The story of Ed and no phone
Monday
Whilst Rachel was away on holiday, she had constant texts, tweets, facebook posts, what's apps and emails from Ed, and she has finally had enough!
It appears that Ed is truly addicted to his Smart phone, and therefore Rachel has decided to take his phone away from him and see if he can last a week without using Twitter/Facebook or his iPhone!
We got you to guess how long you think he will survive without his phone , and you can check out what you thought here:

So Ed hasn't cracked yet and has managed to restrain himself from logging on to Twitter or Facebook, and even said that it had been a nice relief to not constantly be on his phone!
He was however, to everyones annoyance, still distracted in yesterday's meetings as he had found the phone's games! It seems that Ed will never stop being inattentive, phone or no phone!
On today's show Rachel decided to see how important Ed's Facebook friends are by quizzing him on how well he knew who's birthday it was today and whether or not he actually knew them!

To everyone's surprise Ed actually managed to go a whole five days without Facebook and Twitter, and this is coming from someone who was literally addicted to his phone and being online!
He now even claims that he hasn't really missed it and has enjoyed the freedom from constantly being attached to his phone! If you missed this mornings show, then listen back here to what Ed has learnt from the past five days:
You can also listen back to the reaction of Rachel giving back Ed his phone and Facebook and Twitter passwords:
The real question is, has Ed really changed his ways, or will he still be constantly Facebooking and Tweeting!!
