Just keep the basics up, at home, at every opportunity, and game theory the reward pattern.
(we stash treats everywhere, so any 'come' may or may not be a treat). And then re-begin the proofing out in the wild.
It will get better.
That and try just being too silly to ignore. I give a very high pitched 'hip', which usually makes people laugh but it gets Calvin's attention.
Also try different words for come that have a different impetus.
I've found 'Hand/Touch' really good, where the nose to hand= treat, there are many others.
And then try games like place and go (treat to the ground, run off, command, treat on arrival, repeat. All of this works on the recall, and makes it more fun to be around you than the distraction, and thats the game won.And @snottyotter is right, that can help too.

Struggling with daisy at the moment, with exercising her enough. Her recall is terrible, nonexistent with the slightest distraction so anything off the lead isn't an option. Tried fetch on the long recall training lead against my best instincts but not keen to keep that up, feels like she'll tangle and break all her legs. She gets good walks, and little bursts of running on an 8m lead but it's just not enough. Tbh I feel terrible about it. Advice would be very welcome if anyone has any
