Can I just say? No, we have to say. Right, these podcast things, right? I've got a bald ear. We press a button. She's got the earphones on the wrong way around i'm gonna write two and eight now oh i'm gonna write two and eight we've just done 47 minutes of recording that was really good well it might be a load of shit maybe it's for the best

maybe it's nanny looking down going don't know what you're doing there but the bloody sim card what's it called sd card The SD card has run out As I went Oh this would be a really good one I can't believe that So you didn't even get the intro Like literally We've got nothing

It was just as she was Starting the intro I've got nothing It ran out It's all gone Keep it real It's an absolute shocker What are we going to do?

We're going to have to just Reconvene and do it another day No Oh no I can't believe this has happened And I'm not a dramatic person But I feel quite dramatic Maybe it's because I'm not meant to be on the pod

They've cut me out on the first Anyway you've missed out. This was a 10 minute ep. Maria's joined me tonight. We've spoken about our childhood, loads of stuff, nappies, washing, ironing, folding it up. You win. Really, really excited about this week's ep. I'm so, so, so.

No, I am. I'm so, so excited. It's like deja vu. No, I'm joking. I'm so, so excited because you haven't been around for my first two I know and this is Maria, this is my niece we call her Roro

I might go into the name at some point, not doing it tonight but I'm so pleased you're here, you alright? I'm pleased to be here I'm pleased because I've been egging you on to do this for a freaking long time yeah you have actually I'm very critical of you,

aren't I, Natalie? I am. No, in a good way because I'm just, she's like. No, she's a very honest person, aren't you? Yeah, because I,

no, with Natalie, I'm quite protective as well and I want her to be her best. And I've always said to her, I think pods are her calling. So I'm so excited for you

because I think it's going to be amazing. Apart from listening to the first term and ripping them apart them apart no i just said they're a bit boring but no in areas in areas that's okay to be fair though you've probably heard quite a lot of the stories and the concepts and maybe yeah maybe maybe you know there's a lot of people that no they're not they're not boring i'm just saying like, like, for me, it's not boring because, you know, when you know people, I could listen to her all day long.

And you do. Yeah, unfortunately, I do. And also, I bust her absolute balls. Are you around for a chat? No, but, like, when I listen to her on other podcasts as a guest, I think she's incredible. But then, you know, when you don't know if it's just because you know that person, like, to other people,

will they relate? But then saying that, in lockdown, me, her and my sister were cooking live on a Sunday. Yeah, we did live roasts. And people loved it. Yeah. Not roasters in slagging each other off. It sounds like...

What was that? And cooking. It's true. The roast roast. No, but we did, didn't we? We did some live cooking. Yeah, we did some... And people really enjoyed it.

We cooked the tomahawk steak. Yeah, we did. Oh! Yeah, we did. we did exactly the same and then we'd like showed everyone at the end we buy all the ingredients we work it all out yeah it was yeah it was good wasn't it we should do that again you know yeah we should do that that's fun we could do it all live for the pod but again it's just because you had time wasn't it on a sunday do a nice bit of cooking don't get get time now, do you? But you have championed me on this.

Yeah, no, I have. I've been buzzing for you to do it. So excited. I'm so proud that you're doing it. Room looks amazing. With your help. Yeah, ish. Yeah, yeah.

I have to give it the thumbs up. Table looks good, though. No, it is good. But can't believe I'm not on the first ep, but my little sister is. No, which is good. But I can't believe I'm not on the first ep, but my little sister is. No, which is great. Ellie is amazing, but... You were on holiday, though.

I was on holiday, yeah. Yeah, you were on holiday, and the pair of you are brilliant. Do you know what? It's so good for me, because I had a little vision of what I wanted, and I want to do this pod and talk to everybody, talk to the general public and what have you

but it's lovely to have family on and it is very very rare I think to have two nieces yeah that are like your best friends and sisters

yeah I was thinking I was thinking about this idea you know I've got a very very large family yeah and I've got nieces nephews lots of beautiful people around

but Maria and Elliot and I have grown up together and we're very close as in vicinity-wise. So we see each other a lot. We're very lucky. Families don't have that. No, and also like Natalie and I, yeah, we're three years apart.

So we've grown up like sisters really. Elia was always younger. She's nine years younger than me. Yeah, nine years younger than you, five and a half than me. There's a lot of big age gaps in this family. But obviously as you get older, that age gap closes, it so now if anything you and ellie are probably see each other more because you live well because of vicinity again but yeah it's just funny isn't it

and we're all us three are very close so oh yeah it's nice it's a nice well it's nice sometimes so you wanted to have her own podcast so you could co-host as well? Yeah, basically. Love it. Waiting for my moment. No, I reckon, yeah, yeah, yeah. Give it like 18 months, it'll be life with Nat will change to Nat and her nieces. And then Nat will be busy and we'll just have Roro. Do you want to know where Roro come from?

Oh yeah, tell me. Let me tell everyone where Roro come from. So obviously it's Maria. And Eliza, when she was little, you know, she's nearly 14 now, so when she was a real baby, she couldn't say Maria. So she used to say Roro. Roro. And it stuck.

She's Roro. I feel like the girl, Joanie's not, she's not sold on it. No, she's never had it. She won't do it. Maria. She likes Maria. And do you have a boat that you row gently down the stream? No.

We should get you a boat. We should. No. No comment. We're closing you out of your podcast already. Although Ruby does love that nursery rhyme. She loves it, doesn't she? Probably all kids do.

Anyway, Nat, I've brought you a little present for your... A present? For your pod. Yippee! Oh, that's really lovely. Ta-da! Now, I say they're a present from me, but they're actually a present from someone I know

who knows that you love Adrian Mull. For the purposes of the pod, she's handed me two mugs for tea and coffee and that and gin. Sorry, I'm only the only one who drinks gin out of a mug so no one knows oh awkward oops um no they're lovely they're adrian mole one says adrian mole with a pencil i'll put them on i'll do a picture and one says pandora i adore you for anyone who doesn't know the Sue Townsend books, Adrian Mole, the diaries of Adrian Mole, they were my childhood and they kind of,

I genuinely loved them and I read them over and over again. I've got your books. Have you? Mm-hmm. Oh, wow. I love them, babe. I'm not telling you that. You're taking a piss.

I'm joking. No, I want them back. I don't know where they are. No, you've got to find them. Do you know what? Now you've said that. Because there's writing. Someone, Julian.

Julian Cole. He pushed me down the hill and broke my arm on an obstacle journey. She loved him. No, but we'll have to. You can post them on Instagram. I will do, yeah. And you can, if people like Adrian Mull, we'll put the website on where they can buy them. They are beautiful.

Good, aren't they? They're brilliant. So good. How I like that. It's a throwback, right? I need to... Did you ever watch the programme? Did you see the Sue Townsend documentary?

No. Brilliant. Didn't watch the programme of Adrian Mull. Not interested because I love the books. But you do... Who played Adrian Mull in that? I feel like I saw something the other day And I was like, I didn't even realise it was him

And it's made me feel like I want to watch it Oh really? Because I feel like, well did you watch it? No No, I feel like I did No I'm going to read the books again Your books

No, they're the best No, I love them back though What's hilarious is Mark's got them And we've argued for ten years that they're mine No, yours is Is there writing in them? No, but you we've argued for 10 years that they're mine no yours is there writing in them no but you've solved

Do you remember the joke books? Stop it. Where were they? I'm writing this slow because I know you can't read fast. Do you remember? Yeah. They went, I don't know where they went. All the good knock-knock jokes.

Joni loves jokes. She loves a joke, yeah. Yeah, we get into bed and I read her jokes. We do jokes in bed. That's funny, isn't it? Yeah. We loved a joke, didn't we? We loved a joke.

We loved a comic. And we loved ball games. And we loved ball games. Obsessed with ball games. Do you remember the crossword one with the banana? I've still got it. Have you? Do you know?

Why have we not played that? Bananagrams. No, no. I don't really get it it's a long crossword thing and it's got a big banana but I got it out

to show Eliza the crosswords are so hard we should get it out one night but I don't know what the banana's for we used to play it with grandad

we used to play that with grandad we used to play Trivial Pursuit Scrabble Scrabble Trivial Pursuit was hard questions

I mean how we even played that. I think he liked playing it with us because he could win. His grandad loved winning. No he was so competitive. He was so competitive. And he knows all the answers because he's been around much longer. Yeah literally all his history questions. Although I reckon we did alright. We were about seven. In modern World War II we were like hey he just used to win it we used to have the cheeses go round the vault and the grandad would play Scrabble with him

he'd make words up and be like that is a word and we'd be like probably what was the word the J word no that was not long ago not long before he died about a year before he died he came up with the word JOLA

J-O-L-A And he put it across a triple It was ridiculous In the end you're just like alright grandad You just go yeah fine But he did like to win He didn't like to lose Maybe that's where we get it from

The agido. I felt so sick. It was repeating on me. It was the fat in it from the lamb. Yeah, it was. Bad. Yeah, really bad. And it made me feel like I can't eat stuff like that.

Nah. It's rich, isn't it? Nah, it's bad. So I did lamb cutlets. Joni's favourite is a lamb cutlet, my daughter. They're not the cheapest of things, can I add? Yeah, that's rich taste for it. Okay.

But I thought, no, everyone's coming, we'll do lamb cutlets. Fourteen of us, right? So all day I was thinking, do I make the pan really hot, crisp up the fat and then chuck them in the oven? There's 35, 40 lamb chops. You don't want them cold. 40 lamb chops. So we're doing this.

We're doing this. I'm thinking, I don't know what to do. I stay out of it because Elia. Nah. She's a nightmare. She's so funny. She's a nightmare. She doesn't even know she's doing it.'s so funny she's a nightmare she doesn't even know

she's doing it is she a backseat chef I'd say I'd say with everything else this is a nightmare this one's a nightmare but when it comes

to food Elliot is a nightmare yeah she's like you don't want to do that how many potatoes you got let me have a look can I have a little look at the shape of them potatoes

oh I'm not I'm not you fucking do the potatoes I can't do this but it's like oh is that Oh, I'm not. You fucking do the potatoes. I can't do this. But it's like, oh, is that it? Oh, there's not a lot there. Oh, that's not.

How many people are you feeding? Mind you, I bought. Is there enough salt on there? Salt, salt, salt. I know, but I bought six packets of French beans. They went. Ruby was smashing them down, to be fair. No, I know, but I did five packets. I had to do the sixth.

Yeah. It's mad, isn't it? I'm not mad. It's good, though, if you're getting through all the veg. Anyway the veg anyway so lamb chop i'm really worried about these lamb cutlets now i just want them all hot and all crispy because you don't you don't want to flaccid you don't want a grey bit of fat i can't eat i'm never gonna be able to eat a lamb cutlet again the word flaccid no but you know not a bit grey and a bit insipid. Insipid, that word is that word. She kept saying it. It's insipid, though, isn't it?

Anyway, I'm worrying about all these lamb chops. We've got Alfie, Ruby, Maria's two. We've got Ruby and Alfie and my Joni. And I'm worrying about all the lamb chops. I said, just get theirs. I said, chuck them in the air fryer. Don't matter. Best Christmas present ever.

Best ever. Chuck them in the air fryer. And I'm worrying about these. Chuck them in the air fryer don't matter best Christmas present ever best ever chuck them in the air fryer and I'm worrying about these chuck them in the air fryer best lamb the best lamb cutlets you've ever had yeah eight minutes

air fryer's sick man crispy they were fantastic in the air fryer weren't they so I've learnt a lesson I'm like a constant

to get through 40 but you could have done it you could have done it two at a time two at a time no you couldn't do more you could have I chucked them all in

yeah they were absolutely beautiful yeah I love I'm a big fan of the Afro no it's amazing it's changed your life

it's just brilliant for everything anyway that's an episode in itself yeah oh we can't do food tonight. I ain't going into that. Oh, but it's so good, though, isn't it?

So good. It's the best thing, isn't it? Food as a concept. Yeah, yeah. No, just food in general. Cooking it, buying it. Just eating it. Do you know what my thing is at the moment?

Salads. Good salads. No, I can't. I am the worst salad maker And it upsets my life We need to follow You do a good salad to be fair I do do a good salad

But on Instagram When I see people doing the salads I'm like oh my god There's a friend of mine at work Heather Yeah And she's following someone on Instagram Where they put them all into sort of boxes

For the week Yes The chopped salads no but when she brings it in she brings that in it's got chickpeas this that it's like a proper meal

it's not like a salad but for me though it's all about the dressing it's got to be a good dressing otherwise I'm not interested I made the duck and watermelon salad

from Mark the other night with not almonds, bloody hell. Yeah, you can do almonds. No, it was another nut. What is it? Pine nuts?

No, cashews. Cashews, yeah. Cashews, and I put honey, cayenne pepper, warm them up. It wasn't honey,

I've got the Ottolenghi book which is all salads and I'm really going to look at that I'm going to take a deep dive into it and do a lot more big proper meal salads I'm looking forward to that I think it's just

it's having all the stuff to make the of course it is the sauces yeah sauces yeah there's dressings

aren't we no but I'm really it's really bad i'll just choose to ignore it you were just saying you were getting the hay fever jab again this year yeah i'm gonna get the hay fever job she's suffer you said you know it's terrible i can't wait to get it mine started so early yeah i think mine has as well i never had it before it was only i've had i before. It was only, I've had, I caught it, caught it, I think. I, not caught it, but I got it. Yeah, developed, you get it.

It developed, thank you, about six years ago. Why aren't we, why aren't we talking about this? Yeah, you, because you said you,

you said, oh, is it because you moved into the country? No. Absolutely not. No, you've always had it now. No.

I know but me and you we're like we're like lizards change of season

we get all psoriasis around our head my skin's been terrible we get it

all here all around our head all around but the hay fever I think I used to be a bit smug, because I think, oh, Elia and Dom always suffered.

Dad, terrible. Mum, never. Weird, isn't it? And then when I was pregnant, that was it. Well, that's what I was just about to say. Hormones. I do wonder if it's to do with pregnancy and hormones and things changing.

Because I think that's when I started mine, after having liza so yeah and now you live in a field i don't think it's about the field no but ours is mine's not some people get it like peak summer mine's now mine's every time is it evie's is off the scale is it my other knee so you'll meet at some point ours is off the scale your eyes gets like yours is really bad though mine no but i was saying that it's not a... It's not a... When people say I've got hay fever, I go, wow.

Because I can... I've got an asthma pump for my doctor. Oh, really? I can't breathe at night. Oh, really? I can't breathe. It might be the 60 Benson hedges that I'm smashing down as well. No, I'm joking.

I don't smoke. So this week I put out A little Instagram post I got back from Cornwall I got back from the holiday Obviously Went for three days But I had eight loads of washing

Like what is that about? It's like a punishment For going away This is it This is as lovely as it is It's a punishment It's the pits coming home Although I prefer

Unpacking to packing. When I pack... I hate packing. I feel like when I pack, I have the worst OCD. Why do you always feel like, no matter how many lists... You've forgotten something. You've forgotten something. Isn't that the worst...

What is that? No, but I stand over the case... And look at it. And just look at it. What about what I did? What about what I did? What have you done? Got in it?

No. When I, so when it was, my brother got married in Italy, when Don got married in Italy last year. I remember packing. We had so much luggage. And then we were like,

we have to pack all the wedding day stuff. No, but also, when you're packing stuff, which is for a wedding day yeah I couldn't do that and bearing in mind

for like four people I'm not doing it I'd just come back from Marbella from a hen as well so I was a bit like she's popular guys just straight through

with the same stuff literally home, wash, pack unpack, pack again she's like Beyonce really so yeah so looking so literally I remember standing there looking at all the hand luggage being like got everything pack again. She's like Beyonce really. So yeah. So looking

so literally I remember standing there looking at all the hand luggage being like got everything bridesmaid dresses this that that that lovely lovely.

Seriously though I have to cut in I don't know how you pack all of that. Oh I couldn't do it. It's horrendous. No I'd have a panic attack. It's awful.

If I was responsible for that. If you forget something. I mean if you were to forget something at someone's wedding imagine if your brother was for that. If you forget something. I mean, if you were to forget something at someone's wedding, imagine if your brother was getting married and you forgot their tie. That would be mental. Oh, hang on.

Carry on the story. Their Dior tie that you bought. So get there lovely, having a great time, weren't we? Really nice. It was such a lovely time. They got married on the Saturday. Yep. On the Friday,

we were, I was helping Annalisa, my sister-in-law. To be, at the time. To be, at the time. To get all the stuff out

for the wedding, yeah, all the dresses, steam and this, that. Anyway, going. Also,

we're talking about, they're very extra. We are. So, it's not a normal wedding. Everything's got to be hung up laid out

for the videos you've got photos it's all laid out it's very extra not to say that's bad but it's got to be a certain way it's cool

it's cool and then obviously me who is the organiser yeah don't forget anything particular standing there and Annalise is like, so me and Elia,

for Dom to give him a gift on his wedding day, we bought him a Dior tie, beautiful. So Annalisa goes, have you got the tie, Maria? When I tell you. No, she fell over, she collapsed. I fell to the ground because as soon as she said it she knew where it was i knew where it was oh where was it i think i had on top of the wardrobe on top of the wardrobe i won't ever forget oh i never forget at least i knew where it was i don't know who actually got

the time so i literally i nearly i thought i think i had a mini breakdown my my bless my brother-in-law got my keys like a proper mission impossible break in it was no yeah no literally we had some friends that we were like

I said just break in I mean it's ridiculous when you think about it Mark just break in he said just break the window for a time why

I bought the tie I wanted to mean something I was annoyed but it all worked out it all worked out and then what was great is later on in the evening

when I saw him with the tie around his head and I went to strangle him yeah yeah that belongs back on top of the wardrobe

but yeah when you go on holiday you have so much washing don't you yeah so I got home did the washing took everything out But yeah, when you go on holiday, you have so much washing, don't you? Yeah, it's madness. So I got home, did the washing, took everything out, and I've pulled the washing out. You know, I'm doing, I'm busting my balls here.

I'm doing all the washing. I've got loads of work to do. I'm trying to clean. You know, you're trying to keep on top of everything all the time. And I pull the washing out. There's a Vaseline pot. There's a pair of earrings that I've bought Eliza. All right, they're cheap or whatever, but you've got to check.

It's not okay. Check your pockets. But do you not check them? Why am I going to check them? They're not my jeans. I remember my mum checking. But your mum's your mum. Your mum was...

But why wouldn't you just think to check them? But your mum was Mrs Hinch She missed out on Mrs Hinch I know but why wouldn't you just check You know it was going to happen No not really I haven't got time for it I want to get the washing out It's bad enough dividing it into colours

I want to chuck it in Maybe I am a bit slapdash You are slapdash So as much as I like to chuck it in. I don't. Maybe I am a bit slapdash. You are slapdash. So as much as I like to try and be organised and on top of things, I am slapdash of it. But, yeah, I put a video out on Instagram and just said, these earrings and Vaseline pots have got to stop. Like, check your pockets.

What else have you found in your pockets, guys? You've been excellent this week, guys. What's some good stuff? Listen to these. Hi, Nat. I'm in Cypress at the moment on holiday with my beautiful boys, but the best thing I ever found in our washing machine was four separate AirPods.

And do you know what? They all work. They've also been through the tumble dryer a couple of times. Wow. So that's the magic of Apple. Brilliant. I might do that with mine then. Mine are filthy.

And mine. Four AirPods. Kate, if I do that and they don't work, we're coming to you. Can it be some AirPod Pros as well? If you don't mind mind she voice messaged again oh did she let's have a listen let's see if uh they're not working anymore survived again also i found 200 pounds in cash in the washing machine one time that we did thank god for the new plastic cash sheets. Amazing.

£200. I kept it and I spent it on something for me. More for you, my husband, if I'm not checking your pockets. Oh, that's really good, actually. I suppose the one thing about other people not checking their pockets is it finds its keepers, right? Yeah, that's so good. It is true about the money, though, isn't it?

Yeah, but I remember when I went travelling to Australia and they had that money because they all surf and they're always in the water. Do you think that's why the money was that? I reckon, no. But the AirPods, do you think we could put them in? I'd love to do that. I'm scared I couldn't do that.

Mine are so dirty. Mine are so dirty. Mine are so dirty. How do you clean them? Well, you need a toothpick at some time. I'm not saying mine are overly waxy, but every now and then you can't help it. And then I'm embarrassed. I'll get them out sometimes and think,

oh, there's a bit of my earwax on there. I'm going to die. It's bad, darling. But they should have a clean. I'm surprised there's not. I reckon Amazon, you get a clean I'm surprised there's not I reckon Amazon you get a clean of course they do

you get swabs I saw this thing the other day of someone putting like some glue stuff that's bullshit yeah because in the

same video I saw one of those videos and it doesn't bring out any of the dirt all the dirt's still there yeah they use like a glue gun

I agree. It's annoying. It's really bad. Life hack. And it doesn't work. You can see it not working in the video.

I'll give you a life hack. Save yourself some time. Stop watching that. Yeah. There's some good ones though. No, I'm only saying it because I don't know how to use it. Emma said a good one earlier. What one?

The old steam in the bed sheet when it's on the bed. No, I said, can we steam a bed sheet when it's on? And you said, that's a good idea. And you said, I've seen it. I've seen it happen, yeah. As an influencer.

I'm into it. I'm going to try it. Definitely. I'll just iron it, to be fair. No, I'll try it on the bed. You ain't got a steamer. How about the iron?

Just getting the iron on it. Oh my God. You could. No, I've got a steam iron. That's effort. I don't get that. That sounds like a lot of effort. To be fair, I don got a steam iron. That's effort. I don't get that. That sounds like a lot of effort. To be fair, I don't make my bed, so I'm not interested.

What, in the morning? No, I obviously make it in the morning, but I don't change my bed. You don't change your bedding? The cleaner does it. Oh. Yeah. I can't do that. Absolutely not.

I don't get how people do it. I don't get it. I can't wait that. Absolutely not. I don't get how people do it. I don't get it. I can't wait for the cleaner for ages. See, sometimes I have a cleaner and sometimes I won't. What do you mean? Well, if I'm at home for a long time and I'm around, I won't waste the money on a cleaner because I think I'm at home, I can do it,

so then I'll change the bed. But you do it. So how do you put the duvet on? I'd love to see it. I'm good at a duvet. I'd love to see it I'm good at a duvet oh it's another video classic I've got to reenact what do you do are you an inside out uh wear it like a ghost sure sure that's what I do that's what I do it's ridiculous inside out that's what I do Get in the whole thing with it The whole thing On your own

You do it Yep That's what I would do Saying that though I haven't had a cleaner For three weeks I've done nothing This house

Is disgusting I haven't had one For two weeks I haven't done a thing She's there tomorrow I'm so excited But when it's holidays And stuff with the kids

At home There's no point There's no point Really? Is that what you think? Honestly there really isn't interesting there's no point in it the house is houses with loads of people in it loads of kids i'm at work all day i don't know what's going on this stuff so then when she comes do you need her for double the time yeah i'll do it all day fine fair play yeah get that no i get that it's a deep one yeah there's a fridge magnet i

remember that was, yeah, cleaning the house while kids are still growing is like shoveling snow while it's still snowing. Well, it's like anything. It's like doing anything while the kids are growing. You might as well just live in a cardboard box because they destroy everything. Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Knowing what I know now, would I have spent what I spent on my sofas? No, you wouldn't. No, I wouldn't. Would I have... Well, but then my sofas? No, you wouldn't. No, I wouldn't. Would I have? But then you can't live like that. You wouldn't live like that. But it is soul destroying.

But we move. Even my lounge now, I don't let people in it a lot. I don't let the kids in a lot. But the kids go in it. And they're jumping off the side of the sofa. They're jumping off. They were jumping off the back of the sofa the other day. Of course.

Madness. But that's the thing. But you've got to live also the sofa. They're jumping off. They were jumping off the back of the sofa the other day. Yes, of course. Madness. But that's the thing. But you've got to live also. Exactly. You have to live. I've got a lot more relaxation. But I do get it with a cleaner because I'm the same. I remember before when I had...

I want to walk in and look... Do you know what it is? I want to walk home... And just feel it. And feel that it's clean. I've paid for something. Smell it, feel it. And that it looks good.

Yeah. If I have a cleaner when they're at home I'm going to get home and I'm not going to know so it's really a mental thing we used to have the nanny at home on a Friday with three of them because Dom's Amelia

and I'd have the cleaner on a Thursday and on a Friday I'd be like what was the point of that whereas but the thing is I love cleaning

if I've got the time I like cleaning certain things I don't have the time I love cleaning my kitchen bathroom I've got no interest

I'm exactly the same as you why is that I love the kitchen isn't it it gives me such but the bathroom I've got no interest by the way can I've got no interest.

By the way, can I tell you this? This is funny. I should have done a video of it. I've run the shower, you know, stripped off to get in the shower. I've looked up and there's one of those measly little daddy long legs at the top of the shower. I was petrified. I thought, I'm not going to move it. I got in the shower.

I did not take my eyes off this thing. Why? Where am I going? I'm not going to Australia. Get me out of here. They live for like 24 hours. I know. And they die.

But I was petrified of one spider when I was having a shower. Yeah, you can't. You will never be able to do that. I would never be able to do that. I'm a celeb. No. I could do it. I don't think able to do I'm a celeb no I could do it I don't think I could I'll do it instead of you I'd be the first

person to have died in a jungle she'd be like Natalie Cassidy's dead something bit her she exploded she walked into camp and then the hay fever kicked in she couldn't breathe I'd be dead

or like a snake would strangle you She walked into camp and then the hay fever kicked in. She couldn't breathe. No, I'd be dead, dead. Or like... Before she was playing. Or like a snake would strangle you to death. I'm dyspraxic anyway. I can't climb, I can't balance. I can't do any of it. Or she'd fall off a something and the rope would... Something would happen, yeah.

She'd trip over walking into camp. But you know what would be funny? I'll tell you what would be funny. Elia and Maria in the hotel, the Versace the hotel the versace hotel getting the news oh your auntie's dead hey auntie gone dead drown what do we have to go now have we got a few more days um we're traumatized can we get another massage?

I've got no interest in queuing up outside a tiny little shop for an hour where there's a bowling ball and a couple of sweatshirts so the bowling ball's like their icon oh is it so basically so obviously the shop is small it's minuscule yeah that's on purpose to create the...
