Hello and welcome to Life with Nat. I hope you're all good. Today is very exciting because
I am joined by Amy Hart. Hello darling.
Hello. Thank you so much for having me on.
You know, I'm a big fan of the pod
and now I feel like I've stepped inside my phone.
It's so lovely.
So you messaged me, I think, on Instagram
to say you were a fan of the pod.
Yes.
And I thought that was so kind of you
because obviously it was early days
and then we bumped into each other on Oxford Street, didn't we?
Yes, on the road. I was like, oh my God, it's you days. And then we bumped into each other on Oxford Street, didn't we? Yeah, on the road.
I was like, oh my God, it's you.
You are real.
And then I thought, well, I've got to have you on just to have a nice chat.
Yeah.
How are you?
I'm good, thank you.
You have been so busy.
So busy.
Planning two weddings, two hen do's.
And to be fair, I didn't plan one of the hendoos like the
abroad one I didn't plan the local one I planned myself yeah did the love island podcast for eight
weeks which everyone's like oh it's so easy in the evening but because I drive I like drive for
three hours a day which you know with a toddler it's such a hardship to get into my car and listen
to podcasts on my own for three hours a day everyone's like oh that
drive must be so hard I'm like yeah yeah it's really really hard really arduous yeah but yeah
I've been doing all of that and just other work with it as well but yeah I'm here we're out in
Spain so Sam and Stanley have just gone off to the shops in the park so that I can record
it's so kind of you to do it whilst you're on holiday honestly thank you but it's fun isn't it it's not work I feel like we're so lucky that so much of what we do it's like oh it's so kind of you to do it whilst you're on holiday honestly thank you but it's fun isn't
it it's not work i feel like we're so lucky that so much of what we do it's like oh it's work
but it's not really work is it it's not having a chat on a Sunday morning catch up yeah it's so
true it's so true i don't know where to start with you at all because you've done so many different
things and i think we'll go right back and we won't go into it forever. But obviously you were in series, series 5, 2019, wasn't it?
Of Love Island.
Some would say the best series.
Well, I have to say when I looked at it, I'm not a Love Island watcher,
which you're going to kill me for, but I have to be honest person, as you know.
But when I looked at the list, a lot of the names you do recognize from that series right
yeah I mean I think there are so many amazing series but I think yeah like everyone says to
me like oh I loved your series so much like it's like always jokingly whenever anyone says that I
go oh some some say the best series yeah it was it was a magical time it was when I watched it now
I feel really old because it makes me feel so young thinking about
when I was on it even though I was 26 which is quite old for a love islander right okay yeah I
know ridiculous um and yes I was I was 26 when I was on it which I'm so glad because I feel like
if I'd gone on when I was 19 I would have just ruined my life got cancelled and just I don't
know what I would have done afterwards yeah so you feel like you had a little bit more life experience and you could sort of yeah not play the game but
you were aware of what it could bring you yeah well not I knew that obviously what happens
afterwards because you have done bloody well thank you I know what happened afterwards my original
plan was get some more Instagram followers go back flying and then just
be able to make really good content while i was away on trips and then obviously it hasn't really
worked out like that it's worked out better but yeah i was i literally was going on there to find
a boyfriend and people like nobody goes on there for love i literally was saying to people people
do you have a boyfriend and i'd be like no but i've just applied for love island so hopefully
at some point so you really honestly that's why you went on to find love?
Yeah, because they used to tell me
I'm from a celebrity,
but I'm a bit of a weirdo.
Like I'm not a normal person.
Aren't we all?
Exactly, exactly.
So I felt like I would meet my match in the villa
because I felt like I've exhausted
all options in Worthing.
Like I've even tried a bit of London
and that's where I've literally flown
all over the world.
Still can't find a boyfriend. The only logical explanation for this is that i need to go in the love island villa but for me it was such a special time because i felt like
because of again everyone used to make me feel quite weird i grew up with all the same people
but again i was like the weird one what do you you fit? What do you mean the weird one? Talk to me about that. Let's go into that a bit.
Just different to everybody else.
I don't know.
I think, let's unpack this.
Yeah.
Yeah.
So before I had all my therapy, I was like desperate to be liked all the time and desperate
to sort of, I don't know, be noticed.
But I was always wearing a weird outfit.
Always, always very extra. I'm like just a bit like hyper, always, I don't know,
like singing and doing weird stuff.
Like on the plane, it was literally like my stage.
I used to go around, go into people, literally walk into the galley
and be like, what's your favourite Nolan song?
And all the boys would be like, I'm in the mood for dancing.
I'm like, wrong, chemistry, goodbye.
I'd be like, what's your favourite Bucks Fizz fizz song again making your mind up no it's London town obviously
I love the fact that you're not talking about uh Girls Aloud and Steps you're quite an old soul
I really am um I when we went to Taylor Swift the other week I was like I loved it so much
I was so lucky to go but I was oh I'm glad that like Jane Macdonald gigs aren't like fancy dress and stuff I'm glad like when I went to see Rod Stewart and
Bette Midler I didn't have to wear a cowboy hat this was brilliant like when everyone's queuing
for Oasis tickets I'm like there's still a few Jane Macdonald tickets left for Brighton so I'm
actually all right so I'm okay I love that yeah this is the thing I'm an old soul I think that
that's sort of my kookiness as well.
Yeah, so I felt like when I went into the villa,
I had like sort of a panic the week before
when I was in lockdown before you go in,
thinking nobody's going to fancy me.
I'm going to be like on the periphery
because nobody's going to want to be my friend.
Nobody's going to want to go out with me.
Like I'm probably going to be there for a week.
It's going to be so embarrassing.
All my people that have been horrible to me at home are gonna be right and because a lot of people when I said I'd applied for Love Island by this point I knew I'd got it
so I had to tell people I hadn't got it because I didn't realize you weren't allowed to tell people
when you applied so I've been telling everyone I enlisted all of the crew on my Maldives trip to
help me film my video I literally was asking people
all the time like what do you think I should answer this question then before my final uh
final like audition they were like and obviously you can't tell anyone so I was like oh so I had
to start posting like sad quotes on Facebook yeah to try and throw people off the set to be like
like sometimes things don't work out,
but it's all right because a new journey is coming.
And all these people are like, you okay, hun?
I'm like, I'll DM you.
I didn't get Love Island.
And everyone was like, oh, it's all right.
But all my haters were like, see, I told you she wasn't pretty enough.
I told you, yeah, I knew she wouldn't get it.
Oh, God, that's horrible.
So I was like, they're all going to be right.
So then to go into Love Island and to sort of be the,
obviously me and Curtis coupled up on day two.
And although it didn't work out in the end,
like for the vast majority of the time I was in there,
I was in a strong couple.
And we were sort of the nucleus of the fam.
And we were friends with everyone.
And yeah, it was just amazing.
I sort of, in my big leaving speech
that wasn't that traumatic
where I didn't have the music over it,
I sort of said, you know,
like you guys have changed my life.
I'd never thought I'd have any friends in here.
I never thought I'd meet anyone.
So the fact that I literally have done that
and you've made me feel so normal
and so likable was, yeah.
So it really really really changed
you know your life really yeah but mentally as well let's forget about kind of the celebrity
status and the sort of work that's come after it we'll talk about that in a minute but it really
kind of gave you a boost mentally and you realized that you were a nice person and yeah yeah because
it sounds it's really horrible way me I know you're talking about it really lightly and i think we're very alike yeah i think you've got quite a thick skin and i think because
you're so normal you talk about things which are actually quite distressing in a very normal manner
but to think that you're not liked and to think that you're not you know people don't find you
pretty and all of those things it it's really hard yeah you know I had all the aftercare
from Love Island and so I had an amazing therapist they try and put you with a therapist that's close
to you but I was like no I would quite like to drive two hours or four hours a week to go to
the therapist that I had in Love Island please they were like I mean if you want to do it I was
like yes please because I was like she knows my story and she knows me and she was there every day with me in
the villa so i need her we did cbt which i'm the nosiest person ever so to get nosy about yourself
and your own brain it's the best thing ever so i found out that my four core beliefs which i've
lived my life on are i'm ugly i'm not good enough i'm a failure and i'm unlikable right so then
we like unpicked it and one of the things
she did was with the unlikable she's like okay how likable do you think you are and i was like
you know 25 and she was like okay cool so now pick someone that you think is very likable and
pick someone you think is very unlikable i had to go through and list their qualities and she was
like so the likable one it was like okay so do you think you're funny i was like yeah do you think
you're nice yeah do you think you're kind yeah do you think you're loyal yeah so we went
through them all and she was like okay so where would you put yourself now and I was like oh okay
like 75% she's like okay then we went through the like the unlikable quality she's like do you do
that I was like no no no no and there was two that I was a bit like oh yeah I think I did do that
and she's like okay so would you put those two little things as 25 percent and I was like no
probably not oh that's really interesting oh my god I'm likeable I'm right to have friends like
oh that is so interesting really interesting so you walked out of Love Island though didn't you
I did so again people were like oh I can't believe she gave it up and when I I told everyone I was leaving, one of the boys came over, grabbed me.
I was like, what are you doing?
What are you doing?
Like, just stay until you get voted out.
You were in there for 37 days.
Is that right?
Yes.
Yes.
So it's like five and a half weeks.
That must have taken so much strength to walk out.
It was actually the simplest thing. so I cried for a week like literally
all day every day crying and again I was in a villa with 17 people and I was sat on my own one
day because I didn't know where I could sit and like rationally now I'm like well I could have
gone and sat with them I could have sat with them I could have gone and sat with them but at the time
I just want to sit on my own. And I just started crying.
And they were like, Amy, to the beach, please.
I went in, they were like, you're right.
And I was like, I just feel so lonely.
I said, I'm in a villa with 17 people.
I don't know where to put myself.
Like, these are all my really close friends.
And I don't know where to sit.
So just little things like that.
I was in with the therapist.
And I was sort of saying about, you know,
I don't know how I'm going to cope when Curtis meets someone else.
And she said, well, you might meet someone else.
And I said, no, there's only three weeks to go now.
I'm not going to meet anyone.
And as it came out of my mouth, I went, oh, I'm not going to be in a mental place to meet anyone now.
So I should probably just go home.
And you have to talk to a couple of people because once you've gone you've gone
and they don't want it to be like a knee jerk
reaction but I think with a lot of
people I think if they say they want to leave they're like go to
bed like see how you feel in the morning but I
think it'd been a week
of me like in turmoil and I think
they were a bit like no I think
it's the right decision for you but
I said can I do it my way like I want
to talk I don't just want to be like I'm going I wanted to talk to everyone and sort of explain it
and it's so funny because I've said this before people who've heard this would be like boring
but um when someone gets dumped on the island everyone helps them pack so like they're trying
to say their goodbyes you're like I'll go into the bathroom like I'll go into this I'll put
yourself in the case and stuff everyone Everyone was so furious at me.
And I can picture it now in my head, clear as day.
I was packing my case and everyone was just stood and sat staring at me.
And nobody helped me.
At one point, Anna was trying to take stuff out of my case.
And Curtis went, guys, look, she wants to go.
And the girls were like, you can shut up.
Like, this is your fault that she's going.
I was like, guys, calm down, please.
I just need to pack my stuff.
And yet everyone just sat there staring at me, like unable to help.
Because they were like, I don't want you to go.
Well, there you go.
So from you sitting, not knowing who to sit with, again,
you didn't know your worth.
Because everybody was absolutely shocked and upset that you were going to head out.
Yeah.
And the execs come to see you the day after you've gone.
And they came to visit me and they were like, you ruined last night.
And I was like, I left in the afternoon.
They're like, yeah.
So the two New Islanders came in that night.
And they always say that when they walked in, they were like, hi, everyone.
Everyone was like, hi.
And when they did the beach huts, were like so what happened tonight and they were like
well it was a really sad night because obviously amy's over there no no amy left this afternoon
like what happens tonight and they were like well two new islanders came in but you know it was just
still really sad because amy's left and it's all right stop talking about amy amy's gone we've got
to move on with the show like literally that's the thing is once you've
gone you can't talk about like people that have gone before oh no that show business but I thought
I'd have regret as I was packing I did think oh god am I going to regret this and I thought I'm
going to get down to the end of the driveway take my mic off and be like what have I done
didn't happen then I was really scared to go to sleep that night because I thought I'm going to
wake up tomorrow and be like what have I done best night's sleep I've had in like three months that's really good and I wake up and I just
felt so calm and did you get just moving on a little bit so did you when you came out because
obviously there's so so much talk of kind of the hate that comes yeah with shows like Love Island
not just Love Island did you get a lot of hatred or did you come out and
were you really surprised at kind of the love that you were receiving when i came because love island
is so like time sensitive so when i came out all the messages were amazing because my episode had
gone out the night before where i'd left everyone was like oh my god you're amazing then i went home
and spoke to my best friend who had run my Instagram and it was all gonna be so much fun she's run my Instagram we
worked out where all my clothes were from and stuff and then it was like no I was at work trying
to do my job trying to fend off calls from the press but also trying to deal with death threats
as well at the same time trying to deal with my dad who is very likes to be very involved but also would get very upset
at that so Hannah was trying to like sort of detract him from that and she didn't have a
night off in the whole like six weeks she like that she would watch the episode on her laptop
she'd have her phone with Instagram she'd have her iPad with Twitter trying to do all of it at once
and then once that all died down then yeah the hate does
come after that I feel like now five years on it's like they say that you never kick a dead dog so
when big things happen I have managed to block most people that are horrible so now I have a
really lovely community on Instagram I never ever searched my own name on Twitter because that's
just why we should do that.
Why would you do that?
It's literally like sticking pins in your arms.
Yeah.
So I, not for me.
So I managed to get, but then like the Love Island podcast comes along
and people who aren't like part of my community remember me.
And there was a thing and they were being so lovely doing it
but when I got announced one of the hosts they put the icon herself Amy and when I read it I did
think this is opening myself up to a lot of ag but I'm a people pleaser I don't like to I don't
like to say anything so I was like um I was like I won't I was like yeah that's lovely yeah post that and then all the comments icon didn't she walk out because she couldn't hack it like I don't
really think Amy is an icon of Love Island um and yeah just when you open stuff up to like sort of
going bigger isn't it then more stuff comes but I feel like I can deal with it better now I'm like
okay cool you don't like me because Because I remember there was a group of people
that were particularly nasty to me
for about a year after I left Love Island.
What sort of group?
A group online you're talking about?
Yeah, sort of like an online group of friends
that had made friends online and they didn't like me
and they just would, yeah,
be really awful about everything that I did.
And it was on Twitter mainly,
but they used to sometimes
pop onto my Instagram inbox as well and I remember my best friend saying to me in the end Amy because
I was saying going oh they've said this maybe I should do this instead and she said Amy you could
donate 10 grand to charity and they'd say why didn't you do 20 anything anything you ever do
you're never gonna please the haters it haters not gonna be enough so I was
like oh yeah you're right actually I'm fine I'm all right now so yes I I feel like I deal with
it better now I think sometimes if people say I'm a bad mum that's that's hard but that is hard and
how can they say that because your little Stanley is over one now isn't he birthday 18 months yeah 18 months bless him and you so when did you
meet sam how did you meet sam who you're with now i met sam three years ago yeah it's all been quite
quick um three years ago and um basically i was in london and had a few wines and i was like i'm
never gonna meet anyone sorry I'm never going
to meet anyone unless I put myself out there so I went on to Bumble downloaded it did my profile
put that I was an air hostess so what else do you put like occupation so I said that I was an air
hostess from Worthing and did a bit of swiping did a bit of chatting that night closed the app never to return on
again right sam the next day was in london because he lives like he uh grew up in Hertfordshire and
Potter's Bar oh not far from me so so yeah he's a Potter's Bar boy i'm worthing so he was in london
and his radius was set quite small and i came up and he was like i really recognize her maybe i've
met her on a flight so So he swiped yes.
And then I never swiped back.
So he went onto Instagram and typed in Amy and scrolled through them all
and then found my profile.
Oh, this is good work.
That's how I know her.
So he was like, you know what?
I thought I'd take a chance.
So he sent me a message on Instagram just saying, hi, Amy.
I'm patiently waiting over on Bumble. I'd like to get rid of the app at some point if you come over and speak to me on there
that'd be like great so I looked at it and normally I would have ignored it but I clicked
his profile he had a he had a private profile and I was like what he has a private profile
on Instagram that's so weird so I googled him and he used to be a model and so it's all
pictures of him in his like little white pants with this like eight pack right so I was like oh
do you know what I'll give it a go I'll give him a message it's worth it isn't it just just one
message anyway turns out he's like the nicest man ever and he was very I was very used to people
being very non-committal and people ghosting you and stuff.
And some of the things that made me be like, oh, this guy seems very different is we messaged for a little while.
Then we moved on to WhatsApp message.
And he said straight away, we should probably do a call this week to check that we can actually talk on the phone rather than just texting.
Oh, very good.
And when we phoned each other he was like yeah we should
probably arrange a date for quite soon because sometimes these things can just fizzle out
and I was like what look this is amazing and then when I asked him how long he'd been single for
he said um I think it's about oh and I was thinking oh here we go he's got so many irons
in the fire and he went no it's about I think he said six or seven weeks um when I messaged this girl to tell her that she was a really lovely girl
um but I didn't see anything romantic but I'd always be here for her if she needed a friend
or anything and I was like again sorry he was like yeah if you don't want to see any someone
anymore you should like definitely tell them I was like who are you and then we planned our first day and that girl was happened
to be because she was a friend of a friend of his yeah they were all going out the same night in the
same restaurant he was like look I don't want to like rub her nose in it because obviously I told
her that she wasn't on for me so I don't want to rub a first date in her nose so can we go somewhere
different I'll take you there another day oh so he's a real real gentleman yes i was like wow okay see there are gents around there are you know you can find
someone who's lovely with the fizz loyalty program you get rewarded just for having a mobile plan
you know for texting and stuff and if you're not getting
rewards like extra data and dollars off with your mobile plan you're not with fizz switch today
conditions apply details at fizz.ca you met him you obviously clicked and that was that
really yeah i knew after two dates i was gonna marry him and all my friends were like you are
nuts like you've met him twice.
And I was like, no, I tell you now.
So next week when I get married to him, I'll be like, ha ha.
I was right, you were wrong.
That is so amazing.
Is it next week?
Your big day?
Next week.
Yeah.
Oh my, what day?
Saturday.
Next Saturday in Spain.
You're very calm.
Well, I have a wedding planner and I wouldn't be able to do it without her.
Because yeah, she's done. I don't really feel calm well I have I have a wedding planner and I wouldn't be able to do it without her because yeah she's done I don't really feel like I have done I we've picked a lot of stuff but it's her that so for example our whole day is outside and we're in Spain so hopefully it
won't rain it rained yesterday but it was forecast to rain so that was fine and next week it's not
forecast to rain but we have to have a plan b So she's doing like the phoning around the marquee companies
and getting the measurements and getting the logistics and stuff.
Whereas I get to say, yes, we would like to pay a thousand euros.
In case we need it.
But the chance of using a marquee that is non-refundable.
Yeah, no.
In case we need it.
It's the pits.
And then it's like, that's a lot of money to spend.
I know, but if you haven't got it, there's a show.
So we can't chance that.
No.
So, yeah.
I always think about getting married to Mark, obviously.
We've been engaged for eight years.
And I just think the reason we haven't done it is genuinely because of that, the planning.
And I know you can get a planner, but it just scares the life out of me and i don't even really want a huge wedding amy i just
want all my favorite people and i i don't know why i've not done it i need to get on with it yeah
you do it's amazing i mean there's stuff like coaches i decided that i wanted to like basically
like next saturday i want anyone to like basically like next Saturday I
want anyone to have to pay for anything right they've flown out to Spain so I was like right
I'll organize coaches I literally nearly cried doing these coaches and I'm quite an organized
person I like I like organizing but coming up with the spreadsheets for the coaches because
basically we made everyone because I'm a bit of a control enthusiast you couldn't RSVP to
the wedding until you booked your flight um so you had to send a screenshot of your flight booking
so I was not I'm not going down the road I love like 200 people saying yes and then it gets to
May and everyone goes oh I've left it too late to pick my flights now they're really expensive
so I said you had to give me your flight confirmation so lots of people just book
their flights but we'll do accommodation later so I was having to chase like 138 people for
accommodation and then trying to work out where their closest pickup yeah no it's not how we're
going to get them home and yeah honestly it's very very I'm sure you're going to have the best
weekend but it's not for me it's too big yeah we've got 138 people that's lovely coming out to spain
so we've got we're here on our own at the moment and then lots of people everyone's descending on
wednesday oh that's lovely actually because you've got a few days can you relax a little
i mean with an 18 month old not so much but we've actually we've got a babysitter for the whole
weekend who i've met her a couple of barbecues before she's got mutual friends out in spain and um she works in a nursery here and she comes very
highly recommended because obviously a lot of the people we know out here don't have family out here
to do their child care so she comes very highly recommended she's basically coming around for two
hours a day to look after stanley while we're here so that he gets to know her oh that's really good
we've done it from like four till six that we can get ready to go out in the evening to look after Stanley while we're here so that he gets to know her. Oh, that's really good.
We've done it from like four till six that we can get ready to go out in the evening.
But then he also naps in the daytime.
So we're like straight out on the sunbeds in the garden with the baby monitor.
Yeah.
When he's like sitting on the playlist.
But yeah, so we can have a bit of relax.
And we used to, last year when we were here, when Stanley was six months old,
because mum and dad have got a place here.
This is mum and dad's apartment that they're in.
Oh, that's good. We come out here a lot. So we brought him here when he was eight months old because mum and dad have got a place here this is mum dad's apartment right oh that's good we come out here a lot so he brought him here when he's eight weeks old so easy but when he's six months still easy he could sit up by then so he's happy to sit
and play with his toys you know what I did Amy I remember I went to Turkey with a dear friend of
mine another Amy actually and we went to Turkey and Eliza was nine months old yeah and she just sat in the travel cot
underneath an umbrella playing with toys all day it was the easiest holiday with a baby amazing
yeah last year was amazing we used to go out for dinner sani would go to bed at midnight wake up at
10 a.m lovely he'd just sit in his high chair play with his like little you know the wooden carrot
toy it's got all the holes play with that amazing this year last night we managed an hour and 15 minutes out for dinner um because
he was done so yes we're going to come back quite early and watching a lot of emily in paris can you
not push the pram back and him sleep in the pram when you're out no no so at home he goes to bed
at home i've made a run for my own back i've realized now i was like yeah well easy half eight to half eight he sleeps at home because i'm not putting him to bed at seven because i don't
want to get up at seven i had to get up at half past eight but obviously half eight here is half
nine no half eight at home is half nine here right okay so he's yeah no not ready and he's like
yesterday he naps till half four he's half one till half four. Oh. So. Forget it. Yeah.
No, he just wants, what he wants is my dad and my granddad let him drink water out of glasses.
Oh, okay.
Like actual glasses.
Yeah.
So then when we're in the restaurant, all he wants is glasses of water or a glass bottle,
but he wants to hold it and doesn't understand.
And he's so strong.
Literally trying to get this bottle off him so he's like so yeah and well like most restaurants out here I think would be fine
but last night we decided in our wisdom there's a new restaurant that's opened and it's like really
posh and we decided to send him there so everyone else has gone there and left their children at
home and you've got and we're there with Stanley and i i again making up my own back i'm so like determined not determined i just
i am trying to do 1990s parenting so i've got sticker books i've got coloring
keep him occupied for a bit and then we gave him some food and again he wants to feed himself
but then everything comes in like a ceramic dish
and he picks it up and I'm like oh please don't throw that anywhere so yeah so it's very different
holiday to last year but I'm sure it'll be a very different holiday next year as well and it will be
it really will be all of the stages when I look back are so different and you miss them yeah and
when they're when they're two and a half next year you'll find he probably will have a kip in the pram.
Yeah.
Because I used to do that.
I used to not worry about any bedtime.
You're on holiday.
What does it matter about what time they're going to bed?
And I'd go out quite late for dinner.
That was my trick.
So we wouldn't go out till half eight, nine o'clock.
Yeah.
And then they'd have a little something to eat, but then be tired.
Pram right back. Yeah. And you'd have the evening. And they to eat but then be tired pram right back yeah and
you'd have in the pram they'd just be yeah i mean we we go on cruises we we're cruisers we love it
i've never been on a cruise oh my god you've got to it's we love it so much the first time we went
we were like what is this don't you understand by day three we were like are we ever going to
go on a normal holiday again i don't know know. I get really worried, right, about cruises.
Yeah.
I get worried that you are sort of stuck on the boat.
And if there were a family that were a little bit of a fan, shall we say,
would they then follow you around the boat and would you be stuck?
But I suppose it's no different really to a hotel.
It's no different to a hotel.
There's 6,000 people, so you don't often see the same people I mean people come up to me I mean yeah
I think you actually so we work with P&O Cruises who we adore and I feel like everyone on there
watches EastEnders so I do feel like actually I feel like not everyone watches Love Island
but I do feel like yeah um but I we love everyone watches Love Island, but I do feel like, yeah.
But I, we love it so much.
But last year when Sonny was eight months old, we were like,
we don't use the night nursery.
We take, he comes with us.
He watches the shows.
He loves the shows.
He comes to all the restaurants.
He loves going out for dinner.
This year we're using the night nursery.
This year, this is well, because we're going on like a Northern European. We're going on a christmas cruise this year christmas market stop it i am so excited because i love christmas
literally the the whole ship is decked out there's like panto there's christmas shows
there's christmas music all the time you still put four different christmas markets like hamburg
bruges rotterdam and lahav i mean i cannot wait but
obviously no time difference so i can just keep him on his same schedule get him to sleep in the
pram into the night nursery that sounds so good when are you doing that is that november december
when is it december 7th to 14th december they do they do one a year of these christmas cruises
i might have to look at that for next year yes last year i was on because i did the piano cruises. I might have to look at that for next year. Yes. Last year I was on,
because I did the P&O Cruises podcast.
Yes, I saw that.
And you spoke to some amazing people, Amy.
Goodness me.
Gary Barlow, Nicole Scherzinger.
I'm looking at it going,
oh my God, she's a podcast queen.
I was quite nervous because you were like,
I love your podcast.
And I was like, really?
Have you seen who you interviewed?
Nicole Scherzinger,
I was so terrified,
like so terrified.
Really?
And I literally had my cue card and I was shaking.
And I was like, so cool.
We can start with a quick turnaround, but as you love musicals as much as me.
And she was like, you love musical theatre?
And I was like, yeah.
And then from then on, we were like absolute besties.
And we had afternoon tea afterwards and she was being introduced to all these people
and she'd be like, yeah, hi, nice to meet you.
And then she'd turn back to me and Sam and be like,
so how long have you known each other?
How's wedding planning?
Tell me about your engagement.
So nice to hear, isn't it?
That a real star is just normal.
You just want people to be normal.
Yeah, we went to the launch party of her show
on board one of the ships.
And this was like probably three months later.
And we got put
in the VIP area because someone said Nicole is comfortable around Amy and I was like this is
going to be really embarrassing because she's going to be like oh so what competition have you
won to be in here yeah and yeah did you was it an Instagram competition or do you know someone
and I walked in and I went oh Nicole I really enjoyed the show
and I know I saw you I was trying to be all dramatic and you were there with your hair and
your smile and I was like wow wow so how's Stanley oh that's so lovely the best the absolute best
the two I was most worried about was Nicole and Gary Barlow yeah and they were the two like
everyone was amazing I had such a good time with literally everyone but they were the two that I like just
most scared of but clicked with Gary Barlow throughout my career I've always sort of bumped
in to take that yeah do you know how you just do so at Top of the Pops or you'd see them on
Live and Kicking or I'd be on a guest on Live and Kicking years ago.
And whenever I've seen them throughout their whole career,
they have all been exactly the same.
Just normal, never changed.
Just lovely.
Yeah.
He was so lovely, but he didn't want to come to Legends with me,
which was very sad.
Hello, darling.
Oh, good morning.
Oh. That's very nice. That's lovely. Oh, good morning. Oh.
That's very nice.
That's lovely.
My teenager getting up at what time?
20 to 12.
I think that's acceptable for a Sunday.
Go on, go and get your pencils.
Look how good it is.
Go and get your pencils.
Yeah, I just...
But yeah, he wouldn't come to Legends with me
which is a bar in La Cala
where they have a take that tribute band. I was like, the man that plays you, he wouldn't come to Legends with me, which is a bar in La Cala, but they have a Take That tribute band.
I was like, the man that plays you,
he also plays Michael Bublé and one of the four seasons.
You've got to come and see him.
But he wasn't up for it, sadly.
Fair enough, though.
But yeah, so we actually thought,
I know we don't talk about it on this podcast,
but I just want to say,
because you said about bumping into people,
we film Love Island after sun.
Yes, I know.
At Elm Street.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, of course.
And so whenever I walk down the corridors there's one corridor that's got some dressing rooms in it
and i'm always like is anyone here on a sunday recording an extra scene gonna meet anyone hello
don't really work sundays no i know so annoyed so annoying um but it's so funny because i watch
so i'll do 30 seconds and I'll sort of
promise no I watch all the behind behind the square on Instagram I love it I love it so much
like if one if I stop my car like in my driveway and I open my phone it's the first thing up and
it's seven minutes long I will still sit in my car for seven minutes and watch it like I love it so
much and the first day I got dropped off in my cab I didn't know where I was supposed to go
so we just kept driving and kept driving kept driving and uh he was like I was like I think
we're in the wrong place because these are the port-a-cabins these are the outside dressing rooms
this is where Jackie Joshua is this is where Taker Empton lives Harriet Thorpe's up there yeah
I literally I feel like I'm in the telly. This is amazing.
Right, I'll stop now.
But yeah, so, but I never buttoned into anyone, sadly.
Oh no, you won't do on a Sunday.
No.
Unless something really, really special is going down.
Yeah.
Oh Christ alive.
What would you like?
Do you think I'll be able to stay here while Daddy goes shopping?
No, absolutely not.
Unless you're downstairs, darling.
I'll be downstairs.
Okay.
I'm working.
I'm going to get a lock on the door.
I've decided I'm going to have to because no one believes me.
You know when you say I'm working and they just get in, coming in and out.
It's like, babe, I'm actually doing something.
I'm not making it up.
But it's hard, isn't it?
Because you're at home and they just come in.
Yes.
Brilliant.
I'm still working, bub.
It's a lovely ring she's
just made a ring it's fine it's like lovely um i have to i sort of i know with my child care i know
my players because obviously because like your kids can obviously go and sit down and watch telly
yes obviously stanley's 18 months he can't so i sort of know my players because my obviously
same with you like your job is so like random hours yeah it's not like like sort of
concrete child care is quite hard so I'm like okay so I need someone on a Friday morning who
do I know that's available on a Friday morning and like I sort of have like we do it all between us
there was one day where I had to go to Liverpool for work and uh my child care fell through so
Sam like I'm not gonna be able to go and um he was like no come on we can do this and my mum and dad were in spain and i put on the
group chat like i'm not gonna be able to go to liverpool now because um my child has fallen
through my dad was like don't worry we'll sort this together and i was like dad you're literally
in spain like how are you gonna help me um but my auntie works for my mum and dad so she got given
the last two hours of the day off
to come around and have Stanley for two hours then someone else in two hours so I could go
that is so lovely to have that support so I lost my mum at a very young age um Mark's mum Jackie
she helps when she can but she lives in Kent uh yeah and she's not you know she's busy as well and then all my family are
amazing but they're all so busy with their own kids their own lives their own work so i we just
have to bite the bullet and we just have to have child care that i pay for and you know what if
i've got a week off i still have to pay her that's just the way it is i just have to have that in
place and yeah you know my it's hard
my mum sort of said to me about in future like there might come a time where you do have to
like get a nanny or something because my brother's having kids now as well so my mum has Stanley a
couple days a week but then from next year she's having Poppy as well absolutely so she doesn't
want to have them on the same day but she also doesn't want to do three days a week so um so yeah and also I keep saying I want four children and mum's like it's all very
well for you to say because you go out to work why don't we let's just stop there a minute why
would you want four of them um I don't know I just like a big busy hang I think because our house
not so much anymore because a lot of people said to my mom and dad like that's quite dangerous you know but my mom and dad would always have
their back door unlocked yes if someone knocks on the front door everyone's like that who is it
yeah like because it would be a stranger it wouldn't be someone who knows yeah yeah yeah
whereas like all my friends all my brother's friends all my dad's friends at work people know to just walk into the kitchen and
shout like hi um and like my my brother when he was younger my mom and dad would be sat in the
lounge watching telly and one of my brother's friends would like pop their head around the
door like hi sam's be back in an hour is it where i just go up and chill upstairs and they're like
yeah that's fine i love that i love an open house and i i want my house to be like that i agree with
you but you can do that just with multiple friends.
I don't think I could have more than two.
I think it's such hard work.
I love them so much.
But I think for me personally, if I had another one, and it has been spoken, me and Mark.
Yeah.
So I babysat my Amelia, so my great niece, Dominic, my nephew's daughter.
And I had her overnight.
And she's two.
She'll be three in a couple of weeks.
But suddenly the whole dynamic changed at home.
And Joanie became this kind of angel and was all grown up because she was looking after Amelia.
And I said to her, look, this is amazing.
Maybe we should have another one.
Look at this.
The house is amazing. and then I thought what
are you talking about she's here for 24 hours not even that 20 hours it will not be like this
she's already two and a half she's not a tiny baby no stop being an idiot but there's a part
of me that always thinks oh would it be really nice but I think that I would I think I'd lose
myself I need to have my own time now
I have to
I haven't got my own time at the moment
but I really want Mark
and I to enjoy ourselves because you've got to also
remember when I met Mark
Eliza was three so Mark and I
have never had time
on our own so
I'm expecting and hoping
that once my kids are older and more independent
that's our kind of single time I think that's the thing as well it's like me and my mum and dad
my mum was 22 when she had me and my dad was 26 yeah so they did or like they like literally met
got married within a year had a baby had another one and that was like their time and now they're like what 54 and 60 um so my mom must have been 22 and 28 so um
54 and 60 so they're having their time now yeah um and it's like where we're all starting to have
children later it's then like oh actually it creeps on it creeps on I think we'd we'd do
anything to get a second because I didn't know i could fall pregnant with stanley naturally like i thought i was gonna have to my
i froze my eggs and my professor was like try for six months when you want to have a baby if you
haven't fallen pregnant in six months come straight to me we'll do ivf straight away
done so then i fell pregnant by accident which was like oh okay it's amazing i've had a message
for you about this oh hi nat and Amy. Amy, did you do any
fertility preservation like egg freezing after you had your cute baby to make sure you've got
eggs for the future? And also how did you manage your relationship and having your partner moving
into your space? Thank you so much. Love you lots from Anon. Okay, perfect. So I haven't done it since because it's very costly
and it's a lot of injecting and it's a lot of hormones
and I've done four rounds already.
So I'm just like, you know what?
I've got 12 eggs in the freezer.
So my sort of go-to would be trying naturally
and then trying IVF with fresh eggs and then
trying IVF with frozen eggs yes so I haven't released anything since then and also just I
feel like the last 18 months has gone so quickly that I'm like when would I have had time yeah
but you know I think as well my egg freezing wasn't that successful I got 12 that was from
four rounds like so two failed two successful so I got five and seven whereas like my friends that froze their eggs got like 30 so I'm actually
it's for me it's probably not worth it again no no and especially if in future I have to spend
that money on IVF or whatever obviously this may not happen with the IVF but I just I'm always like
planning ahead but and moving into my space me and Sam talked about this the other day.
We only lived on our own together for four weeks before we had Stanley
because I wanted to move out of my house.
My mum didn't want me to live on my own.
So my best friend, Luke, who I used to fly with at BA, he had a flat.
So we basically coerced him into giving up his flat that he rented and moving in
and being my lodger but he was very happy to do that and he was like oh you're gonna meet the love
of your life now I was like no I'm not yeah literally a week later I met Sam right and then
Sam moved in as well we all lived there the three of us and Luke kept saying like do you want me to
move out and we're like no don't worry we're not gonna have a baby for a long time like we're gonna get
married first and then we'll have a baby so you've got like literally a couple of years
just chill out you're here with us no worries and then and then I fell very not with Stanley
like three months later um so he actually he moved into my mum and dad's house after living at ours because he couldn't
find anywhere but the rental market i mean you need like six months deposits my mum was like
right come and live with me you can pay a minimal minimum i think she charged him something like 50
quid a week or something um and so luke moved in with her and they loved it they really miss him
now that he's moved out they're like oh and like when he was going my dad was like you don't have to go you don't have to go so it was quite hard moving him in but I'd
already lived with Luke so living with Luke and Sam said just living with Sam but it is I'm quite
messy and Sam is really really tidy so that's that's the only thing we bicker about. That really, really surprises me. I thought you'd be a clean freak.
No.
I'm so bad.
Oh, really?
Like, yeah.
To the point, when I was a kid, my mum used to be like,
you can't go out unless your room is tidy.
So I used to get a black bin bag and put everything from the floor
into said black bin bag and chuck it in my wardrobe.
That's Eliza.
And then my friends would come.
Eliza does that.
And then my friends would come roundiza does yeah yeah and then my friends
would come around and be like right let's go to these bags and they'd be like old like school
papers and one flip-flop and this is one earring one comb yeah an earring yeah oh that's where that
pair of earrings went which are really nice yeah you've chucked them in a bag instead of just putting
them in the jewelry box yes so yeah i'm so messy and Sam gets really annoyed,
like really, really annoyed because he loves it.
And Stanley is like him now.
Stanley, anything that, he doesn't like anything on his hands.
Once he's finished, so yesterday he had a bowl of blueberries on the sofa
and he got up to walk away and I was like, oh, he's going to get more.
He didn't.
He went and put it on the worktop.
Oh, that's so cute.
As soon as his nappy's done, he picks it up and goes and puts it in the bin oh that's so lovely though he's yeah he's like Sam oh that's just me I'm just on my own well that's all right
that's fine but going back to how many kids just quickly yeah the reason for is because I am two or
four because we are big theme park goers and who sits on their own when you go to disney
i mean that's quite a big commitment because of a theme park yeah i know but but yeah i think
we'll definitely have two and then go from there oh it's lovely
i've had a message here from lauren said I love Amy Hart she always seems so positive
and looks on the bright side even in Love Island when she had a bit of a rubbish time
does she still speak to anyone from her Love Island series
yes I do so Amber is coming to the wedding she came to my hen do as well and sort of the others
it's very like and I described it actually as we have with with friends we don't have like a active friendship which is really
horrible thing to say to each other i know what you mean it's being an adult
um it's we i love her and i would do anything for her and if she called me at three o'clock
in the morning i'd be straight in my car but it's it's life it's we live two hours away from
each other you know some of the girls live up in Manchester.
When I see them at events and stuff, it's so lovely to catch up.
Yes.
Yeah, but you can't be close with everybody.
You just can't do it. No.
I've got a certain amount of friends,
and some of my closest friends that I really want to see,
I've not seen for six months.
Yeah.
And they live 15 minutes away.
Yeah.
This is something that me and
sam go through a lot with um with so he moved down from potter's bars when i first met him i was like
i will live in worthing for my entire life if you are okay with that let's continue to talk if not
let's not uh so he moved down from potter's bar and he's also you know i just really miss my
friends i never get to see my friends i'm like when was the last time i saw hannah who lives 15
minutes away when was the last time i saw christy like my one of my best friends christy is a primary
school teacher and i literally see her in school holidays yes yeah if there's like parties or
hendoos and stuff i'll see her obviously and she's like one of my very very best friends
and um when we were on my hendo in july my other best friend rihanna said to me um well i'll see you in spain and i
was like we're not going to see each other between now and then she was i mean if we can find time
but realistically in the next six weeks when you're doing the love island podcast you've got a baby
i work full time and you're planning two weddings like it's not gonna happen because you have to
get legally married in the uk that's why that's true. I had my Elia, my niece's baby shower.
Yeah, I saw that.
We had such a lovely day.
It was really, really great.
And there's one friend of mine, right, Amy.
And we just crack up because we get on like an absolute house on fire.
And when I see her, we rabbit, rabbit, rabbit.
And then we just say, what, same time next year, yeah?
It's really bad, really bad.
But I'm like, well, I'll see you at Linda's birthday
and then probably at a christening in a year's time.
But we just never get the chance to meet up.
She's a police officer.
She's got three children, a set of twins.
I'm really busy.
But what I love about that is we're not moody with each other about it.
It's just the way it is. is we're not moody with each other about it it's
just the way it is and if we're just honest about it so it's so lovely to see you see you at the
next do yeah this thing I love I love doing do's for that reason so when Sam first met me he was
like I didn't really understand the whole so I have Ames fest every year for my birthday which
is a huge party in the garden um I do thanksgiving sometimes in november um just
because i love and he said he didn't really understand it he's like but now i understand
that you just love bringing people together and i know like at the wedding next week i've got like
130 people there and everyone will nobody is coming that knows nobody yes because yeah yeah I have mixed dinner parties
and um at my parties like my friends will like again because I'm friends with a lot of lovies
and a lot of crew yeah um everyone is happy to talk to people they've just met yeah it's lovely
because obviously first day of rehearsals getting on a flight and you don't know the crew but you've
become best friends in the next 10 minutes of course so everyone mingles so well and sam said i like that's one of his
favorite things about me is like you just love bringing people together so that's why i love
doing all that stuff because otherwise people don't see each other that is so lovely really
really nice really good i find it hard as well with with your friends parents because you grow
up with them yes and you see them all the time.
And when you're a teenager, you're around the house all the time.
And I always talk to mums.
I'm obsessed with people's parents.
I'm always in the kitchen chatting to them.
Well, that was always me.
Yeah.
Always me.
That's what I'm saying about you being an old soul.
That's what I think we're like.
Yeah. Can we quickly go on to, very quickly, fashion?
I just want to have a quick chat to you about fashion because you're
it's so wonderful to see you in all your outfits and you know you do all your hauls and stuff like
that when did that start and you're very confident in doing that and and it really brings people joy
and the comments that I read it's's just love. I just think people
absolutely love that you try everything on and you feel really confident in your body
and it's positive images that we're seeing. When did you start to do that and how have you felt
since being a mum, giving birth and all of that? Because you're brilliant at it.
Thank you. Lockdown started because what else was there to do apart from online shop? and all of that because you're you know you're brilliant at it thank you um lockdown started uh
because what else was there to do apart from online shop right and i was like and then film it
like and i started doing my keep all returns and stuff and i really enjoy it and i love clothes i
love fashion and it's taken me it's been a bit of a journey in that i used to because I was a size eight for my whole life until I wasn't and then I was like
oh I don't want to order a size 10 so I'll just order a size eight try on the size eight it
doesn't fit so I either keep it and go oh I'll sim into that and then six months later it ends
up in the charity bag with the labels still on um and then obviously I went up and up and up but then actually I was like
do you know what I don't know what I did a job I can't what do it was I did a job and they measured
me they did my measurements yes I knew my exact measurements I used to go onto the size guide
and look at the measurements to see what size I needed and then that I was like actually it's like
less painful I don't find it painful at all anymore
at the beginning I was a bit like oh okay this is different but it's much better to click on the
size that you actually need like even in that moment to be like oh okay I need a slightly
bigger size than that but actually again I say this now but I I feel like I'm I'm not being
genuine because now I'm such a different person.
Like when people say to me,
oh my God, I can't believe you're a size XL in Zara.
Like what does that say for society?
I was like, it says that I'm a size XL in Zara.
They make clothes in five different sizes
and I fit in that particular one.
Like it's literally a label in a dress.
Well, that's the thing.
And I remember being the same as you.
I remember buying things. Well, I was maybe a 14 and then I'd buy a 16. I'd that's the thing. And I remember being the same as you. I remember buying things.
Well, I was maybe a 14 and then I'd buy a 16. I'd be really depressed about it.
If you went in my wardrobe now, I've got XL jumpers from H&M because I really like them
because that's what I like. I've got size 10 jeans from Marksies because they always come up bigger
or next. They always come up bigger. 12s in here, bigger 12s in here tens in it the size doesn't matter and it is really hard to get your head around
but it is just a label and the different factories cut the clothes differently therefore you're not
the same size and everything yeah i think i think it's and also it's not our fault it's like
society we've like we've all grown up
with magazines being like drop two dress sizes yeah it's always been on dress sizes yes it's
never been on like kilos and stuff it's always been on dress size dress size so when you go up
a dress size you're like oh i know up a dress size get me the special k i'm gonna have three
bowls of cereal a day for six weeks. I would not do that.
But again, that was a thing, wasn't it?
I did try it.
Yeah.
Special K diet.
I did.
I think my weirdest one that I ever did was I read in a magazine,
like a woman or a woman's own or something.
Because again, I'm an old soul.
And when I was like 16, I was obsessed with loose women.
So that had like, where are you going to get interviews with carol mcgiffin denise
welsh and jane mcdonald woman's own absolutely probably the only 16 year old buying it but there
we go and they had one in there about if you had um indigestion tablets after your meal
it made the food break down slower so you got less hungry wow so i was walking around with
that renny's like eating renny's after my food to try and like slow down the process
very strange nuts the whole thing i think look i'm not i'm getting married next saturday
and i get messages i have actually got a few messages from people being like i can't believe
you haven't lost more weight like your wedding wedding, like, you know, these pictures are going to stay with you forever.
Why don't you fuck off?
And I'm like that.
But also I'm like,
do you know what?
When I went on Love Island,
I was 57 kilos,
right?
I was teeny tiny,
but I got like that because I didn't do anything except for go to work and go to the gym.
Absolutely.
I literally,
I wouldn't go out. No. Because I was scared that I was going to get drunk and tell people and then I was scared that
if I went out and I didn't drink people would be like you are going on love island right and I'd
be like I could go out to this party or I could stay home and meal prep I remember I had like a
week of home standby um for work and I was like actually i'm better off calling in sick for that and going
to the gym twice a day every day and that's how i got like that and that is not sustainable and
that is not a life it's not a life for me but some people do you know what some people love it
they'll go to work i've got listeners i promise you they say i get up at 4 30 a.m and do my 10k
run before my child wakes up now credit where credit is due good luck to you yeah
but i don't want to do that i'm not going to do that i want to cook food i cannot wait yeah i'm
getting off the phone to you in a minute off the zoom we haven't had a sunday which is just us
at home i'm so excited we're going to take, we've got, we're dog sitting today.
We're going to go on a nice walk and then I'm going to cook a mean roast beef.
I'm doing a massive roast dinner and I'm so excited about having a glass of red wine,
cooking, being with a family.
Yeah.
Loads of people I know would probably go and do pilates on a Sunday, followed by maybe
a boxing and, you know know do that and do their meal
prep and probably have a salad tonight I don't want to do that and that is not there's nothing
wrong with that but we are all individual and we are all different and you've got to do what
makes you happy yeah and my my enjoyment in life comes from like I say socializing with my friends
and family cooking nice big meals for everyone um and you know i
don't i just think we're all gonna die one day it's true like it's really no i'm with you i just
think i'm with you i was thinking i'm not i'm not the biggest fan what's that oh okay you're very
taurean like i'm a taurus really but yeah because you're a homely down to uh i'll have to look into
cancer i don't know much about it i'm like super empathetic like to the point that i have to stop thinking about things
sometimes get upset to me so much um but i yeah i just think like there's i'm not the biggest fan
of hamilton but there's a line in one of the songs it says look around at how lucky we are to be alive
right now and i like that that like literally plays in my head over and over and over again and I just think like oh like does it like my my dress looks

about why they left and stuff i i like to i like to sort of get something for podcasts i like to
come away feeling very inspired especially like driving to work and back and stuff i like to
it's so funny i i was so anxious the other day and i couldn't work out why and it was just after
i'd finished in the love island podcast and come back why and then I had to drive to Brighton and the traffic
was so bad it took me an hour and I was like oh that's why because I haven't been in the car
listening to podcasts for ages I need to drive I need to drive it's lovely but yeah so they're
my favorites oh that's lovely yeah I love driving that's good I used to be a really
brilliant driver and drive all over
like you all over the UK didn't bother me when I was younger and then never had the chance to do it
wasn't driving long distances me and Mark if we go out for the day he'll drive it's just the way it
is and last week I had to drive to Bristol and back. And I felt really anxious about it, quite nervous about it,
driving that distance.
But I thought, no, don't worry about it, just do it.
And I thoroughly enjoyed it.
And I'm really, really pleased that I've done it
because I feel like I've just got through that worry about doing it.
And again, put on my parents in hell, put on my chatterbix,
put on my Harry Hill.
