Hey, tinyes, welcome back to another episode of Wednesdays. So coming up today, is the rumor true that Sam Prince and Liv Bentley are together? Who is your favourite ex? Ooh. Who is your least favourite cast member on Maid in Chelsea? Fuck me! Okay, guys, hi. Hi. Hi. Guys, welcome back to Wednesdays. This is pre-bees last day in the UK. She goes back to Australia today. I know, sad. But I'm actually going to be back soon. So we're going to film remotely.

the next few weeks. And then I'll be back and we'll be back in the studio and we'll be having lots more fun. I was just talking to Ruby before we started about rivals. So she's downloaded everything for the plane. Yes, I'm going back tonight. I'm now like almost at the end of season one. Oh my God, it just is so good. And at first, so there's this guy in at Rupert Campbell Black, I think that's how he's saying his name. He's like this aristocrat, like his family all like, all in like sort of like MP vibes. Anyway, super rich, super. He's perceived of this super sexy man in it who gets away with everything. Really charming, really fun. At the first, I was like, he looks like Woody. He literally looks like Woody from Toy Story. He looks like a waxwork.

Like, this guy is not fit. Now I'm like, fancy you. Don't know what's happened. Just, I think the way he portrays the character and everything is just quite fit. Like, there's quite a lot of, and he has this like romance with a girl that he's not supposed to and it's really sweet, but also kind of creepy. Anyway, it's really good. What's the crux of it? Is it like a love story? It's based off of a Jilly Cooper book. Oh, okay. I think. I say that like I've read Jilly Cooper books,

but I know who she is, the author. Anyway, so in Rivals, right, if anyone's watched it, which I'm sure everybody has, there is so much sex. Every single episode, there's sex scene. Like, it's a really, like, raunchy, but tongue-in-cheek kind of thing.

How do these men having these sex scenes? They're fully butt-naked, like, pumping each other. How do they not get bonus? But they probably do. But what do we do about that? What do they do about that? Do they strap themselves? Like, take, what happens?

Do they? I need to know. Do they? He's with this gorgeous woman. They're butt naked. They're humping each other. It's like they're having dry sex naked. Is that a thing?

Dry sex naked? No, because I dress dry sexes with your clothes on. So they're basically, they're humping each other. Naked. He's going to have a raging stong on. I don't understand how... I just couldn't be with an actor that was doing it. I just don't know how people date.

I don't know how people date actors. Like I think about it, I'm like you... And all the times you hear of... to hear about, like, you've them falling in love with their co-host. I hear it all the time. Look at Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Didn't laugh, so, did it? It didn't last.

Jennifer Aniston had the last laugh there. She did. But you're right, it does happen a lot. It's happened. It's happened with Blake Lively and her husband. They met on a set of something. O'Rine Reynolds. I think he was with Sophia, Scarlete-Hansett at the time.

He was in Scarlet Your Hanson? At the time, yeah. He left Scarlet Your Hansen for Blake Lively. But yeah, fair, but Blake Lively is fucking 10-10. Yeah, she is so Scarlety-Hansom. But yeah. Scarley Hansen, I don't, not my type of beauty. Really?

I don't know what it is. She's so on female gays to me and so male gays. I know what you mean by that. I do know what you mean by that. She's sexy and I think it's more for the men. But I do think that there's like, what was she in that? Oh my God, there's that one movie, but she's in the Badly Cooper and she starts getting with him. And I'm like, you're married.

He's just not that into you. She is hot in that. I will give you that. Do you think by the time this podcast comes out? the people that have won Live Island are still going to be together. Votes. Well, I actually watched

Jasmine's clip coming out with to keep him around her up, didn't they? Yes. And I'm watching everyone's like, so what about the lifestyle changes? What lifestyle changes? She lives in London, he lives in Kent. People have done worse than that.

But he is 21. Oh, she's older. She's 27. Quite the age gap. It's actually not that much of an age gap. It's just because that time of life for 21-year-old, you're like... Yeah.

He doesn't seem 21. He will say the whole thing time I've watched it. I'm like, you're no, not 21. Like, he was very mature. He's a year older than Louis, my brother. No. He's a baby, my brother. He is a baby.

Oh my God, his girlfriend is so sweet. I know. But also Louis sometimes I look at him and I'm like, you're such a baby. And like, he'd sit there at the lunch. We have my engagement lunch. She'd be like, can I have another beer. Oh, God, it's so precious. Can't cope.

I'd like, you can. Also, like, I didn't get a chance to talk to your brother's mom. Also, so he was like, God, Fred. I was like, I know. Oh, everyone loves Fred. We all love Fred. Fred's just such a chiller. He's a chiller.

And he's just gorgy. But he is taking, guys, sorry. We've got some tea and some bickies also. I know. Next to us, which you haven't commented on, which is so cute. This is the tea set that we have from our photo shoot. Oh my God, guys.

This is so lovely. Because it's like a quintessentially English-British tea because I'm going back to Oz. I love her. She's going to miss. How much are you going to miss punton? So much. My friend. This morning, he's like, so Ruby just okay about going back to Australia.

And I was like, yeah, obviously she's buzzing, but she loves London. I love London. I'm like the biggest advocate. I feel like I come on here and just talk about how much I love London. Should we talk about how you had a bust up with someone because you were defending your country and your city? Which I, right, we need to do that more. Not a bust up, but I would. Just got protected.

I, there's a lot of people that don't get London. Get London. And do you know what? It's fine as long as you don't tell me that. Yeah. Like, just think it. Or you just say, like, I don't get it, but like, I wish I could. Like, obviously some people love it.

I just didn't see. But some people being like, it's so unsafe. I find the narrative. And you're like, I live there. That's really insulting. I think the media portrays London not in the best light. And I think if you don't live here, you're seeing, like, men on bikes, phones being stolen, robberies, breaking, gang culture. But, like, actually, as someone who's lived here my whole life, I love to tell everyone 30 years.

It just sounds a bit better. 31? Well, no, I lived here 30 years, but I'm 31. So surely, oh, you're right, because you've not lived here the last year. That's so sad. So, like, I've lived in London 30 years, which I think is a lovely round number. It is, it sounds good. And then Gav loves to caveat it with, she is only 31. And she prefers arts and movies like.

But, like, sometimes, like, some of Gav's friends are like, oh, like, London's so unsafe. And I'm like, no, London's so great. I also think that wherever you are in life and wherever you are in the world, you just have to have your wits about you. And I don't think it's like London's the only place where you've just got to be cautious and not too flashy. And like just like I wouldn't walk down certain streets at night, but I wouldn't in other places in the world either. And also I feel like ever since day dot of ever me coming to London, I moved to London when I was 18, you were always told like watch your bag, like there's pickpockets. There's always been that. Paris is the same. Like you're in a city. I feel like I have a new love and appreciation for London since spending a lot of time away and moving away.

But I also do, I do love Oz and I can't wait to get back. Fair play, you know that? Fair play to us. So this is Ruby's favourite tea. Love it. Do you want to give it his synopsis? It's from M&S. It's basically their shortbread tea.

Now, I don't know if anyone follows Melissa's wardrobe on Instagram, but she raves about this tea, right? And I was like, oh my God, I love a short bread, I love a biscuit. Imagine that in like a cup of like English breakfast tea. I would never drink that in the morning. But at a 3pm sugar craving. Oh, when you've got that sweet. And I'm like, I want something really sweet, but I'm not going to have a biscuit and I'm not going to have like cake. I get my craving that sugar fix from a cup of this.

And it's delicious, but I can't get it in Oz. So I thought, this is a packet for you to take home. So the team of sweet. Did I made us a full tea set. Oh my God. That's so lovely. Tim, would you like? I'll have a sip.

I'm willing to try. So I'm just going to read the ingredients out for the other almond girlies that are listening. So this is 94% tea and 6% flavoring. I'm not really a tea gal. I like a cup of builders like once in a while. So does this taste like Builders tea? A builder's tea. Slightly sweeter.

With a... Cheers. Let's try. You chink. Yeah, let's chink. Love you. Cheers. Taste to me, that tastes like London. You know what? It's really subtle. It's not overbearing. If it was much sweeter than that, I wouldn't be able to drink it.

Right, so we've also got some biscuits, ofs from M&S, and they've actually got questions on the back of the biscuit. We're going to take it in turns. Oh my God, gorgeous. Is this meant to be like when you go to a Chinese and you crack open the little like 14 cookies? It sort of feels a bit like that. I haven't had a fortune cookie in ages. My Chinese doesn't do them.

Devastating. Okay, so Tim, I've got a question for you. Kyle Lottles. What was the craziest moment on Maid in Chelsea that you were involved in? Oh, I feel like I know what she's going to say. Probably Diana from Vegas girl flying all the way over to Croatia and then getting the ferry over to Havar to come and say that she had held Harry Barron's hand crossing the road or something in Croatia.

And I was like, But I was like really produced to like have reactions and be pissed off and I kind of was but I was also like this is mental you've flown this girl all the way from Vegas to tell me that but okay getting the ferry over from Havar the ferry over from sorry from split to Havar fucking long old track that girl had to take so that felt really wild for me and then me and Sophie fell out which was horrible oh that's horrible and we both cried when we made it up it's really traumatic oh my god dear really traumatic I remember remember watching that. Yeah, it was a tough time for me. It was also like pre-jewel Botox and my jaw was just massive. I look, actually I think that was more jawantic. It was the size of the jaw.

The size of the jaw was horrendous. Yeah, that would have been my wildest moment, I think. Unless is anything I'm forgetting. It was sort of funny because you're sort of... Sam Thompson was also right knobbed that season. Yeah, he was. There was a lot of hands flying about and standing up. He was quite mean to me as well.

I'm like, don't be mean to a girl. Yeah, I agree. Don't like that. No. So for no reason, I didn't do anything wrong. That was my wildest mirror. Okay, I mean, that's pretty up there. It's quite fun, these are always cut into like pizza slices.

Rank the Kardash the Kardashians from Least to my favourite. Easily. Okay. Easily, I can do that? Can I guess three, two, one, who your top one is? Three, two, one. Kim. I thought you were such a Kim.

I'd add to her. Oh, I am. You love Kim. I love Kim. I'm going Kim. I don't change in my mind. I'm going Kim. Melissa was right.

I'm going Kim Right, who's next then? Best to us Okay, so I'm going Kim and then I'm going Kylie Then I'm going In terms of She's really thinking about this

So I'm going Kim, I'm going Kylie I'm going Courtney I'm then going Kendall Chloe I couldn't really Chloe does nothing for me Sorry What about Chris?

Chris I also think I like Chris But I'm not like there's others I'm more interested, involved in, involved in. And you feel like you can connect to you more. Yeah, I also just feel like, Kendall, I just think is so hot, but I'm like, I'm so uninterested. Really?

Kendall's more for me. Kendall and Kylie, I would say, a joint. I'm a big Kim Kardashian fan. I love her. I couldn't believe when I saw her live in the flesh. Oh, yeah. Thought I was literally going to pass out. I also, like, you know, you just hear really good things about a celebrity.

Like everyone's those nice things that she's. Such a dream to work with. You know that guy James Yates, Spencer Toby? Yes. He did a whole Dolce Jacob Barn like campaign with her. He was like in his underwear and everything. I know. And I think he said that she was an absolute delight.

So professional. So nice. I'm sure. I just even the way she was talking to waiters like so polite. Yeah. That's how you do that's how you should do it. I agreed. Right.

Ooh, this is an interesting one actually. Okay. If you could pick a reality show to be a cast member of what would you pick? Traders. Really? You'd be great on traitors. And I would want to be a faithful.

I'd be so fucking anxious being a traitor. Yeah, I think I would do. But I really think I can read people well. Yeah, I think you can. Like every single faithful that goes on that show that never gets the traitors. What about you? Selling Sunset. You and Gav.

Take over the world. That would be quite good. That would be quite fun. Selling sunsets. Selling Dubai? Selling Dubai? Selling Sydney. Selling Sydney.

I feel like there's a show called Selling Sydney if I made that. What was the show that Gavin was on before? Gav did Lux listings, which was on Amazon. He did three seasons of that, which did really well. But did we do it again? Yeah, he would. Right, am I asking you another question? Yeah.

Okay, it's me. What was your first impression of each other? I love this question. Oh my God, I love this. I remember it like it was yesterday. So do I. Right, you tell. I remember

So we Okay so Melissa and I met at a wedding We were both We both obviously were with our ex-boyfriends But we weren't invited to the ceremony But we were invited to the reception And the party We weren't invited to the dinner either

It was like the party after the dinner It was like the after after party So but it was out of London So we went with our boyfriends Who then were like right We're going to the wedding now So you've got to just like wait in a hotel room And it was quite boring

And then We had never never We'd never met. So the boys basically were like, you both have to wait till we're done. But they were like, go hang out. Go hang out together. So it was like forced fun. And we were like, okay. But I was actually just remember being relieved because I was like, oh my God, at least I don't have to wait on my own. Ruby scared me. And I guess, okay, at that point. Ruby scared me a lot. You know when you're like 20, and someone's like a year or too older and it feels. 22 and you were what? 22. And it feels like, whoa. Because I remember being at 20 and knowing people at 22 and I was like they're old. So I think. Even six months makes a big difference. Such a big difference.

You're like immediately in the back foot if you're younger. I remember being like she's so lovely and so pretty. That's what I thought. And I also knew that Harry had spoken so highly of you and I loved you. Sweetie. Bless it. That was nice. So I was excited to meet you but like I also had such different dresses back then.

I feel like I was like... Ruby was quite like edgy. Like there was lots of rings. I wore a ring on everything. Lots of earrings. Yeah. You were quite. gothy undertone actually.

It was a real emo girl. It was like an undertone of it. It was like everything was black. Everything was black, lots of silver jewelry. Chunky boots, vibes. Like I was almost like quite like tomboy. Yeah. Like quite like.

Where did that era go? I also think that there's so much that like goes in. Like I think it was just such a different time where like different trends were like. Do you remember those Prada boots you bought that were like? I still have them. I don't really know what to do with them. Keep them. They might come back in a mention.

They could. They're like this chunky boot. Yeah. Like, lol, my day-to-day wardrobe now could be used in like a Halloween outfit. They were really quite. They were. They were.

They were. Because they're also so tiny-weeny, you can pull it off. I also remember at that age, like, saving for items. And then, like, I just remember spending all my money on those Prada boots. Oh my God. Yeah.

And then not realizing that, like, you should have a bit of money left over. They were like two grand. Yeah. There was nothing left. Can't go out now, guys. Couldn't afford them. I'm on baked beans the rest of the week.

Bought them. had no cash, but it was like, thank God I've got the Prada boots. It's all that matters. That's all that matters. I remember being terrified. Really? Because Ruby was like in the fold of this friendship group. So her and res were on and off at this point for maybe six years or something.

Yeah. Maybe about six years. So Ruby knew everyone in this friendship group so well. And like Harry and Rez's friendship group had all known each other since they were 16. There's a lot of them. They're all really close. And Rubes obviously knew them all. from similar it, like, you were about 16 as well.

Let's just stop using the word 16. Well, that's okay. No, it's fine. You were like London, born and brown and you'd known everyone for ages. And then you'd been in that friendship group for a while. I had. So I was then also scared because I was like, oh my God, everyone knows her. She's going to think I'm just like the new girl.

And I don't know why you were so scary. And you were like, hi. I don't know how to just feel. You weren't that. I didn't feel like you were that warm to start with. And then towards the end of the night, we just became friends. We did. She just got really drunk, couldn't it?

Just solved all the problems. Obviously. But I remember being absolutely fatified. We did have a really good time. It was fun. We had a really fun time. And then after that, I think we just saw each other loads. Yeah, we did.

We did loads together. And also that friendship group were very social. So social. It was like twice a week. Yeah, we were seeing each other. Yeah. So we actually didn't meet on me and Chelsea. No.

And then I was filming, I think, quite soon after that. I had met you. My first ever seen I did on Maiden Chelsea was at both at a house with you and Sophie. Was it? Yeah. Because then I introduced you and Sof. Did I introduce you guys off camera? Yeah.

Where were we? Where were you met Sof for the first time? I don't even remember. Probably like 100 Wardle Street or something. Or like where was that other place we used to all the time? Rain. Rain nightclub? Yeah.

Yeah. Does that still exist? I don't know. We used to go on like a Tuesday. What we like? We like Tuesday? Rain? Shall we?

Shall we? I think where else would be good. I think for some reason that French group had loads of club promoters still in the French. This is when club promoters were a thing. I don't think they exist anymore. I also think clubbing was just more of a thing. It was. Oh my God,

I saw this thing the other day and it was like this stitched thing where these two young boys were like, oh my God, everyone here's 30. And then this guy comes on and he was like, we don't go clubbing anymore. So like you take the nightclubs. It's fine. We prefer day drinking in our 30s. It's so much better. You get to bed on a reasonable hour. You can do shit.

the next day and he was like, you take the nightclubs, guys. In my mind, my clubs absolutely don't exist. They don't exist. I also think, like, who goes to them? But then I'm like, I did once upon a time, so, like, they must. But I also think that the culture was different back then. It was. I don't think, it was. I actually feel sorry for, like, young people now because clubbing culture back then was insane. Like, I just remember just being so excited, the bandaged dresses. That is something that they're never going to get. Everyone's so casual these days. So casual. Like, the kids are going to be going in trainers. We have, we had to go, we were in stilettos.

Nine bras, nine hairs of lashes. We were back combing our hair. Oh, it was vibes. It really was. And then you get in and you do the lap and you're like, who's hair? Yeah. Anyway, that's half. Unless it was an embargoes might out, which in which case, obviously it was very cash.

Yeah, that was cash. But Maddox was dressed up, Drury. Drury. I used to love Drury. Yeah, me too. Wild. Wild. What time to be alive that was. Anyway. This is quite like lulls. Oh, God. What is it?

Maybe a bit of a sort of situation ship going on there. Just from the outside, that's what it would look like. It would look like that. I'm also like, why wouldn't they just date? Like, they seem quite fun together. Yeah, it looks like they're having a good time. They do. Friendships are always

Okay, this is the last one.

So we'll read out some of your gorgeous tiny love letters to the long distance besties just to make this time even harder. Okay, hi queens. I have to shout out my absolute rock of a best friend, Willow. I've been best friends with Willow since nursery and honestly I don't know what I'd do without her. We were each other's made of honors last year. We went to the same primary school but different secondary schools. Her secondary school was over an hour away. I have to tell you the moment I knew she was my ride or die. When I was in year 11, I got my first boyfriend. He was honestly

my first love. I was hell over heels. I dated him for eight months until one math class where he decided to break up with me in front of the whole class. Distraught, I instantly started crying and ran out of the room, called Willow from the bathroom during her free period. Cut to two hours later, Willow is at the school reception, pretending to be my older sister, telling the school receptionist I have a doctor's appointment. Willow is super tall, so she looks older than she is, and so the receptionist believed her.

We had a fun day out shopping and went to the cinema to see Selena Gomez and Montecalu. I love that there. Wow, me too. I never forget that day, and I'm grateful to be best friends of Willow every day. Love Hermione. Hermione, that's also one of your best friends It is. Oh my God, sweet. That is so lovely.

And I love it when people like the writing in to like acknowledge your best friend and like, like, putting pen to paper and like thinking about all the memories is like it's so touching, I think it's so sweet. Did you ever skip school? Oh God, I was a bit too scared if I'm honest. My one was boarding schools.

If he skipped school, they'd be like, Where are you? Yeah. You live here. Yeah, you have to be there. Yeah. Were you all in one? big room? Like sleeping?

No. You have your own room? Yeah. I just picture boarding schools that you're all in one room. I'm absolutely dead. No. I thought you'd all sleep in the same room. When you're younger, you have like two per room with a sliding door and then another two. And then do you get to a point where you have your own room? You have your own room. Oh wow. And your own own suite. How lovely. That's quite lovely actually.

Yeah. But quite fun sharing a room. Yeah, I'm sure. Okay. So we're going to do love letter number two. So hi, day one, tiny here. My love letter. better to my best friend has to go to Michael. Michael. We first met at university during our first freshness week, pre's in our student flat. It's funny because at first he hated me because I said my least favorite Kardashian was Kim. That's offensive. And he almost flipped a table. What? He moved to Mexico. There's a lot going on here. He moved to Mexico for work after uni, but we're still the best of friends. Every week, we always make time to call each other and have a

cheeky gossip. Now, of course, Kim is my favorite Kardashian, and I just wouldn't have it any other way. Love you, Michael, from Mimi. Hold on, I'm confused. So he didn't like Kim, but now he loves her. I think because Michael, the best friend, loves Kim, he's like converted Mimi to, like, loving Kim and how could Mimi love anyone else? Got it, got it, got it, got it. Oh, my God. God. How sweet. It's really nice and people like keep up the effort. Yeah, yeah. I agree. And you know what? Do you think the phone is, like, made? It's so easy for wanting to do that. You can literally just bring, anyone at any point. And even like we were saying like the communicating from just sending a

meme, sending like, yeah, there's other forms. There's so many forms of communication. Yeah. And like even if you're FaceTiming for literally five minutes. Yeah, just see what's all you need. It's all you need. I agree. Just walking to your Pilates class, quick FaceTime. That's what we do. I don't know, yeah, that's what we do. I don't know how people did it before FaceTime. Well, I don't think you'd write an email. You'd email someone or you'd Fed-F-Fax. Fax. I was about to say FedEx. A fax. Imagine fucking going to the fax machine. Imagine even before that writing a letter. I can't imagine.

Well, I mean... I like the right... I keep all my cards. Like, I quite like the writing down. But like, you can't do that as your main source of like comms. But anyway... You don't need to, no. No, thank God.
