Summary

Step into the hilarious chaos of Simon Mayo's Confessions in this week’s episode! We're kicking things off with Tom, who shares a childhood mishap involving an axe, his brother, and a dramatic trip to A&E—all while contemplating the parenting choices of the '80s.

Then Darcy comes up with a creative yet dubious cover story for her friend. Mark’s story is of a daring, if not chilly, dare during his time in the army, and don’t miss Johnny Two Brushes, who accidentally filled his wife's car's screen wash with blue paint water, leading to a perplexing automotive adventure.

With laughter, nostalgia, and a sprinkle of mischief, this episode has something for everyone. Do you have a confession of your own? We want to hear it at confessions@greatesthitsradio.co.uk!
