Episode Date: February 5, 2026

If you needed a sign today, this is it.In this episode, I’m joined by one of my best friends Jemima Rhys (aka Mimi), and we’re getting painfully honest about love goggles, situationships, fir...st loves, and why we all stay way too long when we already know the answer deep down.We talk about falling fast, romanticising potential, ignoring obvious red flags, and getting completely humbled by men who “aren’t ready” but somehow still want all the benefits. We also get into why situationships can actually hurt more than real breakups, how rebound eras spiral quickly, and why blocking, muting and choosing peace is sometimes the only option.This episode is for anyone who’s ever thought “but what if he changes?”, gone back “one last time”, or needed their friends to shake them and say get up.Spoiler: he’s not your husband — and that’s okay.If you’ve been feeling stuck, emotionally attached to potential, or just need a brutal but loving wake-up call from your girls, this one’s for you. 💔✨ Hosted on Acast.

Starting point is 00:00:00 Welcome back to another episode. Today we have one of my very good friends on Mimi Rees. Slay. Hi, everyone. So she's coming on the podcast because she has had loads of breakups, loads of boyfriend, and falls in love constantly, and out of love constantly. Isn't that right? I'm just iconic. What can I say? That is right, though, isn't it? A hundred percent.
Starting point is 00:00:27 Buckle up, bitches. going to get bumpy. This is the breakup diet. It's got to the point now that every single time she's annoyed about a boy, I'm like, just shut up because she calls me the next week and she's like, I've met my husband. I'm like, okay. Here we go again. Here we go again.
Starting point is 00:00:50 Yeah, my love life has been, I don't know how to describe it. Turbulent? Yeah. Her roller coaster. I've had quite a few boyfriends. No, but you love love, which is nice. I love. I wear my heart on my sleeve and it's not really got me very far.
Starting point is 00:01:08 You know what? I've dated some very interesting people. I've learned a lot about religion. Fair. Fair. I wouldn't take it as someone that's that religious if I'm being honest. I'm not. No. I feel like I'm more atheist. I'm Church of England, which I don't know. That's only because Henry the 8th wanted to get married at times.
Starting point is 00:01:26 And I mean, at this rate, I'm going down the same path. You haven't secured the ring yet. No. No. No. But I think two, no, one of my exes is engaged. No, one is engaged. One got married and divorced and is engaged again. So, yeah, I'm still waiting. But it's okay. I'm 26. I have time. I'm in no rush. You have time. You know how you have, like, loads of loves and you feel so deeply all the time? Yeah. So does, is it the same every time? Like, are you just excited? How do you not get your hopes, like, down? They're always up. I think for me, it's like, when I get really hurt, it's like to fill that sadness up, I like hop into the next thing to try and like fill that sad void.
Starting point is 00:02:12 Because like my therapist told me I'm like afraid of being sad. So when I'm when I'm really sad about something, it's like I just go and find, I'm like, I'm not like a nasty revengeful kind of person. So it's like instead of like doing anything crazy, I'm like, that's okay. And I think to me the best revenge is just moving on to me. happy with someone else. But I think by me being in that vulnerable, sad state, I hop into the next thing, not really thinking about it. And then I ignore all the red flags because I'm almost like, I'm just going to be happy. I want to be happy and in love. And I just rush very quickly. I wear my
Starting point is 00:02:47 heart on my sleeve. And yeah, I just, I see the, I look the, I look, I see the best in people. I don't see the red flags straight away. It's like, I've got these like love goggles on. And then I don't Yeah, you do have love goggles on. And then when the breakup happens, you can. You can, you You go Mimi mode. Mimi mode is the, sorry, it's the worst mode. I love you, but it's scary. It goes, there's two modes. It's like kind of party crazy, um, self-destruct mode or I'm just hysterical.
Starting point is 00:03:14 Yeah, we came up with Mimi mode, like, how many, like, when you first met me, you met me, you met me in school. Yeah, that's how our friendship blossomed. Yeah. Yeah. How many breakups do you reckon you've been through now? I actually, well, I've only been through one. serious one myself but with you i've been through about 10 yeah it has if we were to count them all
Starting point is 00:03:37 it's been quite a few how many is there i mean i'm not gonna say names yeah we're gonna say names okay so the school one the one that was still at school one um um and then i went and then there was the um the older one and then after him was i can bleep names if you like decide to sit yeah um there was the older one and then after the older one and then after the older one there was the other older one and then after that there was the British and then another British six five yeah I'm not gonna count that okay fair we're not gonna count that oh but that was that was a bit of a no situation ship going on a little bit there was a few of those last year yeah there was a few last year but you know what I've learned some great lessons explain like I've learned so great
Starting point is 00:04:29 lessons. Well, tell me one. Tell me one. You know what? I do, I will say, I think I kind of explored the variety. The world. Yeah, I do think I want to just stay with dating a British man now, purely because
Starting point is 00:04:45 they don't get like my favourite crisp packets. They won't understand like quavers and skips and stuff, do you know what I mean? Fair, so the important stuff. No, but I just feel like I want to relate to childhood like British things. Okay, so you're talking more not Chris but more like shooting.
Starting point is 00:05:05 Yeah or like Guy Fawkes Night, you know, it's like trying to explain that to someone who's not English. It's quite confusing and I like I like doing all these British cultural things. Like seasonal British stuff. Like I love like strawberries and like, you know, I get really excited for summertime with strawberry picking. And like I like the pumpkin season. Like if you live in another country, they don't understand. the hype of it. Like the pumpkin spice latte at, um... I feel like that's an American thing though. Is it? Yeah. Well, I like it in Starbucks.
Starting point is 00:05:36 I get really excited about it. It's like the seasons of like the British seasonal things. Like, you know, Ascot or Wimbledon or... Okay. So you want a British man? Yeah. Just someone who like understands like the British things a bit more. Like smaller, like I don't know, the British sweets. Like I can relate to what's your favourite sweet. Do you know what I mean? I know it's small but it's... It really means... It means the world to you. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:06:00 Okay, so international men out. Yeah, they're gone. Sorry, I'm over it. I don't like the accents either, to be honest. I'm not... Like, I like, and I have an accent, but I like... I like an English accent. Well, you know what?
Starting point is 00:06:13 Another thing is, they always take the piss out of me because I sound... People say I sound like the queen. But I mean, depends who I'm around. If I'm like, we're work people, I'm like, hello, so lovely to meet you. How do you do? And then, totally, if I'm with friends,
Starting point is 00:06:24 I'm effing and blinding. My parents go very cross on me because I swear too much apparently, but... Filthy mouth, they say. So with your breakups in general, yeah. Do you think, in your opinion, are situation-ship break-ups harder or, like, a relationship breakup from, like,
Starting point is 00:06:40 a long-term relationship? Situationships, I think, are way harder, purely because it's kind of this... It's just like no-man's land of what it could be, and you obviously want it so bad, and one person's in it, one person's not in it, so that when it does end, of this, you don't know what the potential could have been if you were together. So you kind of
Starting point is 00:07:01 get your hopes up of we could have been amazing. You never even tried. And then when it's a breakup with a normal relationship, the relationship clearly didn't fucking work, right? Yeah. And you did try. So you've kind of like, look at it as like, we weren't happy it didn't work. You can walk away very easily. When it's a situation, I definitely think it's like there's no man's land of, it could have been amazing. But you'll never know. And you never gave me the chance to make it fully amazing. Yeah. And you kind of, you kind of think,
Starting point is 00:07:30 then I think it's also then this, am I not good enough? Or, you know, there's, you don't, you don't really understand why the person doesn't want it and it kind of makes you go a little bit like crazy. It's the weirdest if you don't understand that, right? And then you see them move on with somebody else
Starting point is 00:07:49 and you're like that in your mind, you're like, why would they move on with them but you don't want to start something with me? Yeah, oh, crazy. But that's why I, I block, remove, mute, unfollow, I don't want to see you're dead to me. I'm amazing. So it's not my fault you don't want to be with me, but I don't need to see your life anymore.
Starting point is 00:08:06 So what would you do then if they were trying to get into contact with you? Well, they can't. No, but like, there's a way. Oh, there's a way. Of course there's a way. I never go back. I've never ever gone back. Lye.
Starting point is 00:08:18 I once remember a time, but you did get back. Which one? There's more than one, actually. That's just popped to my head. got in the back of the car you picked me up out of school when I was sneaking out of school and I jumped in the back of your car on a Saturday after lessons. I think I know the one. That one was my first love so it doesn't count. Okay fair. I agree with that statement. I will say biggest mistake but I went back and sometimes I do think you need to go back once or twice
Starting point is 00:08:44 to just really have your final three times. Did I go back three times? No, it's just so I But I do think when your first love and your first serious something, you do go back just to kind of see, you really want it to work and you have this such like... Yeah, also I feel like this is what I've found so far. Yeah. Because I've had situation ship breakups. I find them really hard, right?
Starting point is 00:09:07 But then I think what trumps that, the only thing that trumps the situation should break up is a first love breakup because that was really hard. Yeah. Yeah, the first love took me a long time. I mean, that one was quite savage, I will say, that one. Yeah. That was, he ran off my best friend, so.
Starting point is 00:09:24 Yeah, that was savage. I mean, they're engaged, so you know what? Happy for that. Yeah. Yeah. Fuck you, but happy for you. Although three of my exes are engaged. Fucking out.
Starting point is 00:09:36 Maybe you're like, that movie, you know, the good luck, Chuck or something. Is that the movie? And then they, every time after. They have, they have sex with him and then they find their love of their life afterwards. Maybe that's you. Fucking out. Let's hope not. but it's a blessing and disguise it didn't work because I would never
Starting point is 00:09:54 looking back at all of them now I probably would never go back so when do your love goggles kind of come off did they only come off once it's like a few months after the breakup or do you kind of see it straight away and you're like oh or do you see it but ignore it when you're starting definitely once I'm out of the love like it's like a month after the breakup you suddenly see like how wrong you guys were for each other and you suddenly look at situations very differently in your head you know what I also find interesting is a lot of the time you don't realize how bad things are until you tell your friends oh yeah i'm completely and when you're when your friends their reactions and then you and then you get
Starting point is 00:10:29 really sad because you're like oh is it that bad and then you know like they're honest and brutal with you well my friends are anyway because i think i'm like so naive and i'm like no it's fine they're amazing and they're like this is not okay this behavior and i'm like um so i think i need to be told yeah i've got myself in such a Does that make you not want to tell your friend stuff sometimes? Sometimes, but it's more like, I always, I can't not tell people things. I'm too honest and I have to tell people and everything. And I normally say I'm not telling you because I know your answer.
Starting point is 00:11:02 And then they're like, well, what do you? That says enough, yeah. That says enough, what are you doing? And then I'm like, yeah, they're all, but it's annoying because they're always right. I never, I don't, at the time you don't want them to be right, but they are always right. Are you talking about me right now? Not just you. I've got a few friends and I, but I need it because I do think I'm a little bit
Starting point is 00:11:18 naive and I kind of see, I see the best in people. I don't necessarily see, like, the negatives. And I, I kind of, I always find excuses for that person, not realizing the behavior. And actually, if you can't, like, would I treat someone like that? No. Would you say I'm quite brutal? Or do you say I'm, you're pretty brutal on. You give good advice, but you're very honest and straight to the point. There's no cutting it. And I remember one time, do you remember I was in the car once? And me and you would, I was, I went to go, I was in a car as I had like an hour's drive. And I think I turned, I got, I got, I got lost and I was in the car for nearly four hours on the phone to you because I kept, I was crying and I was not paying attention on the sat nap and I just kept going around in circles.
Starting point is 00:11:57 God knows where I was. And you were like, you'd heard enough about this situation. And I think you just were like, you're not happy. You need to just walk away now because you're just wasting your time and I don't want to keep hearing and having to repeat myself and say the same thing because you're not happy and we keep having the same conversation. I think this was like after like a long, it was like, months of like crying. Oh, months.
Starting point is 00:12:20 Several small things, but it makes it... Oh, but no, and I remember I needed to hear it. At the time I was like, I hate you, but... I needed to hear it, and I looked back at it, and I was like, I'm so grateful that you had that conversation with me because I didn't see it, and I was so like, everyone was very sweet and, like, being comforting, but you just, you need someone to just kind of, what are you doing? Yeah.
Starting point is 00:12:41 You know what I mean? And just shake you. And then I look at it, and I remember, it's funny, I remember it's so clearly, and you were right. every single word you said. And it made me, it's not what you want to hear at the time, of course not, but you do need someone to kind of shake you. Yeah, I think that hits a point where you're like,
Starting point is 00:12:57 you have to just be like brutal as a friend. 100%. Because otherwise you can, I think you have to be, it's hard because you have to be really understanding. And also somebody has to want to do something too. Yeah. And if they're not ready, it doesn't matter what you say. Completely, completely.
Starting point is 00:13:10 And yeah, and then obviously there are times where you don't want to tell people because you know their response and you know their answer. And obviously you just want, you're praying and you're hoping and you're wishing that it's going to get better and it's he's going to be the one and you it's it's like this fear of being alone or single right but then when actually my therapist always says to me but when you are alone you're fine and you're actually happier because you don't have this weight on your shoulders and I'm like yeah you're not wrong so
Starting point is 00:13:35 I think it's hard when you're with somebody and the relationship is not what you necessarily want or need at the time and then it's like you're not feeling met in it you know what I mean but you're with them but you feel even more lonely because it's not what you like are thinking so you're in a relationship but you're more lonely than what you would be if you were single yeah it's true it's really true because you just don't feel like the person knows you or you can't open up to them and i don't know it just ends up being you feel like alone even though yeah i fully agree so i'm not really making much sense but i fully agree and i've definitely been there while you feel like trapped and alone and you're like but i'm with someone and it's the minute you are alone it's
Starting point is 00:14:16 actually all fine and you're, you know, you're... Yeah, it's hard to do though, because it's like that comfort of having someone, even if they're not really there. Yeah, no, no, completely. It's one of the most... Yeah, it's never easy. It's never...
Starting point is 00:14:29 Breakups suck, actually. I actually... Yeah, they suck. There's nothing worse. Good comes from them, I think. Like, like, the whole shift of, like, it does throw your whole nervous system out. It does, like, kick you up the ass a bit.
Starting point is 00:14:43 It does, like, it does, like, realising. your life a bit, I think sometimes. But the actual process of it and like getting to it is so brutal. It's brutal, especially when you know the worst is when you know it's not right
Starting point is 00:14:58 but you don't know how to do it and I do feel for the people thank gosh, like God I've never been I've never like been married or had kids and so I can't imagine how that must be that must be like another level which is why I'm glad I'm doing it on that all my breakups
Starting point is 00:15:14 are now. Or if you're on a mortgage with somebody. Oh yeah, if you buy house. But you're both paying it. And then you're not just walking away. You're not just walking away from the relationship and like your whole like life as you know it. You're also walking away from like money that like you've put into a house.
Starting point is 00:15:32 Yeah, I feel for people, which is why I'm kind of grateful. Like I mean, my breakouts have been really bad, but they've never been, it could, it could be worse. I always say hope the best. Think the worst, but hope the best. And obviously the situation can always be worse. Do you think the longest period that you've been sad after a breakup, right, was your first ever breakup? Or 100%. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:15:54 That was like a year or two years of sadness. But you know, I think that one was way harder. Not only the breakup sucked, it was a lot of people that I was very good friends with and had grown up with my whole life. I introduced him. And that's why I'm very careful on introducing like partners to friendships. I know that my friendship group now would never. They are like the most amazing. My friendship group now I'm like grateful. I'm very, very like blessed to have them in my life. But I know I'm always a bit nervous because in the past I've introduced like my guy group at school and with my ex.
Starting point is 00:16:29 And they basically chose them over me and cut me out, which was like hard, especially when I grew up with a couple of them since I was young. Yeah. No, so most of them were like when I grew up with them since I was nine years old. and some of them I knew from nursery school. So that really hurt. And then also my best friend, obviously, hooking up with him behind my back and people knowing and never telling me.
Starting point is 00:16:51 So that, I think it's the betrayal of that hurting more. Yeah, it's like a double whammy. Yeah, and you don't just lose the person that you're, like, intimate with and close to and feel all these emotions for the first time. Like, you know what I mean? Yeah, yeah. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:17:03 Yeah. But then you also lose, like, all your friends and then also your best friends. It was, yeah. so I was obviously excluded from the friendship, the betrayal, people knowing, not telling me. Also, you would have, like, I don't know what your relationship was like before the actual breakup. Like, but did you feel any distance before? That's my first question. Oh, yeah, we were on and off.
Starting point is 00:17:24 And there was, I mean, he was, he was an interesting person, you could say. Okay, fair. And I definitely, there was a lot of insecurity there. And did you, like, not that it was necessarily her, but, like, did you have any feeling in general that he was being a bit, like, naughty? Um, no. No, I don't really, I, you know what, it's funny. I just, I just would, I would just never believe someone could do that. Yeah. Especially when they were like, she was my best friend of years and years. You just don't think people would behave like that or do that. Yeah. Yeah. You just, I just, I have such trust in people and until they prove me wrong, which is why I think, I go in with open arms and if you break that trust, I can kind of get, depending on how bad it is, I can get past it once. But, you just, but. I just, I just, I just, that like if you keep doing little things to break that trust, I'm like, I can't, I actually cannot be, you can't, and I'm quite cut through it.
Starting point is 00:18:15 Like, once I'm done with you, you're fucking done. Yeah. I want nothing to do with you. You're cut out of my life. I'm the same to be bad. Once I'm done, I'm really done there. Yeah. But I take a bit to be done, done.
Starting point is 00:18:26 Oh, yeah, it takes me a minute. And once I'm there, I'm like, you've had enough chances. You're out. Yeah. So, yeah. It must be really hard with the friendship out of the element, because you just would not think that.
Starting point is 00:18:38 you would not think that like I have full faith that like my good friends now yeah that if any of you if I was in a full on relationship it's a little which also is like annoying but it's a little bit blurry if like there's a hot guy and night out everyone's single and it's like you say you fancy him nothing's happened okay slightly different on that like oh if you've kissed someone years ago and you hook up it's like there's like I think there's like you know it depends on the level it's fine things happen we're young whatever but definitely I feel if it's someone you were with for six months
Starting point is 00:19:12 you've said the love word the L word the big L word and then that your friend is fucking him or doing something like that no no no no no no no yeah the only good thing from that which sorry to say is that they're like engaged and stuff too so at least like I'm like at least I'm like it's worth it you know what I mean
Starting point is 00:19:30 you know it was worth it was worth ruining all the friendships fair enough but yeah it took me a long time to to like heal from that. That one hurt. That one, I think it was the betrayal from so many people. And then obviously I obviously ended up in hospital, which, and how little people showed interest or care at the time was even more like eye-opening, yeah. Wow, did I, after how many years of friendship and how little people seem to have cared. That hurt, but you know. People are selfish and also like, yeah, they're so caught up. That's why, that is why you shouldn't care what people think really. Yeah.
Starting point is 00:20:06 Because they might talk about you for a second. They might, you know, be there at one second, but then they're, I feel like most people care about themselves so much more. Completely. But it's weird because I gained amazing friends from that experience. And that's how, for example, even me and Beatrice became best friends was purely because that week there was all this drama about me at school. And when there's drama, it's like, everyone's involved, everyone's whispering at school in
Starting point is 00:20:31 the dining hall, everyone's staring at you. And then a week later, I think something had happened with her. And we weren't that close at the time and I sent her a text message saying, thanks for taking the heat off me. I hope you're okay. If you want to go to town and get some food because we're both still hated in the dining hall
Starting point is 00:20:49 and we're both too scared to go to the dining hall. If you want to hang out with me and that's actually how our friendship started. She was like, I love how it bonded us both being hated at school at the time. Breakups make good girlfriends. Yeah, they do. You really bond with people.
Starting point is 00:21:05 Yeah, you do. You really... You're doing you together. I mean, you met me in like a dark time, and we had so much fun in London. Do you remember? Yeah. We were just... Animals.
Starting point is 00:21:15 Yeah, we did have so much fun. I was still at school, too. So, like, I was going back to school at, like, 4 a.m. on a Monday morning, getting a train back to as I was at, and going into school from the night out, because Sundays were a thing. Yeah, Sundays were a thing. Oh, my gosh. We had so much fun. Yeah, we did.
Starting point is 00:21:33 Fucking animals. Okay, I want to ask you, because this is going to... be coming out near Valentine's Day. Yeah. Do you have a bad Valentine's Day story? I don't have a bad one necessarily. I have a fucking hilarious Valentine's Day story. So I can't, I mean, I feel like my life is a blur
Starting point is 00:21:52 because there's just so much going on 24-7 and I'm just really iconic and hilarious. Basically, I can't remember. I think I had just broken up with a situation ship. Oh god, he was a fucking loser I definitely It's when I was in my little bit of a chubby stage We could say And I just remember that
Starting point is 00:22:16 Because my boobs were huge And we I remember it was like Obviously it was February Because that's when Valentine's days I had just broken up with some situation ship And I was hanging out with this guy called Max Who oh my god he's nuts
Starting point is 00:22:29 And he's hilarious And me and him I think he just got dumped or he'd gone through a breakup or something had happened and he was really upset and really broken about it. And I, just ended with my situation. I was recently, like, kind of single.
Starting point is 00:22:42 I think I was talking or in the early stages of texting someone. So, like, very early days, but I was pretty much single. And, um, me, Max had basically prepaid for this dinner. It's, do you know where, um... I know this story. I know. Okay, I was like trying to work out what was going on. Yeah, so do you know where sexy fish is?
Starting point is 00:23:02 and then you kind of, that restaurant, so you kind of go down that road, and there was a restaurant on that corner. So, okay, sexy fish is here. So where Amazonica is, around that corner, you turn right. There was a restaurant there's a sushi kind of restaurant. I can't remember the name of it.
Starting point is 00:23:16 He pre-paid a dinner there, and so he couldn't get out of it. It was Valentine's Day, which is obviously a big thing for a prepaid dinner there. And he basically was like, I don't know how I have anyone to go with. Do you want to come with me? And I was like, yeah, free dinner.
Starting point is 00:23:31 Oh, yeah, sign me. Yeah. So I thought, and then I came up with this brilliant idea to get fake engaged and like try and get like a free bottle of champagne or a free cake or something. I was like, oh, well, at the time I was at uni and I was like, I'm not going to say I was broke because I've never really been broke. But I wasn't able to afford like a 200 pound bottle of champagne at the time. And I was like, I want to bring something to the table. So I was like, right, let's get fake engaged. And he's like, what a great idea.
Starting point is 00:23:59 I was like, yeah. What ring did you use? So it's Claire's accessories. Oh, this is like not at the table you thought of it. You thought of it before. Oh, 100%. So we've fully planned this. Oh, it was a production.
Starting point is 00:24:09 It was like a full theatre production at this restaurant. So I go to Claire's accessories and I choose this right. And me and him, I remember it was like on my lunch break at work. And this is when I was working agent profite. So I snuck out and I told all my work colleagues about this brilliant idea and they thought it was hilarious. So I went out, I got into Clare's accessories, found this really horrendous, like massive diamond ring, which was like four size was too big for my finger but there was nothing else that looked semi-decent
Starting point is 00:24:36 in cladded accessories. I think it was like a tenor. Yeah. And we basically, I remember taking it to the restaurant and we met there and I put on like a really tight bando dress which it was like I think House of CB like my, I just remember I looked like a 30, five,
Starting point is 00:24:54 40 year old woman because I just looked, it was very tight and long and I made, I just wanted to look a bit older because I was like I don't want to look 19. in this restaurant getting engaged and make it look a bit more fresh. Max is not that tall compared to me and I'm wearing the most outrageous high heels so I was telling over him.
Starting point is 00:25:11 And that's the thing that normally short men like to win a lot of the time it's like a supermodel. Yeah, a lot of the VS models have like shorter boyfriends like you know it doesn't matter when you're lying down you know what I mean. So I remember walking in and we both met
Starting point is 00:25:26 and we were both giggling like finding this hilarious So I gave him the ring and we had dinner and we were both quite nervous and we're like, oh my God, we're about, we're going to do like a big performance in the restaurant. And so he went and told all the waiters and obviously he's like whispering telling me the plan. And it's so funny because obviously they're all like kind of being a bit shady. Yeah, like when are we doing like the thing? They don't think I have a clue. So they're all being really friendly.
Starting point is 00:25:50 Like, you know, can I get you another drink? Like being really nice to us. And I just remember like they have no idea that I fucking know. And then what happens? How do you do it? So he basically put the ring in, I think he told the staff to put the ring in the cake. Or he put it in the cake when I went to the bathroom. Yeah, and oh no, I would hate that if I was actually getting engaged
Starting point is 00:26:13 and my ring was like in the cake. I think he did. And it's so funny because they came out of sparklers and a cake that said, will you marry me? With one of those like, you know, spray like sparkler things. and he got up on the chair and he went, I want to make an announcement. This woman is the love of my life
Starting point is 00:26:34 and I'm trying to pretend like, I have no idea. I'm like, oh my God, no way. And honestly, I'm wetting myself. I have like tears coming down my eye because I'm finding this so funny. Yeah, yeah. And anyway, he gets down on one knee. He's like, like, does this little speech like,
Starting point is 00:26:49 she is the love of my life. I've never met anyone better than her. And I'm like really trying to like, do not laugh right now because it's been to be. meant to be emotional. He puts the ring on my finger. And then we both realized we have to kiss now because obviously, like it looks a bit weird if we don't kiss.
Starting point is 00:27:07 And I'm quite like, oh, this bit awkward. Like he's my friend. And I was like, and so I remember him like kind of looking at me like, I think we're going to have to kiss. And I was like, I actually didn't think about this. So we both were a time of kissing. It was like really unromantic and really awkward. And we were both like kind of pissing ourselves laughing.
Starting point is 00:27:22 So I remember just kind of kissing. That's so funny. I just really think about that. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Imagine. Love at my life.
Starting point is 00:27:29 And then you're like, ah, ha. We're like kissing kind of like. We're like. And then obviously everyone's cheering and clapping and coming over congratulating us. And the ring, I remember they're like, let's see the ring. And it was like this plastic thing that kept swinging down because it was so big. Oh, no.
Starting point is 00:27:47 And I honestly. So, yeah, I mean, it was very funny. And actually, I think that was probably the most funniest family's day I've ever had. But I just remember. they didn't even give us a free glass of champagne and the bill came. They didn't even give you a free glass champagne. I would have thought they would have given like one thing. No, I think we got a bottle.
Starting point is 00:28:06 They asked if we wanted one thinking like, yeah, yeah. And then they just slammed it on the bill and I was like, great. So the one thing I thought I could bring was free bottle of champagne, but didn't even bring that. And everyone got their phones out and I was like, that will go viral. No. So it was okay. But it was funny. I mean, good story to tell anyway.
Starting point is 00:28:22 But my mom shouted to me and was like, it's really bad luck. and I was kind of thinking about it. Yeah, it is probably quite bad luck and maybe that's... Maybe that's why your boyfriends are all getting engaged and you're not... Do you know what I mean? Why I fucked it for myself? Nah, nah. I mean, I feel like you should be young, so like you do do stuff like that anyway.
Starting point is 00:28:40 Yeah, it was funny though. I'm not going to recommend it purely because you didn't get anything fucking free. So last Valentine's was good, bad, whatever. They've all just been really boring. It's a money... It's like a money pit of just buying crap. Yeah. I like...
Starting point is 00:28:54 Look, if I receive... I always say it... If I receive something, I'm super grateful, super happy. If I don't, it's life. Like, whatever, I don't really care. Yeah. You know, don't get your hopes up sort of thing. I hope the best, expect the worst.
Starting point is 00:29:07 So expect fuck all. Have you get something, but I don't act surprise. Yeah. Like you did at the engagement. Yeah. That level. Yeah. Theater performance.
Starting point is 00:29:16 I did do drama for a GCSE. Well, thank you so much for coming on the Rake Up Diet. Of course. And I'm going to have to have you back on soon. Of course. really iconic, really famous. If you don't know who I am, I've got like... I'm going to cut this, because you're going to get cringed at yourself.
