Hello
Hi
Welcome
Welcome along
I feel like I haven't seen you again this week
Another week, another F
Another chance for us to catch up
We've genuinely not seen each other
All this year
I've just realised I've got Mia's loom band on
Mia wanted me to wear a loom band
And I have done
I was just gonna say that
Two days ago
Two days ago
Yeah not last not
not last night
the night before
we were going to bed
and you were like
finish your show
and you were like
we're like a week
and I was like
yes the last two weeks
I was like yes
just one more week
and then I'm done
and then I can rest
and I said yeah
one more week
and I go away to London
and she was like
oh it's true
yeah
we've not seen each other
for ages
because of various work stuff
and I literally
so next week
all the madness for me ends
and I've just got the radio
which is
still work but it means I'm back it's my routine work yeah it means from two o'clock till
half seven I know I'm in work for the last two weeks it's been jobs before the radio
and then the radio so it's London next week London yeah it's been full on but it's been
good and we'll die we'll let you know about it all now welcome to another episode I've lost
in translation without further ado vamos
Coming up.
Proximaimente.
I'm in a bit of a pickle here, I said, because the traffic ain't moving.
My bowels are.
By the time that I open the fridge and I'm going to get something, I'm like...
That's because of your height.
What?
Gemma's had a shit in my house, I can't have that.
So I had to just do this to dry.
I have to just waft.
Yeah, you could very good be balls.
I'm, oh...
Because I had a poo bag in my hand when he proposed to me.
There's more of me to love, more jelly, more love.
Do you know what I mean?
So, yeah, this week has been very busy.
Well, the last two weeks have been really, really busy.
I've been working on a show for Channel 4, which you can watch in the new year.
It's out the first week of Jan.
I would say, like, the whole November has been, like, manic.
It's been manic, but I hate that whole, oh, I'm so busy, because everyone's busy.
Everyone's, you know what I mean?
But it's been, well, one of the things we got excited about this year was the fact that Gorka's judge on the Spanish.
version of Strictly, which meant it freed up time for him to be at home in the week.
But she was great because that means you had done other jobs.
Yeah.
But having seen each other.
We've not seen each other because he's been at home in the week, but I've been working
like a maniac back to back with the TV, with the radio, with the podcast, with Gem and Tonic,
with parents.
It's been full, full on.
And I had possibly one of the worst experiences of my life this week.
Like going back to the people, like, going back to the people say, oh, how is it?
She's been at home with the kids in Germany.
I was like, well, it's like passing ships.
The kids are great.
Gemma, I don't really see her.
I know.
I've been getting up in the morning, creeping downstairs,
making my food prep,
literally leaving before the kids are up,
saying bye to you,
filming all day till three,
then going to the radio till seven,
home at quarter to eight,
walk, Benji, just to get some zen time
and then being bed at half eight, nine.
And it's been like that for a long time, isn't it?
but I was driving to one of the days we were shooting
I had to be in South Manchester
which from our house is about 50 minutes isn't it
so I set off and the satanav said 45 minutes
I was like great I'll be there on time all good
halfway through the journey the satnav jumped it added an hour on
and there was a really bad accident on the motorway which was awful wasn't it
but it added an extra in the end it turned out it took me
two hours and 20 minutes
to what normally would be
a 45 minute journey
and I'd had
a coffee before I left
and because I thought
I'd be there in 45 minutes
I had a coffee on route
You know what happens
I have a coffee early in the morning sometimes
Yeah
I started to need the Lou basically
And number two
Or number one
And number two
And I said to Gorka
What's wrong you dinner
I said, do you know what
I'm in a bit of a pickle here
I said because the traffic ain't moving
And I'm, my bowels are.
I was like, I really need a toilet.
And Mia was joking about it once, you because she was on the call with you.
You were on the school run.
What are you going to do, mummy?
What are you going to do?
I was like, oh, don't worry, I'll make it.
I'll be fine.
Another hour had passed.
And my back was sweating.
I was thinking, oh, my gosh, like, what the hell am I supposed to do?
I had a mug in the car.
So I was thinking, right, worst case, there's a mug.
Then I was thinking, no, that's not possible.
And then we were on a housing estate, I was thinking, right, I could knock on someone's door and be like, I'm so, so sorry, this is an emergency.
I was like, no, I can't because if they listen to the pod or if they listen to the radio, they recognize me, they're like, Gemma's had a shit in my house, I can't have that.
Anyway, I found a petrol station, didn't I?
And I said to you, it's a petrol station.
I was like, yes, thank you.
Thank you, God.
Thank you, petrol station, pulled up, ran in the petrol station.
So, oh my gosh, oh my gosh.
And it was a single cubicle with the sink in there, changing my.
everything. So one cubicle, straight in, sat down, I was like, oh, okay, finally, all's well
again. And then I went to wipe. There's no toilet roll. Oh, there's no toilet roll, was there?
I just concerned. You just sat down without checking if it was only a roll. I had no choice,
Gawker. Was it clean? Well, there was no loo roll. And to add even more mess to the situation,
what time of the month was it
there was the other mess as well
it was just it was like something
at one point I thought I'm being punked
I am being punked
but I was like no do you know what
you got a roll with it literally
so I had to stand up
I had to wash myself in a public toilet
and then there was no toilet roll
so I had to just do this to dry
I had to just waft
waff myself around
thankfully there was soap
you could do the handstand in the dryer
The silver lining was there was soap
and I was backed up to a dryer
don't you worry
so all was well
but it was just
and when I got back in the car
I literally I didn't know whether to cry
laugh
I have a voice note about that
say like how low she felt
I said to Gorker I've never felt as low
and unhygienic in my life
that's like when you're in a Porta Luna
you know when you go like I don't know
like on a festival or something like that
a concert and you have an emergency
and you end up on a portal loo,
you have to be like that.
It was awful.
And then I got to the location
and the crew were like,
you're okay?
And I went, well,
I've practically just crap my pants
in a service station.
I had to wash myself in the service station.
Let me tell you,
you had a shitty day.
I did have a shitty day.
But do you know what I kept thinking, though,
driving in?
Because I was genuinely on the verge of tears.
I was like, do you know what,
there's been a car accident.
I wasn't involved.
Be grateful.
Of all the things to happen in the world,
A bit of shit on your cheeks is fine.
It's fine, yeah.
And I did manage to clean it.
Do you clean your fingers?
Yeah, thank God there was soap.
But then I genuinely,
I felt like saying to the people
who worked in the service station,
you need to have a backup toilet roll in there.
You're a service station for a reason.
People are on the road, the busy.
Do you know what I mean?
They've not just come from a lovely toilet.
Stock up on the loo roll.
Told my mum, no sympathy at all.
She said, well, Gemma, you should have a bag
with wet wipes in it.
You've got two kids, no excuses.
I never go in a publicly without hand sanitizer and wet wipes.
Especially where you have a like a history of like having those problems when you're in the car.
You have a history of always needed a wee or a poo when you're driving.
I know, I always need one.
Always.
And it's awful.
You tell me though anyone, if you started needing a wee at like three o'clock and you were stuck, by five it's turned into a poo.
You can't just need a wee for that long.
It over time turns into you needing a poo as well.
I'm lucky because I'm a gentleman, so for me it's easier.
but I literally pull my car
into the high shoulder
and have a way between the doors
That's fine for you
You know what happens? It's a funny story
My mom happened similar yeah
What to me?
Yeah
And she couldn't hold it
We were driving to my grandma's
House in Portugal
Yeah
In the old days
There was no
A good motorway
She was like all like this
She couldn't hold it anymore
And my dad have to pull out
And my mom had to go in the high shoulder
But you know when you have the fence
and then you jump and it's a fill.
So she jumped and went kind of behind the bushes
and not cars, didn't see her, but she didn't check.
And when she bent down, it was the Nettles.
Oh, she stung herself.
So she stung herself in her part.
Oh, bless her.
It was hilarious.
That's the thing.
I don't care.
Your age, where you're from, your background at every...
Imagine after...
You've always had a near miss.
Having an itchy...
Ooh.
No.
From a stinger netzel, that's horrible, eh?
Oh, that makes me feel a bit better, though.
Yeah, there you go.
I'm glad it happened to your mum as well.
There you go.
That's where you get on.
Well, done, Esther.
I'm glad you nearly shat yourself too.
And I got a stang by Anadel.
This is called Lost in Translation
because as well as being lost in translation,
it's a no-judgment style podcast.
We listen to each other.
And we don't judge until maybe we get home
and then it's all hell breaks loose.
But we have games, we have polls,
we have all kinds.
In fact, the results are in from last.
week's lost in translation moment.
So you guys basically decide who's right in our debate.
We have a debate each week, something that's really annoyed us about each other.
Yeah.
And you guys decide who's won.
I'm annoyed already with these results.
I feel like these results are not fair.
Why?
You've won?
No.
Yeah.
Not you?
You've won.
Did it?
Yes.
10% agreed with me only.
These results are fair.
I'm very agree with them.
You were lost in translation reading that.
90% of you.
you agree with Gawker that me having my infrared heat-up mat in the bedroom is bad.
And only 10% of you agree with me that Gawker, instead of just ringing my mum when he needs something,
he messages me to message my mum to message me back to him.
No, no, I didn't ask you to message your mum.
I just ask you a question.
I never say, can you message your mum and ask this?
Anyway, but thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Someone on YouTube have said, I'm on Gokker's side all the way.
I hate a hot bedroom.
And they've also put great podcast guys.
Love your discussions.
Thank you.
But I'll greet with me.
That's nice.
Should we do it on to the debates this time?
And I must say, since we have that conversation, she stopped doing it,
and now she's doing it downstairs.
But the other day, I came back from the sauna,
and I found her in the same estate that she was in the bed,
but now in the sofa.
Yeah.
So imagine when I walk through from the sauna,
sweating and cold,
open the door and first thing I see
Gemma from the bottom
sat like this
yeah on my red light bed
you didn't want it on the bed I've done it on the sauna
not judging I'm just saying the
you're listening we don't judge
yes I was saying that you change it
really appreciate that thank you very much
it's very kind of you I don't want you're getting too hot
it's very kind of you thank you
should we move into the debate of this week
yes
you go first
me go first
I can go ahead of mind
I think you should go first
okay so my one is
it's regarding the fridge
The fridge
Yes
So
That I buy too much stuff
No
It's everything everywhere
So I don't know
It's because I grew up
And my mum and dad
I always the fridge
Very organized
And I pick up from there
Top row we have the yogurts
Then we have the fruits
Then we have the meat
The cheese and berries
Then we have the meats
And then it's the veg draw
That's the theory
That's what it is
No it's not
That's what
But it is when I put everything on the place.
So you're now because the fridge is untidy?
Yeah.
You can't even see inside the fridge.
Yeah, but at the time that I open the fridge and I'm going to get something, I'm like...
That's because of your height.
It's where is it?
Because you put everything everywhere.
Like she gets, for example, let's say it's what she says, yeah?
So we have the yogurts and then we have like the, like, for example, cheese and we have tomatoes and whatever.
Like, all the fruits, yeah?
So she gets the fruit.
to make a yogurt
and then the fruit
goes out here
so they're in a different
show
so then you end up
with a trade of blueberries
in every shell
a trade of tomatoes
in every shell
what it is as well
I like
Tupperware food
I hate it
when food's opened
you can tap it
and put back
without it being sealed
and you did learn your lesson
with that once
I was saying to you
for ages
you're putting chicken
breast back in the fridge
with it not sealed
you're going to get
paula
he's fine jemma
he's fine jemma
I always put it in a
in a bag
seal the bag
put the date on it.
That's perfect.
You ate chicken once, didn't you?
That hadn't been sealed
and you've got to give yourself food poisoning.
Yeah, but also it was three days after the date anyway.
Well.
But what I'm saying is,
don't try to turn this around to my fault.
I go poisoning because I didn't seal the chicken.
It doesn't matter what you tell me.
I know I'm going to win this debate today anyway.
She has one kifir on the bottom shell of the doria
where is the milks and the juice there.
Another bottle of kifir where is the yoghurt.
Kaffir is good for you?
Yeah, another bottle of kifir where is the vegetables.
Do you know what it is?
The one on the top shelf is.
is the one that's been opened, that's why.
Because they're all in the same package.
So I know to you it makes no sense.
But to me, the one that's the highest up is the one that I'd open recently.
So that's the one I need to drink.
If I have a shell on the door where you put the meals here, right to left,
the one that is open is the nearest one to the edge you can get it.
And then the next one moves in, sorry.
So you have a one here, and then the next one moves in.
And then the new one was at the end.
So every time that you move it, you have the empty one.
Have you seen the film sleeping with the enemy?
Yes.
Well, that's what it's like.
You with everything and all the cans and everything aren't right.
way we aren't round.
No, but it's just so we know where it's everything
because then what happens is where we go to the food shop,
oh, there is no blueberries, there is blueberries,
but they are on the bottom shelf because Jim are putting it on the round shell.
And then you end up with seven avocaros on the fridge.
Avocaros are good for you.
Do you want me to tell you mine?
Of course, go for it.
I know I'll win this week instantly.
Because you don't even know about this yet.
This is something I only know about this debate through Mia.
What?
Through our lovely little girl, Mia.
Okay.
While I was away, working,
she casually told me the other day,
oh, Mommy, you know the day when Ryan came round,
Ryan was our friend and stylist?
And I went, yeah, she went,
Papa thought we'd lost Benji.
And I went, what?
She said, Papa thought we'd lost Benji.
She said he was looking all over for him.
I was crying even.
No, when I went to show there.
He was in the gym.
When I went to show, Ryan,
I didn't thought I lost him.
It's when we went to show, Ryan, the new sauna.
Yeah.
Benji came with us, yeah?
And he went in the gym, and the builder was still working, remember?
So then on the way back, I thought he came back or run first, yeah?
Yeah.
And then I was like, what is Benji?
Like, he's not here.
And I thought, what is him?
Because I knew the gate was open.
Oh, the gate was open.
But no, the gate was close.
I thought the gate was open because he was working.
The gate was shot.
So I knew he didn't lost him.
And then Benji was in the sauna with the builder.
Well Mia said
Papa thought he lost him
Thanks Mia for brass me up
She said
There's no more Swedish for you coming from Spain
She said
I was crying
And she said
And Papa was worried looking for him
She was crying
Because I was on the sauna
With Ryan explained him
And he took more than 30 seconds
To come back
You know how is Mia
Well in my head
I thought
God if he's lost Benji
I will never lose Benji
I hope not
I lose you first
Then Benji
Yeah that's what I need to hear
I need that level of commitment
When it comes to taking care
of my dog
Benj is my number one.
Please don't lose him.
You've been dropped now.
The way Mia described it was that you were running up the street looking for him.
Well, you must know, Mia is half Spanish, so it's very dramatic.
So she is dramatic.
I still think I've won't, though, because when she told me, the fear that went through me.
No, you won't want, you.
You won't want that.
Losing a dog is worse than having an unorganized fridge.
But do you agree that you have everything everywhere on the fridge?
Yeah, but it's for a reason.
Like I say, it's for, I know what's been opened earlier.
There's no reason.
because if you have three, let's say, you have three trays of blueberries, yeah?
The one that has been open, the first one, you put it on top.
And you buy...
He should go in Tupperware.
He should go in a glass Tupperware.
Bo?
Blueberries.
They shouldn't just be left open.
Well, then you buy the glass Tupperware's.
Because the last Tupper was I bought, it was myself, and half of them I use to have nuts to
feed Brengie.
Sorry.
To feed Freddy.
Freddy.
We've got another pet, Freddy, the squirrel.
I bought a whole range of glass Tupperware's for all of that.
half of them are to feed the nuts and the bear food.
Freddie, I don't want him to have food with plastic in it.
You have this morning.
You know like that scene of home alone when the old lady is in New York
throwing the food for the pigeons.
That was you this morning and six in the morning in the frozen grass.
Yeah, because the first thing I genuinely said,
I said to Mia and to you,
but to Mia, just to kind of keep her in the loop with stuff,
she was like, it's freezing, mummy, the grounds rock hard.
And I said, I know, we have to help the dicky birds.
I said those robins that come in the morning
because the ground's so hard
they won't dig the worms
You like his Ventura?
Yeah
You know that scene of his Ventura?
And all the birds arrive.
That's you.
They did arrive.
They need help in the winter.
It's cold for them.
They can't dig up worms.
You've got to help them out.
So that's what we did this morning.
Anyway, who do you agree with you?
Do you agree with myself
and the fear of Gorka losing Benji
because I believe Mia?
No.
I was a six-year-old daughter.
Or do you agree with Gawker
with the messy?
fridge. Let us know
Lost in Translation at bowermedia.com.com
on the email or lost.com
on social media.
Shall we
solve another debate now? Well, it's
more of a dilemma. It's a Gawker and Gemma
dilemma. You guys get in touch
with us each week and
tell us something that you're having issues with
and we do our best to solve it for you.
We've solved quite a few of these actually. I'm quite proud.
This week's dilemma comes
from Karen.
Thank you for tuning in, Karen.
And she says,
her and a fella have been together
for 12 and a half years
after meeting at the supermarket
that they worked in.
Spending five of those years
living apart while I trained as a nurse
and he worked in the East Midlands.
So I really relate to the long-distance stuff
that you both talk about
and the trust.
Oh, that's good.
My darling is,
I am particular about the laundry.
Me too.
I separate my nurse uniforms
then the dark, then the whites, then the lights, and the towels, and the Norse softener.
My partner chucks everything together sometimes and forgets the softener.
So when I moan if he hasn't used the softener or separated it how I would,
his reply is that if I complain, I should do it all.
But then I get grumpy if the washing's overflowing,
or if he doesn't fold the dry cleaning and washing.
Happy debating my dilemma, Karen.
Karen, I'm with you.
I kind of feel like he's trying, and if he gets it wrong,
he gets told off.
And then if he says, well, you're trying once.
you do it then, he still gets stalled off.
I'm like your fella, Karen.
Do you know what? No, actually, I take that back.
I'm not... You're funny with washing.
Like her.
You get annoyed with the most ridiculous things.
Gorka won't let me wash his socks because he...
Because they're a white sock. They have to be soaked first in crystal.
White crystal powder before they go in the watch.
Why do you just hide your foot down?
Please lift that foot to the camera.
Why? What's up with it?
No, no.
What's up with that?
underneath the sock.
It's dirty, but I've been walking bare feet around the building.
Yeah, but it's dirty like that.
This is in the moment you put it on, 100%.
Who is going to look at this part of my foot throughout the day?
Yeah, but...
Ask yourself, are they matching today?
No.
This morning, yeah?
This one says, manifest that shit.
This morning, she goes, give you some new socks and tie them up and put them upstairs.
Belated birthday gift.
I went, I went to open my drawer, and she put all her socks in my drawer.
That was by accident
At least he did it in my one
And I said that's not here
I do my socks yeah
And it was an Adidas socks
Which I'm annoyed because I'm wearing nice shoes anyway
But
The fact that you have time to even make that
Make that adjustment in the mind
It's ridiculous
I would love that time
It's autopilot for me
It's like driving
You don't think about that
But I got the socks
So I do the sock
And when I put my sock
One was eyes inside out
And I put it on
It was Adidas
And then I have to flip the other one
And it was Adanola
So I just realized
I went to her, I was like, why is this sock in the eyes?
Because she followed them.
And she sees white and falls them white.
It's a sock.
It's not a sock.
They come in pairs.
I just don't understand the annoyance.
Maybe you should get with Karen.
Go over and Karen and do you washing together.
But that's why I do whites and it has to be whites.
Karen, I recommend you do like me.
What I do is say to Gemma, do know what's my clothes.
She does that, but he again says to her you might as well do it all.
Yeah, I do like me
I do it all
To be fair
He does his own washing
When I do the ironing
I only iron mine in the kids stuff
You won't let me iron any of his clothes
At all
You've not even given me a chance to iron it
I don't know
It's not a Jewish
Yes because I don't like to write on my clothes
You don't iron any stuff do you
No
I iron the kid stuff and mine
Because when I wash them
Once I take them out of the wash
I don't hug them
I really flick them properly
So they didn't get it straight
And then I hug them on a way
They when they dry
They won't need ironing
And then once I feel the eye is dry, I fold it properly and the fall way they won't have it like in shops.
So they doesn't have marks.
It is like.
And I steam if I need to.
This and the fridge is sleeping with the enemy.
And also another thing, you know what you did the other day?
Talking now, thank you for my medicare.
So that's another thing that she does.
She puts the washing and the dryer and then she forget about it.
So the other day, I was doing hour of family washing.
I didn't forget about it.
I had to go to work.
I didn't forget about it.
I went to work.
And when I came and it stopped the spin while I was at work.
That's not true because that washing, yeah.
So she went to work on Monday, yeah?
So that washing.
Looking for a drink on Tuesday.
I put three washings on Monday, yeah?
Right, three.
That's a lot.
And another two on Tuesday.
But it was all my travel clothes.
I didn't have to put them on the dryer, yeah?
So I know that washing wasn't on Monday.
That washing was from Sunday.
So on Tuesday, when I put the washing of the kids
and I went to take everything,
out of the washing to put it on the dryer.
I opened the dryer, and there was a full dryer, full of clothes that has been there since
Sunday because you put the washing and it's half job done.
You know, that's what we're talking the other day.
Oh, my goodness.
You forgot it and you left it there.
But I didn't forget it because I was playing video games or anything.
I forgot it because you know this last, I'd nearly crap myself this week, Gawker.
You were working on Sunday.
Give me some slack and I was working.
Okay.
I've been working every hour God sent, parenting, almost crap myself.
I would say Karen, just do your own, do everything yourself.
I get it with the nurse uniform.
If you're in it all day, and it's your work uniform, it needs to be...
On your own, yeah.
But thank you for getting in touch, Karen.
And good luck with your dilemma.
I do understand if it's your nurse uniform.
If it's your workout, it needs to be soft.
Yeah, I do get that.
Also, it depends, because if it's like dirty, it will ring your clothes too.
Here we go, see?
This is the thing.
Oh, my gosh.
We've got a game this week, but it's kind of a different game.
We had a nice little surprise from the producers today.
They asked us, it was Molly.
She asked me to send three pictures of me and you.
Three?
And you have to guess where those pictures are from.
That you took?
That any of us took.
Okay.
Just a moment in time captured.
Okay.
And do you remember where it was from and what we were doing?
I will say yes.
Do you want me to show you the first picture?
Yes.
I remember that.
I can tell you exactly the moment.
Where was it?
Look, that picture is...
For those listening on an audio, it's a picture of me and Gorker and he's your...
I'm grabbing her left breast.
Left breast, and I'm holding a ping pong bat.
Yes, I can tell you all the story about it.
That picture was taken in 2018 in the Birmingham Arena.
We were rehearsing the Tech Run for the Strictly Life Tour.
that was a lance break
who were playing around the table in Pimpon
and Neil Jones took that photo
Neil Jones did take this picture
Strictly's Neil took this picture
and I remember that hoodie you used to wear
all the time
Yeah the fleece one
Yeah
So yeah that was at the rehearsals for the Strictly tour
Oh I remember this
It was definitely before kids
Because look at my waist
That was when you
I came that was my first cruise
and last
with you
yeah my film
I'm not a fan
of cruise
I've got a bit
sick on a cruise
it was
you were doing a cruise
strictly cruise
with Diane
you were dancing
with Diane
and AJ Pritchard
was there
and Anthony Quinlan
my mate Quinny
from Holly Oaks
and Emmerdale
he came on it with us
and we got off
the cruise ship
and we went round
all different places
what is this place
let me join me again
it was the
cathedral
it wasn't
was it Barcelona
no
no Madrid
none
It was, it was one of them.
Madrid, you don't go with boat.
There's no sea.
There was a massive big cathedral, I remember that.
We went to Alicante, yes.
And we went to get a froyo.
Yeah, we went to the beach and we got a froyo.
Yeah, it was my first strictly cruise.
Huge frojo.
Yeah, I could smash one of them now, actually.
That was a good trip that, wasn't it?
Apart from the sickness and the sea.
Remember, I was doing rehearsals
You were on the cabin
You were like, no, I'm going to go for a coffee
And you sat with these all two ladies
They used to go to the cruise with the husbands
But they passed away
I met two ladies on it
And they wanted to still doing it
Because of their husbands
And I remember
Yeah, they used to go on a cruise every year
With the other halves
And this was their first cruise
Both as widows
And they were both together
Having a laugh on the cruise
And I was listening, thinking
How lovely it was
But at the same time thinking
Please don't throw up
because the boat was tipping so badly.
I don't know how you do that.
I don't know you lived on one of them.
Yeah.
The next picture, I will show you, I'll just show you this one.
You ready?
Oh.
Norman and Ollie.
Me, I wasn't born there yet, still.
We were pregnant.
And that was in the old house, isn't it?
I wasn't pregnant.
Yeah.
That was the first time you ever met Norman and Ollie.
Was it?
It was the very first time you ever met Norman and Olly.
So it was 2018.
Oh, wow.
And I remember I strictly said to you,
if they don't like you, you can't say.
If they don't like you, genuinely like it can't work.
Yeah.
And that was literally within 10 minutes of meeting you.
Look how chuff they were.
Bless them.
Oh, my cheeky boys.
I know.
They're so cute.
Norman and Olly.
But yeah, that was the first time you met them.
You passed the test.
Oh.
How funny with Pixar competitions with Norman and Ollie.
Oh, that's Norman and Ollie.
That's when you proposed.
Yes.
That's Tatton Park, isn't it?
That was just before I did it.
Because I had a poo bag in my hand when he proposed to me.
And you were moaning about like, how long?
I'm freezing here.
She wanted to go because I liked her.
He set up a drone.
And I said, I wanted to go there to fly my new drone.
And I was trying to fly the drone so the drone could record it.
The drone did record.
Yeah, he was flying a new drone.
so he told me and it went right up in the air so where none of us could see it but he'd put it on a
setting so that it just hovered and it captured it was going around captured gawker proposing to me
and what happens is as always I didn't check everything before I we left so it was fully charged
but always happens with the drones a bit of the right turn it on you have to update the firmware
so I have to update it and I was in the middle of the park with no service so it was
taking forever to download the service she was like okay freezing is very windy and it was
very windy because it was valentine's day and it was like almost snowing remember yeah and she was
just like that with the pullback in the hands me trying to fly the drone so windy the drone
wouldn't stay and she was already angry with me because in the morning she came with a valentine's car
and i didn't give her once she was like and i was like oh i thought we weren't doing valentines
and she was like well at least a car so she goes upset
because she didn't have a Valentine's car
and then I give her.
I love that Norman Olly were part of all that
because we've got that on the video.
But when he got down on one knee,
I turned round and I was holding...
Are you joking?
I was holding a poo bag that was wafting in the wind.
And you were going to do it earlier than Valentine's,
weren't you, but the ring wasn't made.
It wasn't ready.
And it was Gethyn Jones
who was helping him sort the ring
because Gethyn's a mate of ours.
And it all happened, it all aligned.
And I threw gritted teeth,
yes.
Last
bit,
I'm joking.
Last picture.
I love that picture.
That's 2019
when I did
the hospital.
We were waiting
to give birth
well, you were waiting
to give birth.
We were waiting
for you to give birth
to me and I was
sat there
came back from a show
that I was on two
at the time
and I was watching
Raphael Nadal
playing
Wimbledon final, yeah?
No, semi-final in Wimbledon.
And I was upset because I was going to miss it.
He was asleep while I was in labour,
and he says it's because he was tired from being on tour.
You were not having contractors,
you kind of like know you off.
I was in and out.
And I was saying, you're tired.
Forgive me trying to evacuate a human from my vagina.
Evacuate.
That was awful that.
And after all that time,
she was an emergency C-section anyway.
Bless her.
Good, but you see, you get the memories.
Last one.
Oh, that's in, is it Greece?
Yeah, it's Greece because we'd been hiking up a mountain in the background.
We went up a mountain in Greece and we stayed Agios or something.
Agios Nicolaeus, yeah.
And that holiday.
The goats.
Yeah, it was one of the best holidays.
We got attacked by wild goats because I invited them over to the.
car to try and feed them as you do in the mountains and he was like move move um we
locals chased us down on bikes because i accidentally knocked the wing mirror off one of the
cars as i drove past it and i was like just leave it it's fine but as soon as they heard our
accent they scouted didn't they they got off then so i think they were a bit dodge and the best part
of that holiday for me was that no we had a donut we went to the gym every morning and you got a
donut with every coffee, but we had a bit of a, do you remember?
Oh, the paddle thing?
We played tennis every day on that holiday, beach tennis, without fail.
And we got to the point where, again, it was like we have to get to 100 before we sunbathe.
We can't sunbathe until we get 100, a rally going of 100.
And it was so good because it was so hot that we used to go to the beach at like 7.30 in the morning.
And by then it goes like midday, it was very hot, so we used to go for breakfast at that time.
Yeah.
And we found a little coffee shop.
They make lovely breakfast.
And then with every ice ladder, they used to give us a sugar donut.
Yeah.
So it was amazing.
Perfect pre-workout.
And then we used to go to the gym and then go to the beach club and start there.
I remember.
I have so many videos.
We were doing snorkeling and everything.
I love the holidays.
Because we didn't have kids.
I know.
That was where we could holiday and come back feeling refreshed.
Yeah.
We can still do that even we have kids, you know.
I come back from any of our holidays feeling like I need a holiday.
No, but we can leave the kids with our parents.
My mom would love to be away with me and Tiago.
Yeah, I'm funny you see, I don't like putting them in kids clubs
And there's no judgment, judgment-free zone
Everyone does what they want to do
But like, it's just me with my panic
I'm always panicked that
Yeah, with that team now
Yeah, so I have them with us all the time on holidays
So we literally need a holiday when we get home
It's why all those like murder, crime
It's a documentary that she watches
I know, I go cycle somatic with everything
But that was a brilliant holiday
Yeah
And we'd get to around
of a hundred and then go right we can relax but sometimes we get to like 94 and gokker
drop it you'd miss one so we'd have to start again why you're blaming me because you know
I'm good at tennis I've got a good back on me yeah you can very good with balls I'm I'm I'm
I'm oh I am good at tennis though do you know what I mean but yeah that was that was a fun
