Worst first dates

Emma Willis

Available for 26 days

There's no better feeling than a Saturday afternoon, right? Whether you’re out and about, or preparing for a glorious night in, Emma Willis is standing by to speak to you and hit shuffle on all your favourite music. On Mis-Match of the Day, Emma’s weekly dating slot with a twist, she chats to listeners about their worst first dates. Today, inspired by an email from Jenny in Oxford, we hear some of her truly unforgettable dating disasters from a date who kept taking notes but wouldn’t say what they were, to shared burgers and an unexpected dog companion. Got a worst first date story you’d like to share? Email Emma@bbc.co.uk now. After 2pm, it's the Saturday Matinee and you are the stars of the show! As theatres across the UK welcome their afternoon audiences, Emma checks in with all the performers out there. Today, we hear from comedian and impressionist Drew Cameron, who gatecrashes weddings and events as a host of iconic characters from Del Boy to Alan Carr and shares the story of his time on Britain’s Got Talent, where Ant & Dec told him to “break a leg”… only for him to do exactly that days later on his birthday! Ask your smart speaker to 'Play Radio 2'. Produced by Biscuit Jim Ltd for BBC Radio 2.
