout moment involves a caller to The Surgery (a separate segment) who addresses Kelly Osbourne but repeatedly confuses her with Kerry Katona, even complimenting her Iceland supermarket ads. Kelly’s face falls as she realises the mix-up, and Dr Mark has to step in to clarify. Scott notes the irony that he was once called “Chris” throughout an interview with her, though he insists he had nothing to do with this particular confusion.
The episode’s centrepiece is “Play Your Boing Right,” a new game where Chappers has to guess the number of kissing partners three callers have had by asking questions and deciding whether to go higher or lower. He guesses seven for 21-year-old Amy (wrong — it’s 18 boys and 3 girls), two for builder Ginger (wrong — it’s 11), and 47 for 31-year-old John from Nottingham (very wrong — John’s only had one partner). Chappers performs poorly throughout, winning nothing, but takes the loss with good humour.
