Hey guys, we're back with another episode and we have the gorgeous Willis on today.
We're talking all about the scandal with the Brooklyn Beckham saga.
And I'm going to talk you through all my favourite hair care products.
Enjoy the episode, guys.
Enjoy.
And please subscribe to our YouTube channel at Wednesday's podcast.
Love you.
Guys, welcome back to the pod.
We've got Willis on my show.
Hey, Tiny's.
Willis is just the kickers.
King of all hair. You don't do my hair that much. I cry. Cry for me. No, but I do give it a good
nice little cut around the front. You do. Every now and then I get treated to a bit of shape.
It's looking lovely. So I actually had it cart-cheated on you. I went back to my original hairdresser
that I had when I was 20 years old. So sorry, my mum, but for a proper cut. Like, I had a lot. Can you tell?
It looks nice. You've got like lovely bit of shaping through the front. He called it freshly shagged
hair. I love that. A fresh shag.
Everybody loves a fresh shag.
Instead of bedhead, freshly shagged.
I was like, that's actually so chic.
Yeah, you're looking freshly shagged, I won't lie.
Freshly shagged hair is brilliant.
Anything to talk about, there's really something that we need to touch up.
We've got a lot to talk about.
We obviously have to talk about Brooklyn Beckham.
Yeah, what an abomination, like, honestly.
I can't bear it.
My dad, I called my mom.
right away. And my job was like, forget Donald Trump in the news. He was like, this is just
breaking news all over the BBC. I was like, I know, because the nation's in absolute dismay.
I can't believe how much coverage it's got. Like, it's on the news, it's on the daily mail,
it's on, there's, on, there's, there's, memes, it's everywhere. I will say, I couldn't be
proud of the internet at this time. Like, the creativeness of what they think, Victoria's
dancers, so good. Really made me chuckle. Right. So, cool. And then,
What's your thoughts on it all?
I just, I don't know, I don't know if I'm getting,
there's synergies with the Harry and Megan thing.
Yeah.
And even with that, I'm like, I don't really know whose side to pick.
I know what you mean.
Like, obviously, would you just put out a statement like that and it be false?
Like, you wouldn't just put loads of,
I wouldn't push it on the internet about my family.
Yeah.
That is just the bottom, like that's such a low blow.
Yeah.
Just not his best move, I would say.
Yeah.
And unfortunately, I do feel like,
He's trying to set the record straight, right?
Wow.
The whole, right, let's talk about this dress thing, right?
Gone on, gone on.
At the 11th hour.
Victoria pulling out of making the dress.
She had her dress made by Valentino that took like two years.
And she did a whole Vogue interview about it.
And it took, I think, over a year for them to make this dress.
Yeah, I saw.
So I'm like, what are you on about?
Maybe it was like an evening dress.
Like, you know, don't people change that dress.
Or maybe it was like a five-day wedding and it was like a different day.
Or maybe she was a pain in the ass.
and Victoria for, I can't fucking do this.
I can't be doing that.
Which I can so believe, like they're too powerful women.
But we don't know, do we?
So apparently he posted one and then had to delete it and then reposted.
Is that true?
Obviously, the moment I saw them, I was like, he said I didn't delete these any minute now
and I just screenshot all of them because I was like, I need the camera.
My heart was racing when I was reading it.
I was like, I can't believe what I'm reading.
Like, it was bonkers.
Yeah, it's bonkers.
But he must have been really quite, like, I don't believe he's a bad kid, right?
Like, I think he's a, I like to think he's like a good person.
So he must have been pushed quite far to have to post all this stuff.
Yeah, like, because he's obviously just thinking, enough is enough.
I wonder why now?
Yeah.
Like, what's happened to, what happened today that made him post that?
The straw that broke the camels back, I guess.
Yeah, but what was the straw?
Who knows?
I think ultimately, hopefully Victoria can have a laugh at all these memes there of,
and these AI videos of her dog.
saying like they are funny.
And I think it's providing, it's giving the world a bit of a break from heavy news, which is quite nice.
Yeah, it's like a bit lighthearted isn't everyone's just like, cracking.
The memes are quite funny though, to be fair.
They are amazing.
Honestly, I'm so proud of the internet for all the memes.
It's fucking great.
I feel like he, there's no going back now.
Could have been dealt like another way, right?
I just don't understand how it gets to that.
point with families. I think she probably got to the point where she was like me and my, me and your
mum don't get on. You're going to have to pick a side. Like me or her maybe. Yeah. I will say I do
think that Nicola Peltz, not that this pays any of this fella, I think she's like really one of
few women I've ever seen in my life. She's gorgeous. I was just listening to Spice Girls on the
way here. Like I will say hopefully it like gives the Spice Girls like an extra sort of bit of
downloads this year because it probably will. Like any press is good press in that respect.
Yeah. Like the plays on TikTok that are going to be going for those songs. Is it want to be?
Ha ha ha ha ha.
Yo, say what I want.
That will be played, like the most played song in January, 2026.
Royalty's coming in.
Oh, yeah.
Nice.
Do you reckon there's going to be another documentary about this?
Hopefully they're filming a doc at the moment and this will all be covered.
Oh my God, just give the people what we want.
Like, just Victoria just come out on the stories.
Just fucking do something.
They would never.
You know, I was thinking I'd be really fuming if I was like announcing that I was like
pregnant or some really good news because it would just be drowned out by like this whole drama.
It's not a bad time to announce anything in anyone's life.
Let's just wait a few weeks.
Put it on hold until tomorrow.
I literally would.
All the day after.
Oh, this will be going on for a long time.
The country is an absolute bit over this.
Anything else to report?
Anything else to report.
So you have a boyfriend.
I got a boyfriend for Christmas.
Actually, when did you start dating ages before Christmas?
We started dating in September, end of September.
No, start of September.
When I saw you, you were like,
I've got a boyfriend and you didn't even dating him every month.
And I was like, oh my God.
But you were boyfriend.
Proper loved up.
Yeah.
And he's the nicest guy.
Yeah.
You know, you know.
You just know.
Like, yeah, he's a really good guy.
I found a good one.
You met his family quite quick.
Met his family.
How was that?
Yeah, it was like he's lovely.
The family lovely.
He's got no.
No Victoria Beckham's sort of mothernal vibes going on.
None of that at all.
His mom is absolutely hilarious.
Oh.
She's so funny.
You know, and you just click with everything.
And you're like, oh, this is always too good to be true.
How is everything?
Yeah.
Right.
Yeah.
So, yeah.
And then Christmas presents did you do that?
Because I always find that difficult.
When you're in a new relationship, it's like when is it like not icky to give a present?
We did like, we did a mixture.
We did, we actually went to Bista.
We got a few little picky bits to open for Christmas.
Picky bits.
I know.
That, honestly.
That made sense to me.
I know exactly.
Little like, little bits.
Just some silly presents.
Little silly bits and bobs.
So we did little bits and bobs and then we were like, let's go to Bister and get a nice little something.
This is such a shout.
Can I just say, Bister is so good these days.
But you need to know what you want to get.
Like you need to know what you're going to get or what you.
I think the opposite.
Really?
I think you have to go with an open mind expecting to still spend some money because things are discounted,
but it's still like, it's not like 200 quid.
You're still going to have to spend.
Yeah.
a bit more sometimes on like a pair of shoes, right?
Yeah.
But it's still sometimes like half off or 60% off.
Yeah, like there's so many good deals.
But then some of it, there's not.
So you have to really...
Some of it's still new and full priced.
You've got to be smart, I feel like there.
Because sometimes you do end up walking where you're like,
oh, it's only 20 quid off.
I know.
I know.
But like the novelty of like having any money off,
you're like, maybe I'll have to, I'll make this work.
Yeah, you know, I definitely need that.
Yeah, yeah.
Even if you kind of don't like it, you're like,
I think I think my wardrobe's missing this piece
and you convince yourself
like Ralph Lauren going there just like
need a shirt
We love a discount
We love a discount
Love a deal
Netta water in the new year
The sale
January sales
Yes
I'm almost like let's not buy Christmas presents
Let's wait for January
Yeah
Get a little bug
So what else's been going on
How are you though
Is your Christmas good
How is your ski trip
It was good
It was long
I feel like it's always
It's nice to go for a long time, if you can, because it means you don't have the pressure of skiing every day.
And I'm a fair weather skier.
I'm not like, I feel so sorry for Toby.
My family are like, I think because we see a lot and there's no pressure to feel that you've got to get the skiing in every day for the five days that you're there.
It's more relaxed.
It's like, oh, we just wake up at like nine and we have like a slow break for somewhere out the door by 11.
Toby Blessing wakes up.
His salopets are on the moment he opens his eyes before he's brushed his teeth.
and he's like ready to go
and my brother and all his friends
are like hung over
because they've all been out
the night before
and then no one leaves the house
until 11, 12
and then Toby's like
doesn't get us full day skiing
in the sweet angel
sweet sweet boy
but we were there for a long time
so I got good skiing in
the weather was stunning this year
it was so sunny
but freezing cold
it's actually too cold for me
freezing
I'm talking minus 17
absolutely bolt it
I'd have me going
but yeah it was really fun
skiing
such a fun trip though, isn't it hasn't been
ages. And Co Carrico
just like absolutely. So good. Lopri Ski
or go on then. Don't even. It's the best
but it's the most fun
and I don't feel like I ever really get that hung over there
which is amazing. Toby sadly didn't make it
to midnight on New Year's Eve.
Bit of a sickie on the nursery slope.
Sicky wiki. Yeah. The kidney
veal. The veal kidney came up.
They had for lunch.
Uh-oh. But he had a great time
until 9pm.
Yeah, it was really fun.
What did you do for New Year's?
New Year's had a really low-key one.
Just a friend came around, had a couple of bottles of wine.
Lovely.
Chilled.
It's a bit of an expectation of New Year's even.
I feel like you don't want to go out.
New Year's, you go out.
You just thinking like, oh, it's just too many people, too much going on.
It'd rather just be at home, chill.
I kind of get the telly on, firework display.
The celly, like, looks good.
So do you stay up till midnight and go, cheers, happy New Year with you?
And then, like, I'm off to bed now.
Yeah, like, no.
Because it does get a bit like that.
Have a takeaway, like little picky bits, TV's on, have a chat, a little yak.
Dream.
I had the best new year.
You know what TV, I feel like, has been so great for me.
Like, over Christmas and it's carrying on, we're now almost in Feb and I'm fully this country on repeat.
Quite funny.
I just love it so much.
Yeah, quite funny.
And it's like, I go through TV series, like, addictions on loops.
And I think it's because I just like to have...
So you want to re-watch it again or you're going on it?
It's been going on.
And they're really short episodes and there's not actually that many of them.
But my God, it's funny.
And you know what's weird?
The vicar in this country is like the main serious MI5 guy in the night manager.
And I'm like, I can't take you seriously.
I just can't.
Because all I'm thinking of him is this is sweet vicar.
Yeah.
Have you seen it recently?
What?
The night nurse.
Right.
The night manager guys, as you know,
it's like the biggest thing on TV right now
other than this whole Beckham thing.
Yeah.
So I have this country on and then it's the night manager on Sunday night.
This country's proper funny though, isn't it?
She's like, is she just like...
Carrie!
What?
It's not me and Toby do it.
I'm like, I come in and come in and say,
Carrie!
He shouts, oh!
It's so good.
Well, well.
I think that's it on the TV front.
Any other updates?
Any other gossip for me.
Donny one's hair recently and they've let someone.
something slip about the Beckham's or...
No, have no tea.
What hair trends should we be looking out for 2026?
I think everyone's loving the 90s at the moment.
So it's going for more...
I'd say 90s vibes.
Less is more.
I think people are doing less now.
Like, you see people on the red carpet that are having just...
I kind of think Pamela Anderson's set this trend.
Yeah, she's...
Just by going to the bare face.
Because she's sort of brought it all back.
Yeah.
We're not doing so.
so much structure these days.
Everyone's doing like the loose updoos and, you know, it's more undone.
Undone.
I love that.
Yeah, I think it's quite nice that we're sort of going towards that.
I love these different like waves of trends that we always like seem to go through.
Everyone's more natural these days.
So even with makeup, I think the girls are sort of doing less.
Everybody's doing less because it's, you don't want to look too done.
You want to be natural and you want to look like yourself, but just enhanced beauty.
Exactly. Just like you, but better.
What I also was,
the facial expressions.
Guys, you need to watch the video of this,
as Willis' facial expressions, too good.
People seem to be dyeing their hair brown when they're blonde,
and I don't know why if someone was naturally blonde
and they could pull up blonde hair while you'd die at brown.
I'd do anything to be a blonde and logo blonde.
Why are we doing that? You've been blessed.
people are changing it up I guess
I'm desperate to get some of that sun in in there
I actually went through a sun in phase myself
when I was at school I used to colour my hair
like you used to get all the...
Oh! You know when you like in store
like everyone was doing all the box dyes and stuff?
Oh absolutely was yours like a dark red vibe?
I'd go no not let cherry red
The cherry red. What was it like the cherry brown or something like that?
We would do...
I just got like experimenting like found like a medium brown
love that one. Then I went dark brown and then it was just
black had black hair at school and was just like, no.
It's like someone who shouldn't go blonde.
It's the same as going black.
It never looks that great.
I never do that ever again.
It's hard to pull off black hair.
Like Kylie, my guess it's natural for her.
Yeah, really is.
Like Megan Fox, Kylie, like that black hair looks phenomenal.
Yeah, see, Kylie's is a bit more dark.
Would you say that's dark brown or would you say that's black?
I think it's genuinely black.
Yeah, it's dark.
Could be black.
It could be dark.
Maybe it's like black slash brown.
Black, bam.
Yeah.
But it's hard to pull off.
Sometimes it really washes you out.
If you get a few shades too dark, oof, I look unwell.
My greys at the moment are also rife like you can see.
Really?
Have you got a few or?
I'm bad.
To the point where my hairdresser said to me, he was like,
I was telling him about who I get my hair dyed with and he let nose hat.
And he was like, at some point you're going to have to start coming in every two weeks.
He was like, because you're just going to get, like, it's like the whole parting will just be like,
white. Like my grey hair isn't great. It's white. Get some colour wow root touch up on that girl.
I think maybe. Okay, you can see it. Get some colour wow root touch up. Is that the stuff that's like
coming in the makeup? Yeah, that's a really good. If you need, if you're like scraping the barrel
just before your appointment, before your colour appointment, colour wow, root touch up.
Okay. Brilliant product.
Well, I'm going to order that as well from Amazon. You're going to have to give me a bit of a shopping
list after this, I feel. So what are your top hair product recommendations for the
tiniies? So I might have some of my favourite products with me. Go on that. Would you like to see?
I would love to see. I love elnette. Anyone who knows me as well knows that I love elnette.
So this is the best, this is the favourite. Extra cold elnette hairspray. Cannot go wrong.
There's also something really chic. Can't go wrong. I think about the elnet bottle and vintage
looking and nostalgic. It's tried and tested. It's been going for years. You just know what
It's going to do.
Gorgeous product.
I mean, the scent's really nostalgic as well.
It's not the best scent in the world.
I love it because it reminds me of like my grandma.
Nostalgia.
Yeah, it is.
Yeah.
I'm happy they've never changed it.
L'Oreal, you can never change that scent because...
Never change that.
Best dry shampoo, living proof.
Oh, yeah.
Ficking in spray by bedhead, queen for a day.
Brilliant product.
Does that go in dry hair?
Put it in wet hair.
You can put in dry hair.
It's a spray.
It's a spray moose.
Ooh.
Yeah.
Really recommend.
So I've washed my hair, towel dried out the shower,
and that's just going in.
Yeah, you can use it on the roots,
roots to mid lengths, and then blow it all out.
And it will just give you so much volume without your hair feeling tacky.
I hate to feeling like this stuff in there.
Yeah, this is honestly such a lovely product.
So then I would use that on the roots, the mid lengths,
then you could use a moose through the ends.
Okay.
If you wanted to not put that through the ends.
And then the moose through the ends will just make the blow dry hold more.
Yeah.
And speaking of mooses, best moose.
Color Wow, XXL moose.
People talk about color wow a lot in the hairstyling industry.
Yeah.
It's got a good product.
Really lightweight, not sticky.
Got a nice array of different brands here.
These are the good sort of styling products, I'd say, like good.
They're your non-negotiables.
You take them everywhere with you.
Non-negotiables.
Okay.
Right.
Top three curl products.
Moroccan oil, curle-defining cream.
Free pumps.
Yeah.
In wet hair.
Wet hair.
Distribute it in your hands.
One side.
Scrunch.
Scrunch.
Scrunch.
Scrunch, scrunch those curls.
And that's it.
And then she's good to go.
I'd use that.
Would that work on someone like my hair where I've got a tiny bit of a wave?
Would it make it more curly or would it just make it?
Sofa was actually using it on hers.
So she's obviously got like a natural sort of wave in her hair.
She was just using a little bit of that just to like tame some of those frizzies, you know?
Frisies, okay.
So that's, you can try it.
I think products, I think you trial and error with products.
Yeah.
You should always try different products because one might work for you but doesn't work for somebody else or something.
Like it's personal preference, I think.
Curl cream, Moroccan oil, then the Oliplex gel.
Oh wow.
Curl gel.
Okay.
Brilliant.
Again in all wet hair.
I would.
A little bit of each.
Then I would use a moose.
Chuck it all on and you'll have gorgeous curls.
Right.
Last few products and then I'm done.
Color Wow, Dreamcoat.
Non-negotiable.
Is that spray?
This is the one for curly hair, but the normal one, brilliant.
And it just shine?
It gives your hair shine.
It's anti-humidity.
It will just make your hair feel amazing.
Okay.
I bet all these products are gorgeous too.
Next product, Augustina Spada.
Non-toxic.
Leave him.
Non-toxic.
Gorgeous product.
I bet it's absolutely stunning.
You'd love that.
Right.
So what's this?
Maybe I'll go buy this.
Yeah, you'd love that.
Have a smell of that.
Right.
I'm going to do last one now.
Oh, wow.
That's gorgeous.
Kerosisaz oils.
Right.
People rave about these.
Best oils.
you can get on the market.
Really?
I personally think.
Everyone that I think has good hair uses those.
So that's going on post-styling.
You can do wet or dry.
They're really lightweight.
Can I just do a pump of this now?
Yeah, of course.
Should I do just one?
Just do one or do a half of one if you feel like it might be too much.
How nice does it feel?
It's lightweight.
You won't feel like your hair is overloaded either.
You don't want to feel greasy.
That's like there's nothing worse than feeling grease.
Right, is that transformed me?
Babe, you look amazing.
Does it look shiny?
Yeah.
Looks gorgeous.
I will say it feels really nice.
It feels like I just look at a show in a hair.
Yeah.
Smells good.
Thin hair, thick hair.
Yeah.
Products for thin hair, I would use thickening spray to thicken it out.
But also a good blow dry.
I think if you've got thin hair and you can blow dry your hair really well, you can make it look
thicker.
So yeah, like good techniques for.
thinner hair like I have a go and have a blow dry once a week get a lovely gorgeous stunning
bouncy. Okay, so you're dicing. I honestly, yeah, get yourself a dyson. Dyson's a really good for an at
home blow dry. I think they're worth the investment. What about the shark? People talk about the shark a lot.
Yeah, I think it's quite similar. I think the shark one's a little bit cheaper maybe.
Don't quote me on that, but maybe. They would probably have good reviews on TikTok of like which one
would suit your hair better because I know some are better for thin hair, someone better for like curly hair and
blah blah, blah. But honestly, if your hair's a bit thin hair,
or I think embrace it, like go for it.
I think the textured stuff in thin hair can sometimes it really good.
And you can make your hair look lovely.
Whatever, if it's thin, thick, you can always make your hair look lovely.
Thick hair.
Yeah.
You want something that's really going to, right, a product I would say you really need like a smoothing cream
or something that's really going to tame it.
Dreamcoat for thick hair is really lovely to just spritz it all the way through.
And then what, brush it out?
Blow it all.
Blow it all.
And you need to be using heat protector.
That's like a non-negotiable.
Okay.
Is any of those one?
Color wow.
Yeah.
Majority, I think the thickening spray, the color wow.
They've all got it in.
Yeah, they've all got it.
Majority of products have heat protection in them.
But you can get some really lightweight sprays and really lightweight products.
Do you do a good spray for heat protection?
Yeah.
But you want to be using heat protector or.
honestly, like, save your hair.
I think if you're using heat and no heat protector,
don't come crying to me.
Your hair's slight ruined because I can't be asked for that.
Can't be bothered.
So get the heat protector on your hair, girlies and boysies.
We must.
We must.
We must.
We must.
I don't think I've ever had a big blowout from you, a big blow dry.
Sophie's blow dry.
We've done a pony.
We've done like, you've basically made my natural hair.
Enhanced.
Enhanced.
But we haven't done a blow dry.
We've never done a blow dry.
The blow dry that you did for Sophie's London wedding was iconic.
That will go down in history.
It's like one of the best blowdyes I genuinely think I've ever seen on the internet.
Do you know that we, I had about half an hour to do that.
I swear.
And we just ended up.
I think it was just, we just going for it.
Got the product in there.
I was blow drying it all out.
Lovely.
And it held all day.
Yeah, it was quite.
It was lovely. It was one of those moments where you just wasn't expecting it to be such a, we'd just done, no, I'd met her for on the live tour.
Yeah.
And then she said to me, fancy doing my hair for my London and Spanish wedding. I was like, yes. I'm so down.
Let's do it, Diva.
Oh my God. It was so iconic. So whatever you did to her, Heather, I'd love that to be done to mine.
It was really fun. We'd have to do it.
Shall we get into the dilemmas?
Diilemma 1.
Hi Wednesdays, I have a dilemma.
I'm really struggling to get on with my flatmate's girlfriend.
They've been together for nearly a year and we all know each other through work.
We are all in the same group of friends,
but she makes no effort with me or any of the other girls in our group
and keeps my friend isolated from me and the rest of our friends.
She doesn't like it when he spends time with me or are the flatmate,
who is also a girl.
A bit of a jealousy thing going on here.
For example, recently she was,
wouldn't let him watch the traitors with us at our flat.
We really miss our friend and we've spoken to him about it and told him we miss him.
And while he tries to see us more now, she is always very cold and tries to stop us from hanging out.
I know that if I want my friendship with my friend that I have to keep the relationship with her,
but she makes it very difficult.
Any advice, please?
Oh, tricky one.
I think communication.
You need to befriend the girlfriend.
Like, you need to be best friends with that girlfriend.
Otherwise, you're going to lose your friend while they're together.
It won't last.
He'll break up with her and then he'll come running about like, sorry about that.
That is what's going to happen here for sure.
Do we think that the girlfriend's getting a bit slightly jealous of the girls?
She's just a bit insecure, bless her.
It's not ideal, like your boyfriend living with a bunch of girls.
Yeah.
Especially if they're gorgeous girlies.
I would say, yeah, I'd say communicate.
They need to communicate.
She needs to sort of either approach him or approach her and just,
say how she's feeling or what she's feeling?
She should.
I feel like maybe you should say to the girlfriend like, look, I can sense there's...
Because if you go to the boyfriend, he'll be like, it could blow up.
She does say she's mentioned it.
They've mentioned it to him and he's like, I'm trying to make more effort.
Right.
I feel like the only way is to go to the girlfriend and be like, look, I can sense there's obviously
something going on and I don't want to make you feel uncomfortable and I feel like you are
and be like, I really like want to get to know you better.
Like obviously, like Josh loves you.
and I really want to build a friendship with you.
Yeah, because you don't want to lose the friendship of,
you don't want to lose him as a friend.
She's just a bit insecure about him hanging out
and living with some girls.
And you do hear horror stories about people, you know.
So I understand.
You must befriend the girlfriend.
Gend the girlfriend.
Gain her trust.
Invite her always over.
And you know what, maybe you and your other flatmate.
But just girls?
Could be nice.
So like maybe you and your other flatmate that's a girl.
Involve her into your group.
Get her in the group.
We've got to do that.
Otherwise, it's just going to be one of those things where you just drift apart.
And eventually this guy's going to move out, moving with her.
And then before you know it, you don't want to push him away.
No.
And he's stuck between the rock and hard place because he wants to appease the girlfriend,
but also doesn't want to piss off his friends.
It's difficult.
So I think Willis is right.
Communication is key.
Yeah.
Dilemma number two.
Hi, lovelies, love the pod.
I desperately need some advice.
I found out that my boyfriend has a strange fetish.
Oh, God.
He has a hoover fetish, in particular, a fetish for our hetty hoover at home.
This all became apparent one day I was cleaning the house, and he was lying on the sofa
watching TV.
I bent down to Hoover under the sofa and took off the nozzle to hoover up crumbs.
I noticed he was staring at me a lot, and I just smiled.
and asked, was he okay?
And he replied, yeah, I'm good.
He was wearing shorts, and I couldn't help but notice that his dick was rock hard.
Sometimes the dilemmas really just get me.
I didn't say anything to him, as I didn't want to make things awkward,
and just finished tidying up and left it at that.
A few weeks later, I came home from work early one day.
I remember coming into the house, and he was a bit surprised to see me home.
Oh, God.
And asked me why I was home so early.
he seemed like he was a bit on edge.
I eventually went upstairs
and the first thing I noticed
when I walked into the room
was that the hoover was plugged in beside the bed.
Oh my God.
And the hose was lying on the bed.
This is so aggressive.
What the hell?
All I'm thinking my brain is going
that he's literally getting the hoover
and putting it on as well in like going like that.
So the hoover was plugged in beside the bed
and the hose was lying on the bed.
Yeah, this image is so in my brain.
I didn't really know what to think and walked over to move it out of the way
when I noticed the end of the hose was wet and had something dripping from it.
Oh, come of it.
Just at least clean it up.
Like, at least hide the evidence.
The penny finally dropped.
And then the encounter from a few weeks previously made sense.
He's shagging the hoover.
He's fucking the hoover.
At first I couldn't help but laugh to myself.
But now I'm like, oh my God.
God, my boyfriend has a hoover fetish.
I need help.
How do I acknowledge it?
Do I even acknowledge it?
What would you do in this situation?
Lots of love.
I'd get a cordless hoover and be done with it, babes.
I would call him out and be like,
why are you having sex with the hoover?
It's weird.
Do you reckon he obviously switches it on because it's plugged in?
The hoover head is going over,
like he's putting his willie in the hoover head
and it's sucking on his willie.
Yeah.
And then he's what, jizzing in the hoover and it's sucking up his jizz?
Like, how does that even...
Or is he so turned on by the Hoover that he's like,
wanking to the Hoover?
So many questions.
So how do I acknowledge it?
I would just straight away, but like,
what the fuck is all over the Hoover?
Like, I don't know how you hold back on stuff.
What are you doing with the Hoover guy?
I immediately would be like, Josh, what's going on with the Hoover?
There's jizz all over the Hoover.
It stinks of jizz in here.
Daniel?
What are you doing with the Hoover?
Who fucks Daniel?
I don't know.
He's Josh?
I don't know.
Cammy!
Gary?
Do I even acknowledge it?
Definitely.
We need to just knit this in the bud
Pronto.
Like it's not normal.
It's weird.
Or I would like play a bit of a game with him
and hide all the Hoover heads
or like maybe even hide like things.
What's wrong with the Hoover?
Something's going on with the Hoover.
I don't know what's wrong with it.
The Hoover's broken.
I just don't understand.
The Hoover absolutely stinks.
Try and get it out of him.
Oh yeah.
Fuck with him a bit.
Hopefully it's not like a weird fetish that it's like making you think about leaving him.
Yeah, because this is a, this isn't it, right?
Would you say this is an it?
I wouldn't say this is an it.
I'm trying to think like what's equally as awful.
Because is it a dumpable offence if someone has a weird fetish?
It depends if you're on board with it or not.
Why the sounds of it, you're not?
It really depends on like, I think shagging the hoof is a bit of a funny one, don't you think?
It's not a fetish like he's fucking the hoover.
Like there is actually a difference.
It's fucking weird.
It's so weird.
Right.
So.
Slightly bizarre.
Definitely acknowledge it.
Definitely address it.
Call him out on it and say, mate, you can't keep shagging the hoover.
It's so weird.
It's actually as simple as that.
Yeah.
Like you just have to tell him how it's weird that you're shaking.
Tell him how it is.
Yeah.
What would you do in this situation?
Me?
You just, yeah.
I immediately would be like, what the fuck?
Why is their jizz on the hoover?
Why?
Why is the hoover on the bed?
What the helly?
Answer me.
Yeah, I agree.
What the heady?
What the heady.
Poor little hetty.
This is like not in her job description.
No, she did not sign up for this.
I just feel for her.
Please tell us what happens.
How you go about this.
Well, that was a crazy dilemma.
What?
Wouldn't try that at home.
No, guys, don't try this at home.
Do not stick your penis inside.
Hetty Hoover.
Okay, right, ready for the next one?
Yes.
Dilemma three, I have a dilemma that's eating me up.
Please keep anonymous.
Exclamation mark, exclamation mark, exclamation mark.
Okay, which is desperate for us to keep this anonymous.
I'm 27 and happily married.
But here's the thing.
I'm having the craziest sexual attention and thoughts about my 50-year-old boss,
who has also married.
We work super close in a medical setting,
so there is constant touching of hands or arms while we are around.
patience and I can't help but look and catch his eye when this happens.
He's so charming and sweet and is married to his college sweetheart. Are we American?
And has never been with anyone else. Which is the same situation as me. I married my first and only
boyfriend and never experienced anything else. Help, what do I do guys? Love you. I'm like,
have they spoken about anything? No, no. Just eye contact. She might be overthinking this big time.
Hand touch in the surgery.
Little hints.
What is she want to do then?
Does she want to go for?
She wants to sort, she's not sure whether to go for it.
I think this is reflecting on an issue in your own relationship.
Like, this is your one and only person you've been with and you're just like, I want to see
where else is out there.
Natural.
You want to explore.
And you know what?
Divorce is quite chic before you're 30.
Someone said this.
Emily Ratikowski said, like, it's chic to be divorced before you're 30.
And I'm like, fair play to her.
Bad play.
So, you know, divorce is always an option.
So you're recommending her to divorce, get a divorce.
Let's break down this marriage. I'm feeling I want to fuck shit up.
And go and chag your boss.
Well, I think we don't want to break up another marriage.
I think addressing the issues in your own is like something that we should deal with first.
Yeah.
I think if we're having fetishes about fetishes like sexual dreams and, you know, fantasy.
She might be completely overthinking.
the whole thing and it's completely by accident. Oh, hands have touched, eye contact. That's nothing
at the end of the day, is it? She likes her daddy. She's 27, right? She's 27, it's quite the age gap.
But there's something quite sexy about an older man who knows what he wants. A bit of authority as well.
Because it's her boss. Her boss. I think, let's just go back to your relationship with him, right?
Imagine being with the person that you were dating, like, at school. Is the grass always green on the other side?
No, but she's never tried any other grass.
And I think that for some people this happens a lot, they just think like, oh, we've got to get married, we've been together this long, it's all I know.
Yeah, because societal pressures, right?
Yeah, and then also I think you change a lot.
Like when you're a teenager.
Yeah, you grow up together and you do a different person, aren't you?
I think so.
I feel like you've got life to live, baby.
I think you need to consider not being with your partner.
And if you think that that's going to provide you long-term happiness.
because right now you've not been together very long and you're looking out as well.
And you've got your whole life married to this guy.
So I think that there is a couple.
She's thinking what if?
What bloody if.
And I feel like if your boss is behaving that way with you and I do think a woman's intuition is strong, you know.
I think we can feel shit.
And I think that your boss probably does fancy you, which I think is weird.
He's married.
He's much older than you.
He's your boss.
It's inappropriate.
How would you approach this?
Should she speak to him and say,
How do we go about this?
I'm thinking like...
Morally, the whole thing's wrong.
She might be overthinking that whole thing.
That's what I'm thinking.
The thing is though if you're catching eyes with somebody like that,
you know where you can literally feel the energy from someone next to you?
Like you can feel sexual tension.
They don't even have to be touching their stood next to you,
but you can feel that they're there.
When you've been like eye fart?
Yeah.
That's what's happening here.
That's intense.
Yeah.
Did she say she's a doctor or is she a nurse?
She says they work in a close medical setting.
and they're surrounded by patients.
So I think that they are doctors or surgeons or something.
NHS or private.
Let's check on his status before we make the move on him.
Does he own the GP practice?
Yeah, is it booper?
This is in the NHS, we don't know.
Oh my God, imagine he's plastic surgeon.
That would be great.
Honestly, like if you were my younger sister.
I don't have an affair.
I would say, let's forget about the 50-year-old for a second in terms of if we're going to go for it or not.
Like, if you're getting the ick with your husband and you're like, oh, I'm looking elsewhere,
that would tell me that you don't have the right feelings for your husband?
Because you wouldn't look elsewhere, would you?
You'd be like, oh, bit of sexual attention.
Let's shoot that down, ignore that shit and, like, maybe move jobs.
Like, if you were really that commissioned and loved your husband that much.
Because I guess it can happen, but you would, do you know what I mean?
I don't think you'd love your husband.
So I think we should address that first.
Yeah.
Address the husband issue.
Address the elephant in the room.
You're saying throw it all away.
Get divorced and go...
And then go out and explore.
You're going to forget about the 50-year-old once you're single.
It feels like the forbidden fruit, I feel like.
She wants to know.
So, like, this could get you both in a lot of trouble.
I wouldn't recommend.
He's double your age, babe.
Like, pack it in.
Yeah.
Honestly.
Listen.
Go on.
I think I've given some phenomenal advice.
Yeah, I think you've done some good...
I'm just like...
And if me saying to you, like, divorce you have...
husband makes you go, no, I can never, then you've got your answer that you should stay with him.
Okay? So, but please tell us what happens because I'd quite like to know if there isn't a fact going on
the doctor's surgery because that's quite good gossip. We love a, we love a January scandal.
Gras is not greener on the other side though, guys. But it's not. If your husband's a wonderful man,
I think really consider. I agree. Don't hurt anyone's feelings and look after your man. He's got you.
Yeah. That's the end of the episode, guys. Thank you so much for listening. Thank you.
Well, it's coming on.
Thanks for having me.
I've loved it.
So fun.
I'llie.
Bye guys.
