Proximately.
Hi, Gemma.
You okay, Gemma?
I'm unfit.
My heart rate is 180.
I can't do nothing.
Even though I grow and birth two children for you, Gemma.
You unfit.
Don't hate.
Congratulate.
I can tell he's been away and not had sex.
It will take you two seconds.
I used to run for Manchester girls.
Yeah, when you were 12.
I used to do harness dance when I was seven.

So come and say hello.
Right.
Let's get back to it, or as Gorks would say,
Vamos!
Hello!
How are thou?
I'm good, I'm naked, but good.
Yeah, me too, but good.
My body's in bits.
I didn't remember how painful it was dancing.
Well, you do now.
For eight hours a day.
Well, because you are on the road,
and I'm manic with the kids,
we're doing a listener question episode today.
People have been kind enough to send us the questions.
So we will have a little catch-up in a minute,
but before we do,
we have had a question in
and it is
who has the best bum in the relationship?
Me.
Gorka.
Yeah.
I'll give you that one.
I will say the best bum in the UK.
Really?
Yeah.
Would you really go that far?
Yeah.
Peachy Tide bum.
You do.
Anyway, welcome to Lost in Translation.
Bamos!
So on today's episode
we're going to be answering your questions
but if you're new to the pod,
welcome.
Hello, if you're not new, welcome back.
Welcome back.
Oh, welcome.
Or in Spanish, bien benito.
Bien benito.
Welcome.
Welcome.
We listen, we don't judge.
I do judge.
He judges everything.
We play games.
We solve dilemmas.
We have debates.
We chit-chats.
What I love about it is I get messages from people saying how normal it is in terms of the stuff we bicker about and row about and get annoyed about.
and get annoyed about loads of other people do.
So you think, oh, right.
So it is normal then in a way.
I feel like I spent the whole episode moaning, to be honest, at you?
Well, it's your whole life moaning.
Are you?
Yeah. Well, I'm Victor Meldrew, so.
Yeah.
We had to tell him if Victor Meldry was after about how long had we been together,
about four, five months.
And he was like, who's this, Victor Meldrew you keep saying I am?
And I showed it him.
And he went, that's not me, but then now he openly says,
I am Victor Meldrew.
It's fine.
And I'm higher since bouquet.
I like to moan, you know.
Yeah, you do.
Get it off your chest.
Yeah.
So how has your week been?
This is the first time I'm seeing you.
Well, my week has been all about five, six, seven, eight, one, two, three, four.
Position here, position there, do a trick.
It's a lot of dancing.
Are your feet hurting yet?
More than my feet is my back.
Oh, my back.
Ah, my back.
And sitting like this is not nice, but.
Well, it's kind of reassuring, I think, for all those non-dancers.
Because it is hard dancing.
and you're a trained dancer,
a professional dancer
and you say it's hard.
I mean, I didn't say it's hard.
It's not hard to dance.
It's hard to do eight hours a day dancing.
Oh, okay.
So there's a difference.
Running is not bad for you.
Running ultra-marathons is horrible for you.
And dancing.
Running 5K for you is not bad.
Dancing for fun,
it's amazing for everybody
to learn for your brain,
for your body.
Dancing from 9 in the morning
to 10 in the night,
yeah, full out.
It's...
painful.
Someone's got to do it though.
Yeah, I love it.
I love to tour.
Yeah.
It's bloody painful.
My back is in bits, but I love to tear.
You say about running, I'm running thrice a week at the minute.
I've stuck to it.
It looks that you're running, yeah.
Yeah, you can see, can't you?
I'm trying.
I've got my 10K, Manchester 10K on the 31st of May.
Are you going for that time?
No, I just want to get round.
You say that to me every year.
But saying that, every year I've got quicker.
So I've been doing it now.
I've done it four times.
My first attempt was I'd not done any running at all since school.
And it was like an hour and nine minutes.
And I was chuffed.
I was like, oh my gosh, an hour and nine minutes.
The last one I did last year was 57 something.
So I'm not a genius at math,
but that's a good time difference that I've shaved off, in it?
So it's like what, 12.
And you just thought we got to do the load?
12, 13 minutes.
I've shaved off my first.
ever run time with a low break.
Sounds like Carlos.
So as long as I do it in under an hour and 10,
I'll be like, I'm still okay.
I hope you do it 10K in at least like 55 minutes.
Why?
Because that's 55 is okay.
But you're a runner?
I'm doing 38.
Exactly because you're a runner.
I didn't say during 40.
You should say, as long as you try your best,
that's what you should say to me.
Don't put pressure on me to do it in under 50 minutes.
I said, I hope you're doing it at least in 55.
minutes.
For someone of you,
which is healthy and feed
and exercise.
I don't enjoy running.
I just hate,
we went for a run.
Before you left at all,
we went for a run together.
The most painful run I ever done it.
I generally will never tell you to run with me again.
Good.
I don't want to run with you again, ever.
I said to him,
we had a conversation all the way around,
which probably tells myself,
I could have gone maybe quicker.
If I was talking, I was breathing,
I could have gone quicker.
But I just...
It's not about going quicker.
I said to you,
what are you actually thinking
about now as you're running.
I'm so bored.
I look at the...
Hear the birds.
Look, people walking with the dogs.
Look at the, like, the scenery.
Do you know?
Think of ideas that I think,
oh, I need to get done this.
I need to get done that.
You know?
I was just bored.
I said to him as we were running.
I said, I'm so bored of this.
And you don't get bored on the treadmill
looking at a wall?
No.
I like a treadmill
because I can have music blasting.
You can have music when you're running also.
No, because I always...
Someone might come behind me and slog me.
I always like to have my...
Just one headphone.
No.
Put it on your speaker.
That's why I always tell you, don't run with me.
You were the one who suggested it.
You even said to me, you do the run with me and I've said no.
You know why I want to do it with you?
Because I want to encourage you to do it.
And I want you to do it.
So then you get on the habit of like...
The habit.
The habit of enjoying it more and do it.
The same way that you do your weights and do your platis and you spend those hours
doing your cleanser, your facial thing.
Because I enjoy that.
Yeah.
But your heart is the most important.
nothing of your body.
My heart goes up when I'm weight, when I'm strength training,
and when I'm Thai boxing, when I'm doing Ulster, when I'm hit training,
when I'm sprinting, my heart rate's going up.
I don't have to run 10K or half a marathon.
I said 5K.
I'm doing it thrice a week at the minute.
If I tell you to sprint 400 meters, you will stop before the 400 meters out of breath.
I bet you whatever you want to bed right now.
I used to run for Manchester girls.
Yeah, when you were 12.
I used to do hundreds stands when I was seven.
It wasn't when I was 12.
I was in...
And do the splits.
It was when I was 15 to...
14 to 16.
Yeah, stop living in it. When I was 16. When I was 12, I used to do the splits like a young club and damn.
You can't even touch your toes properly now.
Can you do the splits now?
No. Why? Because I'm not that flexible. Because you stopped doing it. Yes.
There you go. You stopped doing something. You forget how to do it. I stopped running.
I don't need to split for any reason. I need to touch my toes. I do it. I do it. I do it for any reason.
Yeah. No, no one does. Neas practicing a split.
But if you have to run away, hold me and Teah and run away.
You won't be able to do it.
Yes, I would.
I would run away.
I'd turn around and fight them.
Sure.
Should we do the questions?
Yes, better do the questions.
Do the questions before I absolutely batter him.
Oh, have you seen these messages?
No, I've purposely not read them.
Oh, the picture of the doggies.
Before we go into, we've had some messages from my love listeners, Jodie on YouTube,
has said, a massive fan here from Australia.
Oh my gosh.
Good at me.
New Zealand, Australia, special.
My partner and I crack up to this podcast
We need more of you guys in this world
It's hilarious
Thank you for Jodie
Zoe has said
I love the pod
Here's my one-year-old border collie
Max and my parents
Six-month-old Terrier Tilly
We'll listen to the show
We were all saying
Oh my gosh
Look at Max and Tilly
Oh my gosh
I am zooming in
The little one is so cute
Isn't it?
They're both gorgeous
I know
It looks like the smiling
Yeah
Don't think about more dogs
Oh look
Max is smiling until he's just the beautiful little girl
I see this and I can't rid of your head already thinking about another dog
Yeah because look
It's like when the other day I said you don't even think about it remember
And I'm my best friend's getting a dog and he just went
What will happen when she's on holiday Jemma
And I said well they'll get someone to look after it
And then I just looked at him and he just went no
Absolutely not
Don't even think about it
And she was like I'm not
It's like you are don't even think about it's like
If I come home and that dog is here I'm out
We look after Rock House
Mind you, you were away actually,
one, aren't I?
Correct.
I looked after Rocco,
my sister's bulldog for two weeks.
He was such a gorgeous, scrumptious potato.
It's like me the other day.
Anyone with a bulldog will tell you that the best dog.
I like Bulldogs, though.
Oh, he's beautiful, Rocco.
But we had him for two weeks,
but it was when Gorka was away.
Oh, I couldn't lift him, though.
He was like 30-odd kilogram.
On feet.
It was like a sandbag.
Right, so these questions,
the producer Henry, the producer Henry, our producer Henry, Enrique in Spanish,
put some questions on Instagram, he just said, any questions for myself and gawks?
Please send them in.
As always, you didn't disappoint.
So let's go through them.
Should we do one each?
Yes.
If you reverse jobs, who will be better at the other person's job?
I wouldn't be able to dance because I'm unfit.
My heart rate is 180.
I can't do nothing.
even though I grow and birth two children for you, Gemma, you unfit.
Yeah, you can dance.
You can dance for a bit.
You won't be able to do mine.
Well, talk shit for hours, yes.
No, you wouldn't.
You wouldn't be able to run a business.
You wouldn't be able to do live radio.
They are talking about your job, which is running the radio probably, no?
I don't know.
I definitely won't be able to post on a bikini like you used to do.
You wouldn't be able to do live radio, I don't think.
What do you mean, no?
I would be hilarious.
You'd forget you're live.
No.
I would be hilarious.
I could do your job.
I'd be a good dance instructor.
Well, dancer.
Could you be able to perform two-hour show
and do all the steps?
You forget I've done,
I did six months in the West End,
two shows a day.
No dancing.
You were dancing.
I was Peter Pan.
I was Peter Pan.
I was flying.
Why were you Peter Pan if Peter Pan is a boy?
Because it's Panamomar.
They always flip roles in pantomime.
That's why it's fun.
I was Peter Pan.
I was flying, dancing, singing, acting.
Three shows a day sometimes,
over Christmas.
Well then Gemma can do it.
So I think we'd both be quite good at the other person's job.
I might not have the patience to teach the partners to dance.
I'd be like, for goodness sake, we've done it eight times.
Why don't you understand it?
Yeah, I experienced that with you and I was your dance teacher.
Yeah, we did the Christmas special together.
And we fell out more on that two-week Christmas special rear,
so then we have in nine years.
Let's forget about it.
That was awful.
Next question.
Will you do any more clothing?
Your loungeware range was fab.
Do you know, I don't think I will.
I think if it came to clothing, it would be you.
You've had some really good ideas for clothing, haven't you?
And for me, it wasn't my passion, really.
And I'm one of those.
Unless I'm really passionate about something.
Animals.
I'm at the stage now where I'm choosing who and what I spend my time on.
And I've made a conscious effort to do that.
Me and Laura said,
2026 is the year of no.
Is it?
Yeah, that's what we've been saying.
And anything that's been asked really,
if someone says,
do you want to do this?
In the past, I would have gone,
yeah, what I'll do?
I'll see if I can.
Leave it with me.
I'll get back to you.
Then I've gone to you.
I mean, we'll moaned about it,
and then gone back and done it.
And now I just go, no thanks.
Thank you so much, but I'll pass.
You see, I learned the no when I was 18.
Yeah, because you're not British.
In England,
We apologize for everything.
Do you know what I mean?
So it's the year of the no.
So things that have, like,
a recent job came in for me.
And I said to Vicka, my agent,
I'm so flattered that they'd think of me,
but I don't want to do that
because it's away from home for too long.
And she went, really?
I said, yeah.
And she went, okay.
And I thought, oh, the instant relief
was usually,
I'd have been killing myself over it.
I'm like, no, yeah.
So sometimes it's too much effort for no reason.
So with that clothing, that's why I wouldn't do it,
but I know gorks and clothing.
I would wear your clothes.
You do already.
I know.
And actually, the next question also you do.
What does Gorka do with all his trainers?
Well, half of them, Gemma takes them from me.
The other, you can get them invented if you want to.
Well, you say I take them from you.
You give a lot to my nephews as well.
No, my niece.
Yeah.
My niece is size seven.
Gorker's a size seven.
So Minesse gets a lot of your stuff.
But you take them a lot of sometimes.
Or sometimes I go like,
You like them, you go, oh, nice, I said, just keep them.
Vicky, classy cleaner, she takes some.
Yeah.
She nicks some for her two lads.
Yeah.
They go everywhere.
Your shoes get everywhere.
Yeah.
But they are all colour-coordinated in the wardrobe.
Are they?
Yeah, you have like, and you stack them on top of each other.
So I can do double pairs.
Yeah.
Whereas mine are all just mismatched.
Yeah, I mean.
Thrown in there.
What do you mean?
I mean, these are all right, aren't it?
No, I mean like you, you're like a mismatch.
Why?
What's wrong with me?
I've got white socks, jeans, brown trainers.
Yeah.
When and where were you getting married?
I ain't getting married to him.
No chance.
Yeah, no.
No, we said that.
We have seen somewhere.
We've seen a couple places.
I don't think I'm going to get married.
I know, I don't.
But do you know, my mum was saying to me the other day,
when it comes to my will,
she was saying how much more complicated it is
without being married with a will.
Yeah, but I don't want anything from you.
I know. It's not about you, you idiot.
It's about the kids.
But the kids will have everything from you.
Yeah, but I need to put in a will.
My will at the minute was before Tiago was born.
Well, change it, yeah.
I had a will.
As soon as me as I was born, I changed it.
I need to change it again for Tiago.
And my mum said...
I don't have anything.
I spend everything, so then I don't have nothing to live you.
They can work their own life.
spent on me, nothing to you, nothing to the kids.
That's awful.
I'm joking.
But no, and my mum was saying to me, she said in terms of getting married, Gem, she said,
when it comes to stuff like that, you're in a better situation if you're married.
Do you know what I mean?
And I thought, oh gosh, obviously that's not a reason to get married.
But I think we might do...
I mean, everybody says about getting married.
Everyone I knew who's got married has ended up getting divorced, apart from my sister.
Yeah.
Everyone I know genuinely.
But also, we find like that, we have two children, you know what?
Married is just a document for a legal thing, you know what I mean?
Yeah, that's what I mean, legal will.
Yes, but for a party and things like that, it's just like, do you know what I mean?
I think we'd be like Kurt Russell and Goldie Horn.
Yeah.
Just unmarried for how long?
Do you get some people that have been for 15, 20 years, then they get married and divorced one year after?
That's what I mean.
Is there like a plan in any more tools like Spikisham, France, TBC, I don't know.
We'll see.
Maybe, yes, maybe not.
You've got a tour for this?
Yes.
We're doing a Lost in Translation tour, we remember?
Well, that's something we're putting out there.
Yeah, maybe.
Maybe we can dance in the same thing.
What?
Will you dance with me?
We can do a performance.
People will love that.
I'm not going to do a performance with you.
You can do what.
Bring Arduino.
I don't dance with Adwino.
Why?
Because I don't dance with him.
I teach with him.
I don't dance.
Adono is funny.
If you all met Aduino.
Yeah.
He said, what was it?
He said the other day on FaceTime.
Oh, when he said, he was asking me, FaceTime to ask if I would allow Gorka to go to
Mallorca with him for his stag, was it?
I was that what do you mean?
Would I allow him?
I'm not asked.
We're doing his stag, dude.
Yeah, it's like a joint one with Alberto.
And he wanted to go to Minorca, Mallorca, but we can go there because of his friends and blah, blah.
So we're going to, we're going to do it in Italy in Tusk.
in Tuscany.
Right.
So he said,
but you and I,
he said like,
I don't have it in a honeymoon anyway.
So if you want to,
you and I can go after the wedding
to Menorca for a weekend like last summer.
Is he not having a honeymoon?
No.
What is he,
he's going to work?
Yeah,
he's going away on tour.
Yeah.
What a shame.
So he said in August
because he might be back in London.
Yeah.
On a weekend,
we can go to him and I'd like to Menorca.
Yeah,
but he faced time to ask me
would I allow Gorka
to go to New Yorker?
No,
it was just like,
I said,
I was just like,
I was speaking on the phone and I said, well, you need to ask Gemma.
And Gemma was there.
And he was like, hi, Gemma.
You okay, Gemma?
Gemma.
Hello, Gemma.
Right, as you guys know, Lost in Translation is brought to you by Shell,
which is perfect for us because we stop by Shell all the time.
Our days get really ecic.
So it's good to know that Shell is there when we need.
Shell are the place to go for any journey whether you need charge,
full the car, or yourself need something from me.
Yeah, well this morning, I went there for breakfast, believe it or not, for the two guys doing the jet wash.
We've got some fellas doing a jet wash at the minute at the house.
They turned up without breakfast.
And I said to them, don't worry, I'll just nips with a shell.
Because you can get everything there.
You've got your fruit, you can get veg, you can get sausage.
Other there, remember in the morning, last minute with Mia decided she wanted to have a glass of milk.
And I was going to go to the supermarket because I thought she didn't want in the morning.
So thank goodness we had the shell next to us.
So I just drive it five minutes back
She was happy's La Rigo
Go to school
She has milk
Job done
I never just use our local
For fuel only
Because you go in there
And you think
Oh I need that
Oh I need this
I can just pick it up
I'd even use it for my parcels
You know the parcel post
Yeah
Oh of course yeah
Yes
You send your parcels from there as well
Just go in there
Put it in the box
They take it
Whatever you need
Job done
Shell has got you covered
Gemma
Amier and Tio
Fluent in Spanish
Will you feel that you have to learn
They're not fluent
Yeah, are they? He was, the other day he was saying,
Ola, Buenos days, Abuela, to your mum on FaceTime.
I don't feel like I have to learn because I have a translator.
I have had lessons. I did it in school.
I understand a lot more.
I would love to learn.
I would love to learn.
But it's just finding the time.
But you know, Wes, who I do the radio with sometimes,
his wife, Tish, she learned on that,
Lingo, duolingo.
Lingo, duolingo, yeah.
She learned, she's fluent now.
Took her one year, but she has lessons,
and he said it's dead, dead easy.
Really?
Yeah.
I mean, Mia likes to do it on the app.
Yeah.
And then now, once a month,
she has a Spanish instructor.
Yeah.
I had a Spanish instructor.
She was called Estelle, weren't she?
Or Stella.
And I used to go to her house every week,
and she was brilliant.
But then I had Tiago,
and I just, I didn't go back to her
Because when I, anyone will know when you've got a newborn,
you don't do anything but live in your pyjamas and newborn phase.
You pick it out quite quick, to be honest.
I did, pick it up quick.
Yeah.
But yeah, me or in Tio, I think, will be a lot better than I will,
but I will, maybe I should.
Well, I will get back into it after I've run my 10K.
Next question?
Next question.
What are both of your love languages?
I don't know.
What's yours?
Food?
No.
I mean, like, affection, for example, like, I don't know.
Like, for example, you live the house and always say, I love you, bye.
You never leave the house and say, I love you.
That's true, we don't.
We always say it.
And we always end a phone call saying that.
Love you, bye.
Yeah.
Mine would be...
Like, for example, this morning was nice.
I was starting having a coffee.
You came around and hug me.
I know.
Because you are no affectionate at all.
Well, it's only because you've been on tour and I thought I'm going to have to, aren't I?
I was like, do you know, I've not seen him for weeks.
Like, get it while you can type thing.
Not a pipe.
We didn't pipe.
But, I mean, yeah, because I'm not going to see you.
So if I don't hug you today, when I'm going to hug you again, it's going to be weeks.
Nice.
My love language, again, I'm not fussed about anything material,
but I like it when, because you're a fantastic chef, like I always say it.
I wouldn't say a chef, but yeah.
No, you are.
You can make it, anything you cook and family and friends come around, they always ask,
oh my gosh, where's this from?
How's he come up with this?
I would say I am a good cook, not a chef.
A chef is someone who lives professionally of that.
Well, you're a very good cook, so I like it.
when you make a nice meal.
Okay.
So maybe mine's food.
Yeah, maybe, yeah.
Yeah.
How do you manage to juggle parenting with your work life?
Tag team.
Tag team, yeah.
And also, we're very, very lucky.
It takes a village and we're extremely lucky that we have the village.
My mom, stepdad Peter, Nina, my niece, I know not everyone has that extra help.
And we're also very lucky that my hours of work, you know, in the morning, I'm extremely
busy with work but it's usually able to be done from home and then around two o'clock to
late o'clock I'm out of the house for the radio but my mum picks them up from school when you're
away don't she um she has them for tea on a wednesday I think we just kind of again it's about
saying no the amount of stuff I've turned down since becoming a mum and and it's because it
would mean me being away from the kids for too long which for some people I mean I don't judge at all
for some people that's brilliant and it works
but I know I wouldn't focus enough
I panic about everything if I'm away from them
I wouldn't be able to enjoy what I was doing
or be focused on what I was doing
and we've always made a pact
whenever Gorkers away I'm at home and vice versa
and I think it's because
I mean we've been away like for a night so
aren't we but I think the most of done
is two nights away together
but I know that me
It's more you than me to be honest
Yeah, you could go away for a week, easy with me.
Yeah, like, for example, I would love to go a weekend away.
Yeah, weekends, fine, I could do a weekend.
But I just know they want me, so I can't relax.
When you know your little kids are pining for you, you can't really switch off.
Yeah, maybe.
He's like, I could.
What's your favourite memories from your times on Strictly that don't involve each other?
That's a good question.
Oh, many.
I mean, for me, I have many memories.
My favorite part is the group numbers with the rehearsals with the professionals, hanging out.
Yeah.
Like when we are doing, for example, the tour now, it's just the fact that you get to hang out, you know?
Yeah.
Coffee breaks, coffee breaks, things like that.
Mine is, and it sounds really big-headed, but I opened the show on 2017.
And that, for me, I only look back now and go, oh, my gosh, you were the first dancer of the 2017 series.
And we did the cha-cha-cha-cha.
I can't remember what song it was.
Oh yeah, there's nothing holding me back
And you walk from the stairs in the corner
Yeah, I was crapping myself
Yeah, I was absolutely crapping myself
Nothing is holding me back with your curly hair
And Ali Ash knew for about four days that we were opening
And he told me the day off
And I said, why you're only just telling me now
And he said because I know you're going to crap yourself
And I fully did crap myself
But yeah, so that was my favourite memory
But like you say, it's the bits in between
The bits that aren't on telly, like when you're rehearsing.
The pizza in the corridors.
Pizza in the corridor after every show.
Coffee breaks, the banter, the hair and makeup room, everyone having a laugh.
So I'd say that.
But that's the same with any job on telly, I think.
Backstage is the fun part.
Any TV job I've done, it's the backstage banter.
That's fun.
The crew are fabulous.
Would either of you ever do Gladiators, the TV show?
I've been asked twice, aren't it?
but it was filmed in Sheffield
and it was always filmed when you were away.
So I had to say no again
because it goes back to leaving the kids.
Because it's three days,
you shoot it over three days.
You have your rehearsal day.
You block run then the actual day.
So it's three days.
So again, and it's the same with Celebrity SAS.
I was asked to do that twice.
But it's when Gork was away.
So I've had to say no.
But also with the SAS,
I spent a week with the,
Foxy who's on it and he's the nicest team and I said to you dinner is so lovely and he actually
said to me I told him I said they've asked me to do it Foxy and he said I don't think you'd be able
to we said I won't be able to shout at you now that I know you so that's another reason why I couldn't
do it which nasal stripes do you both use I don't really use nasal strips
yours is black tape yours is just a tape isn't it no it's the proper ones they use ones I just got
mine off Amazon I don't I don't really use them anymore like I feel
finish them. I bought my ones in
it's called Health
the website. Is it? Health
Yeah. H-E-A-L-F. And you can buy them in there.
They sell also the same ones that you use
but you can buy the black ones because they are more resistible
and they pull you more. Other than Gem and Tonic,
if you both had unlimited money to start a business, what kind of
product would you sell? Oh, I have a few ideas.
I will do one clothing brand. I will have a coffee shop.
Of course you would.
Because I love coffee and like cake. You know,
like a little like me a steve room.
I will create a gel for running.
Right.
I have an idea of running like gels.
That I think there is not dead and people is missing out.
You have thought about it.
I think I do like a holistic pet business.
Because my friend who's a vet.
Holistic pet business.
Yeah, no, my friend who's a vet.
With crystals.
No, my friend who's a vet, she said to me, she's down south,
but she said like the amount of dogs and.
cat she sees she says they're on the wrong food they're on the wrong treats the heavily
medicated with stuff they don't need to be so she said there's things you can do it's these
things like putting parsley on the food if the poor you know stuff like that so I think I'd do
something like that and then just you'd be around dogs and cats all day as well and little rabbits
um next one if you could change one thing about each other what would it be
would you make me a runner
No.
What would you change about me?
Probably your clothes.
My clothes?
What's wrong with my clothes?
Your clothes sense of like, yeah.
Do you know what I'm thinking now?
Do you remember last time we were at home and Ryan came in your, he did like,
you said, oh, I told Ryan, I give him this, go buy me clothes, yeah?
And organize my wardrobe, yeah?
Yeah.
He said, you have to organize the wardrobe.
And I said, you were there, like, oh, you like it's like, yes.
The problem is not the clothes.
The problem is when he lives and you have to match them.
You won't be able to match them.
So you change how I dress?
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
I love your personality.
You just...
What?
No, what I'm saying is that I love the way you are as a person.
You made me laugh, everything about you.
Like, if you're messy, if you're messy, I love all of that.
Sometimes I go like, oh, does she just forget to look at herself in the mirror?
But I'm flawless regardless.
Yeah, that's why.
But I sometimes think that about you.
Sometimes you wear things and I think you look ridiculous.
But I never tell you, I just think...
Tell me?
No, because I think it doesn't matter what I think
As long as he's happy and comfortable in himself.
But sometimes you express yourself, darling.
But then you mourn about yourself also.
That's what annoys me.
I'm not moaning about this attire.
I like it.
I think I look flawless.
I'm not sure if I like this.
No, it's very tight around my neck
and I should have tried it on before I arrived.
There we go, just it.
But I just winged it.
Then for example, if we go out and say,
oh, let's take a picture together.
I take a picture.
Oh, I'd take a picture.
look awful.
Yeah.
Well,
I think everyone does that.
I don't.
I'm trying to think
what I'd change about you.
Many things.
Because I can only pick one.
My OCD.
Your OCD, maybe.
My judging.
Your grumpiness.
I'm not grumpy.
What?
I think anyone who's listened to this
will say you're grumpy.
Yeah.
It's my Spanish.
Yeah, maybe grumpy.
I'd make you less,
I'd make you more chilled with things.
I am chill.
It's just the...
Yeah.
I'd make you more.
A bit more like blue bear
Instead of being like the panther
What's the panther called on the jungle book?
Begira.
You're like Begira and I'm like blue.
I think that's how it works.
What's the one thing that you respect about each other?
I respect that he's very talented in terms of dance
Because it's very, very hard to do
and it takes a lot of discipline and focus
and dedication and time and
energy which he put in when he was younger.
So I respect that, that when it comes to your career, it's an athletic career and you're
very, very good at it.
That's what I respect about you.
What do you respect about me?
I respect everything about you, your opinions, your beliefs, what you like, your dislikes.
No, you don't.
Yes.
I don't agree with them, some of them.
That's the matter.
But I respect them.
I don't think you do.
Yeah.
What do you mean?
I don't think I do.
No, I think you listen and you just forget.
No.
I do.
I probably, I said it probably because I care too much about it.
Well, you care too much about everything.
About everything, not regarding you.
Oh.
With everything.
That's why I go.
And what annoys me sometimes that I say things and you mourn after about them and you don't
realize.
It's many things that I can tell you that you say one thing and then you're doing the other.
And then I mourn to you.
And you're like, why are you being a moaning?
I'm not mooring.
I'm just trying, actually.
Because you did this.
So the other day,
I found some tiger balm on the side of my bed.
And you go,
it's your tiger bomb and there's not mine.
And it's,
had Thai writing on it.
And I said,
is this your tiger barn?
That's all I went.
And you went,
No, it's not mine, Jemmer.
I had proper tagabam.
And I was like,
friggin' hell.
Yeah,
had the proper tiger balm.
And I just thought it was the use of proper
as if this was a shitty naffy one.
No.
And I just went, oh, right, okay.
I said,
it was on my side.
of the bed. I didn't put it there. I don't know whose
it is. I was just checking. He went, no, it's not
mine, mine. And he's like, geez, just say, no, I don't
know where that's from. I didn't say in that way. I said like, that my one
is the proper tiger ban with the tiger.
Right. Yeah, that's what I said. Okay. So
you could have just said, no. And I would have gone, no, okay.
You asked me that at 10pm when I was half asleep also.
Gorka, how similar is the Spanish royal family
to ours? They're king compared to
our king. Oh my gosh. Your king's like
cool, attractive, handsome.
I mean, they are quite similar to be honest,
because they are the same way in trouble
and corrupt, to be honest.
So, like, in that way, they are similar.
The king's father have to leave the country.
He cannot live in Spain
because of the money that he's still, so...
He stole?
No stole.
No stole, but you know when he deals
with like the Saudi Arabia shakes
and he got gifted
200 million something for whatever, you know what I mean?
Right.
And he had an affair with a war.
man so similar things you know
oh so everyone's just
dutty aren't they yeah
how do you keep the spice in your relationship
when you're busy with work life kids and pets
we put their cinnamon
the cinnamon in the spice
um
I don't know we just kind of
we just try and make time don't we
I think you have to you have to
you always tries and preempts it don't you
I was in the utility room the other day
trying to put some washing
If I'm ever in a position where I'm lower than my bottom,
like if I'm tying my laces or if I'm emptying the washing or anything,
he stands behind me and goes,
and again, I think it's something that all men do.
Excuse me, who is the one when, please, any male listen to this,
have your partners have going behind you and bum you when you try and brush your teeth.
I do that to him, yeah.
Every time.
Yeah, every time you're pushing you deep.
And I bang my head.
Yeah, to see how you like it.
It's like this.
It's to see how you like it
Because you do it all the time
So I think it's little fun
Fun silly things
Oh no you don't do that
I think it's fun silly things like that
To each other
That keeps it
Yeah
Keeps it fun and alive I think
And I think you just have to
We don't have date nights as such
Because that's for us cringy
Our date night is child free
Pizza
Nice series
Relax cinema
But yeah
you've just got to make time for each other,
which we're trying to do in between the tools.
I don't know, it's just, I don't know.
I don't think it's spice has gone, has it?
It's just, do you fancy me more than or less than when we first met?
Same?
Oh, I was going to say more, because I know you better now.
Because you know me better, probably you fancy me less,
because I'm more annoying.
More annoying, yeah.
Probably.
But I still have, I still fancy you the same.
Like, for example, if one day I walk in the room and you're getting changed,
you just, I'm like, ooh, do you mean, there's no time that I go.
So you said the other day, I guess I'd start looking at your boobs today.
Yeah.
You were getting changed and I was like, ooh, there's no day that I go like, oh, God, I have to do that again.
Well, that's good to know.
Yeah.
What are you going to do?
When are you going to do series three of Gem and Gorks?
TBC.
TBC.
Watch this space.
Watch this space.
Yeah.
We can't say loads about that, but there's things coming, isn't there?
And we had a blast filming.
I remember it was in there, we saw it in the paper.
The show was being axed.
And we were like, really?
We're literally in conversations now.
I know.
What is your favorite summer snack?
You're in a bikini.
My favorite summer snack.
Me in a bikini.
No, my favorite is a snack, I will say.
It's like Greek yogurt with frozen berries,
toast dates with cinnamon and banana toast banana.
And then put it over it with a honey in my home granola.
You could read that now, isn't it?
My summer snack is a salad.
I love a salad, but with like the big bull tomatoes.
Who makes the salad?
Avocado, pumpkin seeds, lettuce, olive oil, just a big...
Nice focatch on the side.
Yeah.
Who made a salad?
You made a lot of it in lockdown.
I like a nice salad.
And I also love strawberries dipped in 100% dark chocolate frozen.
Nice.
I like that.
Is that a hint?
No, but I'm just saying
We had a lot of lovely salads in lockdown
Don't we?
I love a salad
How'd you put up with the media
printing lies about your life and relationship?
I think it's in just knowing it's lies
Like, there's not what you can do about lies really
You just
It's the whole, my dad used to always say
Right with it, right with it
Lean with it, rack with it
We always say that to each other, don't we?
Yeah, lean with it right?
There was a show called Run's House, Rev Run on MTV
and he or whenever there was a summit and something going on he'd go well lean with it
rack with it so we're that one in there don't hate congratulate yeah go go go don't hey
congratulate yeah my dad used to say to me worrying's like being on a rocking horse
something to do but it gets you nowhere so I just sometimes think oh we've got to get off
the rocking horse but it makes me laugh how my auntie noramor will send me something
say is this true lover are you okay are you having another baby you having another baby love I'm like
God, no.
As I have to send the IP to my friend,
sorry, guys,
we're going madder,
but you were invited.
Yeah.
Yeah, no,
I think it's just the whole,
as long as you know,
it's the same way,
like, when you're at school
and there's rumors and stuff.
My mum used to always say,
as long as you know the truth,
darling,
that's all that matters.
And it happens to everybody
in every way,
everywhere,
so it's fine.
Yeah,
lean with it,
rock with it.
There you go.
Don't hail,
congratulate.
Another more questions?
Do you ever wish you'd met sooner?
No.
No.
It was the right time.
Yeah, no.
I think if you were married sooner,
probably we'd maybe don't end up together, you know.
We wouldn't have done.
If you'd see me on a podium in BCM, you'd have thought,
oh.
I think if you were met earlier,
maybe we didn't end up together.
So I think it was the right time and the right place.
There's no such thing as coincidence.
We were meant to meet when we did,
and we were both meant to experience
what we did beforehand.
That's what makes it work, I think.
I wouldn't have been ready to settle
and have kids in my 20s,
even at 29, which seems old, it's not.
So, and plus you were all over the gap, weren't you?
You're in America, London.
Yeah.
You weren't in one place.
Yeah, like now.
So no, so far, eight years is enough.
Last question.
Oh, this is funny.
Who would win in a fight?
No, not me or you, but I would absolutely win.
One dinosaur-sized duck.
or 1,000 duck-sized dinosaurs.
1,000 ducks-sized dinosaurs.
Yes, power in numbers, in it?
Yes.
If you all rally together, you can defeat.
It's the whole David and Goliath thing.
Yes.
Your size doesn't matter.
It's what you do with it.
See, you've made it sexual.
I didn't.
Yes, you did.
You gave a look.
No, because you're taller than me, you can reach higher than me.
Imagine a duck.
Have you seen the film Howard the Duck?
No.
Have you never seen Howard the Duck?
Maybe in the Spanish.
It was an 80s movie about a duck from space.
I wasn't born then.
You don't remember.
Well, if anyone has seen it, you'll know how good it was.
You are from a different decade than me.
You're older than me.
It's a duck from space and he studies Quak Fui.
And it's brilliant.
And the film, Quak Fui, is a karate champion in Quak Fui.
Oh, sorry, because you...
And the film is trying to get Howard the Duck back home
and they meet this crazy scientist.
Very funny.
Nice.
Anyway, that's all we've got time for.
You know what?
I feel this episode was very intense.
You got intense.
Do you know what?
This is going to sound awful.
You can tell him being away.
I can tell he's been away and not had sex because you're highly strung, you're short-tempered, you're ratty.
You need to get watching some stuff when I'm not there and do what you need to do just to be released before you get to this couch.
Because it makes a difference to your attitude and mood.
Sunshine.
It really does.
You go and throw yourself
across that hotel room next time
before you come here.
It would take you two seconds.
Oh God.
Thank you for hanging out with us this week.
