now you're a fellow brummie i am but i think you don't have one sniff of a brummie accent is there any words you say that is brummie i knew you were going to bring this up. So, you know what? When I was a child, I was a proper brummie. Were you? I've actually got a video of me making a fruitcake with my mum and my older brother. And my accent's like, I'm making a fruitcake. Like, I am a brummie. I may not sound it now. But I'll tell you why I think my accent's changed.

I do blame the internet yeah what i've always called like the internet hybrid accent i watch a lot of american stuff yeah all of my friends are in london yeah um so i think i've just lost my accent over the years but i think you have a gorgeous accent you have like a you could be a tv presenter accent and that's that that is a real big compliment from me well thank you but yeah you should hear my mom she's like brummie than you are she broad brummie is she yeah she's from west brummage oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah so yeah she would be she might even be heading towards a bit of the black country um but yeah proper proper broad so where did you grow up

in birmingham and so i grew up in um erdington which is like where i grew up when i was that little i grew up in erdington what did is like Where I grew up, when I was that little I grew up in Erdington, what, did we go to the same Primary school, and I've got this conversation I went to the Enton I went to the Enton and I was there till I was Eight and then I had to move And I ended up moving to a place called Four Oaks, which is very posh

Listeners, so posh It's so posh, I'm talking gated Pride streets and Houses that you could only dream of earning one day and all of the footballers live there and that kind of thing and i did not sit in there let me tell you you did but you were like a the queen of four oaks lovely absolutely not but yeah so i grew up in like urgingtongington, Sutton Coalfield as well. Wild green. Yeah, yeah. But yes, so grew up there with my mum and dad and my older brother.

And what year were you 14? 2004. 2004. So you're a little bit younger than me. And I have a feeling you'll be like at the era of like MSN and stuff like that, which I know nothing about. Yes. I think when I was 14, that was when MSN was coming to the end of its era. Oh, really?

It's really weird to think that we'd kind of done MSN and then we'd sent our last message and all that, which is a bit weird. But yeah, it was also MySpace era. Facebook had just started in 2004 as well which is probably the the beginning of my social media addiction i think the beginning of the end but yeah um as soon as i had the internet as a teen i was just hooked stuck on my computer and we still are today do you remember poking people on facebook i do yeah yeah. Yeah.

I make a roll of that stuff. Yeah, you just be like, poke. I used to get really annoyed with random people that were more like acquaintances poking me. I'm just like, that's a little weird and inappropriate. Can you stop poking me? Yeah, they. So we obviously went to the end turn. What kind of secondary school did you go to?

Was it mixed? What kind was it? So I went to a performing arts secondary school. I went to Arthur... In Birmingham? Where's that? In Four Oaks. Oh, lovely.

Yeah, it was called Arthur Terry. Yes, yes, I know. I will just put it out there. I hated secondary school. But yes, I went to Arthur Terry and actually, so the Weasley twins from Harry Potter were in the year above me, James and Arthur. My ass, I nearly had an asthma attack. And actually, so the Weasley twins from Harry Potter were in the year above me. Jane's in the year above me. Shut up, my ass.

I nearly had an asthma attack. I was like, oh. Yeah, so this was before I got like really into Harry Potter. But I remember like they were chat of the entire school. And I remember when they first, because they're natural brunettes. And I remember they had right or in tail one day in their sixth form jumpers. And I just remember being like, they're in Harry Potter. This is cool.

They're going to be thankful. Oh, my God. Little did you know your future love of Harry Potter. Well, no, I didn't. But I've obviously interviewed them. I think it was last year or the year before. And I reminded them. I took them a photograph of me in my school uniform. I was like just to break the ice guys and I showed them it and they were like

oh no way it's like same school like they had no idea but yeah so that's my claim so cool so you didn't particularly like school we've had a few people that didn't like secondary school because the thing is like teenage years are you sexual school. It ain't always great for everybody. No, I really hated school. In fact, I remember, and my mum knows this now, but at the time she did, I remember I would get ready in my school uniform. I had a shirt, I had a little green tie with blue stripes on it because I was in Gloucester house. Lovely.

Which is funny because Americans don't have, like, houses in school. They think it's just a Harry Potter thing, right? No, yeah, we had houses. Yeah, we all had houses. So yeah, I was in Gloucester and I put my little blazer on. My mum and dad would go to work. My brother would go to school. And as soon as they've left the house, I'd take it off and say,

I'm quite often that my attendance was really poor. Like, yeah, I hated school. I didn't like it i think i liked school until maybe the age of eight ish but then i had to move schools and movies yeah kind of tricky and kind of being the new kid and that kind of thing like a posher area shall we say that was not a posh if it's possible but yeah second floor just found what you just bought didn't like it and i've always said at this age now i would love to go back to school and actually pay attention and and just try and enjoy it a little bit did you did your parents get in trouble because

i don't know if back in the day people cared about attendance and stuff not like now a few phone calls home that said that i wasn't there so then it was like oh i didn't sell very well and all that but no i didn't like it definitely got bullied a lot i always think out with like all of the outcasts yeah yeah because i was one of them yeah um so didn't like it at all and yeah i don't really think very fun memories of that time not fun memories did you have some mates outside of school that you could kind of hang around with I had one best friend in school that I'm still friends with now um she's called Jess she's she lives in Canada now but she's one of those friends that if we were to go for a coffee tomorrow it would be like no time as fast oh I love I've got a few friends

like that I've got a friend called Sheila who I've known since I was 14 and I'm seeing her on Friday and it will be as if I just saw her like the last week. It's just, I love friends like that. Yeah, yeah. But she's a friend that's kind of just gone through my entire life, really. But apart from that, I don't have any contact with anyone from school on. But at all. Yeah, I still keep in touch with a few people.

I kind of ended up going out with a boy in the year below me. What do you call him? A cougar. Which probably, I think probably people did think was a bit weird. So I had some friends in the year below me and I've got one good friend, Katie, from my school year. So in the hierarchy, you were kind of like with the outcasts and stuff. But what was your bedroom like i had quite a small bedroom when i lived in forex so this is yeah when i was 14 i had this big round like vintage desk which i'd inherited from my granddad when he passed away and i was really annoyed like later in my teens or maybe early 20s that i'd like

ruined this desk because it was a really beautiful... It would have been a good for your Harry Potter room. That desk would have been... Tell me about it. It was a beautiful writing desk with all of these drawers that came out. It was brass-padded doors. It had a green plush kind of top with gold stuff on it. That's where the computer lived.

It's where I spent all my time. I had an old-fashioned tv the one in swiss like the aerial on top but i think that's because i couldn't afford much so i always had like stuff passed down to me so it wasn't a tv of the times like tvs had come on a bit since then i think uh i remember buying my first playstation 2 console as well i think there must have been better playstations at that point yeah i had like this wardrobe stuff used to didn't have too many posters up i don't think you have what kind of if you had a couple who was it was it boys was it programs films i had a gareth gates era

i definitely had all alone gareth gates he does them cruises now doesn't he i was we were talking about rogan I was watching Rogan's cruise oh he looked great he did and he had like very in fact

saw Gareth Gates in Spongebob he was playing Squidward oh wow he looked great he looked great so you had a

Gareth Gates era I'll tell you what I did used to have quite a lot of dream catchers with like the kind of embroidered dream catchers that hung out. I vividly remember having a purple one thinking that's going to catch all my bad dreams.

It's going to catch all the bad dreams. I'm such a vivid dreamer. It's a real like, I dream, I feel like I dream movies and I remember them every single night. And if I do forget them during the day or Sunday, as soon as i put my head on the pillow the following night it's almost like muscle memory the dream for the night before will come floating back and i haven't met too many people that this happens to even bad dreams yeah oh no i don't like that let's say i don't remember my dream from last night yeah today tonight i'll remember it you'll pick it up you mind mine's always about gary barlow yeah, so boys have this thing about dreams.

So yeah, definitely had dream catchers. Do you have a dream catcher now? No. I think it's one of those things that seem as inappropriate now, a dream catcher. Or I think maybe. I think it's a cultural appropriation. Yeah.

They still sell them. Well, they weren't back then. It was very much a cool thing to have in your bedroom. There was no appropriation then. It was just, it was all, everybody could do whatever they want. It was a very old, funny old time. Mr. Gareth Gates here. What are the music?

Did you like his music? A little bit at the time, you know. What did you sing? Oh, going on up to the spirit. You know this guy. That was it, wasn't it when i was like 14 my that's when avonabama's thing i was a skater girl oh yeah and he was a skater boy i remember going to a skate shop with my mom to get specific skate shoes i think they were called etnies

yeah um i bought my first deck as well it's like i never learned how to skate properly but i what's a deck what's a deck like a skateboard deck i thought you meant like like decks like to play music i'm not a dj um so taking your mom to buy your first pair of trainers is always what skaters would do yeah i just wanted to be really cool i think it's because my friend jess as well had a skateboard I was like yeah we could skate together but you know what that just reminded me we had our skateboards and we would go down the road but on our stomachs on the skateboard like yeah can you imagine how cool that was I bet the boys are like oh my god look at them girls oh trust me no boys

would look at me then did you ever wear like a little tie because she used to wear like tight little thin ties and stuff didn't she and loads of like eyeliner was that your vibe I definitely had an eyeliner thing to the point that this boy used to call me a goss and it's like it's just eyeliner and then years later they were all wearing it I'm just like well that's one of the go-to the go-to um kind of cusses yeah and I also i tell you what i used to get called at school as well you get called fish lips because i've got big like quite luscious lips oh they'd be killing for them lips now cherry this is what i'm saying like these days in the era of lip fillers and everything because i well i don't need lip fillers no who's laughing now who's

laughing now fish lips eh um isn't it interesting that you've got i say laughing and you say laughing i've been you think it'd be the other way around wouldn't it like i don't know it's laughing for me because laughing sounds like it should be posh laughing is probably for me yeah i wonder why i don't say laughing i wonder why there's one vocabulary word that is not... Do you say bath or bath? Well, don't say bath, no. So I can say either. You are multilingual.

Yeah, but it's part... That's all the options there are. Okay, so you're like Gareth. Do you remember when Gareth had an affair with Katie Price? Oh, yeah. Was that G gareth gate somebody let me know i'm sure gareth gates had an affair with a grown-up katie price and there was like pictures of him like coming out of a hotel room and everything well daddy kept up with the gossip that much but to me although she always also used to have an obsession with peter hey you're not the first on this podcast he's a popular choice I wanted to be his mysterious girl

and you know what he follows me on Twitter I don't use but he was one of my first like celebrity followers that I nearly

fainted who else do you have famous that follows you I like this game I like Finding Out Gordon Ramsay and um Josh Gad

that voices over that that's one for you because you like Disney people Cherry Josh Gad has he ever

sent you DMs no has he ever what's the film what's the character called Samantha I love them I had

Jackie Corkle from Brookside follow me the other day and i thought that was that was exciting not quite the same as jessica oh a little gordon ramsay wonder if they do do they all have harry potter then you think no i think it's just the the kind of magic of the blue tick like i've entered i know that i interacted with jobs a few times and then he followed me after that and I was like okay what a day yeah um Peter Andre did you like his chest um who didn't I used to love the documentary um series that I don't remember what it was called was it the Andres or something

no it wasn't that what was it wasn't it just Katie and Peter? It might have been something like that, but I was obsessed with that. So, yes. So good. Was quite obsessed with him. I was gutted when they split up, you know. I thought it was just such a real shame because I loved all the programs. I loved watching all the kids. I just thought it was like vlogs, wasn't it?

But just like on a TV show. But then I was like, there's a chance for me. Oh, sadly, he married that very pretty doctor didn't he yeah Emily I think her name is yeah she's very pretty okay so I think we've covered first crush Gareth Gates yeah yeah yeah you like the dark floppy mysterious girl you must have been quite little when mysterious girl came out surely probably yeah you liked him when he was went in the jungle yeah I feel like he had when he went in the jungle? Yeah.

I feel like he had little dreads in the jungle as well. Or was that Katie? Yeah, he did. Did Katie Price as well? They both did, didn't they? Or she had cornrows. They were that proud they'd met. They'd met because they both had dreads. Or they were in the jungle together.

Oh, yeah, they were, weren't they? Okay, so your biggest fashion faux pas. With the Fizz loyalty programme, you get rewarded just for having a mobile plan. You know, for texting and stuff.

I wasn't a fashionable teen or child for that matter. I think because most of my stuff was hand-me-downs

all from charity shops. I love a good charity shop, Ramesh. My mum would always love to take me around the charity shops, so most of my stuff was from there. But I remember vividly, and I do probably have a picture of this somewhere, which I could maybe take out for you, but I went to...

You're going to laugh at this. I went to this place called Gnome World. I don't know why i'm putting this out on the internet sounds brilliant i went to this place called gnome world it's down south somewhere with my family and there's a picture of me on a bright red like cement toadstool sat with my legs crossed with a little gnome hat on but i've got this t-shirt that's black that's got bright neon orange like edges and it says out of this world in like graffiti text it's got like alien at the bottom you were cool uh was i that's not what i would have called it ever change it to your profile picture now and you're like i'm sat on a toad's door you know what my dad my dad like haunts me like bullies me with this picture

anytime like he meets i don't know a boy that i'm dating yeah he's always whipped out this picture in fact he's also got a picture of me holding two lemons around young teens like 14 holding two lemons where my boobs going and he gets that out. He blackmails me with these two photographs, me as a gnome on a toadstool and me holding two lemons. I'm getting the lemon picture out. And he would have had to go and get that developed, surely. He's got it on the computer. It's his screensaver.

He's like, stand them and everything. I don't know. But, yeah, so I remember Alien 2, I used to wear a lot of jeans. Just jeans and T-shirts were like mum kind of vibe. I remember, going back to my old friend, my longest friend, Jess, her sister used to get rid of a lot of clothes. She'd have bin bags and be like,

oh, rifle through these. If there's anything you want, take it. So yeah, just interested with a lot of clothes that way and that kind of thing but i also remember getting very excited to go to places like tammy girl of course yeah which doesn't exist that was like new look back in the day wasn't it yeah tammy girl etam tammy girl um was cna still knocking about when you were young i don't think so yeah so we had cna um i mentioned this before in paris know, they've got a mall.

I think there's a Tammy girl in that, probably Disneyland Paris. Yes, out of town. Yeah, there's a Tammy girl there. Also remember bucket hats. Those were my jam. Erin's got loads of bucket hats. I think for a period of three days last year,

Erin loved a bucket hat, bought about 12. She never wears them now. I'll tell you something now they're just sat there my dad came back from my dad does motorbiking he does advanced motorcycling in like a little club and he went somewhere the other week

and he came back with a bucket hat that was fluffy with cow print and he bought it for me so at the end Erin's got that one you could be twinning with Erin

she's got a fluffy cow bucket hat twinning with erin she's got a fluffy cow bucket hat she's not got one she's got two she's got the one you're talking about and she's got a purple i'm whispering like she's here she's not even here she's got two and when she put them on we all had to go wow you look great i've got to say i'm a hat person as well. I suit hats. But that. Yeah, I think me and Erin need to go out and have a good day with our cow bucket hats on. It's winning with the cow bucket hats. Oh, gosh. But what else? Other fashion faux pas.

Do you remember hair crimpers? I do remember hair crimpers. And I'm kind of sad I got rid of mine. I had one where you could interchange. You could have thin or thick. And I feel the thick one now it might be quite handy and see i can use a barrel wave for now um today but um i feel like we need to bring the the thin crimping back because it almost looked like your hair was made out of feathers and so yeah like real 80s and also it was really easy to do and then i don't

think i did the back i don't think I made it. I think it's just the front and then I'll be like, what did you have then that you would still wear today? Probably some of my jewellery bits. In fact, I'll tell you something that I wear today that I wore a lot as a kid, those butterfly clips. Yeah. The tiny little ones.

I started wearing those quite a lot at the top, like each side at the top of my hand. And I just feel that like i've got to an age where it's like i want to wear what makes me happy gone were the days of caring what other people think about how i'm dressed like i remember as a teen i wouldn't leave the house without makeup or what if people from school see me looking like yeah like hair in a bun and you know no makeup i, I think. So I'd always do that.

But it gets better when you get older because I'll happily go to Sainsbury's with my suspenders and my pyjamas now. Like ones that look like you can wear them out the house and with my hair in a bun. Oh, it's such a joy. In fact, people on the internet get surprised if I look slightly nice. They're so used to me seeing like just bare face in my pajamas i could just put

like a tiny bit of mascara oh you look lovely today you've really made an effort so nothing gets a little bit like that with me in like my home vlogs because i tend not to wear as much makeup as i do in like my studio videos on youtube where i'll do like full hair yeah you look gorgeous in those it takes like like, people are like, how long does it take to get on in? Like two plus hours before getting in the studio. And then do you film like several videos with the same makeup?

Yes. Yeah, I will. Oh, I'm telling you my trade secrets here. Sometimes I will interchange like my glasses or my outfits and I'll film like up to three videos in one filming day. I need to start thinking of doing stuff like that. The thing is my videos, I'm always just in Poundland.

So it doesn't really make that much difference. Swap the top, go to B&M. Swap the top, pop into Home Bargain. Swap the top, I'm in Costco. So favourite, I'd like to hear favourite TV shows. I recently did a podcast with my sister about TV shows. I want to hear what your favourite kids TV was. I know that's going off script, but I'm interested.

Oh, that's okay. I remember a show called Round the Twist. Do you, Evan? Ever felt like... You know, they only made one series. Felt like a lot longer, you know. It's because they just repeated them continuously forever. Do you remember a show?

I've asked people this over the years. Go on. No one remembers it, but it is out there. I think it might even be on Amazon now. A it always used to be on channel signs and it was called the tribe i do remember the tribe and it had a really famous person that grew up to be famous i don't remember the famous person but i remember it was about um because i started watching i started watching this again in 2020 which is appropriate because it was about a worldwide, like, pandemic virus that wiped out all of the adults and it was just kids left.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And they all went and lived in, like, malls and stuff and had, like, games. Didn't it have Heath Ledger in it? I feel like it had Heath Ledger in it. I'm not sure if it did, but... Because he was New Zealand, eh? It's a New Zealand programme, I do remember. But I was obsessed with the tribe.

Also liked things like old neighbors of course oh i was just so good as soon as i get home from school stick neighbors on and simpson after that when did you stop watching neighbors i remember a character called sky came in at the list of harold and then you were like i'm out i really thanks to someone that was in um neighbors i think his real name in real life is called jesse spencer but it was called billy in neighbors do you remember any blondes cherry there's not a woman listened to this podcast that didn't fancy from neighbors he had flop blonde hair, which as of doing many of these podcasts, seemed to be the main criteria for anybody to fancy anybody. Floppy blonde hair.

Yes, check. Yes, he was gorgeous. Which is weird because I'm not really into blondes. No, well, your Peter Andre and your Gareth Gates suggest you not. Yeah, definitely. But Billy, no one could. I'm just going to say Leonardo DiCaprio. Was he in there as well?

Yeah, he was in there, Sean. Yep. Would you go out? Okay, right. There's a door behind you. There's a knock at the door, right? The door opens. Who would you want standing there?

Gareth Gates, Peter Andre, Leonardo DiCaprio, or Billy from Neighbours? It's between Leo and Peter Andre. Peter Andre. Peter Andre then or Peter Andre now? Peter Andre. Peter Andre. Peter Andre then or Peter Andre now? Peter Andre now, probably. In a suit. Would your heart flutter?

At Peter Andre? Yeah. No, but I'll tell you who it would flutter at. Ian Somerhalder from The Vampire Diaries, who plays Damon. In a tux. Yeah. In a tux with a box of chocolates. You'd be like, oh.

Wouldn't it just be a joy if there's a little, could you imagine if this was a big ploy and you're really on an Ant and Dex show now. And Peter Andre's behind the door and you're like, I didn't want to. He's actually slowly just walking away now because he's so disappointed. Okay, so TV shows.

Right, I want to hear about your first smug. Myself smug. Oh, Emma, I cringe at this. I don't even think I've told the internet this story. So this is like... Everybody buckle in. I remember my first kiss. It was when I was 15, I think, or 14 or 15.

Do you remember in May Green? They still look like a community centre thing there. And back at school, they used to be like this, it wasn't a club because obviously we were early teens, but it was called like G's to make it sound a bit cooler. It was like a disco that happens like every other week or something. Obviously there was no alcohol or anything. No. But I'm sure some people i'm sure i was going no

but i was thinking they're having all having mad dog i was gonna say i was there with my wk blue wkd um and um yeah i just remember this guy that i didn't really know he went to the same school as me and we had had some wkds it was like one of my first experiences with alcohol so like two of those are very oh that's it you're off your face as a 15 year old girl for sure and yeah just remember this sounds so cringe there's like um a little park next to it and I remember we left them geese and I just remember this guy called Sam I don't't share his surname, but it was called Sam. He'll be listening. Sam, if you're listening, this is her.

And I wasn't even that attracted to him. I think I was just experiencing the joys of alcohol. Anyway, we kissed and I remember vividly that I remember thinking, you know what I could do with her right now? Like a really big burger from a burger van whilst we were kissing. And I was just like, that is the least romantic thing that has ever happened to me we've had somebody who i think had eaten or had kissed me and they tasted a burger maybe you should have kissed that no but i tell you what it was awkward at school for the next few months

with him knocking around at all because like we didn't speak of it. Did you ever see, have you ever seen him in adult life? Has he ever poked you on Facebook? No, no. I don't live in Birmingham anymore. So even when I did now, I hadn't seen him. Do you think it was just a let's get this out of the way kind of thing? Yeah, I think it was like, I know that some of my peers at the time had definitely had their first kiss and I hadn't.

So I was just like, oh, might as well. I've had a bottle now. Yeah, like one percent oh yeah like pop on the um podcast i think there's only been one nice first kiss everybody's has been slopping it's just no i've had plenty of nice kisses since but oh that's nice to know sherry i hope so because you're not going to hurt the age of 33 okay a lot of frogs here's a lot of frogs i'm glad you've had a few nice kisses um if you could go back to cherry then what would you tell her and i don't think i would tell her that much you know i am one of these people that believes in everything that you've been through and experience making sure who you are today yeah but there's like a one piece of advice that someone did tell me like way back when yeah it was to do with like bullies and stuff

and it was something along the lines of don't give them the reaction that they're expecting and I see lived with that in my head forever and it it's triggered see I'm struggling because I've just done a big rant on my stories about men telling me to lose weight I should have took the higher I should have the moral high ground and ignored them but I'm not very good at that sometimes different circumstances I think for that these men needed to be ranted about because I don't think it's a very nice thing to go around messaging people. No, I think it's very good advice. Yeah, I think like if anyone's like being bullied and stuff like, and also you're not going to know these people for the rest of your life.

So I think that's something I'd probably tell myself back then. It's like when you're older and an adult, you're not going to know any of these people. You're going to forget their names, forget their faces and all that kind of thing. But yeah, I think in the grand scheme of things, like don't try to sit in either. Be yourself. I love that. I would have gone back and whispered, Cherry, go and get a picture with them twins. Yeah, that would be a great one.

Just go and get a quick piccy. And then that would be really good for social media. Can I be in the next Harry Potter? Can you introduce me to the producers? That would have been a little... But then that might have changed the whole trajectory of your life. The Harry Potter franchise, it all could have been completely different. So lucky perhaps that didn't happen.

Okay, are you glad you were a teenager then or do you wish you were a teenager now? Oh my God, I was a teenager then. Even though like, I think every teenager has their hardships, but I wouldn't want to be a teenager now. Like the peak of social media age. Yeah. Because like when I was 14, like social media was definitely a thing,

whether they were saying everything, but it wasn't what it is today. Like I feel like it's turned into this massive, oh, like, I i mean it's more than massive and i think yeah it wasn't the monster it is now and i think bullying and that kind of thing could probably be a lot worse now with you know snapchat and everything being saved and people filming things on their phone i couldn't think worse than being in a playground with someone filming me being picked on or something and then yeah i think yeah it does make me worry

a little bit for today's generations and how it is as a parent of a tween it is a hard thing you just want to like rat them up and call and you know they're going to get a phone like there's no there's no way around it there's just no way around it at some point when they go to second school you're gonna have to give them a phone just for safety yeah i think i got my first phone when i was 13 inch yeah it's just terrible and you just have to like negotiate your ways for these and like oh but i will say um that the younger people are a bit more adaptable to it. They're a bit more used to it because they've been on tablets since they were little and they know how to work a computer and they're doing all this, that and the other.

We're evolving. We're evolving into computer monsters. Well, thanks so very much for coming on the podcast. I really want you to go and get the picture for me with the gnome, you as a gnome.
