Late Night Lycett. Image shows left to right: David Harewood, Rylan Clark-Neal, Joe Lycett, Daisy May Cooper, Greg James
Joe Lycett is joined by Daisy May Cooper, Rylan Clark, David Harewood and Greg James, plus Katherine Ryan, who has been invited back after she unfortunately missed her chance to be interviewed last Friday, as the canal boat she was on became unmoored, leading to her floating down Digbeth Branch Canal.

Further details

Joe asks Rylan who his showbiz friends are, with the presenter saying he can "count them on one hand". Rylan elaborates: "Ruth and Eamon, Claire from Steps... they're my little nook". Joe then reveals his showbiz friends with a ten-fingered hand, representing the ten members of Blazin' Squad.

In 2012, Rylan was told by Nicole Scherzinger that he was through to The X Factor live shows. This led to one of the most memorable moments from the talent show and was re-created here, with Daisy May Cooper taking the role of the Pussycat Doll.

Presenter Greg James joined Lycett, as Joe embodied Richard Yewtree. The duo rattled through topics including The Little Mermaid, Jim Davidson and French politician, Marlène Schiappa.

Joe had all his celebrity friends playing Finish Me Off, which he introduced with by saying "this is screamed behind the scenes at This Morning", leading to Rylan laughing. Here he read out a statement and the celebrities finished it.

Answers this week included:

Joe: "The word you'd use to describe your sex life is."
Rylan: "Dull."

Joe: "Daisy, the SNP spent the missing money on."
Daisy: "Hello Fresh boxes."

Last week it was Claire Sweeney, and this week Natalie Cassidy swapped Albert Square for Joe's local corner shop as she became shopkeeper for the night, with her picking Easter eggs out for Joe's guests - and an inadvertent shelf collapse.

After Linda Biscuits the dog had a wee on set, Joe sacked her saying: "Linda Biscuits, this is not the sort of behaviour I will tolerate from a crew member. No, it is unprofessional. There is a code of conduct and pissing on this set is definitely overstepping the mark. We sacked Carlos the sound man for the same thing, I can't do double standards. Linda, you're sacked."

Linda's sudden firing resulted in booing and chants of "Linda" from the guests and audience members.
