I got a rebel soul, yeah, I got a rebel soul, I got a rebel soul Hello! Oh my god, we're back! We're back. We are back! Feels like we've never been away, for you. Well, for you it hasn't, We haven't. But we have. But we've been away.

I've been down under. Yep. I've been down under. And I'm back in the studio. Katie's been with the kangaroos. I have been hopping, hip hopping around, Katie. Big time. But I have landed.

Landed. And we're in the studio. Oh, it's so good to be back. Landed. Hopped off the plane. Yeah. Straight back. Straight back.

Didn't see you the night you were back. No, you didn't. Saw you Thursday, but we've kept a lot quiet. We haven't been wanting to speak to each other. I know, I tell you. We went for a coffee yesterday. Yeah, we did. We sat there in mainly silence.

We're looking at each other. I said, oh, I've got enough. I thought, actually, I'm not going to tell you that, Katie. You're going to have to wait. So we sat there in absolute silence. I said, what's the point? Why are we here? Why are we here then?

Why are we here? Sips are slurping on our drinks. Yeah. So there wasn't much point, was there? Honestly. But since we're back, we've had one episode come out. It's so exciting. It's like a little babby.

We've spoken about it for so long. I know. And here she is with birth tone. But honestly, the feedback, guys, has been so good. It's been so lovely. I was terrified. So I was away in Australia and Katie sends me a message. Katie, I've got to give you a bit of a salute.

She was a bit of a tech whiz while I was away. Bit of one with the computers. She texts me and she's like, Kit, the podcast's going live tomorrow. I was like, shit. Anyway, I start getting messages. I'm sorry, shout out to our friends who reposted. You were so sweet.

Honestly, thank you. The things you said, the feedback was so sweet. But Katie sends me and then people start texting me saying, oh my God, I think it's really good, ha, ha, ha. And I'm like, I can't remember what I said. And I get one of my cousins text me saying it's so funny you know your friend's saying your dad's a dilf i'm like did we say that i'm like and i'd say it again fraser yeah i know you would say it again

it's so good to be back with you though i'm so honestly i've missed you so much. I've missed you so much, darling. I haven't seen this little mug in three weeks. Mugging's McGee over here. Mugging's McGee. In three whole weeks, which may not seem like a lot. However, for us it's a lot. You're like a little Polly in my pocket. I am. I see you every day.

You're Grandpa in my pocket. Yep. Honestly, it has been so weird without you. We've been quite good at contact. Yes, yeah. But it's been so weird with the time difference I know that I'm kind of like

hey girl and you're catching the beat and I'm like tip tip tapping away we keep having like disjointed conversations where I'll message you

at like 10pm and then you'll be like haha and then I'll go to sleep and I'll wake up to like 10 messages from like 3 in the morning I'm like hey girl

and as well I don't write like a full message I'll write 10 loads of little ones so then you have'm like hey girl and as well I don't write like a full message I'll write 10 loads of little ones so then you have to respond to each one and if you haven't

then I'll go back and say what did you think of it and you'll be like yes it's fine I did register I did read it don't worry

I got it girl I got it girl Katie start me off I want to hear your mantra my mantra I've written it down oh go on my mantra I'm grateful Katie, start me off. I want to hear your mantra. My mantra. I've written it down. Oh, go on.

My mantra. I'm grateful because I am. Nice. Always. Always. Stay grateful. Stay grateful. I've got... I am in control.

Boom. Who's controlling my destiny? This girl. This mug. This big batty bitch right here. Big batty bitch. We've got it. She's in charge.

I love that one. And you know the thing about control is, obviously it's in the title, but it makes you feel so at one with your own strength and your own ability to succeed. Big time. Yeah, I love that. My other is I am healthy healthy now that's under a

different umbrella in the sense that not in i'm always healthy because um archie can vouch i ate an entire box of craves at the weekend um in one sitting uh healthy i was bruce okay but i'm going to the gym i'm getting my steps and i'm thinking, it's kind of like, how grateful am I to be able to do these things, to be a healthy gal? Yes, I like that. Make conscious choices. Loving life. So why have you picked healthy? That's quite an interesting one.

Have you felt that you're not on the healthy path at the moment? I just feel like they get you in the life. No, maybe it was me looking at my reflection in the milk after my bowl of cereal, but I was like, I was like, hey girl, you've taken it too far. You've had enough now. No, you've taken it too far you've had enough you've taken it too far no you keep going literally that so do you feel that you needed that for this week i feel like i need to constantly remind myself let's not like be die hard healthy saying okay i've just had a lovely cinnamon because it's not

consistent actually is it it's too much to be like i'm gonna cut out shit food because we all love to eat shit food because we all have a bad day or we all have an emotional day or even just like oh my god I deserve it, I did a great run today or even not just a great run you think look at me, yeah, succeeding. I love that I think that's really nice. Kids in the room, lay it on them. So mine's quite interesting this week because i feel like i've got quite a lot on yeah so the first one is i am strong hell yeah hell yeah and this for me means physical and mental yes did a 7k this morning was running felt so strong probably the slowest 7k i've done but i'm strong so how could it be you're trying to gaslight me you're trying to humble me i'm too quick i'm strong as well because it just gives me,

when I wake up and I'm feeling, right, I've got so much to do today. Oh, God, how am I going to get through it? I'm like, I'm strong. I can take this. I'm a powerful woman that can definitely take all of this on. It just silences your mind a bit, doesn't it? It does. Where you're just like, hey, I'm strong.

Yeah, it does. Stop that. It kind of puts a pinpoint in a little dot. Like, whoop! It's like, I'm not having any of that. Yeah. And my second, so always in threes. Always in threes.

So I'm strong. The second one is I'm capable. Absolutely. I'm capable. I'm going to take anything that comes to me in life. Because you can. Because I can. I, most of all, believe in myself.

Yes, you do. Yes, I do. in myself. Yes you do. Yes I do. There's quite a few things coming up that I'm really focusing on and wanting to nail and I think for my own peace of mind I need to have something that says that you can do it and you can tackle that. Absolutely. And by saying I'm strong, I'm capable. And I believe in myself. Yeah. It's just that little person on your shoulder or beside you that reassures you. If you've got this, you're okay. Yeah. You've got to really back yourself constantly. You do.

When I'm not constantly like, no, you've got this. You've actually got this. I do start to be like, oh, I start to question myself. Yeah. I think also it's so good to just give yourself a perspective because the I mean the generation we're in now is constant comparison yeah whether that's social media whether that's word of mouth where anything is constant comparison absolutely and to kind of have like a newsflash of like I don't need to really compare myself because I think I'm great

but the the key is to make sure that you're your own biggest fan absolutely in a humble way but in a in like a quiet confidence yes in a quiet confidence yeah but also I love when you say it to me sometimes in the sense of you know you'll say okay I'm feeling a bit stressed about this or something and I'll listen and you're like but no I've got this and none of that comes across in a cocky way I'm thinking gosh good you have self-belief because you're so successful in what you do and so talented in what you do that you have that self-belief oh my god guys we're getting emotional what is going on guys we're supposed to be debriefing about like drug nights out and like. Best woman in the world. Did she get the eye?

my mum, best woman in the world. Did she get the eye? The eye. Do you know what she didn't? But do you know why? Right, I've got to give some backstory. Sorry, mum, you're going to be highly embarrassed about this story. Whenever we go on the plane, whenever we do, it could be literally an hour across to Barcelona.

It could be an hour, like, anywhere. But we always call it the Floridian eye. And it's a thing that we were scared happens but no will come come off the plane she's fucking I go swollen and she's like coming off the plane and I'm like mom what's happened she's like kitty I've done it again so I said to her I said we got on the plane we sat down at the seat and I said tell you so do you know what? She didn't get Floridian Eye or Australian Eye.

She didn't. Mum and I were hilarious. I mean, she had all these little contraptions. Also, my mum, to give context, is about 4'11". She'll say, it's 4'11 1⁄2", but it's 4'11". And she brings out this contraption for her feet. Oh, stop, stop. I'm like, no, come on, come on.

So she sits down, and we'd already organised the whole thing. We had blow-up pillows, so we... But of course, my mum didn't want to do it herself, so me and my asthma got through. It took me about five minutes to get through one, then back again doing the others. People are looking around, turning around. I'm like, this is so embarrassing.

And then anyway, so I'm just blowing up these things i was like bloody hell then look across to mother and she got something else out how much she's saying she's brought a footstool can i feel not reach the bottom of it no dangling like bloody thumbelina she gets this footstool out and she pulls the um what's it called the little tray table down puts this footstool on and she pulls the, what's it called, the little tray table down, puts this footstool on and then hooks her feet in. We were laughing so hard that the plane hadn't even gone yet. Oh, brilliant. But what we did is we took a sleeping tablet.

Yeah, you got to. We did. And it passed us out. It was phenomenal. Were you scared when they went? Were you startled when you were getting woken up? Because that is what stresses me about falling asleep on a plane is that someone will have to wake me up and I'll be like will I give myself the ick? Oh I know what you mean, that thankfully I wasn't startled because I could hear my mum they kept trying to wake me up for food and my mum was

like she doesn't want the food, she wants her rest. I was like mum mum, thank you. You should have seen us though. We had face sprays. We had eye cream. Oh, gorgeous. We had everything. We were so prepared. It's a long way. It's a very long way. We needed to stay looking good.

It's a problem. Shout out to mum. Can't get off the plane looking dishevelled. No, are you joking me? No, you've got to look fresh faced. I absolutely did not have my head slid back. I was ready for the world. Yeah, of course you did.

Yeah. Actually, this is a question. What do you wear on the plane? So, I think it depends where you're going. Okay. If it's a long you do. Yeah. Actually, this is a question. What do you wear on the plane? So, I think it depends where you're going. Okay. If it's a long-haul flight, I usually wear like big jumper, either like big jumper trackies or big jumper like exercise leggings trainers. Oh my god, yeah.

Bring some fluffy socks. So, I did exactly what you said. Had my leggings on, had my Lulu zip up, but also had a spray little bra. I wanted to take my bra off. Cheeky. Cheeky. Stripping it off. That's a bit of pain.

Yeah. It's falling. Yeah. Good to know. I didn't know what hint you were. But honestly, once we got off the plane, I was like, oh, thank goodness I'm here. Oh, good.

You know, there was that sigh of relief. And instant heat. Instant heat. You know when there was that sigh of relief and instant heat. Instant heat. You know when you come out of the airport and you get hit with the water. I felt it.

I just felt it. And it was about 27 degrees when I was there. They were all in hoodies. Hoodies, like truckies, shiver. My family,

who lives out there, it was a very cold day. I was like, it's Hickton. It's Hickton. It was their bikini. I was like, got my bikini on. You were sunning yourself. I was sunning myself. there, it was a very cold day. I was like, it's Hicked. It's Hicked. It was their bikini. I was like, got my bikini on. You were sat in the sun in yourself.

I was sunning myself. I thought it was great. I thought that was like the perfect temp. Yeah. But I'm going back in like for Christmas in 2024. Yes. Oh God, God forbid. That's going to be,

that's going to be because it's summer, isn't it? And Archie's little salmon skin. Oh my God. She's going to be lobster. Lobster like. Archie's like me. Yes. I burn.

You do. I burn. Do you remember with your burr last year? We live in London. Toxic trait is that I burn. I mean, look at me. Yeah. I'm an English rose.

You're gorgeous. Yeah. I'm an English rose. I'm pretty sure I've got some Irish roots somewhere. You've got to. Good look at your hair. I'm so fair. Yeah.

I'm convinced. Actually, do you know what? I've known Katie for three years and I must have heard her call herself an English rose every day. I'm like, sounds out, I think, got to get me a SPF. She's like, I love crunchy nut, but it's the English rose in me. Oh, here she goes. But you are, darling.

You are a beautiful English rose. It's my toxic trait that I think I will leave every holiday, every single time I go in the sun, I think I will leave with a tan. I think I will. And every single time, boom, third degree burns. I'll peel. I will blister.

Oh, you also go red like here. I get really burnt on my nose. I get freckly. You do. Because you can't see the freckles under the burn. Oh, you also get red like here. I get really burnt on my nose. I get freckly. You do. You can't see the freckles under the burn. No, you can't. I look like a squashy. Yeah.

I'm quite concerned for my well-being. I got the worst burn I ever got in London. She did. It was embarrassing. It was appalling. It was embarrassing. When I left, how did you cope? So the first week yeah

I actually conveniently cried I cried every day what was your mantra that week I will never be whole I will never be the same

a piece of me is missing I'm not there I conveniently when everyone last time I saw you was before Easter oh my gosh yes

I had to how was your Easter I had to work oh darling so I was in the flat by myself for a whopping seven days

which if you've listened to the pod you'll know that I've said very openly I can't live by myself I can't be left with this noggin

by myself in that flat. All my mantras going round and round in the head. I'm sat there I on the actual Easter Sunday I went for a Pilates class. Oh you sent me that photo. I did. Where did you go? So I went to Heartcore if you guys I would recommend it however it was the strangest thing because i went in i've i've done reform of pilates before yeah um religiously we've done it together love reform of pilates i would recommend anyone giving it a go it is so much fun such a workout but i went and it was this studio and i used to do the reformers at one rebel where the music's like and i walk in and it's all like so I'm thinking different vibe did it smell nice as well

it smelled so good yeah different vibe but I'm thinking interesting the woman was speaking like this oh no I've seen it

and I'm like it's 9am on Easter Sunday I'm sat there like falling asleep on the bed but weirdly it was almost like a cult in the sense that

a lot of people there was obviously specific names for the movements that were being done. Oh, okay. So I'm sat there on the reformer pad, like, ready to go. And then she's like, okay, and if everyone could please get into the scrambled egg variation. I'm sat there looking around like, scrambled egg?

Scrambled egg? And you should see everyone in this Pilates studio. Did they know? They know. They literally all stood up on the bed, turned around, started stretching. I sat there like, screw it. I'm like, what? So then I sat there like, the foot behind everyone.

Were you looking around or did you ask the woman? I was looking around and then she was like, how do I perform this? And she was like, and then into kneeling wolf stance. And I'm thinking, is this woman making it up on the spot? Because I was genuinely pissing myself because I'd left. And I was like, what was that? So that was hilarious. But it was quite quiet the first week you were gone.

Yeah. But that was basically my first week. Yeah. But you were celebrating Easter. Oh, my God. And you had a good time. Absolutely. It was just so, it made me realize how much I appreciate the sun yes like

in every way in um even aesthetic like you know I was saying to my mum you wear so many clothes that you can that you can't really wear here well you can but in the summer for about two weeks yeah you know there's so many different clothes I was was like, this is fucking fabulous. Also, the no makeup vibe. Oh, loved it. Because the sun's on your skin, you're sweating anyway. So you feel like you're getting a natural glow or a natural tan. You know, all of that. I got my LVL before I left.

Got to do it. What does it stand for? Lash something lift? Lash volume lift? Oh, lash volume lift, maybe. If you don't know what that is, you've got get one guys oh i love it kitty and i used to be eyelash extension girlies we've changed but we've changed the lvl well because i got my eyelash extensions off and i was like a bald eagle i was like i was looking at myself in the mirror like jepeta where have

the eyelashes gone it is so humbling when you get eyelash extensions and then they get taken off and you look at yourself and you're like, I am naked. It was naked and afraid. Naked and afraid. But the no makeup look in Australia, like you can just feel... Beach babe. Beach babe.

And I was doing my runs each morning. On the beach? On the beach. Stop. Oh, Katie. I was doing my runs on the beach and I really missed you at that point. I was like just having you here chatting and I really missed you at that point. I was like, just having you here,

chatting shit with me. The men in Australia. You would have loved them. Could have found a husband. You could have found a husband. When we go together, oh my gosh, I thought Katie would be throffing at the mouth.

Did you see any sharkies? Do you know what? We kept saying to each other, my mum and I, you know, we're terrified about seeing huntsman spiders, we're terrified about seeing sharks. Oh my god, did I tell you about what happened with the huntsman? No. No, no. Oh my god, I'll tell you in a second. Oh my god. But anyway, I said we were along this beautiful beach near my auntie's house and they said, oh my god, there are these little kids and they're like dungarees like running out to the water and i'm like saying to my my auntie like why have they why do their parents like do that you know they're just gonna be gobbles gobbles go and she says kitty more people die from car accidents in austral shark tanks. Seems like a lie. Sharks are everywhere. I tell you what I kept seeing loads and loads and loads of dolphins which was adorable.

However you'd see their fin which kept kind of putting me on edge a bit because they come quite close to the shore. Did you go in the water at all? Did you go swimming in the sea? I didn't. It's a scary sea? It wasn't that hot. So it wasn't hot enough for that. I kept seeing the little dolphins and I thought to myself, if Katie saw that little fin, nah, she'd be off. Game over. She'd be on that fly with the pillow in her mouth.

With the pillow and she'd be sleeping. Knocked out. No, absolutely not. So we'd been there like a week and my auntie keeps saying to us, you're not going to see a spider, not this time of year. They like the heat. They're like, it's just I haven't seen a spider in years. And I'm like, oh.

It like really gave me some real confidence in my trip because I thought I was walking into like death row. I was like, I'm going to be eaten by spiders and snakes and, you know, and all of this and sharks and attacked. And anyway, mum and i um we were in adelaide for quite a while with my family yeah and we leave to have like a little bit of a girly time just her and i somewhere else within five minutes five minutes of arriving at this hotel we see these two huge orb spiders orb spiders they're this big. They have a batty on them. They are thick. Huge little...

Are they poisonous? I wouldn't be able to know. No, I could be able to know for research, but I don't know. Imagine a rugby player is a spider. Saw two of them in this web. This web is thick. This is like, I thought the web was a sheet. Stop. It was thick. I literally sat in the car, I said, mum, mum, mum, what is that? What is that?

And she's like, oh, Kelly, that's an orb spider. I'm like, oh my God. Anyway, I think the day is just like colossal damage you know to my social anxiety ever and my physical you know you couldn't carry yourself the same after that I was like a quivering wreck

anyway we're about to go into our hotel room we were like walking walking walking I see this like spider like this playing dead playing dead what? do they play dead yeah they played it no they don't i kick it no no no fuck off do you fuck i do i kicked her i kicked her it was a huntsman spider no no no like this it was like looking up at the ceiling like

this and i was like oh mom look at this huntsman spider it was like near outside of our door so i kicked her because i was like i don't want you near me i was like bad vibes so that's that's not a mantra i want you look like you're full of bad vibes respectfully like you've got to go if you're lying like that you've not got good mindset yeah so i kick it and my mum goes kitty it goes no no no no and it awakens its legs start sprawling out. It is fucking huge. It is huge, and mum says they do that, they play dad, they play dad. And I was like, oh my god!

I bet Eileen was like, here I am with this fucking rookie. It was so scary. Oh. Yeah, she did, she was like, the Brits. Because is Eileen good with spiders? Like Huntsman spiders? No, she doesn't like them at all.

You'd be terrified though with all the animals. I don i have a deathly deathly deathly fear of sharks yeah you do yeah what did archie do to you last night i have had enough of the antics kitty's got a beats pill that is glowing under my bed i didn't know that you saw that. It was on. And I'm thinking, why is it on? I'm thinking potentially maybe I've put it in my room and forgotten I put it there. Have I just hidden that? I'm like, oh, I feel, how am I going to get this back without Kitty realising that I've been using it for about three weeks?

So I was like, oh, crikey. And then all of a sudden Archie comes in. He has his phone out. I instantly know what he's going to do. Has the Jaws theme music on. Tries to lock me inside my own room. Turns the light off. Trying to sit there and play the Jaws music.

Genuinely. They did it to me once in halls. They hid the speaker and started playing the music. I cried. We even did the fin on the head and she burst into tears. Not ashamed to say I cried. She did. They're scary fuckers, Charlotte. Last night when Arch played that trick on you and then i heard gated no i was like oh shit it's not funny games now i was like archie i swear to fuck it's not funny games if you if you press play on that fucking tune tune no you wouldn't that would be something that you

struggle with because i think you're so scared of sharks, you'd be terrified of just any possibility. I remember infamously in my family, they do not let me forget. We went to Sydney when I was eight years old and we went to the Sydney Aquarium. Oh, nice. At the time, it was some form of shark week, like they were celebrating sharks. Oh, darling. Did you know you were scared of them at that point? Yes, I've always been terrified since finding Nemo Girls. Since seeing Big Bruce.

That was it for me. Yeah. I, we walk in, there are like these huge banners filled like great whites with their mouth open like. Like what? Mouth akimbo like, hey girl. Yeah, yeah. I'm sobbing in this queue

my parents oh darling my parents are like my sister wanted to go in because apparently they had a dugong exhibit so she was I don't know

I actually don't know but she was like I want to see the dugongs we were like we have to stay in this queue yeah to get in to the aquarium

you had to walk through a plastic shark's mouth oh darling you would have been terrified just wasn't happening there. There wasn't a vibe. We didn't go. No. Because my sister might be going to Australia at the end of the year and she goes oh maybe I could go into the aquarium because I never got to go in. So. I had a lot of time in Australia to reflect. Yeah. And within this reflection I was deciding what animal you would be if you were Australian and I've come to the ultimate conclusion

that I will always back myself with that you are a koala Katie because you carry comedy I'm joking, I'm joking oh my gosh that reminds me. Oh my gosh, I've got you something. No you haven't.

Yeah, close your eyes. No you haven't. Oh my God. Is it a sharky thing? No, I promise you, you will like it. You won't be scared. I'm so excited. It's not an Australian man, I'm sorry.

I did bring one back for you. Oh my God. I did bring back these. I'm so excited. Open your eyes. Open your eyes. Oh my God. Come on. I'm gonna be rocking these. I saw this. So I went to a koala sanctuary. So cute. And the wildlife and they were, oh, they're just, they are such, darling, I mean, bloody hell, I'm a koala because they've got bad eyesight, though. They've got really bad eyesight.

But honestly, they're so gentle, and you would be a koala. Yeah, I would be. Yeah. Do they make any noises? No, they don't, really. Not like a... There's not, like, a distinct koala noise. What noise would you think they would make?

Or might they be like... Yeah, they do, actually. Yeah, I thought so. That's what they do. And they they're like koalas are out did you go clubbing while I was away yes no ha what almost oh go on we went um so Archie and I went to go see an old uni friend oh yes yes yes and that evening our other friends were out and they said

oh my god we're at this club in Chelsea. Oh nice. I've never really been out in Chelsea and we went out once to that place Jack's

and it was That was brilliant. We've got those photos of us slaughtered on that little car. Oh that was highly embarrassing. It was so much fun in that sense.

The drinks I got a double vodka coke did not look just paid and it was 16 pounds for a double vodka coke another one of our friends also got um 10 jager balls and it was a hundred quid and it's like so it's an expensive night yeah we're in this club in Chelsea called Maggie's. Oh, okay. Brilliant. We finished seeing our friend, trotted over. They're like, we're already in. Yeah.

I found out later that they got there for opening, which I'm like, which is probably why. So we get there. Oh my God, so what time was that thing? Like half ten. Oh no. So that is the end. It is a bit of an end.

You don't get into a club for when it opens. You don't. But to be honest, they did the right thing. So we get there. There are two queues that go into the centre door. Like, there's one queue one side, one queue the other. We thought there was a smoking area. Yeah.

So Archie's like, oh, we'll go in the other way. They're like, no. Oh. So this guy sends us to the back of the queue. Long queue. It's pissing it down with rain. It's 11pm, which in my eyes is not late for a night out. No. We were in the queue for five minutes goes by, not moving, ten minutes goes by, not moving. Not at all? Not at all. Not even like a butchie?

No, not even a quiver. Black cab pulls up, group of five guys get out, look very Chelsea, up group of five guys get out um look very chelsea okay suited and booted very attractive yeah very lardy dark they look like mid-20s early 30s oh early 30s this guy yeah i was embarrassed for him he gives him he gives it the big gun he's like oh guys like guys guys like i know a guy i know a guy i'm getting sent oh no never stop goes Goes up to the bouncer and is like, yeah, so like, how are we getting in? Oh, Arch didn't tell me that. Oh,

this is brilliant. The bouncer goes, get to the back of the queue. So five of them then have to trot behind us in the queue. That's so embarrassing. So Arch and I were watching it

and I was like, they were stood there for like maybe another five minutes. All in the meantime, this other queue was guest list. So more and more people are getting let in. Okay. These people are getting in. This is so ridiculous. And they're like,'re like i thought you knew someone like i thought you were going to get in he's like nah nah nah fuck this we're getting in

he goes up to the bouncer goes mate how much bear in mind also they were charging 20 pounds entry for this club oh come on that's steep which is really steep that's steep the guy goes how much how much he's like no no no like no no no hands him his platinum amex card goes charge whatever we're getting in and then he brings the whole group over and he's literally like come on guys come on like we're getting in they take his card i don't know how much he paid they give him the receipt he signs the receipt he lets him in then three bouncers come out and they go we're at capacity at the venue guys we're not going to be letting anyone in for another hour you are joking i was like you are kidding me it's the night she and i just left so have you ever been to this maggie's place before no but i genuinely was so has arch do you know if arch has i don't

think he has because i'm like is it worth it if he's getting the gold damage? But the problem is, is that people were saying like, it was like an 80s themed club. Okay. What's funny is actually the next day, I was so fuming with the whole situation. Because more of the fact, the general commoners queue was not moving at all.

Tons of people on this. Yeah, your ranks all. Literally, everyone's getting let in. People are paying to get in. queue was not moving at all tons of people on this yeah your right zone everyone literally everyone's getting left like let in people are paying to get in because it happened like people are literally just like flashing their cards getting through bloody hell and then little little old me's been stood out in the rain guys i'm like this is a joke i'm like how come on how full is it and our friends were inside and they're like yeah it's pretty full oh my god the others were inside they were already because they got there, yeah, it's pretty full. Oh my God, the others were inside?

They were already, because they got there for opening. Oh, you're joking. So what did they say it was like? Did they say it was good? So they said it was a good night out. They said it was expensive. Yeah, I bet. They said... Did they take any photos?

Two G&Ts, 30 quid. Doubles? Yeah. Two G&Ts, 30 quid for two G&Ts. Oh, that's repulsive. So then Archie and Guy were like maybe we have saved our bank accounts yeah

to be fair yeah so we were like okay okay but that was that is so annoying so whilst we didn't go

clubbing we almost got there you almost did but I was sat there and I was like this is corruption it is isn't it I've never seen it before

like people bribing their way into a club I'm like how good is it it's been whipped out was he seen it before. Like, people bribing their way into a club. I'm like, how good is it? God damn it, it's been whipped out. Was he doing it, though, to show off? I would assume so. Or was he genuinely just like, this is my life and I'm living my best life? I think he was very...

And my mantra is I'm rich and I will get in. I'm in charge. And he was like... I think he was a bit butthurt that the bouncer put him to the back of the queue. Oh, really? Because he was very much like, no, no, no, like, we're getting in. And it's not even like, not in a rude way. I thought maybe if they were some form of celebrity.

Yes, yeah. Maybe, but these people couldn't tell I'm from Adam. Oh, my. I was literally like. It's one more dick. Who are you? I'm like, you're just a rando to me. Talking about dick,

have you been on any dates while I've been away? Course I haven't. No, oh my god. Oh my god, what? I haven't told you. Tell me. I about dick, have you been on any dates while I've been away? Of course I haven't. No, on my board. On my board? I haven't told you. Tell me. I deleted Hinge. So on my week alone, this is why guys, this is why. I was sat on Hinge and I don't know if any other single, single people out here can back me, vouch for me. The standard, the men that they're like oh you've got a like i go on i'm like oh i go on my like feed of people they think i'd be compatible with i'm like oh yeah that is offensive i'm like oh and i just realized every time i went on hinge i would come off it feeling fucking awful and then the guys like the guys i would

match with i'd be like hello no response or oh i'm also very much of the thing where it's like if you want to take me out message me first oh yes and then i'll match with someone and then we're just stood there waiting for someone to say something and i'm sorry it's the moral dilemma i've had this conversation quite a lot at the moment but how there's such a fine line between confident women yes and then actually it's a bit of the ick and i'd rather you didn't that's a man's job which is so hard to understand yes i've had so many male friends say oh she came up to you and then others oh her confidence is so sexy yes like where does i mean any please write in tell me yes where does that line stand and not to me not to be too deep guys i think i was genuinely just attaching how i viewed myself to when going on tinge being like

oh these the only people that were like me like oh my god like i just i felt really like crap about myself oh darling yeah i think i was just getting myself into a bit of a spiral. And I was thinking, do you know what? No. I was like, I'm not having this. It's a good thing then that you deleted it. Literally, I was like, it's not the be all and end all whether I'm in a relationship or not. And as many people like to tell me, as a single girl, it comes when you least expect it.

So I'm going to sit here. So true. Not expecting anything. I'm just going to lay back. I'm just going to sit here in lay back i'm just gonna sit here in darkness i'm just like there's so much to kill i'm just gonna get back in my cave let someone find me but i'm just it was one of those things that i'm like do you know what let's let's put you on the back burner because it's also so time consuming people who are regularly dating on dating apps

genuinely how do you do that and have a full-time job because that it takes so much effort yeah to constantly be on it messaging like trying to find the talent yeah it's it's just such a shit show at the moment i don't know if anyone else can vibe with that i'm sure so many people can vibe with that but i'm not like i'm sure you've got so many fellow disciples who can you know so say that as well so if you got rid of hinge and tinder now yeah okay completely not which one did you prefer out of hinge yeah yeah i just but yeah it's just bringing nothing at the moment and i'm like you know what i'm just not gonna so how do you feel now that you've got rid of do you so much better oh wow i feel like almost lighter no pressure

no pressure just vibing like i think it's just on the back burner I'm just like whatever will be will be and you've got so many exciting things happening that it's almost like you don't want that to be pulling you down yeah you know right ick away please, ick to me apparently you've got some great icks. I've got some really... I've got three icks. Oh my god okay. How many icks have I got? Oh I've got two icks. So we should we ping pong the icks? Yes my first ick. Yeah ping it to me. Spitting. I don't know what it is. Where I work like it's all like glass so I can see the people on the street and the amount of people I see spitting in the street I am sorry I am sorry no what do you mean spitting you know when people are just walking they'll spit on spit in the street but I've seen it so many times what are you doing that I've seen it

so many times before and I'm thinking nah that's disgusting do you see it in more men or women no I've never seen a woman spit in the street. It's always men walking past and then... And I don't know why, I really don't, but I'm literally like, it just... I'm like, it's so unattractive. If I was with a boyfriend of two years and I was desperately in love with him,

we were holding hands walking along the street and he's like, one sec, spits in the street. Oh, that is repulsive. That is repulsive. Okay, my ick. So, actually, I gave myself the ick. So, I got a new ick from myself, which I thought was impossible, but it's not.

No, it was quite a moment for me. I was like, shit, I can give people the ick. Because it happened to me. I was on the plane. Seatbelt sign, never can tell if it's on or off. Never tell. Is your eyesight that bad? No, I had my contacts in that time.

I think that was a bit of an idiocy. I couldn't understand that. When it glows, does that mean it's off or on? When it lights up, it means. Keep it on. Put it on. Right, okay. Well, that makes sense then.

Because I saw, we'd been on the plane for about 10 minutes. maybe less ping i was like great bursting for a wheel you know what my blood is like so i'm like running up to the toilet like looking down the aisle oh god i'm gonna get there fast i'm almost there guys all right you know and i get to the toilet the toilets are locked and i'm like trying to open them I get shouted at from across the plane shouted at a Malaysian airline and they're like sit down the seatbelt sign

is still on sit down everyone everyone turns around they're like owls like Hedwig

full 360 spin look around and I'm like I have to catwalk down this line so humiliated I was like I have to sit down I was so humiliating place. I was like, I have to sit down. I was humiliated.

What's your next dick? Next dick. Unlike your time in Australia, we've had some pretty terrible weather over here in London. Been pretty terrible. Lots of rain. And that's when I saw it. People's umbrellas going inside out.

It's so true. When people are walking. out it's the shame it's the shame of like trying to get it back it's the panic and then they like put it on the ground and they're like looking around it's so funny. Did it happen to you or did it happen to us? I watched it happen to someone else and I was howling. Oh, that is such a good one. It was so funny.

That is a great one. My next one, so I saw this guy trip over and I was like, fine, fine, fine. But he stopped and looked back to see what he tripped over. And I was like, do you know what? I was like, never look back. Never look back. If you're going to trip, do it with your chest. I was like, skidding.

Skidding, trip, roll, rolly-polly. Like, go on, roll across the ground. And then just stand up like, yeah, that happened. He tripped and he's like, oh. Then looks behind and he's like trying to look for what it was. Oh, did he? It wasn't even like a look back, walk away. No, no. It was like a proper, I'm going to be Sherlock Holmes and find what it was oh did he it wasn't even like a look back walk away no it was like a proper i'm gonna be sherlock holmes i'm fine he was like he was like oh and then he like looks behind and i'm like you've done it we've seen it do it with your chest

leap into the trip style it out yeah style it out go on yours this one this is more of an observation that just makes me fucking die about London. Go on. I like to call it the Tube Olympics. Love it. Where if you're stood in the carriage and there are other people stood up as well, someone will adjust themselves in their seat, eyes on them.

Everyone's like, they're getting up to leave. They're getting up to leave. Then people start to kind of walk over. Oh my God, this is so true. To try and poach the seat. then olympics this is so true it is honestly like it's happened to me so much where two people would be stood in front of a seat and i was watching these two men be like no no no like take it no no no take it take it and someone's like okay like? But like the amount of times someone will like rustle their newspaper and someone's like, are they getting up?

Are they getting up to leave? No, no. I do it as well. Yeah. I'm sat there like. You've got to do it. Especially when there are certain stations you know people are going to get up at. So as soon as you.

Hell's Court, they're off. When you're approaching Hell's Court, I'm sat there like, who's looking a bit shifty in this? Who's gathering their bag yeah I love it and they're like shimmying over but it's so quick as well

because then people just you literally blink someone sat down no one has you don't think you literally see the empty seat you're like boom yeah

gotta do survival of the fittest I love it tube olympics honestly they were such a thing great ex I'm over yours.

Final section. The final question. Do-do-do-do. Do-do-do-do. Love it. That's how it's synced with all. Or, because it's a question, it's like, do-do-do-do-do. Do.

It's final question. Final question. Okay, so I'm serious this week. Yeah, you are. So pretty simple one, but quite controversial with people's answers. Interesting. Can you tell me, Katie, Rebecca, Mary Leach, what is your ideal first date?

Interesting. I think coffee is a bit wet okay a first date okay in the daytime i don't think it's the right vibes okay i would say the guy should organize i think the guy should organize if he's like we're gonna go on a date let me organize yeah i agree i would say 8 p.m timings wise then you can give yourself, if it gets to 10, you can try and give a good excuse, I've got work early, I'm going to go, or the night can progress.

A wine bar. Oh, nice. Somewhere like, I feel like dimly lit is maybe a bit too romantic, but I also think if I was in a Spoons, that's too light. You want there to be a good vibe. I would say somewhere for drinks for sure.

Yeah. Drinks only, no dinner. Okay. Would you want to get dressed nice? Yeah, I'd want to get dressed up. I don't think I'd wear jeans. I'd probably wear like maybe a skirt and a nice top. Okay, nice.

I think dress is too... A bit much. Too much. Yeah. You want to keep it low key. But also I think an activity is really, really difficult. That's risky. For example, if he's like, let's do crazy golf.

I'm just braxic, guys. Can't fucking swing a golf club. I would be all stressed the entire time. Yeah, that's something you could do later down the line when he knows you and you're like, but it's funny. Yeah, literally. But like stuff like cinema, you're not really talking for like two hours. Not a chance.

That's a bit boring. Yeah, okay. So your second is like seeing if you've got fun or seeing like oh we spoke about this on our first date when because you're always talking about interests and stuff it would mean a lot to me if then we're talking about our interests and he goes oh my god i remember you saying this let's go do this okay that's sexy yeah what would your ideal first date be well i was thinking about this when i knew i was going to ask you. And obviously Arch and I's were so different because we knew each other for nine months before.

Oh my God, yeah. So like we, it wasn't getting to know each other because we knew each other. It's getting to know each other in a new way. Yeah, in a sexual way. Wow, did he do well. Sorry, Arch. Oh God. He knew Iodge. Oh, God. He knew I was a lady of luxury because our first date was at the Sky Garden.

And he has spent every single anniversary and birthday trying to outdo himself. He has. It's our two year tomorrow. I know. I know, it's so exciting. I can't wait for you to do what he's got planned for you. Oh, really?

If I was giving advice to you or to a a friend I would say keep it casual. Yes. You know because that would have been too overwhelming if I didn't know him. I would have been like oh my gosh it's a bit much. Yeah. So I think I completely agree with you. I'd want drinks. I'd want it to be chilled. I'd want to dress up but not be too like pressured into a dress or something just like boobs out but bums covered you know one or the other as Archie's mum always says so kitty one or the other um I know um so yeah I agree with you gorgeous and hit me Katie so yeah silly question silly question if you could be an Olympic sport what do you think you would be and it's not what you'd want to be damn damn it's not what you'd want to be it's actually what you think you are oh damn damn because I know

what I'd want to be oh do you what would you want to be yeah gymnastics 100% yeah but you're not gymnastics I'm not

I'm not am I you're not gymnastics shit oh fucking hell I know what I am I know what I am like I don't even want to say it

I'm dressage I am dressage you are dress want to say it. I'm dressage. I am dressage. You are dressage. Prancing him out. I actually thought of, I thought of these beforehand and I was like, did you think I was dressage? I did, I did. I am. No I'm gonna, oh. No you are. I am. I'm dressage because I think it's slightly high maintenance. It's click, click, click, click, click, click, click. Very pretty, very pretty. There's not a bead of sweat. No, they're just... Yeah, very nice.

What are you? Again, I would like to think I am something like... What? I would like to think I'm something like figure skating. Something like figure skating. That's the most ridiculous comment I've ever heard in my life. Katie, you're despraxing. That's so funny.

Okay, so I'd like to think of figure skating. Okay, you'd like to, but you're not, so what are you? I think potentially, I think it's between two. Okay, go on. And I'd like for you. So what are you? I think potentially, I think it's between two. Okay, go on. And I'd like for you to decide for me, because I think I could either be synchronized swimming or the discus. Oh, shit.

No, I know what I'd be. What, what, what? Power walking. I'd be power walking. You would. I'd be shitting. You would. I'd be power walking.

You'd get all your fucking Beats headphones on. One ear out. One ear out one ear out you would be 100 and justify why why would you be because i think i would be power walking okay because i think it's probably one of the silliest olympic sports i've ever seen in my life because i actually thought it wasn't an olympic sport until i was watching it when they're doing it in real obviously your feet can't leave the ground yeah the rule is so they've got their little sticks and they're just like shimmying along. Well, I don't understand that.

How can they see that their feet don't... They literally are like... Have they got cameras on their feet the whole time? I don't know. But genuinely, when you watch it, I would encourage everyone to look up Olympic power walking because if you want to chuckle, genuinely, they're like a flock of birds.

Just all in use and like shimmying around. They've got great hips don't they great hips great rhythm yeah you've got good rhythm actually to be fair

so you would be you would me fucking dress like a new fucking speed walker oh my god that was a great question yeah thank you
