At Gabby Roslyn. Enjoy.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Now I added extra. So this is our extra nugget. this is our show and tell. Have you brought something that brings you joy to show us? I didn't know about that. Oh, look. Oh, you have brought, you have.

Is it funny, though, even when we, people that we surprise, what on earth is that? It's a backscratcher. You have a backscratcher. Hold on. Let me just, may I. It's a telescopic backscrack. You have, okay. Did you?

You really do. Stumped. I am stumped. I didn't think, but I get... Okay, so in front of me, I'm holding a telescopic back scratcher in a sort of dark, no, Air Force Blue and Silver, and you just found it in your bag randomly, or do you take this everywhere? I do take it everywhere, yeah. Do you scratch your back?

Yeah, because you never know, I hate, without sort of going into Blue territory, you know, Blue the bear. Oh, I see. Sorry, I thought you meant blue, the colour blue. Oh, God. I thought we're going to pump trolley again. No, when I was younger, I used to go to yoga, and I used to be able to do incredible reaches with, you know, my hands.

I just can't do it anymore. So there are areas of my back that I just like, oh, I can't reach it. Oh, it drives me mad. So when I found a backscratcher, I was really, really happy. So I do take it everywhere, yeah. How often do you get your backscratcher out? Oh, probably not.

Not that often. Maybe once every three weeks or something like that. And when you do get it out, do you do it in private or are you very public about having a... I don't care. You don't care? No. Will you backscratch anywhere? Yeah, not during a take on a film set. No.

At the Emmys in front of Leonardo DiCaprio? No, that was the SAGS. In front of Leonardo DiCaprio, would you backscratch? Yeah, probably, yeah. You would? Yeah, yeah. Does Jason Stakes know you have one? He doesn't know.

Did anyone ever borrow it? No. Do you not let anybody else use it? Well, I think the wife has used it a couple of times, yeah. But what was bizarre is that I met, I made friends with this really great actor from a series called This Is Us. He's called Chris Sullivan and he plays Toby in it.

I don't know. Yes, I know the show. And we literally had an instant bromance. We were like, I love you, I love you. And we met up from. a cup of coffee. And he, I took it out because they hadn't brought me a spoon or anything to stir my

sweetener with. Oh no. So I took out my sweetener. He laughed his head off at me taking out my sweetener. But then when I stirred my coffee with my back scratcher, he didn't bat an eyelid. I still think about that and I think, well, why? I must take him up on that. Don't mean, in every single way, you are A joy spreader. You are a joy spreader. Thank you.

I'm slightly worried. I didn't touch the scratchy bit. I only touched the end of it. I did wipe it down after I stirred my coffee with it in America. I was more concerned about the back than the coffee. Thank you. You can have your back scratch a bag. Thank you very much.
