The Weakest Link fans were left in stitches after one BBC Radio 2 presenter was left red-faced after suffering an awkward gaffe. On Saturday (October 4), host Romesh Ranganathan welcomed some of his fellow Radio 2 colleagues onto the show in an effort to win up to £50,000 for their chosen charity. This week, radio presenters Scott Mills, Rylan Clark, Zoe Ball, Tony Blackburn, Jo Whiley, Trevor Nelson, Michael Ball, and Sally ‘Traffic’ Boazman came onto the show for a special celebrity special.
During the first round of the show, the stars were asked a series of music-based question to warm up but Trevor was left utterly ashamed after he got one question embarrassingly wrong. Romesh asked him: “In events, the 2025 Glastonbury Festival took place in which month of the year?” to which he incorrectly answered: “July” instead of “June”.

It didn’t take long before viewers flocked to X – formerly known as Twitter – to poke fun at the gap in his knowledge online. One user penned: “Not so clever Trevor” as another chuckled: “Oh dear, not knowing when Glastonbury is. Not a good look Trevor.” A third chimed in with: “Isn’t that ironic Trevor!”
The 61-year-old DJ couldn’t help but chuckle as he wakled off stage, later telling the camera that he’s “happy with being notorious”. He confessed: “I think I’ll go down in history as the DJ that got Glastonbury wrong, but I like being notorious.”
But he wasn’t the only broadcaster who was left embarrassed during the show, after Tony Blackburn found himself in a bit of a pickle aftet he was thrown a tricky question. The comic asked: “Trevor, what D is the term for a male duck?”
Completely stumped, Tony simply replied: “A duckette?” as the cast burst into laughter around him. Rylan chuckled: “I love you Tony so much” as Zoe Ball agreed: “You’re the greatest who ever lived”. Ultimately, Tony was sent packing, leaving Rylan Clark and Michael Ball soaring through to the grand final.

In the final round, where the radio hosts were pitted against one another, they got exactly four out of five answers correct, sending them into a sudden-death round. But it was the baritone singer who stormed to success in the final round, successfully raising £11,600 for his chosen charity.
He gushed: “That’s amazing, this is for Shooting Star Children’s Hospice. I’ve been a patron for 15 years, and they do incredible work with kids with life-limiting illnesses and their families, and they’ll be thrilled to bits.”
