Basically, apparently, like, you know, between every race, they change the car. And it's like if one team didn't... We're talking about Formula One, everybody, sorry. Apparently, if one team didn't make adjustments to their car between every race, between the beginning and the end of the season, the gap between first and last place would be like 40 minutes. Like, it's so intense how much they have to change and adjust between every race.

And like it's crazy. Also, the thing I find the crazy is actually about all of it, how quickly they change the tires. Sorry. That is, isn't there a whole documentary on that? Because it is fascinating. Like it's like a dance. Yeah.

It's amazing. Choreographed to the second. Yeah. That's why I always get so gassed when they win, but like it's all about the team, let the team go absolutely crazy because you just think, look at what they're doing. Well, this is the thing about everything, like, you know, actors, musicians, presenters, TV people, like you get that one person wins the prize or the award, but like really everyone in the team should actually get the same award.

Up on stage. Yeah. Agreed. You think people don't realize like... Takes a village. Yeah. City in Formula One case. Formula One's a case. Yeah. I wonder how much they get paid. Who? The guys in the pits. Probably the engineers I reckon get paid quite a lot. Do you reckon? Yeah. Like the office people, no. Can we get a fact check on how much Formula One... I think they're called... What are they called? Mechanics. Mechanics or much a Formula One, I think they're called mechanics.

Mechanics or engineers, I don't know what they're called. Well, there's surely two different things. Are the engineers the ones working on the car surely aren't the ones on race weekend there, or are they? Oh, no idea, no idea. So if you're a graduate, it's 27 to 32, and then junior it's 45 to 65, and then the highest you can get up to is 750, no it's not 750,

150k a year. 150k. That's an engineer, not a mechanic. For a Formula One team, maybe go and do it as like a hall pass to that. You know there are some jobs that like once you do it, you've got a hall pass. Yes. To do what you actually want to do. Yes.

Although I don't know what the step would be from that. Rockets? What else are you working on? They're another group of people that just fascinate me. Astronauts. You know that film Hidden Figures? Yeah, it's just been put on Netflix, hasn't it? I mean, I watched it years ago, but I feel that everyone's just watching it. Mental.

Yeah. And like, okay, what's even more mental is that before computers, they were doing all of that science in there, like manually. Yeah. That's what I find. They put a person on the moon. Why laughing? Yeah.

Just think like, it's amazing. Humans are like, there are actually so many amazing people on earth that actually often don't get the credit they deserve. And amazing jobs. I don't know. Did you ever have like a careers advisor where you would like sit down and talk to them about what you wanted to do? And it's like, they don't tell you all of it. Career options that are presented to you are so narrow. They want you to do the big three. What is it? Doctor, lawyer, accountant, finance. On the careers

day, it's literally that law, medicine, finance, and then it's like, I don't know, PR. Yeah. Like just really not that there's anything wrong, obviously, with those jobs, but like the horizon in real life is so broad. Yeah. How are you to know that if you aren't presented with those options at 17? You watched, what? Wait, is I'm a celeb out?

Not yet. Coming out. Oh, by the time this goes out, it might have just started. What do you think of the line up? Apparently, guys, that's leaked. No, that's confirmed. Apparently not. And ITV are in absolute cahoots because someone leaked it. And I was like, that's so interesting because when you look back at the Sun article,

not everyone is in their I'm a Celeb pictures. Did you notice? Yes. So apparently it's an ITV leak and they weren't going to release it yet. That's not... They don't normally release it so far. I mean, it could be right. It's probably...

It could be the line up, but it wasn't their official release. Normally that's why I thought it came out this Sunday because it is normally literally three or four days before. It probably is. Apparently someone on ITV leaked it and now it's all like stress. So I just think, why are you paying a job at like, of all the things to leak. Well, I wouldn't. What did the Sun pay? Let's talk about it because I've got some Invisalign on my list.

And if someone said to me, you can have Invisalign if you tell us that I'm a celeb lineup and I work to ITV, I might accept to do that. How much do you think they're paying? The Sun? Yeah. Come on. What did they pay Vardy? They paid a lot.

Hundreds and hundreds of thousands of pounds. Or didn't they just get her on the front cover or something? Value exchange. Front cover, I reckon, is close to a mil. For The Sun? Yeah. Wait, yeah. You've plucked that from your ass.

How much do you think they're selling their buying story? I think it's a lot because even, you know sometimes... Well, to leak, like, yes please, to leak that kind kind of information you'd need a hefty sum to like force you to do it. Well also you would lose your job. If you found out. Well like surely they must know. Rats everywhere.

Fascinating. Also there must be only so many people at ITV that know the lie. Like think about how locked down that information will be. It will be a small pool that they'll be now interrogating. I'm saying a hundred pound for a page lead story. A hundred quid? Well, you wouldn't do it for a hundi, would you? Are you having me? A hundi?

I think it was like juicy, like the Wagga for Christie stuff. It probably would have been like 25k. A hundred quid? I think it would be. 25 grand is not enough in my opinion. 25k. Can I lose my job over that? No. Well, no, because if I'm going to lose my job, I'd like a little three month sabbatical.

You've got to be able to at least afford that. If that's less than my annual salary, no, thank you. Wow. Anyway, I think it's a good line up. What do you think? Um, yeah, I think... Oh, she's not... Rihanna's young, guys, so she doesn't know half of them. There are some people in there, I'm like, who are you? Sure.

Who are the people that you don't know? Because if they're the soap stars, then I think you're with the general public. Soap stars, I know. We know Corrie. Oh, really? I know Corrie. Okay, fine. Don't you worry, she knows Corrie.

Tulisa? She knows End Ups. The loose woman, Jane, did you not know her? She's the one with the blonde bob. Rich, Reverend Rich? No. No idea. No, I think he'll be impressed.

Yeah. Yeah, yeah, and he might pray for them. Danny, is his name Danny? I always get, yeah, Danny Jones from McFly. No, no, no. I think he'll be impressed. Yeah. Yeah, yeah. And he might pray for them. Danny, is his name Danny? I always get, yeah, Danny Jones from McFly. Were you a Busted girl? Neither, because you're so young.

She's so young. Oh my God, we have to get Busted McFly tickets. Sorry, I keep putting that on my to-do. We must get them. I know. Should we intro? Yes. Let's intro.

Do you want to go for it? Hello. Welcome to Leave A Message. It's hosted by the incredible Ali McIntosh and myself, Georgina Forsyth-Reed. I forgot my name. This is the podcast where you send in your voice notes and we listen to them every week with joy and confusion often. Yes. While you make the same mistakes again and again. But alas, we do it too. So don't worry

about it. It's the same space. And we're But alas, we do it too, so don't worry about it, it's the same space. And we're going to listen to your voice notes, we're going to talk about them, we're going to laugh about them, and then we're going to move on with our lives. Good. Let's go. What are they called? Oh, let's give them like a, let's give them an I am a celeb name. Talisa. Talisa. Hi girls. So I thought I'd just leave a message. First of all, love the pod. Obsessed. A lovely

little celeb encounter for you. I work in Soho right near Berwick Street Market and one day I was in the market grabbing my lunch, having a pretty rough day. And then all of a sudden I see Paul Mescal and I thought, oh my God, the heart starts pacing. Her palms are sweaty. And I was like, this is it. This is my chance. We're going to fall in love. We're going to have gorgeous babies.

And you know, it's Paul Mescal. It's gorgeous. It's Connell. I walk past him and I do the cringiest wave in the world, like a wiggle wave, like fingers were wiggling wave. He looks at me, he's got his earphones in and he goes, I'm really sorry I'm on the phone, but like mouths it to me.

And I've just wiggle waved at him. And then I just went around the corner and just stood there as though he was going to come and find me. I don't really know what I thought was going to happen. And I just waited and he never did find me. Haven't had his babies yet. Just the whole embarrassment of it to this day when I think about it. Why did I girly wiggly wave at him? And then a few days later I did meet Andrew Scott and that was great.

Oh my God. And love him. Yet to meet Harry Styles. But yeah, thought I'd let you know that one, girls. Love you lots. Love you, babe. Thanks, babe. Sorry, why do we not know how to interact with celebrities? They are people. I was going to say, what is wrong with everybody?

What's wrong with us all? We behave like they're like a different species. They're normal people, but I do it too. Like, I've got a bit better now. Yeah. But some people we meet, I do just like word vomit for no reason. No babe, that hasn't happened for a long time. We haven't met anyone famous in a long time. You have.

Yes, well with Perrie Edwards, I was such a loser. No babe, you won. Yes, I won because everyone said, if you did one thing you shouldn't do is mention girl bands or Little Mix. And the first thing I did was like... Ha-ha-ha! We all look like we're dressed like a girl band! No, but you won. And everyone was like, don't say that, G.

You should have seen Lily's face. Lily's face. I just like, I do just... I wouldn't do that with like Sally down the road. Well, sometimes I do actually. I do say weird things sometimes. No, that's not true. Yeah, I don't think that's a peri- like, It's not a peri- ed-vers thing.

It's not a peri-ed-vers thing. It's just like, it's a being caught off guard thing actually more than anything. I think you would like, you didn't word for me, Peri. I think the weird one is when, a bit like this, when you've either had a crush on them, or you really feel like you know them, because you've listened to lots of their stuff. Especially when they're in the muggle world. I think maybe for us it's because we know we're going to meet them. Yes, I'm preempting it.

I'm primed and I know if we're in a bathroom, that BGT thing, it's not out of the realm of possibility for a famous person to be stood next to us. So it's like, do you know what I mean? So it's like, I kind of am in the environment. But if you're in Borough Market or wherever she was, and Paul Metzger was mouthing at you, and you know, you've actually, like, probably wanked over him in that gold chain, do you know what I mean?

Just saying. He's always about... No, babe, I've seen him. I was walking into... And he held the door open for me and I just did this. Wait, was I with you? Was us? Yeah.

No, also we had a really weird day where we'd seen someone else and we didn't even really... And then we saw Paul Mesquitelle. Yeah, do you remember? That was ages ago. Ages ago. And he wasn't very tall. They never are. Okay, I'll tell you who's out and about Harry Styles.

If you want to see Harry Styles, he's everywhere. Just because Jack Taylor bumped into him. No, but also all the paparazzi pictures of him on the Heath, him on Oxford Street, him on a line by. Every single paparazzi picture of him on a line by. He's doing exposure therapy. He's like, if everyone just sees me, they won't be bothered anymore. Can I say that's what I like about the UK? Because in America, you'd never be able to do that.

No. Well, yeah. Have you seen, I don't know, in LA, like they're all famous. But like the paparazzi there are, like there are no paparazzi other than obviously the Daily Mail with their long lens. Oh, they call the paparazzi on themselves. They do. And I know this for a fact.

They do. And they'll say, we're at this restaurant. That's true. And they call the paps and then they leave. But like there are so many occasions where like you will see a famous person walking out of like a restaurant in London and there'll be no paps, like Paul at Soho House. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whereas I feel like, I do feel like in America that he wouldn't get away with it.

I don't know. I don't know. Maybe it depends on whether you're having a moment or not. Yeah, true. Like if you're interesting at the time, then yeah, maybe not. Like Paul right now gladiators coming out. Yes, Paul don't leave your house. Or like he did say when normal people first came out, like quite overwhelming, because

also it came out in lockdown. It's what people do like Kate Winslet is a really good example because she lives like locally to my parents. Does she? Yeah, yeah, yeah. So does Amanda Holden. They all live in the Cotswolds. Shezza lives near my mum, apparently.

But they all just, because you get used to seeing them. Yeah. My mum did say, though, once she was at the ATM behind Kate Winslet, and Kate turned around, and apparently my mum just went, God, you're beautiful. So pervy. That's it. If you see them once, it's a shock. But then like over, they are guys, they're just normal people. Gary Barlow goes to that pub all the time. Where is it? There's a pub in his village. And apparently he's just there. You can't get rid of Gary Barlow.

So you're just bored of seeing him by that point and you don't feel weird around him. It is, yeah. I think it's the celebs that like choose to do it. Yeah. Like Harry, I know Ed Sheeran's like out and about. Did you see the other day? So sweet. He like, before it got a bit colder, he took a canal boat down Regents Canal. And he was just like singing.

And like, obviously the first, he's just doing it and he's not like... He used to busk loads, didn't he? Ed Sheeran. Even when he was famous, that was like his thing. Who's your hall pass? I keep forgetting. Is it Samantha Joshua? Are you over there now?

Right now it's Jude Bellingham. You'd really shag him. Yeah, obviously. Or would you want to be with him because you want to be a wag? No, I think he is, I think in real life, he's probably someone that I would fumble my words over, yeah. Because like he's really tall. Would you?

Yeah, I think so. Oh, Judy, Judy, Judy. Also, he's like such, like he's got such, like he's really, I think he's quite tall and like he's really like big. And you know, sometimes like, don, Judy! Also, he's got such, like, he's really, I think he's quite tall and like, he's really, like, big. And you know, sometimes, like, don't get me wrong, Andrew Scott love you so much. I also saw him at Kylie, but like, you could be standing next to him and almost kind of not notice. Not in a nasty way, just because he's like a bit smaller. Yeah.

But like, Jude Belling in my honor, I really... Andrew Scott's also gay, so he wouldn't be a whole pass. No, but like, you might fumble your words if you were like a mega Andrew Scott fan. Yeah. But I don't know, I just think Jude Bellingham might like have this like weird power over me. Yeah. Power over me? How about you?

Weak at the news, Jude. What about you? I actually don't know at the moment. I haven't got any limerence. Really? No, when I'm... There must be one. I'm healed, currently.

There must be one. I'm healed, currently. I'm disappointed. Who's yours, Your Honour? Your current crush, celeb crush. There's actually no one that I find attractive. What? This is what I'm having, babe. I think I find a lot of people attractive.

Me too, it takes a minute. I find people objectively attractive, but wherever I get flutters... It's not happening. Yeah. I'm having that a lot recently. Yeah, I'll come back to you on that one. I'll think about it.

Anyway, babe, to Lisa, don't worry about it. It happens to the best of us. Also, it's really hard when you're caught off guard to actually, like... The wiggle wave is really jokes as well, babe. I think that's so funny. It's so like, hello? Also, like, what harm that he was like, I'm on the phone.

Yeah, I'm on the phone, babe. Not now. And get to Hamster Teeth if you want to find Harry's dolls. I reckon he's there a lot. Yeah. Yeah. -♪ Welcome to the Orwell business. Billy Bob Thornton, Demi Moore, and Jon Hamm star in a new Paramount Plus original series. The world has already convinced itself

that you are evil and I am evil for providing them the one thing they interact with every day. You all right? Here we go! From Taylor Sheridan, executive producer of Yellowstone. Get everybody back! Go! Go! You just put a giant bull's eye on this place. We rolled the dice one last time. LANDMAN, new series now streaming exclusively on Paramount+.

Before we continue with this week's episode of Leave a Message, exclusively on Paramount+. a story that you think girls need to hear this and get voice noting. To Lisa number two. Hey, galleys. I love the pod and I just have a story that I think you might like to hear and it's about my granddad. So background information. My granddad is extremely white and extremely racist. And I know that everyone thinks that their granddad is racist, but mine literally has a menti bee anytime he sees a person of color.

Like it's wild. I don't know what's going on there. But in his youth, granddad was a racing driver. He wasn't particularly famous, but he ran in those circles and he was good enough that he got into a very prestigious club. Like, think invite only, think a personalized newsletter, a box at Silverstone. And he was a member of this club for a good few decades, like most of his life. And a few years back, Mercedes appointed a very certain racing driver to their team.

And you girls would call him Poise Pamilton. But my granddad was not a fan of this appointment and so he sent a formal handwritten letter to Mercedes themselves expressing his pure outrage that Pouis Pamilton had been given such a premium spot in the world of racing. Anyways, Mercedes could not give less bucks about this man but they did forward it to the head honcho of his racing driving club and Grandad got kicked to the curb, like immediately, ending a good 50 years or so of membership.

And you best believe this man was livid. But the best part of this story is that Mercedes also sent a copy of this letter to Pruess Pamilton himself and he sent a very very passive aggressive bouquet of flowers to my grandfather's house with a note that read thank you for all your support all my love Pruess. Also I would like to say if Pruess Pamilton is listening, grandad does not speak for the rest of our family, you have my sincerest apologies and you have really, really good taste in flowers. Wow. That might be the best voice note.

Ever. Sorry, that's made me love Pruess Pamilton. I was going to say. Kill with kindness. MVP Pruess Pamilton. Because also it's so funny because I'm sure that wasn't the only bit of like scrutiny and abuse that he faced. When he got appointed.

Exactly. For that exact reason, for just like, blatant racism. So to actually use one that's like, been given to you on a plate, as a way to be like, fuck you, is so good. Oh, it's so sad, isn't it? Because like... That that would be like, anything to do with the conversation. As in like, I remember Bakao Sakka talking about this after the Euros final, where the three of them missed. And like, my, I just remember this like sinking feeling that they were all black boys.

And I just like, you know already the vitriol that they are going to be subjected to. And it's just like, it's just horrific that like we still live in a society where like it's all you expected. Like as soon as they all missed, everyone knew that they're going to get bombarded with racist hatred. If you can fight back in a humorous way as Pooh as Pamela has done, more kudos to you because like... Yeah, not feeling hate with hate is like pretty strong to do that because I'm sure that your like gut reaction is to just like... Like hide and cry. Well, all like be really angry and actually like that's not worth your breath, obviously.

Because that man, that's... Sorry, I love how you speak about your granddad as well. That's just like, honestly, it's problematic. What are we to say? There is just a certain generation in this country that we do like excuse. We excuse the way that they speak about people to people and I just think like acts like that, more people need to know that Pyrrhus Palmington did that. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. It's a quiet revolt and I like it a lot. Have you guys seen the feminist uproar that's happening at the moment? Wait, what's this about? That, what's her name?

Bonnie Blue. Oh, sorry, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, what? Right, I was really in a hole with it last night, because honestly, sometimes when you watch her, you think, oh, this could be a skit. It's so far removed from reality. She's playing into a misogynistic narrative

that benefits her because she's making money from it. Yeah. So she is like half playing a character, I'm sure, because she's almost embodying the thought process of potentially a lot of men. And she's also playing into things that like, I've seen a lot of the narrative around it is like, imagine if this was a man speaking about a woman. It's not.

That's the whole point. The gender actually does matter, because she's actually taken a position of almost a male stance, and she's marketing it to men. So for her, it's like she's living inside the misogynistic narrative that just genuinely benefits her, because her audience isn't women. She couldn't care less what the feminist brigade think of her because they're not paying her.

The boys are. And the boys are like, yeah, I'm not getting sex at home. Great. So I can cheat on my wife. Love it. Or yeah, I'm a young guy and I will have sex with a fit girl and she'll film it. That's hilarious. Or whatever it is. It's like the narrative around it and the like hysteria around it from women, sadly will not affect her because we're not paying her or fueling her. No, not that it will affect her, but like as a woman I take issue with it. Yeah, yeah, sure. But that's why she's taking that stance almost because she's not marketing herself to you.

She's marketing herself to men. So she's like embodying almost like a male narrative, which is just, it's really uncomfortable to see because we don't see it often. Not a lot of women do that. It's interesting though, because I feel like we went through like the whole sexual liberation era and like Rose did the slut walk

and like everybody was under claiming the word and like sex work was like being normalized. And I think rightfully so, I think everyone should be able to do whatever they want with their bodies. But it's interesting to see people's reactions to it. Because so viscerally, so strongly against it. I did think that that would be the case.

Yeah, I agree. And I think, like, not in... I mean, GK was the one that gave her the platform. So, you know, she has come into question. But I can see how before having that interview, she thought having that interview could even be a good thing. Like, within our current climate, like having a character like Borne Blue on your podcast, like, I can see how she wouldn't have preempted the backlash she got.

Because, like, everyone has a platform and you're right, like, there is a sexual liberation and women are reclaiming their, like, empowerment around sex. And she's just done it in a way that I think is through a male gaze, which I think is why it feels so uncomfortable. And we can't stop talking about it. When I got in the hole of it, I literally was looking at every interview she'd ever done. I just find the way that she talks about it so callous. Yeah.

And it doesn't sit comfortably. I really, yeah, as a woman, I take great issue with it because I think, she's saying everything, as you woman, I take great issue with it because I think you're like, she's saying everything as you say for the male gaze, but I'm like, for women, it's damaging to sit there and say, it's okay for your husband to cheat on you if you're not going down on him. And it's like, hold on a second.

I'm not just like a fucking mouthpiece for my husband. It's actually anti-sexual liberation because the whole point is that women should be able to feel empowered to have sex how and as they like it, not how and as their men like it. But you're saying if I don't prescribe to the male sexual fantasy or whatever frequency, then that's a problem for me as a woman. That's a problem. What? Yeah. I take issue. Is it archaic? Yes. Yeah. Also, I saw like a sex worker on TikTok also saying because I think lots of sex workers have then spoken out against Bonnie Blue and actually then now had hate because they're like, well, you're in the same category.

And it's like hashtag not all sex workers. And also it's like, I'm not seeking out schoolies and freshers. I'm in the clubs dancing and like getting my tips and whatever it is. That is a diff, it is different to go out with intent to take young boys virginities, there is a difference. Oh yeah. Yeah. Scary.

Isn't it? Yeah, let's do a round up. Let's do a round up. Toulouse number one, with her Paul Mess Girl encounter. Don't worry about it babe. I need to see more celebs in the wild, I love it. I think you, babe, some people sometimes comment like, oh, this person's ex was in the background.

I think we're a bit... Who? The other day, apparently... Famous person. Yeah, apparently the other day for the vlog, Stacey Solomon was behind us. Stacey Solomon's sister. Right. Okay.

But like, I wouldn't even know. I reckon if I was in Sainsbury's down the aisle, I'd like, I'm in my own world half the time. I don't think I'd notice. No, and it is easy to disguise, I think, when you don't look like bam, celeb. Yeah. Because you're on a plane. You're getting noticed, babe. You're the celeb. I hope not, because often I look like an actual dog.

This girl came up to me, babe. I know you listened to the pod, My God in Manchester on Sunday. I looked like absolute hell on earth. And she was like, I didn't want to come up, I saw you yesterday. She seen me twice. She was like, I saw you yesterday in the record shop, I didn't want to come up to you. And I was like, I'd rather you to come up then, babe, when I had a face on. Not now. The glasses fringe up here.

Sometimes they come up to me like after cycle or like after work, and I just think, I wish I could give you the version that you want, but I look like a dog. They don't want you to look a certain way, they want you to be nice. Okay, well that I can at least endeavor to do. Exactly. They probably want you to not look good. That's actually a dream.

Yeah, true. They want you to be Paul Westgallant, buyer of market on the phone. If I saw someone that I thought was really perfect looking dog, I'd be like epic. Yeah, true. That's true. She's human. That is true. Number two, I'm really glad your granddad got what he deserved.

Sorry, but it sounds like... And also, sorry, this is an interesting point because, like we were talking about this the other day, when you have someone in your family like that, it's exhausting to challenge them. Every time. But you have to. It's really important that you continue to say that

because otherwise he's just going to live in his own important that you continue to say that because otherwise he's just going to live in his own self perpetuating narrative that's racist and wrong. And as his granddaughter, I do think you have a duty to say, that's really fucking racist. I'm really glad Mercedes kicked you out like that. I'm really glad. So you deserve it. And why do you think that was wrong, granddad? Should we talk about that? Do you know what I mean? Yeah. So you deserve it. And why do you think that was wrong, granddad? Shall we talk about that? Do you know what I mean? Yeah. Yeah. Oh my God, are we going to do questions of the week?

Yeah. Brilliant. I've started doing these a little bit differently, guys. I will go back to normal. I'll mix it up. I'll keep it fresh. Keep it funky. Oh, she'll keep us on our toes, she will.

Best celebrity encounter. Oh, brilliant. Brilliant. Brilliant, she will. Best celebrity encounter. Oh, brilliant! Brilliant. What's your best celebrity encounter? You can't say one that worked. It has to be off guard. I don't know. What's yours?

I met Colin Firth. Did you? That's really nice. That's quite good. Oh, sorry, I've just got one. Bill Nighy. Where? Science guy.

No, babe, the actor. I think we're talking about the right... Bill, Bill, the guy who talks about space. Wait, what is everyone talking about? I know who you're talking about. Bill... Yeah, oh, what is his name? Bill Nighy, the science guy. Bill Nighy, is it Bill Nighy?

Is his name Bill Nighy? I don't think about Bill Nighy. Well, Bill Nighy is not a science guy, he's an actor. When, where was he? He was in, we were in, I think we were in like Victoria. And it was so funny because I was with Bill and Rube and Bill's dad was in the Bill and he was an actor. So they were in the like the Sheffield players or the Liverpool players at the same time. So Rube, who's like so shameless, was just like,

we need to go up to him, we need to go up to him and say, we like, my dad, like your dad knows him, we need to speak to him. So anyway, then they stopped and said hello to him, and then I was just stood like just behind them like. Was he nice? Yeah, amazing. I saw Hugh Grant with his kids. I meet him in Richmond.

And not in Gloucester Road. I think they must live like, I think they live on the circle line basically. Hugh Grant's such a funny one, isn't he? He wasn't best pleased about the barriers. I have to say. What barriers? The tube barriers, because you know what he's talking

and it doesn't go through. God love him. That's embarrassing, isn't it? And you know you just say, gosh, if Julia Roberts could see you now. But like they're all, I didn't say anything because he was very flustered and bothered.

No, also it is weird. I think unless you like really love them, you don't really go on. I've seen like Frank Lampard and his wife and kids in restaurants. Yeah, that's a good one. The problem is like when they're with their kids, like you just say don't even bother because they're with their, do you know what I mean? Like they're with their family and like as they should be, don't interrupt interrupt them Paul Meskell's different. God. There's so many gals. I can't believe this Sorry, this girl is not really an encounter Mary Berry is my great aunt I was the only one in the gym and then suddenly Tom Daly and all his mates came. Oh, that's a good one

That's a really good one Craig Revel Hallward. Don't know where you met him, but that's epic. Served Tom Cruise dinner. Weird. I would pay money to do, I would pay money to be a fly on a wall. And just be like, are you really a Scientologist? Yes! Jack Black asked my dad to watch his kids

whilst he took a phone call at the Natural History Museum. So I walked around with him and his kids when I was younger. Epic. Sorry, did your dad know it was Jack Black? I was at School of Rock again the other day. It's the best film ever. Of all time. Ever. Ever.

School of Rock. Once saw Jill Scott in Boston Tea Party. Boston Tea Party, what a throwback. In Bristol. One in Cheltenham, I think there's loads. And she waved at me and my friend. Oh, Jill Scott, I can imagine is an absolute hon. Gemma Collins at the horse races.

I would die. Really good. These are really good. Ainsley Harriot gave me a hug on A-level results day. Why was he at your A-level results day? Wow. Paul McCartney kissed me on the cheek on holiday. That is mental. Paul McCartney kissed me on the cheek on holiday. That is mental. Paul McCartney! That is mental.

Paul is apparently really nice. My mum's met many of the Beatles. I can believe it. Yeah, and apparently really, really nice. Why has she met the Beatles? Because she used to work at the Cavern Club. But they weren't really there then. I think they just used to come back. Russell Crowe at a KFC on my family road trip. They're everything. Russell Crowe.

They are just normal people, guys. Sorry, no, this isn't right. Final one. I saw RuPaul in a Wagamama's in Manchester. What the hell was RuPaul doing in Wagamama's? RuPaul's a man of the people, actually. Yeah. Well, I don't know. What basis do you have to... When I say man of the people, I mean like his sense of humour. Like, I know he's glam and rich and whatever,

but like he's quite funny and down with the kids and like... Yeah, although he's quite American. I just can't see him in Manchester Wagamamas. I just like can't picture it at all. Maybe they were filming RuPaul's Drag Race. That must have been really confusing for a second. I actually love RuPaul. I love...

What a legend. God, should I actually do anything to get RuPaul in the back of the car? He is so funny. I don't think we to get RuPaul in the back of the car. He is so funny. I don't think we'll get RuPaul in the back of the car. You never know. Never say never. Maybe we get him at Wagamama's and then he'll be there. Guys, thank you so much for listening.
