Nick Grimshaw and Rochelle Humes want Joan Rivers to come back from the dead to appear on 'Sweat The Small Stuff'.
The comedy panel show host and team captain Rochelle Humes of The Saturdays confessed they would've loved to have had the late comedienne - who passed away from surgical complications while undergoing a minor operation on her vocal cords last month - make a guest appearance.
Rochelle - who met Joan along with her bandmates when they appeared on her Fashion Police television show in the US - added that she will "always remember" the "brilliant" star.
When asked if she would bring anyone back from the dead to go on the BBC Three show, Rochelle told BANG Showbiz: "Joan Rivers. Me and the girls went on Fashion Police and she was so good with us, she was brilliant. But she said to me, 'Are you fat or pregnant?' And I was like, 'Pregnant'. And she was like, 'Good! F**k!'
"I'll always remember that she was brilliant. She had us all on there and had us talking about periods!"
Nick, 30, was quick to agree with the raven-haired beauty and described Joan as the "ideal guest" for the show - which also features radio DJ Melvin O'Doom as a team captain.
He said: "Oh yeah, she'd be wonderful. That's the ideal guest, Joan Rivers; someone who just does not give a f**k."
Sweat The Small Stuff airs on Wednesday nights at 10pm on BBC Three.

James Corden has become a father for the second time.
The comedian's wife Julia gave birth to their first daughter on Monday (27.10.14) and both mother and baby - who has been named Carey after her mum's maiden name - were said to be doing well last night, reports The Sun newspaper.
James, 36 - who also has son Max, three, with Julia - confessed that parenthood has changed his outlook on life, saying: "It has given me a sense of clarity".
The 'A League of Their Own' host - who lost 5st after Max was born - tied the knot with charity worker Julia in 2012 and earlier this year revealed his "best times" were weekends away with his family.
James also admitted that he gave his firstborn child the middle name McCartney as a bribe to The Beatles legend Sir Paul McCartney to appear in a Comic Relief sketch.
Speaking previously about how Sir Paul had accused him of "grovelling" after they met, he explained: "I then said, 'That's nothing - if you'd said no, I was going to say I would name my unborn child after you'. To which he said, 'If you promise to do that, I'll do the sketch'."

The 'X Factor' contestants have been banned from going near the windows of their mansion.
This year's hopefuls - who reside together in a £2.8 million north London property while they compete in the competition - have been ordered by show bosses to stay clear of the windows over fears they could distract fans and cause a road accident.
Producers of the ITV show are worried about the presence of young admirers who wait outside the mansion for a glimpse of the contestants and fear they could be tempted to run across the road if they spot their favourite star.
Barclay Beales - who is competing for this year's title as part of the eight-piece boyband, Stereo Kicks - told The Sun newspaper: "We have been told not to go near the windows for the safety of the fans outside.
"Sometimes the house can be mobbed by fans."
The hopefuls - who are working hard ahead of their Halloween-themed performances this Saturday (01.11.14) - are set to be joined on stage by series judge Cheryl Fernandez-Versini this week as she performs during the results show on Sunday (02.11.14).
Meanwhile, The X Factor's choreographer Brian Friedman confessed he is "thrilled" to be working with the 'Crazy, Stupid, Love' hitmaker and credited her for her hard working attitude and spirit during rehearsals.
He told the Daily Mirror newspaper: "I'm choreographing Cheryl's performance on the show this weekend. It's the first time I have ever worked with her in any capacity outside of being her creative director for X Factor, so I'm thrilled.
"In rehearsals she has been a dream artist to work with. She is a great dancer, she has great spirit and energy and she is a hard worker. It's been a while since she did the show, so it will be amazing to get back into that gear. I can't wait for it to hit the stage."

Fran Parman has called time on her relationship with James 'Diags' Bennewith after finding "naked" pictures of other women on his phone.
In last night's (29.10.14) episode of ITVBe's 'The Only Way Is Essex' James was seen breaking down as he confessed to best pal Tom Pearce that Fran had ended their relationship, insisting she didn't love him anymore.
He said: "Fran is saying she's seen pictures on my phone. Of three girls in underwear."
Quizzed on whether Fran had broken up with him, Diags added: "Yeah. I don't know what to do. She says she don't want to be near me, she says I'm disgusting. She don't even love me, I don't know what to do."
The former couple later met up for crisis talks as Diags attempted to build bridges with a furious Fran - who has recently been complaining about his laziness.
He pleaded: "I understand the pictures were bad. But these were from over two years ago. I didn't even know they were there.
"I've done nothing for you not to trust me. I back you with everything. I'm so, so sorry for having those pictures on my phone."
However, appearing unfazed by his apology, Fran stormed off claiming she'd been experiencing "insecurity issues" thanks to past relationships.

Derek Martin is to return to 'EastEnders' next year.
The 81-year-old actor will reprise his role as former cab driver Charlie Slater later this year after being axed from the BBC One soap in 2011, and he's confessed he's looking forward to reuniting with his "family".
He told the Daily Star newspaper: "In December and January, I am going back to make a couple of episodes. I don't know what the storyline is but I am booked.
"Charlie is living with one of his daughters in Manchester and I think I have gone on holiday somewhere, Lanzarote or something.
"I was in full-time between 2000 to 2011 and it becomes like a family. When you leave or get written out it is like a loss."
Derek - whose character Charlie is father to Kat Moon (Jessie Wallace) - hints his return may come as his family, which also includes mother-in-law Mo Harris (Laila Morse) and his great niece Stacey Branning (Lacey Turner), need him most.
He added: "They need the head of the family don't they?"
Charlie has previously been involved in a number of dramatic storylines, including one in which he was arrested for attacking Graham Foster (Alex McSweeney) after discovering he'd raped his daughter Little Mo (Kacey Ainsworth).

Jessica Wright has dumped her boyfriend Ricky Rayment after discovering he had been sending flirty messages to another woman.
In dramatic scenes that aired on 'The Only Way Is Essex' on ITVBe on Wednesday night (29.10.14), Jess confronted Ricky over the texts she had been forwarded on Twitter and dropped the bombshell that their two-year relationship was over.
Choosing Jasmin Walia's Diwali party at Sugar Hut to challenge him, the 29-year-old beauty said to Ricky: "I've been sent some messages on Twitter. I think you know what I'm talking about."
A stony-faced Ricky replied: "No I don't."
Jess, 29, then launched a tirade at him, shouting: "Don't patronise me. Don't you dare patronise me. You have humiliated me since day one. I have rowed with my family over you. How dare you! You are a liar. You don't love me."
Ricky, 24, tried to defend his actions, telling her: "I haven't been in a good place with you, so I have been flirting with other girls."
After deciding she didn't want to hear his excuses, Jess then called time on their romance, shouting: "If you thought our relationship was in a s**t place then it's in an even worse one now because we're done - forever! Stay the f**k away from me."
The couple's relationship had already been rocked by cheating claims last year and in September former 'X Factor' contestant Lottie Lou revealed it was her who Ricky had been unfaithful with at the start of their romance.

Lauren Goodger reportedly wants to pose topless.
The former 'The Only Way Is Essex' star has been posting a large number of raunchy selfies on her Instagram account in the past few weeks as it gives her a "confidence boost" and she's now said to be planning to go even further by stripping off for the camera.
A source revealed: "Lauren has told pals her sexy pictures give her the confidence boost she desperately needs. She jokes about her obsession with taking selfies but says they help her to believe in her sex appeal.
"She's told pals she's considering sharing raunchier pictures and is thinking about posing topless for fans to show the public how sexy she really is."
The 28-year-old beauty shocked fans with a saucy snap in which she's seen wearing nothing but a dressing gown, which barely protects her modesty, and a further photo - which she later deleted - which saw her bent over on her bed wearing a skimpy thong.
A source shared: "Lauren spends hours perfecting her photos to attract her dream man. She loves the reaction her pictures get, and just brushes off any negative comments. She says it's addictive, and she wants to be more like her idol Kim Kardashian."
Meanwhile, Lauren is said to be sending even racier material to a number of men - including a DJ and a former soap star - via text message.
A source told Closer magazine: "Lauren often sends half-naked selfies to men. She plans to experiment with even more photos, changing the lighting, location and what she's wearing."

The Apprentice's Steven Ugoalah thinks he's going to be a "millionaire" in the "next four years".
The 29-year-old social worker was fired alongside Sarah Dales and Ella Jade Bitton on last night's (29.10.14) episode of the BBC One entrepreneurial reality show but claims he's going to be hugely successful in the future.
Quizzed on what he'd most enjoyed about taking part, he exclusively told BANG Showbiz: "The learning, the coming up with ideas, implementing strategies and learning how to make money.
"I'm going to be a millionaire in the next four years and that's thanks to what I learnt on the show."
The Canadian-born business hopeful - who insists he has "no idea" why people found it "difficult" to get on with him - also responded to claims from former candidate Robert Goodwin, that he'd been washing in vinegar.
Steven said: "Well that just proved that he'd been going through my things inside the house, and I realised when he asked me about it, I thought about it afterwards and I was like, 'Geez is this guy going through my stuff?' I was a bit concerned.
"But maybe that's why he didn't want to put himself up for project manager, because he was too busy going through my things."
Meanwhile, former PA and hypnotherapist Sarah, 32 - who came under fire in the first week for suggesting the women's team should wear short skirts and lots of make-up in a bid to win the task - stands by her strategy, even though she thinks it lost her her place.
When asked where she thinks it went wrong for her, she said: "The problem was putting myself forward for project manager in the first week and the tactics and strategy I used to try and win the task didn't put me in a great light with the girls and therefore I felt that they wanted to push me out earlier."
She added: "We needed to use our girl power, we needed to use our femininity to try and beat the boys, that's why I used that strategy."

Neil Gaiman wants to write an episode of 'Doctor Who' for Peter Capaldi.
The author - who previously penned 'The Doctor's Wife' in 2011 and 'Nightmare in Silver' last year - is keen to write another script for the BBC One sci-fi series' current star.
According to Digital Spy, he told fellow writer Audrey Niffenegger at a Q&A in New York: "Whenever I'm in the UK, I sneak into meetings with [the production team]. They say, 'Can you do another one?!' and I say, 'Yes! But not yet!'"
"Now I'm just sort of hoping that I can get one done while Peter Capaldi is still the Doctor, because it would be a very sad thing if I lost my chance to write for a grumpy, Scottish Doctor."
The British-born novelist wants to return to write for 'Doctor Who' as he believes there are "boxes left to tick" that haven't featured in his previous efforts.
He explained:"I haven't done an episode set on Earth yet, and I haven't created a new monster.
"So there are boxes left to tick. And there's part of me that feels... I haven't scared anybody yet. I'd love to do something that sends adults behind the sofa too and makes them wee."
