Okay. We just had a chat and um the year you were 14 was 1997 so i've got a couple of questions for you oh my word and also 1997 that was a long time ago when i when i was thinking what year it was i was like what on earth it's not as long ago as when i was 14 so we're all right okay what do you think first of all was the highest grossing film in 1997 oh my goodness um right hang on i'm gonna have to think back now so i'm gonna give you a point if you get any in the top four there's no points for nothing there's it means nothing but It means nothing, but.

Because I'm trying to think what came out when. I know I remember going to see Titanic at the cinema about five times. Okay. It's not Titanic. No, it's not. Because that was probably 1998. Okay. I'm going to give you a clue.

I'm going to need one. I'm trying to think. It involved a song and there was a bit of a strip routine in it oh my goodness okay a bit of a strip routine people at home will be shouting i'm sure they will be i mean my memory is the worst okay if i went imagine somebody an older gentleman, take it off his hat. Oh, The Full Monty. Yay!

Number one was The Full Monty. Number two was Men in Black. Absolute classic film. Number three was The Lost World, Jurassic Park. And number four was 101 Dalmatians. I mean, what does that say, though, about people that that was the highest? It says we all like to see

men bopping around stripping slightly was there any Robert Carlyle was in it wasn't it you can leave your hair that's a great film it was like funny it wasn't like a magic mic situation like it was funny yeah it was funny it was great okay now're going to take a solid. I'm going to, this is a clue. Solemn for what was number one in 1997. The mood is solemn. It's sad. Sad. I'm trying not to giggle, which is terrible because it is ever so sad.

Is it? Is it like really bad? It's a really sad song. And the nation was sad. Oh, not Candle in the Wind. Candle in the Wind, you got it. Candle in the Wind. Yeah.

And the Sink About the Way, yeah, 1997. Of course, yeah. Oh my gosh, no, that's very sad. Where were you when you heard that Princess Di had died? I remember, everyone remembers where they were. I was actually staying with my auntie and uncle and I was helping to look after one of the babies in the family. It was a bit unwell at the time and I'd been drafted in as just the physical labour to be like helping, looking after. And the age that I was at, can you imagine me looking after a nine month old baby, a teenager? It was like the best contraception known to the man.

I was there like, you know, going around as a teenage mum. But no, it was, yeah, I remember that's where I was. And I got up in the morning and my uncle was like, oh my gosh, you won't believe what's happened. And yeah, everybody remembers where they were. I was at home and it came up on the news. I previously thought I was with a boyfriend, but I thought about this a bit more.

I think that was when somebody else died and I was shocked. But this one, I was at home and I saw it on the news and I ran into my sister and I said, Princess dies, died. And she sat bolt upright and started crying

and she thought I'd said Madonna had died. So she was, how did she hear that? Princess dies, died, Madonna's died. I don't know died so she was how did you hear that princess dies died Madonna's died I don't know but she was like not Madonna no and I was like no not Madonna no it is weird how like certain things you absolutely remember exactly where you were like I can't remember what I did last week most of the time but there's certain things like that you would just always always remember that and it was such a weird, I don't think my kids can really understand. Like the nation was just absolutely like shell shocked.

It was crazy. I think everything sort of came to a bit of a standstill and people would genuinely like, it was full grief, wasn't it? It was like, remember it, it was crazy. I remember in Pigeon Park which is a place in Birmingham the church there opened up like um a book you could sign messages and I went in my friends and like god knows what I wrote on that little little message but I wrote

a little message oh it was it was it was it's not happy time so we've gone from the full Monty it's a candle in the wind very different very very different range of emotions there yeah very very different vibes okay so you're 14 in 1997 where did you grow up and what was on your bedroom so I grew up in a fairly small town so it's definitely small small town small tiny tiny little primary school that I went to and a pretty like small secondary school as well actually so and I'm trying to think like growing up um before I was 14 so take that I went to and a pretty like small secondary school as well actually so and I'm trying to think like growing up um before I was 14 so take that I'm trying to remember they they became big when I was in primary school so I would have still been in primary then so my bedroom was

wall to wall take that so I did not know this about you yeah I know this about you do you still love them now of course of course i mean obviously if you love them you love them now end of story there's no like going off it um so my bedroom was literally shout magazine and like sugar i think was another one they used to have take that posters every single issue so all of them were plastered all over the walls i had a take that pencil case set you know like little ruler pencil all of that had that as well um in my body shop pencil case oh sobs every tin pencil everyone had one of them um who was your favorite member because if your favorite

member was Gary as well I'm gonna have to end the podcast because you can't okay that's all right because if you're gonna say Gary you really couldn't have the same favorite member as your friends oh no no you can't you can't no mark mark was my i was the only one who who had mark as my favorite or my friend no work because i thought he was like up there yeah i guess he was my fave um but actually funny story just to fast forward a little bit although I was so excited by this a family member probably about it was about 10 years ago now they work in the NHS yeah they were like you won't believe came in today and I don't think he was just full disclosure not like talking about things I shouldn't I don't think he was getting anything done but it was Mark it was Mark and I was like how did you get to see him in person I'm just absolutely jealous if there

was a little knock at your door open it Mark Owen's there and he's had his hair cut and everything now oh I know don't what would you do would you would your heart flutter I don't know what I'd do I'd probably just say something completely ridiculous or embarrassing there's a there's a certain few people who if I met them in person I just don't quite know what I would be like is the other person I absolutely absolutely love is Celine Dion I love her I absolutely obsessed I used to listen to her album growing up all the time as well and I just think she's great and I think her personality is amazing and everything if I met her in person I feel like I'd just be mute and I can talk for England so I don't know what I'd say I feel like that about Madonna and also Madonna if you're listening and

Celine if you're listening I do apologize you can't you don't know if they're going to be nice or not I don't know I think Celine would be nicer than Madonna but I do worry if I met Madonna she wouldn't be very nice to me then it would upset me they say never meet your idols it could absolutely crush you so maybe I'm hoping Mark doesn't come to my door because it might be a flop and a disappointment. Yeah, I have met Mark Owen

but this was a long time ago and he was very sweet. FanDuel Casino Daily Jackpots guaranteed to hit by 11pm with your chance at the number one feeling winning which beats even the 27th

I met him in his heyday.

I don't think you, I used to sit outside hotels. I met him at the Copthorn, Maryhill, and we waited and he came out and he was gorgeous. Oh, I love him. He was gorgeous. I've met all of them apart from, I've collected them like Pokemon over the years. I've met them all apart from Howard properly, but I'm not that bothered because Howard said some ropey stuff not that long ago. So I'm happy, I'm happy not to have met him.

But the others, even Jason, even Mysterious Jason, I've met them all. Yeah. So they were like my, my kind of first bedroom decor absolutely all over the place I did eventually take all that down though because as I got like older into my teenage listeners listeners you can't see she's still got them up Emma can see behind me and she's like this is a lie it's still there but there was kind of a the era that I kind of then when I went into my like secondary school years it was then you wanted to decorate your bedroom nice then so it was gone with the the take that posters and um I think everyone had like the zigzag bedding yeah in various different shades

mine was like pastel and um and then you buy a little bit to be I never had the um like inflatable chair era that never happened I just I wanted it like nice and um I had a rowing machine I was quite into my um I had an exercise I had an exercise bike actually yeah when I was like 14 15 yeah we had an exercise bike I bet I do you know what bet mom and dad has still got it I bet my mom and dad have still got that exercise bike knocking about somewhere yeah um I had an exercise bike I bet I do you know what bet mum and dad has still got it I bet my mum and dad have still got that exercise bike knocking about somewhere yeah um I had an exercise bike um I think we were I did a few exercise videos I had videos that I'd pop in the old Jane Fonda kind of stuff and I did a lot of sit-ups I remember I can't relate to any of that now because I wouldn't do none of it I used to do my I used to do my row machine sit-ups I think everyone did that and um Rosemary Connolly was the literally it had a yellow cover and I used to do first I

had it on VHS and then I upgraded and got it on DVD and that was what I used to use to get in shape I mean there was no no one went to the gym or did anything of that description and if you weren't sporty at school which I was not um it was it was all about the the fitness dvd but it was either like Jane Fonda or Rosemary Connolly that was there was me my sister had which is so niche and I don't I don't imagine one single other person had this and there's a character a neighbor's called Kimberly and we had her exercise video um which was great everyone had one everyone had one didn't they back in the day and you just do it and rewind it and do it and rewind it it's yeah because in the blooming 90s you got everything it was like heroin chic everybody was saying it just had to be really

skinny it was a very i mean i suppose it's like now isn't it i'd like to think now is a little bit more positive body positive in the 90s oh it absolutely I absolutely think it is definitely but you know it's it's it's like a different like era though isn't it and you do worry for like you don't you can't get into the heads of teenagers fully when you're like 40 because they'll tell you that they're like oh you don't know anything but um that that sort of era it was like really really like you had to try and be skinny didn't you it was it was it's it sort of goes in in phases but I think I do think now there's a lot more body positivity which is is absolutely a good thing because you don't want to

yeah but I do I think it I think it's just going to be forever you still get these crazy like fad diets and things on Instagram like yeah. I got an email the other day for a menopause. You know when you're 46 and you're getting an email for a menopause makeover, which was like a full tummy. It was like a stomach removal. It was like a full, it was like a full, there was pictures, like a full stomach with it.

And it said something like, you need to act fast because your time it's going the longer you leave it the work the worst is gonna get and I was just like deleted it and I had a bag of mini eggs it's like shove your menopause makeover up your bum doctor man right okay so you like take that where the music did you like so I love take that my rewinding a little bit though into the even earlier kind of may oh no we're going to be in the 80s here not just the 90s so my first ever cassette tapes that I had were Jason Donovan's album and Kylie Minogue so Kylie and Jason absolute light top and Jason, absolute light top. And Jason Donovan was my first crush. Oh, he's gorgeous.

Because, I mean, who wouldn't? Well, I recently, for my 40th birthday, went on a Butlins weekend. Those, like, 80s weekends. And Jason was there performing. And I was literally just, I was like, this is the best thing ever. I love him. And I've seen him a couple of times performing. And he is still, like, hilarious hilarious Did he sing Sealed With A Kiss

because that is one of my favourites He did and obviously Too Many Broken Hearts as well Ten Good Reasons All of those but he's hilarious now though because obviously back in the day you're trying to like do your thing and have your image and stuff he just does not care now

he's hysterical like he's half the time you just don't know what he's going to come out with but he's still such an amazing like his performances are great so that kiss is what they played when we left primary school you know they always play a sad song when you leave primary school like yeah to really like make you feel like this is the end of your life but you literally just leave in primary school and it's gonna be a long we're all just sat in the hall especially for you as well, Kylie and Jason, like the ultimate dream. Like you imagined one day that when you get a boyfriend,

it's going to be like Kylie and Jason vibes. And she still wants them to be together. Part of me thinks. Everybody does. We're rooting for it still. Kylie and Jason. Jason, I think you're married with children. And I'm still rooting for you to be together let we can do it we can do it nursing homes and stuff

it could have it could still happen one day it could still happen it could be the love story that would save the world it would that actually would save the world legitimately like I think she she performed this is going back quite a few years, in Hyde Park or something. She was doing a concert and she started doing Especially For You and they had not performed together in literally years. He came out and I've never seen a response like it. People were actually losing their minds that he walked out. And I've watched that video on YouTube more times than I am prepared to admit.

It's not too late. Let's start a petition I believe it I believe it in my in in my like very core that it could happen still but yeah okay where were you in the hierarchy of school uh so in primary school I it was a tiny tiny little like C of E school that I went to. So there were not many kids at all. So I felt like, you know, kind of big, big fish in a small pond there. Then I went to secondary. And even though that was even still really small, that to me felt then like, you know, definitely like big pond then. And I didn't really know where I was like year seven and eight but as I got kind of later into um school it was there weren't very many of us like there were 90 kids in our year

90 or 100 ish that was it yeah I think the the ratio of boys to girls as well it was like you know 60 boys and only so there were not very many of us and everyone knew everybody for that reason so yeah I guess I had like a good solid group of uh group of friends I was the one who just did not give a crap I was always late so afternoon registration was like beginning and you could hear the bell and I'm strolling in with like a can of Dr Pepper coming back from lunch um because I don't know the kids allowed to like wander off at lunchtime at school anymore no you i mean perhaps in the sixth form but um no not at secondary schools when i was like at lunchtime did you do you stay in primary school so primary no but secondary you could just go you could do what you like at lunchtime so i used to go home and then wander back but i'd just come wandering back late be late in the mornings and i was on like lateness lateness watch or whatever it was if you do it too many times I was now if you don't watch now this is

all making sense to me because your vlogs often start with you going well I've had a bit of a late morning 10 o'clock I'm just gonna go off to go and get the bus now this is all making sense to me yeah I am not I'm not one of those people who's like moody in the mornings ever I'm not like that but I can't get going it is a severely major problem for me and I used to work um in the NHS and I used to have to get up at six that feels like the middle of the night to me I don't even know what is going on that's normal for a lot of people but I was the same I was the same in school I was the same like I just it's in me to to be late the only thing is I'm not ever late for anything

important no school wasn't important yeah like I would not want word to get around no school wasn't but anything actually important like so I would like I would like to make it known that I was not late for for our our call I know you weren't late you were there she's there looking like an absolute legend with beautiful hair and if I got a dentist appointment or some like if it's someone else's time like that I'm never late because I feel like I've got to be I've got to be on my game then but if I'm just doing whatever and it doesn't matter if I'm late then I am always late I would have thought you were so cool being late walking because the the the cool girl to me is somebody who's not only late, but then takes the time to get a drink. Yeah, I remember being at university and a girl walking in and we were friends for so long.

She not only was late, she'd gone to get herself a coffee. That to me is cool. It would it would be a running joke. And actually, I'm still friends with a lot of people from school they might be listening to this and it became a standing joke so my um like form room looked out onto the school gates the bell would go and then I would be wandering through with my Dr Pepper with a straw every single day and I wouldn't even walk quickly I'd just saunter in get a really nasty look from my form tutor and I just didn't care in my head you're Rizzo from Greece yeah that was me I just I know it's really really awful and I actually did start to get in trouble a little bit not so much for that but in the mornings like in my last year of school I would roll in at like half nine ten o'clock at times I love always with some different excuse

and in the end I did get hauled in and they were like you know you've got to pack this in now this is not okay so I pack it in classic 90s yeah pack it in I said to my kids I'm packing it in okay so we've worked out what music you're into what your bedroom was like um so Jason Donovan was your first crush yeah I mean it was in primary so it depends what we because obviously first crush you know but if we're talking first like major one that was a bit later on obviously yeah was that Mark Owen or is there anybody else you really had the hots for Mark was my favorite I mean in terms of like celebrity crushes yeah it went from like Jason to to then then like Mark when I was in secondary school I don't know who then i started fancying actual real people real people yeah so i mean i did have a little crush on a lad at school

in primary and i still to this day because i'm this kind of person who keeps everything like and i mean everything like sentimental i have got a valentine's card he gave me when i was 10 and do you remember like in in the like 80s and 90s where cards had like something cutesy and they've got that real 80s 90s look it's them and it says to my girlfriend on it and I was 10 still got it I never got a valentine's card I'm so envious oh did he have floppy hair um so back then no it had the floppy hair era hadn't quite emerged yet because it was like the curtain hair that was very much when i just got to secondary it started with the curtain hair and i don't know if this other era that happened when i was in second

school which it makes literally thinking about it makes me want to laugh so hard all the lads had um shaved hair right up into the top and then they had a perm on top oh a little perm do you know the perm is back the perm is back one of um my son's friend's got a perm my son's friend's got a perm the perm is back the perm is back um yeah that seems to be a bit of a thing um nowadays the lads as well so they had an earring earring and shade the shaved hair with a little perm on top i think that sounds like a nice look i say bring it back when steven gets in tonight i'll be like get a perm and get an earring and he'd be like what are you talking about you've lost your mic and he's got a little bald patch

i don't really know how he'd have to get also get like a hair transplant and have some sort of extensions um I love a floppy hair no it's it's a weird it was a weird look when it first started but then I think us girls you know there weren't very many of us there were a lot of boys we were like we're gonna have to start liking this because this is the it's just what it is it was forced upon you did you like um any other kind of music like in the blur of the oasis fight which side were you on okay so yeah so I think got a little bit later in school I remember when I was with my first boyfriend so I was what like 15 16 then it was Travis I remember that Travis yeah loved Travis um absolutely loved that like I remember like snogging to that I distinctly like remember

that and um Oasis loved loved loved and one of still to this day one of my greatest greatest memories um me and my friend Ben when I was 16 we went to London and saw Oasis at old Wembley Stadium before it was gone and it was just one of the greatest days ever it was a bit scary because we were in like the standing bit I was only 16 and it was just one of the greatest days ever it was a bit scary because we were in like the standing bit I was only 16 and it was just full of like these older like mainly guys and actually on YouTube I've discovered that particular date and concert that I was at is on YouTube oh nice because in those days you wouldn't have had phones no to take um there would be no footage in last week's podcast I spoke about that I was in a

wonder stuff video and since the podcast um I found the video on YouTube and never seen it before and there's not one phone up there's not like everybody's just enjoying it and singing it and I kind of miss those times now you'd be like filming it wouldn't you be like filming or you're waiting for them to come on you film it and yeah no me and ben would like in in the moment absolutely loved it it was amazing and um yeah so i was an oasis how about you are you like blur always uh we haven't had one single person who said blur it's not weird and the whole podcast how did they win i don't understand it i feel i demand a recount yeah i mean i just didn't care about them at all but oasis was like definitely the what's your favorite song oh my god I don't know I'm actually going to see Liam Gallagher with Stephen in a few weeks where they sing where he's singing the Definitely Maybe album I think in order that'll be good I don't

know what my favorite song is there's so many um I did like I did have the Blur album and I did really fancy Damon Albarn he was nice he was nice he was yeah I also fancied Liam Gallagher's I had posters of both of them um yeah I don't know what my favorite song is Stephen just loves Oasis I think all men in their 40s love Oasis they don't know like mine is a bit of a niche one actually mine's master plan that's my favorite how does it go i mean i'm not singing it you're gonna have to after this you're gonna have to or anyone listening if they don't know go and listen to it yeah i do i do know but i can't remember how it goes i'll i'll after i've listened pause the podcast listen to master plan yeah back to the podcast and then you'll know but i can't sing it though because that's

no one will ever listen to your podcast again. All their ears will just burn up. Okay. What's your biggest fashion faux pas? You're a very stylish lady. I'm interested. You would not eat. I mean, if you could see what I'm wearing now.

You look great. I'm wearing like the loudest hoodie with Disney snacks. But Ariel, hey, you look gorgeous. But my fashion, I was always way out there with what i would wear and there's a couple that come to mind massively so i had a dress um i used to go to under 16s club night so yeah i don't know if they don't still have that like i don't think they still have that anymore and it's a shame because they were bloody great I saw Alan and Deca PJ and Duncan were at one I just loved it we the local radio station oh you go there and they'd like three singles or whatever and you'd be like oh god but that was your like your social calendar at school revolved around like the under 16s club

night and some kids were about to go so they were always really annoyed um but yeah I had this dress that basically looked like tinfoil it was from Bay Trading Company oh yeah my classic and it literally was like shiny as tinfoil um and it was a dress and my mum a lot of people will know this if they watch my vlogs is amazing at sewing oh so good yeah so she still makes me stuff to this day she just um I decided sorry and asked her I wanted it as a two-piece instead so this tinfoil dress then became a little crop top and skirt and now I look back on it I could it was just like the worst thing ever it's giving posh spice I think it was like a boob tube top I feel like it's giving posh spice it's so funny you say that because my absolute total style icon towards like the last

couple years at school was victoria beckham everything well i had the hair if you can believe it the really really short hair you would not imagine that on me now um i had that as well and the other thing the other terrible faux pas in about 1998 or 1999 there was a little phase of a dress that was like open at the front and you wore hot pants under it I don't know if anybody was was in that era you had that sounds brilliant what would you have on your feet so like massive heels and that but the dress was as short as the hot pants so you were effectively barely wearing any clothes and then off we'd go to under 16s club night and I had a black one and Lisa had a purple one oh lovely I bet you look great and we were just like living

on it we we probably thought we looked absolutely like you know this is the best outfit ever now if I was to take a look at myself wearing I'm glad there's no no there was no photos and phones really because oh god no I wouldn't be able to unsee it if I saw it now but did you go to any actual clubs before you were 18 or pubs or bars or stuff I did it's a safe space we've all we all did I did I kind of started earlier than I should the one thing about me when I was a teenager if anybody wants to kind of get the full idea of what I was like aside from the lateness um I started kind of going out drinking with my brother's friends even my brother didn't used to go out he sort of started

all that bit later on when I was 15 the later part when I was 15 and because I lived in a small town and it was like 1998 99 whatever it was nowhere cared they would serve you drinks when you were quite clearly 15 16 year old kids so it's easy to go out so I started quite young with that and um yeah hence the the kind of crazy outfit so I transitioned I stopped going to the under 16s club night and then I started going to the um the adult drinking so I my daughter turns 14 this year and i started going to clubs i didn't drink but i started going to clubs when i was 14 she is a child how the hell would we be in letting places because she looks like a you a child still how age 14 were we being let into these the

institute i went to the institute in Birmingham going to I don't understand it it's it honestly it was wild like we would there'd be a group of us we'd just be they didn't care there was maybe like one club in town that was a bit more kind of like no pure we need no one cared nowhere else cared and also I had um my first tattoo when I was 15 I lied about me and had that when I was 15. And the other one I've got, I was only 17. So both of them, I wasn't even old enough for that. I was old enough to have.

I was 18 when I got my, what's your first tattoo? What was it? I mean, this is going to come as the hero surprise to anyone. Because so the first one I had done, whatever year that was, when was it? So it would have been 1998. It is a Chinese symbol on my stomach. A Chinese symbol on my shoulder.

Of course, of course. And then the other one I had done in 2000, and it's a tramp stamp. Like a tramp thing on the bottom of my back. What's your Chinese symbol for? If we've got the same one, I'll really laugh. I actually can't remember. Even. i just looked

at them there was like a thing on the wall and i was like i'll have that one or something i think i think i must have picked it it must have been like whatever i was woman my means women oh my gosh so yeah i had that when i was um both of those when I was underage. So I was that person. Like, all I wanted to do was be 18. That's all I wanted. I wanted to be, to be able to do what I wanted, to be over 18, to be able to do. I was, my mum always used to say I was, you know, like 11 going on, like 25. Absolutely. Have you ever thought about getting your tattoo removed your chinese symbol removed

i mean i thought about it because obviously i had it done so young um over the years where you lose and gain weight it goes oh mine's just a blob mine is mine it's just like yeah it's just like a weird blob um but i think the one on my stomach i'd probably leave and the one on my back um is it's so iconic of that era I almost cannot and I think it's back I have to say because that era was the hipster trousers as well so everyone was so low down they practically were like falling off so that's why you had the the tattoo there and I think it's back I saw a tiktok the other day um about I will say I saw it on the news when I say I've seen something on the news or read something

it's literally off tiktok so everything i just take it as gospel but they were talking about how the tramp stamp um was men calling it tramp stamp because it's just a tattoo like why why is it it doesn't mean why why does it mean you're a tramp it just it's just stupid it's just a tattoo on your back but they renamed it and like we might oh they've got the tramp stamp mine's on my show I remember getting one on my shoulder my friend was like oh no but um sometimes I've been I've toyed with the idea of like turn it into like a Disney one or something because mine is just a blob now um but and sometimes you forget you've got it and I'm like what's that look what's going on I think the thing is like you for me I can't change it because it is I'm quite

sentimental about everything so all things like that I'm just like that was that era and because I actually really enjoyed my teenage years so to me I kind of love it because I feel like it was such a good I think if you have got a tattoo please message me if you've got a Chinese symbol please between us we must have every word Chinese word out there oh we must yeah between everyone must have I've met so many people with a Chinese symbol um okay first snogs I want to hear about it where was it you don't have to say the real name if you don't want to was it gross was it nice so I do I do distinctly remember so so if we're talking first snog because obviously everyone had a little kiss didn't they but snog is a different different thing um I do remember and I was around at my friend's house after school

and she was going out with a guy and then by default I ended up going out with his friend you know how that happens because it just does and uh yeah we were sat in a living room and he just kind of like went in for it and uh it it was it was not great I will say it wasn't like disastrously bad but it was um all I'm going to say is like washing machine I was getting washing machine vibes from it was a bit it was a bit over enthusiastic and I I didn't know what it was my first one so I didn't really know what's going on I was like well I'm assuming he's done this before perhaps he hadn't but it yeah it was it wasn't the best I'm not gonna feel like a sense of relief we like well that's that over then so I don't have to worry about that anymore like at that kind of like you know age you're just like

I need to just get this done and then you can kind of figure out later whether it was good or not because you've got nothing to compare it to but it it was very much the kind of like um you know mechanical washing machine I'm just trying to get yeah I was just going with it but just like yeah oh god it's so just a lot of wet and oh no thank you very much it's a lot of pressure if I'd like to to have your first snog because other people were telling you oh did you hear such and such and because everyone knew everyone it was a small school so everybody knew if someone had snogged someone if you hadn't yet it was like I've got to get on this now because I'm going to be the only one in a minute because I went to an all-girls school I didn't get that quite so much yeah we did we did there was like a group we we knew boys from the boys school um so

obviously everybody was just snogging the same like I don't know six boys um so I did it wasn't in like in your face we weren't like I don't recall talking about it a lot during the day um I don't remember that many conversations about it or maybe I just was completely oblivious I don't know mine wasn't till I was 18 so oh wow there's me like no only because that makes me seem really bad no I you're not you're the norm I was not the norm I got like probably got a tattoo and snog somebody in the same week to be honest um so yeah I was quite old okay um what would you say your biggest teenage success was oh this is difficult for me because I wasn't very um I when I when I said I loved school I loved the social side of school I did not like anything about the learning part so you know where you've got the kids who are like doing the Duke of Edinburgh thing or they're doing this and

that was so not me so I had no kind of like um successes in that in that kind of sense my successes would have been more like um social successes I think and I'm trying to think what would have been my oh that is quite a tough one do you know what what felt like success to me in terms of a in terms of a fashion style and general social success for our prom so proms had only just really started becoming a thing in the uk in the us they have been for forever but they didn't used to be did they really um so we we were kind of one of the first few years that had one and um so nobody really knew like what should we be wearing you know like some type of ball gown and victoria and david beckham had just got married yeah and he had two dresses obviously she had a wedding dress and in

the evening she had this really nice dress it was purple and red on the inside with a lit up the leg and it was amazing um everybody else I think had like gone to gone into town and bought whatever kind of long dress they could find my mum made me an exact replica of victoria beckham's evening dress except i had it black with red inside and um it was amazing and on prom night i was just like i had the victoria beckham hair i was like i feel like i'm literally like living my my ultimate prom. Like it turned out exactly. So that, that was a success to me. That sounds so lovely.

That sounds such a nice dress. Other people would answer that question with, yeah, I did, I did this and I got, I got it for me. Like, no,

that was, that was it. We've had, we've had people saying I stole someone's boyfriend. We've had people saying I downed a big disgusting drink that loads, like we've had all sorts. No, me turning up to the prom as Victoria Beckham, I think was probably my, that drink that loads a lot we've had all sorts no me turning up to the prom

as Victoria Beckham I think was probably my that that was a defining moment you've gone from Rizzo in Greece in my head to now Sandy in Greece when she turns up in leather trousers except you were in a knockoff Victoria Beckham dress exactly that exactly I kind of had different several different types of uh personality exactly okay is there anything you kind of regret from your teen years um I think if I had to think about what I would regret I think it was probably focusing too much on what you look like so there was a lot of and it's like you said in that kind of period of time I do feel like that was a really big thing I'm sure it is now to some degree but then it was

like massively and just like worrying about it so not so much like doing things to look different or crazy things to be really skinny but like worrying this person looks better than me or do you know what I mean like I think I kind of regret um doing that a little bit I've never regretted not being better at school like a lot of people would say that like oh no I'd go back in time and apply myself more but I've never ever been like that so I didn't even I hated college I started it didn't didn't carry on with that like I've always been someone who wants to do my own thing and I still say so I actually wouldn't go back and try and apply myself more because I I feel good about how I kind of did it really but oh that's good you go back and say something to littleoria what would you say oh i would say do you know what i would say is

to have more patience yeah i feel like anything that ever did go wrong or any kind of bad stuff that happened 99 of the time would have been because i just had zero patience the biggest thing you know when you can hear your mum in your head still from things she used to say when you were a child as in I'm going to count to three and pack it in stuff like that the other thing that I can literally always remember is patience is a virtue she had to bring that out nearly every single day because I was just terrible so I would probably tell younger Victoria just like have patience don't rush anything everything's a process don't ever force anything don't rush it everything will go how it's supposed to that's she would turn around to you and say sod off you don't know what you're talking about she'd be like you're 40 what you want about

she'd take out a diet a dr pepper and just be like a little roller roller exactly I thought I knew everything when I was that age I didn't think anyone could tell me anything and and to be fair to my mum like me and my mum as a lot of people will know if you watch my vlogs we're so close she's like my best friend my mum she gave me so much freedom as a teenager more than most people got but I do think she totally got that right I really do and at the time she was probably thinking oh my gosh like what is going to happen here but I've just got to trust her and and all the rest of it and and actually and back then you could do that a little bit more than oh god yeah like oh you just happy beat bopping all over the shop with no mobile phone nobody knew what we were doing my mum and dad were exactly the same my mum mum and dad, there was no curfews. There was no...

No. There was nothing. And, like, me and my sister were very well behaved, really. We didn't do anything too outrageous. You know, we went to the odd... We used to go to, like, flipping all over the country for all these boy bands and stuff. And we were like...

She would have been, like, blooming 13 and I'd have been 15. Like, Erin's age. Off to... What are you doing so i'm off to macklesfield to go and see i don't know bad boys inc or worlds apart or something it's just a completely different time wasn't it yeah and she used to say to me like because i used to have my boyfriend staying over right at the end of school um and so and i was late all the time and um she just said to me well it's your problem if you're late they're gonna and like she she just wouldn't do anything she would tell me like stop doing it obviously

um but she didn't push it or like get really funny she was like well you're gonna get in trouble in a minute aren't you and I did and then I'd have to sort it out but she would let me do that she wouldn't be there pushing or forcing me to do anything she'd be like well you'll just have to deal with it and she sounds great are you glad you grew up then or do you wish you were growing up now oh no I'm so glad I grew up then I think it was the best time to grow up before phones before social media despite what I do now and obviously I'm on social media a lot but I think it was a great time to grow up actually I do it was yeah no 100% I'm glad I grew up yeah i mean i like the the aspect now that it's easier to find uh more like-minded people and um you get to see all sorts of different types of people which obviously we did not we did not see that um so i do like that aspect that my children will have a different

point of view to some things but now i'm glad i'm glad I grew up I'm glad I grew up then okay can you tell the people where they can find your wonderful Disney vlogs so they can find my channel on YouTube so I'm Disney in detail on YouTube and also on Instagram and I actually do have another channel Victoria in detail which is kind of other stuff I'm doing and other travel um so the Disney stuff is specifically on yeah you popped up a target hall i saw the other day yeah people love a target i am honestly it never ceases to amaze me i could put one up every time i go to florida and people always watch it it and i get so many views people are obsessed with target but if you put up something else people like no it's target it's just and you know what they're right because target's amazing target is amazing nobody's wrong for snacks in america are 100% better than the snacks here and the fanta orange i dream of it nightly because it's the best drink

in the world full of absolute rubbish i mean that's the thing that's just a bit don't ever look at anything you're buying as to what's in it don't do that just buy it enjoy it you're on holiday it doesn't count and then and then just leave again but you have like Twizzlers are a low-fat snack well yes because it's 100% sugar so there's no fat in it but there's just pure sugar orange it'll be like um I think actually the Fanta orange says no natural coloring or it says something quite strange on it it's like is it just poison I don't mind for two weeks that's what i'm going to drink every day they're proud of it so i bought um i don't know what it was it was some bottle of drink and it said um contains no natural flavors in like big letters on the front as if that's like a flex like this does not contain anything good and i was like okay i tell you one thing that we

saw um this time in California which I've never seen in Florida so it must be like different rules for different states they have like signed up saying things like in this shop there will be where you do sell things that might give you cancer and you're like what the hell even at the tills my kids are like what this is terrifying it is wild like that that's one thing that i do find in america if you're british and that's why we're so fascinated by stuff like if you go to um like the medication section you literally buy stuff that is only on prescription over here you can buy bottles of like a thousand paracetamol and stuff like over there they're just kind of like whatever

you do is your problem like if you do anything with anything or drink things that are going to poison you or whatever they're just like you'll be sitting there watching like a lovely family show we like shark tank and then an advert will come up and they'll be like take this medication for piles warning if you take this you could probably die and you might lose both your legs and your head will fall off and you're like literally yeah they're like we told you though so take it that it's on you okay we're getting distracted go and check out victoria's um vlogs thanks so much for coming on the podcast and guys thanks so much for listening we've got loads more fun episodes coming up in um season five so be sure to subscribe or like and also go and leave a review my dad always leaves
