What do toe sucking, sushi, the "Happy Birthday" song, and Mondays all have in common? Why they're the subjects of unpopular opinions on today's segment of well, "Unpopular Opinion."

Dua Lipa and Elton John appeared on the BBC Radio 1 breakfast show with Greg James to respond to the general public opine on topics close to their heart.

Listener Ryan defended his hatred of sushi, much to sushi lover Dua Lipa's disagreement. One chipper caller Keri proffered that Monday is the best day of the week. Sorry but even Elton couldn't get on board with that one.

Mitch shared his dislike for feet, which prompted a rather stomach-turning conversation about pedicures and shaving the dead skin off the soles of one's feet. Mitch then brought up toe sucking with his rugby mates, which is enough to put anyone off their breakfast. Finally Niamh told the world she hates the birthday song. Who hurt you, Niamh?
