*not as dodgy as it sounds
Rylan Clarke-Neal has said that he would like to have a magic button to give him anonymity once his working day is over. He always wanted to be famous, and now says being recognised everywhere he goes isn’t all it’s cracked up to be.
I know exactly what my Magic Button would do; it would allow me to eat whatever I want, without gaining weight or any other health repercussions. Bliss! However, I felt a little shallow when the listeners of Early Breakfast got in touch to tell me what they would do with their Magic Buttons… so many were about spending more time with loved ones. Oh.
