We love giving you guys advice. Do not take what we're saying as gospel. If you do feel like you need to speak to somebody, please seek professional help. Oh, my God, it's a big old present. I'm absolutely thrilled to be giving this to you right now. Wait, I'm a bit nervous. Wait, guys, I do have the world's most useful gift.

I do actually have a present too. I'm really, really... All right, get it all out. Come on. Don't be shy. You're kidding me. You're wearing one too? Yeah.

Guys. Right, this is it. Heated? Yeah. What do you mean? It's heated fleece. It's the best thing I have ever bought myself. No, you're kidding me.

You have a heater in the back of the neck, all down your back, and all on your front. It's so warm. No, you're lying. When you were messaging me this morning, like, I'm freezing. I was like, ha, I'm not. But only because of this. You're... Wait, wait, the button's on.

Yeah, yeah. It's like a heater. Do I need to charge it? Yeah, charge it. I get home every day. Plug in the little battery, charge overnight. I think it's chic. It's cool.

I love this. They have loads of different colours. Sorry, this is huge huge that's the best present you've ever given me i'm because you're just wearing a thin thin top and that jacket yeah that's why i wasn't called shit where did you find that just google it i was so freaking cold and found his air i just googled heated fleece no you well because i have heated boots and heated gloves for skiing. And I was like, there must be a garment you can buy that's heated for your body. There is. So then it flew out of our dessert.

No, no. I just had it delivered to my house. And I was like, what did you want to? Because I was like, Sophie will definitely want one of these bad boys. That's the best thing you've ever bought me. How good? She messages me at Christmas. She's like, I just got you a Christmas present.

It's the best thing you're ever going to get. It's honestly the best thing I've ever purchased. I've told the whole world about this fleece apart from you because I've been waiting to give it to you. So the brand is called Aurora.

Aurora. There's actually lots of places that sell them and make them. I actually believe Showful waistcoats make one

that's meant to be really, really proper but this does the job and it's great. Call this out forever with those booties too. I know, she's an outdoorsy gal.

I dread the rest of the day because I'm scared about leaving this studio and going on the walk to the tube right now. Yeah. I'm already,

it's dwelling in my mind. I didn't see your car on the car park. I don't have the car, I gave the little, When's the new one coming back? Fanny's gone, we're getting a new Fanny,

black Fiat, so nice. When is she coming? Don't know, Minnie's on the case. Shit. don't know Middy's on the case shit Middy my wonderful PA is on the case

shit I don't know if we can wait that long I know but I was hoping to get a lift back I know it's really sad I don't even wangle do you want to just drop me a bit

do you want to just drop me all the way I will say I think I'm going to have to start getting the tube here though it's so much quicker than that it's fast it's just quite nice

being in your own space in the car. I love those little cars. Me too. Nothing beats an electric car. Like, just the effortlessness of it. I know. And there's just no noise. It's...

It's gorgeous. And I love charging it. The whole process is just... It's a joy. It's enjoyable. I agree. Oh, I'm really excited for the new car. When are you moving house? What's going on with that, it's a job. It's enjoyable. I agree. Oh, I'm really excited for the new car. When are you moving house?

What's going on with that? Still looking. We were looking at one in Fulham actually. Why about you? This week. Still looking. The thing is I just don't believe you guys anymore because every time we feature it, we're looking at another house.

Guys, it's the most upsetting thing. I don't know how. The thing is, Jamie obviously wants, like he has such a specific idea so I'm like well what we're gonna have to do is reno then like that's what I've come to terms with like you don't want or at least we're gonna have to look at the house and be like well we're gonna change the kitchen and like the bathrooms but he still wants to go in and be like this is the one I'm like you're not gonna get that no he's not it's a dry it's honestly like the biggest bit of my life let me tell you Christ alive we're thrilled and so grateful

for all these incredible dilemmas that you've been writing in this is this is going to be an excellent episode I'm just having a scan through

they're juicy no scan it's juicy juicy juicy I just saw how long they were they look great it's juicy lemon vibes

we are very excited. Okay, right. You go first. Okay, me first. Okay. Pats. Hi. Jamie said I keep doing that and I'm like, that's the biggest ache ever.

Yeah, you do it too, but I do it more as a joke. Yeah, it's just like a little clear of the throat before we start the episode. Okay, right. Hi, Sophie and Melissa. My closest friend, let's call her Lily, and I have been friends since we were around 10 years old. We're now both hitting 30. So that is 20 years. That is gorgeous.

That's stunning. However, I don't have a relationship with Lily's husband. And there have been a few instances that have strained our friendship because of him. I was in a relationship with one of Lily's relatives which turned toxic and I left him as a result. I didn't tell Lily a lot of what happened as I didn't want her to get caught in the middle but there were things that I couldn't keep a secret from her. It's just awful for both of you. A few years ago Lily asked if I wanted to meet her then fiance now husband let's call him Simon. We went for day drinks together with some Shit.

Sorry, also, to just meet your best friend's fiancé before you were even dating. Like, that's like you and Jamie dating and then suddenly you being engaged and that's the first time I meet you. I'd be fuming. That's weird. I'd instantly hate him because I'd be like, why don't I know about you? Why have I not known you before? Something says instantly.

Red flag. Naturally, I stuck up for my friend but he turned nasty and said it was no wonder my boyfriend had left me. Oh my God, arsehole. What the hell? Oh my God.

I was unsure if he was just drunk and it hasn't been talked about since. It hurt me more that Lily had told Simon private things about my life, which he then tried to use against me. So what sort of meet cute was this? I'm so confused. I've tried to stay clear of spending time with him,

but it's getting in the way of my friendship. On my last birthday, Simon rang Lily and she put him on loudspeaker and he was telling us both about his day, but he managed to slip in that he'd seen my ex and that he looked the happiest he's ever been it was a shitty thing to say especially on my birthday this guy is an arsehole i hate simon hv arsehole oh lily's 30th is now approaching and of course her husband is going to be there as well as my ex oh god i'm still single and just don't want to go but i'm worried that i'm just being sensitive and need to get over it. But maybe it's a friendship where I need to just let it go.

I reckon you just let it go and just know that it's always a friendship, that you're not going to interact with the husband. And that's fine. Yeah, I don't think let the friendship go. Like, you've been best friends for 20 years and, like, Lily's not done anything wrong. I think you're just going to have to, like...

She should also stick up for her mate a bit more, though. Like, don't fucking say shit like that. And also also just be like you're a dick to your husband like call him out because that behavior is unacceptable that is unacceptable and also like why is he having like a public argument being like the wedding's cancelled i mean it's quite me i think it it says a lot about him and everyone can see that so i wouldn't worry she's obviously married an arsehole really sorry lily but like he does not sound like a good guy to me he is not it's one thing to have an argument with your fiance and have a blowout you know i'm sure that happens from time to time but then don't be an arsehole to the best friend and bring her relationship into it and say no one to your

boyfriend don't do you honestly so horrible that is. Who the fuck do you think you are? My view on it is. It makes me angry actually. I'm pissed off. He's an angry little man. Even if he's big, he's a little man inside. Something's going on there. Something's up.

He's got something, some insecurity, some issues. You've got to let him do him. You stay in your nice positive space. Lily and you are separate to him and don't try and merge it just see her on her own and if you don't see you don't want to go to that birthday don't go just say i don't pop in for half now go early i would just literally make up an excuse and be like i'm really sorry i've got a family thing and i just can't yeah but make sure you take her for lunch on your own done yeah so i but i can't go but i'm gonna book us a gorgeous place when are you free i want to take you to like i don't know like a nice restaurant where you live but for example i want to take you to a lovely lunch at scott's or

something i don't know what the vibe would be but i would make up for it with an alternative that's a really good idea yeah really good idea stunning i also think there has to be something to be said i know you're annoyed that your best friend has spoken to her husband about you dating her relative or her cousin. But that's going to happen. Do you know what I mean? You would tell Jamie, if I was dating your cousin Will and it didn't go well, you were going to tell Jamie about it. Do you know what I mean? Oh God, Melissa and Will.

Do you know what I mean? You can't expect, that's not really a deep, dark secret. That's just general. You do tell your husband and your boyfriend. Things that are going on with your friend's lives. It's something, you know, that's just what,

that's natural. I don't think you can get angry with that. The fact that he used it against you is just extremely messed up and bizarre. And so rank of him. You just don't do that. I just don't get that. Like he's an odd guy through and through.

We're not a fan of it, Simon. Simon, no. Simon needs to go, but they're married now, so you can just hang out with her. Yeah, you've just got to see her on her own. It's annoying and it's frustrating, but these things just happen and sometimes you do grow slightly apart

and the dynamic does change, but you've just got to move with the punches. You've got to move with the punches. I've just read the intro for the next Dilemma and I'm on the edge of my seat. Okay, right, I'm going to go into it. Dilemma 2. Hey, girls. I'm just going to move with the punches you've got to move the punches i've just read the intro for the next dilemma and i'm on the edge of my seat okay right i'm gonna go into a dilemma two hey girls i'm just gonna cut to the chase my best friend has been shagging my ex the past eight months behind my back no i actually can't go like x x x okay don't worry it's not a crime boyfriend okay it's not that to set the scene me and my ex let's call him joe broke up last year

after he did some really shitty things and turned out to be somebody that I just couldn't trust. Joe. However, I'm dead at like the way this is written as well. It's like to set the scene. I know, me too. However, ever since me and Joe broke up, my best friend and him have been getting close. Also, like, don't fucking do that. Oh, that's so annoying.

I saw that she was texting him and they seemed to end up in ubers together after we'd been out I found it strange as they were never close before and even when I told her all the stuff he'd done she would brush it off I as in like so you knew they were getting close and you were like trying to put him off and she just doesn't care I ignored it as I tried to keep the peace in our wider group I was very good of you however a few days ago she messaged me she messaged asking to meet up as she had something to tell me she told me that she'd been hooking up with him since april and to make it worse she let she said she felt no guilt okay i said that i'd find it difficult to keep being friends if she kept seeing

him and she said that she wouldn't stop hanging out with him. Just to make it even more confusing, my ex told me a month ago that he still had feelings for me and wanted to get back together. I told my best friend and she accused me of lying when I've got no reason to lie about wanting to get back with him. Oh, fucking hell. All my friends are telling me to remain civil, which is strangely what I feel like I should do. But then a few of my close friends have said that if I drop do but then a few of my close friends have said that if I drop her then they would have my back we're really close but is there any coming back from something like this we were really close sorry okay first seed that is coming back yeah of course that sort of shit's happened you also don't really seem like you care if I'm honest I

think it's kind of fine you don't seem like you're that it's not like I'm heartbroken I still love him I'm devastated yeah I'm cringing that the best friend is like no no he loves me he loves me you're lying

like that's just really like no but bless her she's obviously in denial he's in he's a dark dark horse we're not a fan of him all I'm gonna say as well is

he's what's his he was shagging the friend to get back at her obviously she's I think when girls do this What I would say as well is she... What's his... He was shagging the friend to get back at her. Obviously. She's... I think when girls do this in friendship groups, there must already be feelings there

because girls wouldn't risk breaking up friendship groups, upsetting girls, because there is... Most girls, I like to think, are girls' girls, but sometimes their feelings just override that sense of like friendship so she would have always had maybe something for him and for her it was worth it because she already had those feelings and that's why it's been pursued she's very into it and by the sounds of it he's just thinking whatever I

don't care it's not I personally feel like you don't I feel like you're in a position where you're a bit like it's a bit icky but I don't actually care that much but I feel like I should care like I feel like I should be angry like it's okay if you don't care she's your mate he's still into you like don't like poor gut like I feel like your friend really likes him I think she really likes him she's come to you she's told you I mean she told you a few months too fucking late eight months but she probably wanted to make sure it wasn't just like a one-night stand like she obviously follows some feelings I don't feel like this is that sinister I feel like he unfortunately isn't that into your friend I think he got with her to get back at you he's into you

yeah he misses you and unfortunately she can't see that but that? I think he got with her to get back at you. He's into you. Yeah. He misses you. And unfortunately, she can't see that. But that's fine. You have to let her ride this wave with him. Just don't get too deep. I would just be like, look, I don't want to hear about it. I just don't want to hear anything about it. And I'd rather you not be like, you know, all over each other in front of me.

Like, just yet. I need to just adjust this. Oh, no, no, no. They can't ever be in front, like, all over each other in front of her that's uncomfy that is uncomfy like that we don't need if they've been dating for eight months and it's knocking on to close to a year they're gonna probably been telling oh this is true a month like I just personally would stay stay clear of the air it's like just hang out with your friend separately you don't want to hear about it she might want to start talking to you about it she probably is going to be like what happens when he does this yeah like no no we're not going to compare notes

on the size of like this guy's dick no no I know I know don't talk to me about it we're going to draw a line I'm fine with it but just do you be like you know what I would do I'd be like look this is not something I would ever do to you but you've done it now it is what it is maybe our friendship won't get back to the way it was but I'm honestly fine with it and I just I'm just gonna turn a blind eye to it for the moment and also there's nothing wrong with just holding like not replying not coming back to it and just taking like a week on your own to be like hang on how do I actually feel about this do I want to be friends with her do I feel really betrayed do I

am I sweet with it am I annoyed like just work out your feelings and then be like okay I've really had some time to think about it this is how I feel

don't think it's right she's accusing you of lying can we just go back to this I'd be furious I'd be like that's just something that's pissing me off show the proof

or speak to him and be like, I need to sit. Oh, the thing is, he might then lie. Ignore him. Ignore him. I'm not a fan of him.

Like, put him in the bin. I think he's a liar. So anyway, I think he's just gone who like immature, like really in love with her, thinks he's going to make her jealous by shouting the best at me.

Eight months is a really long time. That's like falling in love stage. Yeah, eight months is fucking long. I definitely was like fully gone who in love by yeah eight months is fucking normal i definitely was like fully gone home in love by then oh god me too but also like that's so such a portrayal for him to then go and be like i really love you still boys are so awful like that i saw this thing i love how people sometimes people you guys come at us and that you're like you paint boys in such bad light and like girls do just as bad like in my experience they don't I just don't I do find that they can be can are capable of being

just as bad but we just don't do it that much whereas boys just do it more I think we definitely there is a difference in like in my experience and the way boys act and girls act yeah true no 100 100 like I'm sorry that is and if that isn't please write in and tell us like maybe we just haven't read enough about girls doing that sort of thing I know I think it's because you know why girls are just not we don't think with like our vagina as much as boys do like it's more emotional it's way more emotional I saw this thing I don't know if I've said this in this podcast before but I saw um this like psychologist woman I think it was on a podcast clip like a reel and she was saying the difference between like men and women is a woman when they have sex release a

hormone with the love hormone right and that regardless to you having those feels before you see it with them or not you're to start kind of falling in love with them even if you didn't have those feelings before. Not true. Because you slept with them. I definitely got the ick from that. Yeah, of course you can. But that's why boys don't have that at all.

They have their oxytocin, whatever their hormone release before. They know before they sleep with you if they're getting the feels or not. So them shagging you doesn't make that get released they don't release that hormone after sleeping with you that's why for them it's so unemotional compared to how it is for a woman and that's why the more you sleep with a man casually you will develop feelings and a man just won't so it is unfortunately our bodies are just made differently and like we will just have more emotion in stuff so this girl's gonna be fully in love with you

she's been you've been seeing her for eight months and he's just gonna be thinking about the ex he's like in a pickle he's confused

if you're listening this boy I need to know about you like what I wish he listened but you did the right thing you sacked him off he treated you badly

he was getting a bit weird I think that was great you've sacked him off and you know I just. He was getting a bit weird. I think that was great. You've sacked him off. And you know, I just feel sorry for your friend that's next to go, unfortunately. Yeah, it's just not a good, it's a recipe for a disaster.

It is. But all you can do is just keep being as chilled as you are. Take a beat, work out how you feel, come back to her, be really honest, set some boundaries.

We love boundaries. We love a boundary. Everyone will have your back. And I also think you're already being really chilled about this.

that i had to tell you oh my god we love. I've been speaking with a guy on Instagram for several months. He's a bit of an influencer on Instagram. Oh hello. Let's call him Alex. We've got loads of mutuals and after chatting a lot we decided to spend a weekend together. Gorgeous. About four weeks before he started sending me a screenshot of an account on Insta who has been sending him weird messages like I'm watching you and don't open your wardrobe I'm inside sorry what the fuck that's horrible he was posting these screenshots on his close friends laughing at them and then DMing

them to me and he would talk about how weird it was no I've got goosebumps fast forward a couple of days and the same account started messaging me weird stuff asking me to move to their farm and marry them it became constant and they would reply to my stories every day i'd then send them on alex send them on to alex and would laugh at what the account was sending to him why are you laughing i would literally call the police it all got too much when the account started sending me ai generated

voice notes now i feel really uncomfortable i feel like he's coming after us now. I'm scared. Okay. Why do you keep reading my message and not replying? I don't know. You do not want to cross me, girl. Otherwise, you will end up like my last wife.

She got fed to the pigs. Okay, right. Okay, well, first of all, that's a threat to life. Imminent threat to life. Call the police! This is like full CSI crime scene investigation.

Like, we need to lock this shit down. We need to read the rest of the dilemma. I feel highly uncomfortable. Lock this shit down. Like, we can't. We might have a duty of care to call the police ourselves. I agree. I started getting really freaked out

as this isn't something that a random account would do. Agree. So I got my detective hat on and typed the username onto instagram and pressed forgot password which showed me the last two digits of the number no i feel sick okay so she put she showed me the last two digits of the number which the account was registered to and to my surprise i was recognized the last two digits of the phone number it was Alex's

I'm in complete shock and utterly flabbergasted at why he made this account to troll himself and me I have no idea what to say he's a psychopath

it's not like I would air him as we were chatting 24-7 do I confront him about it if so how I feel so embarrassed for him when it could just be a joke but no

I'm really sorry that's Ted Bundy vibes. He's a murderer. I'm done. Wait, wait, wait. I'm also just going to say there's a lot of phone numbers on the planet

that have the last two digits which are the same. No, it's him. And he's close to... Right. Guys, I watch... You have to get... Take his phone, take his phone,

take his phone. But guys, you don't understand. I'm telling you now, I've listened to Red Handed podcast. I've listened to all these... This is serial killer vibes. Okay, right. We're going to have to give some advice here. I'm telling you now, I've listened to Red Handed podcast. I've listened to all these. This is serial killer vibes. Okay, right. We're going to have to give some advice here.

I'm going to put my really like, my sensible hat on. I feel like a duty of care. I'm telling you now, you block him. You call the police on this. I would call the police. I would tell my mum and my dad.

I would call them straight away. I would say, mum, dad, this is what's happened. So if you go missing, then people know. 100%. I really think this is bizarre. Please tell me he doesn't know where dad, this is what's happened. So if you go missing, then people know. A hundred percent. I really think this is bizarre. Please tell me he doesn't know

where you live. Of course he has. They've been sleeping together and talking together. They haven't met. I feel, oh my God, it's so weird.

They've been speaking on Instagram but they've never met. You know what? He might even fucking be real. He might be fake. Guys, I'm really freaked out. He's an Instagram model.

He's obviously fake. Is this peanut butter behind the screen? It is a thousand cent catfish. I know it in my bones. I don't think that this guy's real. Oh my God, no. He's an old, disturbed man. Alex is not a real chap.

Oh, we're not. Have you listened to that? No, what? That podcast. What's it called? Like Bobby, Feeding Bobby or something. And this guy is talking to this girl or this girl's talking to this guy

Sweet Bobby What happens Jemima? It's this vibe Is it real? Is it about a girl talking to a guy? It's real No you're gonna die Right let me tell you the story

So a girl is talking to this guy they've never met it's all AI they FaceTime they do all these things it's all ai he they facetime they do all these things it's all fake he manipulates it all and he's like in india and germany and every country under the sun so they can never meet it turns out it's a girl he says these big stories he's like i've been shot i'm in a coma this girl thinks she's in this relationship with him it's all ai

and it's a girl behind the screen just some random normal girl got a good job at like goldman and sacks stop she's like yeah like asos dude like normal normal girl and she's created this catfish account why don't know you don't know oh no she's like cousins with her it's like her cousin it's her cousin or something isn't it it's really weird and this is what's going on here i I can feel it in my bones. Right. We need to give some advice here because we don't want this to be your cousin

that's working at Goldman Sachs trying to fuck with you because it kind of sounds like that's what's going on. I don't think you should speak to Alex ever again in your entire fucking life. I would block him on everything.

Yeah. What's the harm even if it wasn't him? Like, it is, but you've never met him so, like, it's weird, icky. The whole thing is bizarre. I don't think there's some random guy that's messaging him.

It's himself messaging himself and he's sharing it on his close friends. The whole thing is so disturbing. People are really odd sometimes. He obviously wants to look important, like, this guy's following me. It's really sad. I'm skilled. I'm skilled. Australia, boy, follow up.

Okay, so the story was that the guy wrote in that he had this relationship with this girl. It was all going really well. And then he got this job in Australia. Didn't tell her to the last second. He went off to Australia.

She got pissed off. They never spoke again. But now he's coming back after maybe two years being away he never forgot about her never and he was like i'll see what he throw on the 10th january or whatever he knew she listened to this podcast yeah and we put out a little message for him didn't we yeah um put out a little prayer that anyway so this is basically what you guys have said that this girl should do. Hannah said, I'd go meet him, set some ground rules

I decided that I needed a clean break. I kind of get that. Same. It probably seemed harsh to him, but I knew that if I had him on socials or hadn't blocked his number, that I'd have been messaging him and hurting myself knowing that we couldn't be together.

I went through some of the most emotionally draining months of my life and then decided that I'd had enough of being upset, so set off on my own adventure. Through some of the most emotionally draining months of my life and then decided that I'd had enough of being upset. So set off on my own adventure. In May, I quit my job and used my savings to start traveling around the world. Along the way, I've met so many incredible people that have made memories that I wouldn't have made if I had stayed at home. I've really found myself and happiness again. Lovely. Kind of like what he did.

I actually missed this episode when it came out as I spent the first part of January on an island off the coast of Colombia where where they had no internet so when I listened to you guys talking about what happened to me it made me go numb oh my god I really hope that you got there in time I feel really unwell I've spoken to him and explained that I'm traveling and that although I appreciated his apology and how open he'd been I didn't think it would be right for us to reconnect that way I kept the door open for us to be friends so who knows what might happen in the future but for now I'm fully focused on me and I've had fun along the way with guys and it's been really freeing to just enjoy this time on my own it might have felt like the worst thing in the world at the time but it's given me the best

life adventure and i'm so excited to be that i'm so excited to now be experiencing lots of love to you both and all the tinies and thank you for keeping me up to date with everything that's going on with wednesday so far you've been all around south south south america with me in mexico so mexico is on the list. Mexico's epic. Make sure you go to Tulum and Isla Holbox. I'm a bit gutted, but go for you, girl power. No, I agree.

Good for you. I'm really pleased for you, but I'm also really disappointed because this love story is going to be a love actually. No, but he wasn't waiting at the airport, was he? Because my heart aches. I need to get him on the plane. He was probably looking out for like this

just to run up and give him a kiss no no no I feel really upset you know what sometimes people move on and that's okay

no but like she might come back from like when you're travelling you're a bit like woo Mexico sure you might come back to reality

I was so excited for this epic love story I do feel a little bit like heartbroken I won't lie but you do you and I'm proud of you

of an anti-climax look for a second there I mean I thought we were bringing people together which is you know the whole point no it's not really

but we could make it a bit more of a romance like we could be a matchmaking service could we actually give a call out for that
