It is to embarassing

I like it that they let Catherine Tate come on and do her 'Nan' sketch!

Yes please. Who,apart from the actual callers enjoys those idiots phoning?

Agree

Joyce - airtime
bless her - fine for radio, but really

Who was the blond haired guy in the sweaty box that used to do a great impression of Jedward? I think he is Joycee!

yeah worst part of the show.

I'm starting to think BOTS is completely fabricated! If it's not the same callers it's the same studio audience. I swear the callers are in the studio. Nothing at all seems real about BOTS to me!

I skip through it. Nonsense blathering by, often, the same callers.

Those calls are so fake ...and why do they keep having the same people on over and over again .. They will always talk about the same people they like

I always fast forward the phone bit it's cringe just don't get why they bother with it

2 words too many in the thread title.

Emma does... she gets a fantastic ego-boost every time she does the phone-in, they only let her fan-club call

How are ya! Fine, how are you?!, great!.....are you O.K?...yeah, great!.....are you OK?..yeah, I'm really great!...you look beautiful! Aw..thanks,...I am going all red now! Great to hear from you (again)......you are doing a great job, and AJ and the one with the teeth are really great...love ya...love you too...! one other thing, I think your great..!........Awwwww!

Next caller please......Hi!....how are you?.......great!......how..............oh no not again.....

Joicey ....male or female

I agree, no one enjoys the callers - cxl them and add more exclusives.

Rylan! I'm convinced of it. She never seems to call when Rylan is presenting! Funny that...

Majority of the time their piss-heads or nutters. I would rather see a couple more exclusives.

They are just calls to big up the presenters

I have learned my lesson i now record the HL show and Botts, so I can skip through both and only watch the LF live.....

Come on folks, they have to let the back room staff have some air time. I don't think half of them are genuine callers.

Great idea. It's an uncomfortable tedious element and could easily be ditched.

It doesn't help that unlike other phone-ins where they weed out the weirdos or nasty ones, BB seems to go for the ones who'll make most impact.

same here

It would make sense to ditch it & allow for more time to actually finish the show!! It seems they are always running out of time for this & that!

The calls have become a way of puffing up Emma and Rylan's egos. They even invited old Joycie to ring in tonight merely to tell Emma what a wonderful, beautiful presenter she is.
Bit of a disgrace!!
