And all the mothers in the world, which we love. Yeah. Because we thought they wouldn't be here. Yeah. So I want you to sit and relax. I'm a bit concerned. I don't trust. you. I don't trust...

That's a very big statement. I don't trust you as in you've not got anything planned. That's going to be sneaky off. There is always something planned, you know, in this episode. It's not me, just blame Henry our producer, which he's the one who plans other games. Oh, okay. So don't blame me. Well, then, without further ado.

Don't take my job today's me who does it. You just have to say, vamos. Oh, okay. I didn't know that. So with Federedado... Without further ado. Without further ado... Vamos.

No, Vamos. Bamos. Very good. How are you today? I'm very good. How are you? I'm very good. So we're doing Mother's Day podcast today.

Mother's Day. Shout out to the moms. Yes, and before we go ahead, I wanted just to like, just because we spoke about it the other day and I think it's something that you pension, you know? Yeah. Someone messaged you when you say something about it was Mother's Day, no?

Oh, yeah. So, yeah, it really annoyed me. I could see where she was coming from, but it also don't take. it out on me type thing. So basically, I said online what a nice day, Mother's Day is. And a woman messaged me and she said, oh, it's nice for you. My mum passed away 10 years ago.

I can't start Mother's Day. Really attacked me. Now, my dad passed away. You know, obviously. Everyone knows. I don't have a dad. I have a wonderful stepdad. But that does not mean on Father's Day, I attack those who do have the dad, who are lucky enough

to have their dad around. And like, I still celebrate Father. Father's Day, you're a dad, I go to the cemetery, I put flowers on. And this woman, rather than be like, do you know what, I get Mother's Day is tough if you're not got your mum. Father's Day's tough if you're not got your dad. Don't attack people though. She went in on me to the point where I'm very...

Also, you're a fault. It's not my fault, but I understand people grieve differently. Yes. But she personally went in on me for saying Mother's Day is a lovely day. And I thought, I'm going to reply. And then I thought, no, because she's clearly. clearly still grieving. But like, imagine if I, every father's day,

kicked off at anyone who's lucky enough to have the dad, like, you'd be pissed off at the world and the circumstance. Don't come in at me. Yeah, choose the moments that you have with her. If you're lucky enough to still have a mum and dad, you are incredibly lucky. And it's only when you lose a parent, you realise that. Like, if they still ring you, if you still speak to him,

it's incredibly lucky. And to anyone who hasn't got a physical mum on this earth playing on Mother's Day, I understand it will be hard. But for those who have, you have, even, you have to celebrate either way. You know what I'm like with death, though? I view deaf very, a lot differently. Like, my dad's, I don't think my dad's gone.

I just think it's a temporary goodbye. I will see him again. Because also, for example, like you said, she might say that, but also, she might be a mom. So even if you lost your mom and you griefing your mom, but you still celebrate yourself because you're also a mom. Yeah. No? Yeah, I just, I don't know. I just think grief's a funny thing, but it was to,

attack me for something that happened 10 years ago because I had the audacity to say what a lovely day Mother's girl can be. I was just like, I mean, I was... It could be worse, you know. I said a few explicits in the kids. It could be worse. I go call nom?

Nom? Yeah, like the... Nons? Or nomes? No, non. Not a nonce. No. Because you're not a nonce.

No. You know the little... Oh, a gnome! Oh, a gnome! The little cartoons that were the head they live on the trees. A gnome, yes. I go, I'll go call like nom. F-nome, actually.

An eff-none. Yeah, an effing gnome. He looks like an effing nom, so thank you. Nome. Don't say nom because it sounds like you could be saying nonce. No, gnome. Nome. Nome.

Nomo. I think you'll be saying some else there as well. Yeah, no more. Why is it? Because you had your red hat on? I don't know, probably because of the hide next to you. I don't know. Oh, okay.

I saw someone called you a mucky foreigner, which made me laugh. What's that? Exactly. Mucky someone is like another word for dirty. And foreigner is. obviously because you're not English, you're Spanish. Yeah. But they commented on a post that I was on and said,

that mucky foreigner. Nice. I know. People are just weird. Yeah. But it does make me laugh. Yeah. We do a segment on the radio called Face Your Feedback.

Yeah. Where Toowland reads out the comments, any bad comments about me on the Daily Fail, he reads them out to me, and some of them, they do make me laugh. Some of it. And it's the fact you have to have an account, log in.

It's the time, yeah. But the known's quite funny. This one was on Cisian Media. It was in the video with me actually, yeah. Yeah. So that's why I said. I was like, oh, really? Thank you very much, yeah.

Remember when they told you there, what was it? Years ago, remember there there's messages, oh, you guys, panes they came here in a banana boat, yes. Manuel. They called me Manuel. At some point I wasn't scared, because my dad is really called Manuel, you know?

So I was like, how did you know my dad's name? And I was like... And when it first started happening, He actually looked at me with your hand on your chest And you went, I didn't come and have a banana bud. I was like, you probably played more tax with his country than that person ever has. That's why they're giving you shit. But there is something funny, I think.

Not in trolling, if you are being trolled, then it's awful. But in our job, we have to expect it. You know what I mean? It's going to happen. But some of the ones I get are so, some of them make me genuinely laugh. Yeah, it's funny. Someone messaged me saying, you're proof that women age, like milk, which really made me laugh.

Because I don't know why, but it's age like milk. I was thinking, does he mean we rot? Do we go off? Do I get a second skin? I was thinking, what does it mean? And then I turned it into a positive. If you leave milk for too long, it turns to cheese an even better tastier snack. Yeah.

So that's why I am to that person. Yeah. But I was just thinking, like, the people who does that, if they, some of them have, like, a good creativity, you know? If you use that talent to just do something... Do some stand-up. Yeah, you will be like the new next Ricky Jave. Mark Charnock, who's lovely.

So he played Marlon in Emmerdale. He still plays Marlon in Emmerdale. And there was this stupid rumour that went round. So basically, I chose to leave Emmerdale, literally because when you work for ITV or BBC or Channel 4, you're in a contract with them. It's hard to do other things. And I chose to leave Emmerdale because other jobs were coming in

that I had to turn down. And it was such a difficult choice because I loved it there. It was filmed in Yorkshire Dales. It was so gorgeous. It's bits in Leeds, in Harrogate, all over the place. And at the time, my character was in a relationship with Marlon, Carlon and Marlon.

And someone started spreading this rumour saying, I demanded to producers that I had to leave because I couldn't stand to kiss Mark. Mark is still one of my closest mates. In fact, what soap awards was it good? I was pregnant with Tiago. they asked me to present him a soap award. He got an outstanding achievement award at the soaps

and they asked me to present it to him. So we are still really close, but this horrible rumour went round. But the funny thing was Mark used to get someone, it's not funny, but it is. Someone used to message him all the time. He's really tall and he's really thin. And he owns that.

He always says he is. But someone kept messaging him, and they messaged him saying, we got it on our lunch break. He was eating, and his little face just dropped. And it said, you lanky twat, I want to kick you in the back. And because of it being so specific, he was like,

oh my God, do I tell someone about this? If they just said, I want to kick you or you're lanky twat, that's fine. But he said to me specifically in the back is making me think they are going to do it when I'm out and about in Leeds. So he was like, what do I do? I said, mate, so just ignore him. Just like, went to his profile picture, no image. They never have image.

No followers. But they were really specifically angry with him and wanted to kick him in the back. So I said to him, that's probably that same person who said I demanded to producers. I'm leaving because I can't kiss Marlon. Which is not true. I loved it.

And I loved Mark and it was brilliant. But his little face, eating his little dinner and his face dropped because someone wanted to kick him in the back. It made me laugh. Anyway, after this chitty chat about, characters on social media about gnomes.

So Mother's Day. Yay. It is Mother's Day. And if you are looking enough to be a mum, happy Mother's Day. If you're striving to be a mum, hopefully you get there one day. Sending lots of love to everybody. And what would you like to do for Mother's Day? Do you know, it sounds snide because it doesn't

involve you all the kids. Just want time on my own. No, but funny enough, I won't be here on Mother's Day. I know, but the kids will. I will be running around the streets of New York. I'm so low. parents in on Mother's Day because Gorker's doing a half marathon in the NYC

he's going to the Big Apple. In my head... Which I'm actually... Because it still snowing there? Yes. It was snowing two days ago and it's very cold but it's not even that. I'm just upset that my cold time to start the run is 7 3rd in the morning.

So he's like, I have to eat at 4am. Yes. 4 a.m. and you need a big meal if you're doing 13 miles. It's not even that. Where I'm staying I need to go all the way to where I'm raising. But you're saying this as if you're being forced to.

You're the silly person who chose to run 13 miles. If Tom Hardy was at the finish line holding puppies, I still would not run to him if it took me 13 miles. Then you don't love animals then. I do, but not enough to run. I would walk. I'd say it's going to take me half a day. I would walk 13 miles.

I've walked 26 miles for children. I'm running because I wanted to run in New York. Exactly. So don't moan about it. No, I'm not moaning about it. I'm just saying that. I didn't thought. I thought my call would be like.

I run at 11, you know, like a nice time, have a coffee and then go. You'd be having at sunrise. Imagine how lovely the sunrise will be in New York, is it? Yes. Through all them buildings, so you can't even see the sun. And I'm running from in Brooklyn, parking Brooklyn, through Brooklyn Bridge, all the way to Central Park. Are you going to be with someone there, though?

I know you're going on your own. I get concerned about you traveling on your own. Yeah, I don't know with anybody. So who's going to meet you there? No one. I just know where I need to go. have all information and everything. And who's your emergency contact over there?

I ain't over there. I'm at least 10 hours away. No emergency contact. So you need to plan all this. You can't just say I'm going to America for a week. Yes. I need to know the hotel details. Yeah, you have all of that.

But you should have someone out there. No, I don't need to. You'll end up like McCauley Culkin. You'll be lost in New York, won't you? I'll get a call from you. I'll stay in the Grand Central. Oh, are you? Yeah.

No, everybody's going to be there. Hi. I'd be like Harry and Mav. Oh, no, I hope the weather's nice for you. Yeah, spring. It's going to be like 18 degrees, 15 degrees. Oh, that's good for running in or not? Yes, perfect temperature.

You don't want to be hot or too cold. And when Gawker comes back from his running New York, he then has to prep me for my run in Manchester. I'm doing the 10K, aren't I? Oh, nice. Which I hate, but I'm going to do it. Oh, I realize I can do that with you. How can you?

Well, I'm in Blackpool. Double show in Blackpool is my last double show in Blackpool. But if they put you in early time, I can come Saturday night after the show home, run with you and then go to Blackburn. I don't think I would like to run with you, being honest. I'll run next to you, I won't be able to run my pace. I promise you, I'll be Pinkie Promise, I'll go to your pace.

I will be doing two shows on Saturday and two shows after, so I won't be able to go fast. It's the last two shows. It's just the only time we argue properly is when we're running together. Also, now I need to tell you something. What? You know how you have the run on Sunday, yeah? Yeah.

And I have the last two shows. Yes. So the following day, I might have to go back again to New York. Why? Because I have to do maybe a job there. Okay. One job.

It's like a highrox. You want to do a highrox in New York? You can just do one at the frigging arena in Manchester? No, it's because the ability want me to do the hypox in New York. Will Fraser be going with you? Yes. That's Fraser who you know from having a tattoo on his ass of a pig. Did we show that?

Yeah, we did. Oh, yeah. Was it a pig? No, it was a foxy. A fox on his ass. Yeah. Oh, that's a good, though. That's fine.

Listen, you'll have been on tour for five weeks. What's an extra day? Hell, you might as well go for the full month. No, it's no extra day. It's like a full week. What's another week, hey, when you've been solo parenting for five? I'd rather you do that, though, than run with me, to be honest. Okay.

That can be your excuse not to run with me. He runs too fast. He tries to speak to me. When I'm trying to focus on my breaths, he tells me, stay on the pavement, Gemma. Do this. Speed up, Gemma. And then he'll say, oh, look at that.

I don't want none of that. I want to just suffer in my own silence, look down at the floor, and with the will of anything, get around that 10K. For those ones who have never seen it, we can insert the clip of Gemma running with me. First run outside. We started now. Okay, 1K in.

Are you finding easier than the 10 mil? So far easier, but it's good conditions. It's not windy. My head of dry-the-driening is actually out of my thong. I'm not even joking. It's awful. It's a nightmare. What?

I'll get the bus. See, there's someone that run next to me. Get cook it. No, carry on running. Give us energy. Yeah. Thank God. Oh.

Oh my God. So you're not going to have your mom over for Mother's Day? I will, deal. I invite her up close so well. You should have done. What? You should have called her now. It's Mother's Day podcast.

I would love to call your mom and have some questions to your mom about you as a mother. What kind of questions? I don't know, you know? from a son-in-law to mother-in-law questions about Gemma. Just have her opinion about your daily habits. You want to call her big sons? Yeah. You want?

Should you do it? Yeah, I mean, she might be busy, but you can try. Yeah. She always answers me. I know, she does. She does love you, don't she? I hope so. Well, I'll tell you what, then.

You ring my mum and ask her whatever you want. That can be the game for this week. And then you call mine. I can't read your mom. speak Spanish, not speak English. Well, let's do it. But first, let's do our debates for this week, should we? Okay.

Before we get on to the nice stuff on Mother's Day. Yeah. Debate time. Yep. Can I go with mine? Yeah. So my debate this week is, what annoys me about you this week, that I didn't find anything that annoys me.

Really? Yeah. That makes a change, doesn't it? Yeah. I've been, I've been on my best behaviour this week. No, I just didn't probably pay enough attention. That's true. No.

No, yeah. All right, okay. So well done. Well done. Mine for this week is, you know what it is, don't you? So do you know how Gorker's been making me out to be your proper shit house with my back? I've had a bad back. All my coxies. All he's done is more about his coxics.

Not all. Yesterday. That's it yesterday. So much so. And your rib. So much so. He messaged me yesterday and said, when you come home, I need you to check my ribs. I don't know if he's muscular or something else. It's muscular. It's muscular. I had it for two weeks and he's like a lamp in there. Yeah. He's got his abs out for anyone. anyone watching any excuse.

But that's what I mean. He's had it for two weeks. He's been going on about his rib for two weeks. He's coxics for three days. Like, oh, my coxics. And then the other day he was sat on the stool. He said, sitting like this, Jamah, he's so sore. In bed last night, he went, oh, my coxics, maybe he's broke, you know.

Can he pop out? Maybe I have to get checked. Oh, I hope I can run with this. To the point where I actually said to you, you told everyone I moaned about my back. You have moaned more. about your coxics and rib. No, I don't.

Then I have about my back. It was yesterday. You know, you can't true story with the coxics. You will have to get it checked because it can actually tilt under. I know. And it can be prodding you. I know. It happened to Shinta, a friend of ours.

And she had to have it literally push back out. I know. It's painful. It's so painful. Even when I fart, it hurts. Yeah. Well, there you go. That's how painful it is.

You actually said when you're on the toilet, it was hurting to poo. Yeah. It is painful. Maybe it's tucked on. You might have to get it untucked. No, it's fine. It's felt better. Do you have him in mourning today?

But I didn't say anything today because it's better now. It was just yesterday. I wake up yesterday with the pain. I mourn yesterday. Today is fine. Less than 24 hours. Don't tell me I mourn more than you. You mourn for away with your back.

In fact, yesterday... Because I had a back pain for a week. In fact, this morning, you're still mourning about your back. You've been mourning about your rib for two week. No, I haven't. No, I haven't. I had the pain for two weeks. I mentioned to you...

First thing you did when I came off from work yesterday was go, feel this, Gemma. What is this? The first time that I tell you in two weeks. It isn't. All right. Anyway. Is the reason you not got a debate for me this week?

Because it's Mother's Day and you know you can't win anyway. You can't moan at me on Mother's Day. I'm not moaning on you. I didn't have any dilemma. Is it Mother's Day in Spain? No. When's Mother's Day in Spain? First Sunday of May.

What will you do just FaceTime? Or do you send her anything? I might go to Spain and say, hi. Happy Mother's Day, come back. Oh. No, I won't. I just call her a message. Happy Mother's Day.

But what would you not? If you were there, would you all go out for lunch on Saturday, yeah? Yeah. Probably my dad will bring her a bunch of flowers and go out for lunch, Mother's Day. Normally we usually go every Sunday, flowers for my dad or even us, and then we go to a restaurant for lunch for Mother's Day. Yeah. That's nice.

Oh, we will have lunch at home. Yeah, but normally we do that. Probably with my Nana also. The kids are at Nina's this Saturday, because I'm out with the girls Saturday night. For Mother's Day? No, we're just going out out. It's just out. I go out with my three best mates.

We go out every four months, once every four. months. We try and do three times a year and it's this Saturday. So I'll wake up Sunday and I'll have to go and get them from my sister's house. At least I get to see Rocco though. Rocco's the bulldog. Get to see Rocco and then Sunday afternoon I'll ask my mum if she wants to come up and Uncle Clive's come in as well. Yeah it's like in Spain is different times. I don't know why. It's like the other day it was like National Book Day but in Spain is no book day. Book Day is in April in Spain. I didn't realize with Book Day when we dropped Tiago off at nursery, didn't me?

There was him and one other kid in normal clothes. All the other kids, there was a little mini snow white, a Spider-Man, a Gruffalo. I thought I really need to keep my eye on that nursery app. He just went in in his nursery jumper for World Book Day, bless him. It's all right. It's World Book Day, not World Dress-Up Day. It's about books, not about you dressing up. Mia had to take a book in that inspired her, and she took in the Simone Biles' Gymnast book, didn't she?

She likes her. She loves gymnastics. She was just doing car with. and roundups. Roundoffs? Roundoffs. I do roundoffs with her, don't I? She actually said that on her episode. Yeah.

Yeah. Bless her. Is that why the tightest cracked yesterday? Probably. Yeah, I've been doing a lot of them. You cheeky swine. Shall we solve someone's dilemma? Yes. This episode of Lost in Translation is sponsored by Whoop. For those of you who don't know,

I think myself since 2019. 2019 and I'm 2020.

So we're a good few years into our loop journey. I genuinely rely on mine for a lot. I love it. It's the first thing I check in the morning how well I've slept. and my stress levels. The first thing in the morning is like, oh, I'm in yellow. Ooh, I'm in green. I had a good recovery.

Since we started using whoop, it's had such a positive impact on our lives. Having little ones, especially in the house, it comes with broken sleep. But the whoop has really helped us build routines that actually do last. And we know what our body needs each day. How will we slept? How well we recover you are? How much strain you are taking on?

It was Joe and she was sick and tired of her husband. working nights and then not helping around the house. So go back and have a listen to that if you've not heard it. It was the first kind of serious one we had that, wasn't it?

Yeah, I was quite like, I didn't know how to approach it, to be honest. No, you went straight to divorce. So let's find out what's been going on this week. But before we go with the dilemma this week, we've got a message from Natalia. You want to read it? Is Natalie the one who, she sent us a voice note? She sent us one about her child's friend's table manners, didn't she? Yes.

She said, thanks to put me on your podcast. I was shocked. She says, just to clarify, I've not told the little girl or her mum, it's just put me off having her round again as I don't want my daughter to pick up bad habits, both are eight-year-old.

And then she said, and by the way, I wasn't driving on the voice note. I said she might not have been. Good job, not driving. I was just looking after your safety, you know, and the rest, yeah. Yeah, I know, I think you can have a round again as well, Natalia. Don't.

No, they're eight-year-old. You know what I mean? Your kids are not going to pick up habits from me. You have on a friend round once every three-foot. Or just that you're a kid. You see what she does? He does, don't do it. Yeah, you don't want to stop him having friends,

if they are picking those friends. But this week's dilemma comes in from Sarah. Hi, Sarah. Hi, Gemma Gorka. Love the podcast. Thank you, Sarah. I'd like your help, please, about how to deal with the problem I've got. It's that my mum and my husband don't get on.

Well, I understand both sides, and it's mainly about the kids. My mum just wants to be involved. She'll buy them everything they need. give her opinion on important issues like potty training, etc. And has even said that this is her second chance at raising kids. However, it annoys my husband, because if he wants to buy them anything, he can't, as she's got there first. If he wants any conversations on how to raise the kids, he wants it to be us to.

She will also text us both at least three times a day asking how the kids are and what they're doing. Is my mum getting too involved? Or should I tell my husband to lighten up? I think I'm obsessed with my mum and it is Mother's Day, but I think that he's too involved, isn't it? Your mom is too much, I would say. If I was always like, your mom is too much. Man is to mind her own business, you know? No, the thing is, it's not minding their own business because...

But yes, it's not her children. It's not her family. For the kids, it's their nana or grandma. And kids love being with the nana and grandma most of the time. However, she shouldn't be buying them things willy-nilly without the parents' permission. Because, you know, unless it's a birthday or Christmas, we've already set that rule.

Like, you don't buy the kids anything extravagant just for the sake of it. If it's birthday or Christmas, absolutely. If it's not, little tidbits here and there, fine. But the fact, her saying it's a second chance at raising kids, she's not raising her kids, it's grandkids, it's a different type. No, I think, no. Yeah, I think, no.

I would say to your mum, Sarah, I know where you're coming from and you play a massive role in my kids' lives. You're my mum, you're there, Nana or Grandma, whichever. but their dad plays a bigger role. And mine and my hubby's, you know, mum and dad's word, final word, you don't have to agree with it. I'm sure one day if me and Tio have kids,

they'll do things we don't agree with. But that's them. You have to let them do it. Yeah, we'll tell her, like, no, stop. Yeah, it's too much. I mean, I speak to mine one more than three times a day, but she doesn't message you three times a day, does she? In fact, she might not even answer you when you ring.

She might think, oh, it's only gok her. If it was Gemma, I'd answer. She'd have a role. You need to have that chat. That's not good. Yeah, how I'll react. I'll react like telling you. I will tell her straight away.

I probably will go to her mom and tell her. But you don't want to put Sarah in a situation. It's horrible when you have to choose between your mum and your partner or your dad and your partner because so many people do. You don't have to choose. You already choose. That's why it's your partner. Yeah.

Your mom is given. Your partner is you choose it already. But it's things like she won't want to be in a situation where a hubby and her mom can't be in the same room because imagine like birthdays and Christmas or family gatherings when the kids want the dad and the nana there. Yeah, but just go and go like, listen, mom,

this is love you. Except boundaries. That's my family. This is how we want to do it. This is how we do it. You don't need to step in if you don't have to, you mean? Yeah. It's not your children.

It's my children. Yeah. I agree with you. High five me. We both agree on a dilemma. So, yeah. Yeah, Sarah. Tell her you want her involved,

but not to the point where she's... Just be involved when they go. on holidays. Have you ever had a partner who your mum and dad haven't got on with? Or not liked? Yeah, well yeah, I'm still with her. I bet your mum loves me

because she can't even communicate. I bet she thinks she's just... Yeah. She just smiles and nods. No? My mom doesn't... My mom is very chill. Yeah.

My mom likes every partner that I had and they were my partners. When they're not my partner doesn't like anymore. She doesn't like that. Yeah. I dated one lad years ago. I was only about 17 and 18. He was a bastard.

And he's the only person who's ever sold a story on me. He was such a cretin. And I introduced him to my mum. And I was like, oh, such a body. And as soon as you left, my mum went, I don't like him. That's genuine what she said. I went, why? I don't like him.

He's got a bad energy about him. Of course I kicked off with her. You're wrong. It's true love. Dida-da-da. Introduce him to the girls, Laura and Nat, my two best mates. Lauren, I don't know what it is about him, Gemma,

but I just want to batter him. I just want to batter him. And I was like, why? You're all wrong. Like, literally to the point where it's arguing with them. Year later, turned out to be a right cret in. Sold story on me. It took money.

It was horrible. They were all right. So my advice, if your mum doesn't like a partner on the first meeting, there might be a good reason for it. Yeah. They say mum's no best. Or dogs. Or dogs.

Like you said, it's normal. Normally in Noli that I like you. Yeah, that was when Norman and Ollie met Goka for the first time, I was like, if they don't like you, I don't know how it's going to work, because I've had seven years with them before I met you. And I'd always trust a dog if it doesn't like a person. I don't trust a person who doesn't like dogs. I think the word.

Do you know what I mean? If a dog doesn't like a person, I think they're onto you. I never like dogs. What? I pretend for the last eight years. Really? Yeah. My name is no Goka.

he's going to ring you and ask you some questions about me. But I'm not going to be in the room. Did you panic when he wrong? Did you think something that happened? No. No, I just thought you might have been asking me We've got to pick the kids up. Right, well, I'll leave, shall I?

Shall I leave the room? Okay. Oh, it's only three questions. Oh, okay. It's only three questions, Andrea. Okay. Who is your favorite son-in-law? No, just kidding. So, first question is, what was the naughtiest thing Jemma did as a kid?

The naughtiest thing? Yeah. Be honest. I know you'll find this hard to believe, Gawker. But Gemma wasn't very naughty at all as a child. It's a growing up years that were naughty. Oh well What was the naughtiest thing

She'd done as a grownab? No The only thing I can bring to mind When she was a little girl About seven or eight We had a dog, a Westy dog And she always wanted to take him out Walking on the lead

So I used to say to her She could go with her But she couldn't pass a grid Yeah Which was at the end of the road Yeah And this particular day I let her do it

and she'd done it for a few times but this particular day she went round the corner onto the park with the dog and obviously we didn't know where she was so that was really

one of the naughtiest things she's done Oh that looks bad then No she wasn't naughty at all and then as she got older she did silly things like going over to Laura's after they'd been out

and been drinking and instead of going to to the bathroom and being sick and her mom and dad more was mom and dad hearing them they were both sick out of the bedroom window on top of the conservator that's funny that's funny

because they shouldn't have been drinking yeah yeah well another question what is something about Gemma that you know the listeners on the podcast don't know well she's a hornbird as you know

and every time when she was a little girl well not too little maybe up to you know going up to senior school just before she'd had senior school

she always wanted to stay out with friends but then she'd start crying at like 10 o'clock she had miss mummy pains and I had to go and get her and even with my sister

she went to Harrogate and stayed over with my sister and on the way there she burst into tears in the car and Norma wonder what was the matter with her and pulled over. So we know where Mia gets her from. Exactly.

Okay. Yeah. And then last question. What makes you the most proud about Gemma? Right. Well, you know, I mean, I never thought that Gemma was the maternal kind for a staff.

Yeah. So I was very, very surprised when she gave us two lovely grandchildren. that's, you know, and she's made a fabulous mum, which I'm very proud of. And then, career-wise, you know, she's done so well. She's never been out of work since she was 15. And she's still the same old scatty Gemma, if you know what I mean? It's not changed her at all, has it?

Yeah, you know, you get what you see with Gemma. So, yeah, I'm very proud of how she's, how a career has developed and how she's about as a woman. Yeah? Yeah. Okay. Gemma! You can come in now.

You naughty girl. Yeah? We face the questions, yeah? Oh, okay. Thank you for that. I'm nervous. Do you ask you the questions now, do you? Yeah.

So I ask your mom, what was the naughty's thing you did as a kid? The naughtiest? Yes. I wasn't that naughty Well that's what she said As a kid

She's like No only because She said You weren't very not as a kid It was more when you're just growing up Getting more like silly Yeah So I wasn't naughty

Nauty because my sister was Oh So I learned Nina was So I used I learned not to be Because I saw what happened to Nina When you slapped her mum

Because she was being a menace Yeah What she called called me something, didn't she? She called you a B-I-T-C-H, so my mum give her a back hand. No wonder. I would say either,

I once flipped my mum the rods without her, thinking she hadn't saw, but it reflected in the mirror. Yeah, I remember that too. Yeah, I do. And I used to take the dog out without asking and, like, because I've obsessed with dogs, just used to go out with her without telling anyone.

That's the one she said. And she'd come home panic because me and the dog had gone. So you say that one, and then she said one with Loras. Oh, with Laura. Oh, yeah, there's been a few with Laura. I was going to settle there. A few with Laura.

Yeah, we used to climb on a shed. I once threw up all over a conservatory after a night out in Solviva. Henry, you'll know Solviva, won't you? Oh, yeah. The nightclub, yeah. I've done loads with Laura. And then, so next question is, I ask you mom, is, what is something that she knows about you,

then our listeners doesn't know. They know pretty much everything, don't they? Yeah. I don't think they know this, Jama. Is it to do with Laura again? No. No. Mia gets it from you.

Farting? Yeah, it's just like you. No? Well, maybe that too. I mean, I just realized that, yeah, she gets it from you. Oh, no, I know what it is. It'll be Miss Mummy pains. Yes.

Yeah. I still have that now. Do you remember when I had my panic attack in London? Because I wasn't with you. I know. Oh, God. I still panic. If I go shopping with my mum

and we're in the same supermarket and she goes on a different aisle, I'll crap myself. Where is she? Yeah, no, so I couldn't... I used to always want to sleep out at people's houses. And my mum said, my dad used to say, let's go out

or Peter would say, let's go out and she'd say we can't because we'll get a phone call. Even at Auntie Norma's, wasn't it? Even at my auntie's house. I used to cry. I used to feel so sick. That was going to Harrogate.

Yeah. And I used to feel really sick and just want to come home with me with my mum. And that's what Mia's like, didn't she? Do you remember when she had to pull the car over? Over that grid? And that lady come out. Yeah, that lady came out because she thought you were being pooling.

I was heaving over a grid on the way to Harriga and a woman come out of a little cottage to ask if we were okay. And auntie norm has said she's fine, she's just missing her mum. I just burst into tears in the back of the car when I won't. to go home. And there was one more question, yeah? Okay. And I asked your mum,

what makes her the most proud about you? Well, I would say, before kids, you'd say what I've achieved and I'm still not relatively normal. But I'd say now it's the fact that the kids,

that I'm a nice, that I'm a good mum. Yeah. Because I try to be like my mom. That's what me and Nina always say. If we could be half the mum, that mum was, even with the slap when you got called a bitch, that that's what I would do. Do you know what I mean?

Yeah. When that happened, you said to me, and you can get in the house, and I went, I've not done anything. Yeah. Was that right? Was that right? Yes, very good.

Oh, there you go, you see? There you go. Brain to brain. High five, yeah. Brain to brain. There you go, go. Yeah. I've got all crast his mom.

No, she used to ask my mom, but they can't understand each other. I know, so I've got out, he's got out of it. I said you can go on my mouth, you're like, I want people to understand your mum. Oh, well, thank you for that, mum. Thank you. Enjoy the rest of your day.

See you later. I'll probably ring your way home anyway. See in a bit. Bye. Bye. Oh, bless her. Are you shocked we've got the same answers or not really? Yes, I mean, you know each other very well.
