Welcome back to the Chris Moyles Show on Radio X Podcast!Hey here’s a fun fact for you… did you know Flo Rida is named that because he’s from Florida?! (yeh, you’re welcome!!)We’ve had a completely normal, and very sensible week on The Chris Moyles Show… said no one ever! Chris is back from his South African Safari, so obviously chaos resumes. We welcomed the Music Propstore gang, attempted to prank Dom (he’s a tough one to crack!), and of course rolled out the big guns - Stupid Amnesty and Reverse Words. Proper highbrow stuff.And somehow amongst all that we still squeezed in three massive guests…Pop icon and friend of the show Melanie C popped in ahead of the release of her ninth studio album Sweat! With top goss on which Spice Girl tracks are her favourite and least favourite, and we even played a round of Reverse Words with her!!Sir Lenny Henry also joined us to chat about heading back on tour for the first time in 15 years - yes, FIFTEEN, and shared stories about what inspired his upcoming tour, plus a bit of Comic Relief chat too, of course!!Ralf Little and Will Mellor also burst into the studio, like two lads who’d had too much sugar. Will admitted he didn’t understand Ralf’s play (but at least he was trying to be supportive), and he confirmed he’s basically become the voice of birds on TV adverts. Meanwhile, Ralf’s off being talented and successful as the lead role in The Spy Who Came From The Cold.And as we love to spoil you, here’s some extra bits from this week…The Captain Clump songPlace names with exclamation marksChris’ new friend BryceEnjoy!The Chris Moyles Show on Radio X!Weekdays 6:30am - 10am
