Scott reveals the uncomfortable aftermath of cake roulette featuring laxatives, while Chappers makes hilariously contradictory statements about his football loyalties ahead of the Chelsea vs Manchester United Champions League final.
The show opens with Scott describing in vivid detail what happened after he ate a slice of cake containing laxatives the night before — a segment he’d promised to record but admitted he didn’t have time when “you’ve got to go, you’ve got to go.” He was up roughly every hour through the night, which he notes wasn’t pleasant. Becky, who prepared the cake and mixed up which slice had the laxatives in it, is absent from the show for a few days as a result, though Scott clarifies she hasn’t been fired or hospitalized.
The main comedic meat of the episode centres on Chappers, the football pundit. Scott plays back an edited montage of Chappers’ comments caught during an off-air conversation, revealing a series of outrageous — and contradictory — statements: he claims to love Chelsea (while supposedly being a Manchester United fan), then admits he’s starting to love Liverpool better than Manchester United, and fantasises about Frank Lampard mud wrestling with Cristiano Ronaldo. The team mercilessly wind him up about these remarks, and Chappers becomes visibly upset, insisting he takes football very seriously and doesn’t appreciate the ribbing.
The show also features a recurring segment about things you can’t resist shouting at celebrities because they secretly love it. Scott discusses how someone spotted Victor Meljou’s wife from *One Foot in the Grave* on a train and didn’t say “I don’t believe it” — prompting Scott to insist that celebrities absolutely love having their catchphrases repeated back to them, citing Catherine Tate’s “Am I bothered?” as an example.
Becky’s Classified Ads segment returns, though she’s absent from the studio this week.
