We made it for another year, barely, but we made it through. And by the way, as it's the first of Jan, I'm now in a Netflix series that you can go and watch called Missing You, where I play a foot cam girl. Just go watch it and don't judge. Today, I've got my wife on the pardella. Okay, cool. I did force her on today. She wasn't meant to be on, but I thought, back.
Babe, I forgot you did that Netflix thing. Yeah, no, I blocked it out. I did have to go down and shoot pictures of me fondly with my feet. Like, yeah, I didn't do that. I want to first of all discuss, I know it's been a while, but we're filming this only like a week after I've come out. So I just want to discuss us on the bridge. Just on the bridge quickly. And reactions to me being away. How were you?
Um, I tried to hold my shit together, but I actually was in hell. I never want that to happen again. Yeah. And I was a show of myself. You were. My mum was like, worried. Yeah. My health. The mentors.
Yeah, not good, not good. No. And you met me across the bridge, which I didn't know was happening. Well, you was being cheeky inside because they was all telling me you was always asking if I was there. Yeah. And I thought, this surprise, of course you ruined it.
Of course you ruined the surprise. Yeah, I managed to find out that Ella had flown over because before I left I didn't know if she was coming or not because if she was allowed from football, right? And then one day I was in the bush telegraph and I went, yeah, could you just just let me know if Ella's landed safely? I had no clue if she was flying, but I was like, yeah, if you just let me know. And they went, yeah, just let you know Ella's landed. She's currently in the air, but she'll be landing soon. I thought, I have tricked the system. It was. Yeah.
And then you got me over the bridge. I should do that, babe. Do you know what's funny? The woman, before I went on, she went three second hug, turned to the cameras, right? So in my head, I was like three second hug, and I went to Ella turn around, and she went, no. I was like, no! Yeah, because I literally hadn't seen you. I know, and then we did a really awkward kiss on the bridge. Oh, babe. The fact that they aired that as well is criminal from everyone involved. Yeah, I thought. They thought us doing, like,
I was grabbing your head, giving it. It was like, you squeeze it like a stress ball. Yeah, of course. So it was quite stressed actually. That bridge is very wobbly and there was fire on it. I didn't care, but I know when I took that first step on the bridge, it felt like it was going to go from underneath me. Right. So I grabbed on, I think you'll see if you watch it back. I grab onto the thing before I get to you because I was shitting my ass. I don't know how you walked across the whole thing. Shitting your ass, cool. And also it's quite a humbling walk because there's just cameras and I was like, don't fuck this up. You said...
And I was, and that was the best day ever probably, and I think we'll top the feeling there. Yeah, I know. I was quite sad though. Yeah. No, to see you, it's like good sad. Okay, I was going to say. Yeah. And I just downed a prosthetic. And the first thing you said to me when you stepped off was, do you still love me? Yeah. And you were like, I do. And that's how I'm literally here.
I'm literally here. As well I was in there, I was having dreams that you were cheating on me, doing all sorts. I was like, I don't know what she's doing. Babe, little do you know, I was crying. Again, crying in my bed, I promise you I was crying. Yeah, you were doing that. Every night I was crying. Yeah. I was getting the dogs, cats in the bed, just trying to feel the void. You know how I feel about dogs in the bed, so.
I know, I feel the same about dogs in the bed, but I had to get something with me. And also, Ella doesn't just have like a little chow chow. Don't screw your nose up at Coco. I've just seen how you've looked. No, she doesn't have a little like Pomeranian. She has a fucking chow chow. It's the size of a bear and it's on my side of the bed. It is really cute. I don't really have that much of a bond with Coco. That's really sad because that's it. She's my child. I know, but you don't really like my cane. I love her so much. I don't mind Monty, but he does attack me.
Cool. Anyway, it's good to be back with you. Yeah, I'm so happy to be back with you. Shall we discuss last night? Well, last night when we're filming this was Wembley. It was. I took over the oval. You did do that. And there was a lot going on. There was a lot going on. Let me just preface that I can't even say half the stuff.
that actually went on, so you're gonna get a surface level debrief here, but I will still put in things, but some of the shit. I don't know if it was a full moon last night. People were acting like they'd just been released. Like it was, and you couldn't back this. No, it was, it was a wild, wild night. So pack it out, pack it in, let's begin. So I get there and I do my solo pod, which you'll see from, I think it was like the jungle debrief. I filmed that as soon as I got there.
Then I go to get my dress fitted. The rice and beans have worked. I am literally a grain of rice. I had to be sewed into this heavy fucking dress. I've lost my tits. So there was nothing to keep it up. And to be honest, I barely had tits anyway, didn't I? Like your mum always says like, you've got no tits, but your tits are bigger than mine. No, they ain't. So they are. All right. Should we have a test now? Should we have a tit off? I haven't even got a handful. I haven't got a finger full.
Like you couldn't even lift it up with a pinky. Come on now. We do have fun. We do have fun. Anyway, so you've had a football match. You're on your way back. That was stressful. All I need is you. You're not here. Yeah, you did say that. That hurt my heart. And then I start getting my glam done, which was actually amazing. I haven't seen my glam team since before I left the jungle. So it was amazing to have a debrief. Elliot Hackney got me some rice and beans. I thought that I needed actually. I see them on the side. They looked.
Rigo. Malnary. Never said Rigo in my life. Rigo. It was Rigo. Anyway, and then I have to go out to do my sound check. Shouldn't have seen the arena before I went out because it was actually very big. It was massive, babe. Not the massive babe. Yeah, it was huge, wasn't it? But the set looked amazing. I think you saw it when it was nearly done.
I didn't know it wasn't. It was like being done. Yeah. But when I was sat in my seat and I saw it all, it looked so magical and Christmassy. It really did. I feel like we really went with the brief of Christmas. Yeah. And we fulfilled that, especially my dress. Absolutely. I looked like a present. You looked like a princess. No, you did. You looked like...
Mrs. Claus. Really? Just Mrs. Claus. Mrs. Claus. You're on the naughty list this year. Yeah, I am. Come on. Anyway, sorry, guys. Everyone's just muted it now. Anyway, so then I do, I do my sound check, I get finished, ready, whatever bar, and then I do my meet and greet. It was so nice to see everyone again. Back in business, everyone was cracking me up because they were all asking about the jungle and they were like, was it actually hell? And I was like,
You have no idea. You have no idea. And then I came back and you were in the room. I came to a, what is it? Beef brisket. Yes. We got Wagamama's course. Yeah, I came to that. I inhaled that in one spoonful and got indigestion wherever it's for. Yeah, it's bad. I was like, I can't breathe. Like when it goes down too slow. Oh, God. No, it was too fast. Oh, no. I felt like it was here. Really in your chest. Yeah. And then when I saw you, I thought, you look
So I'm saying, oh, yeah, but she became a mew. I was like, Ellen, she just did that, like... I was like, I was fucking in shock. Lost for words, if you will. Then I had to do my press pics, did all my press pics.
Babe, that whole thing, I don't know how you deal with that. I didn't. I actually was in a nasty mood, wasn't I? And then I came back to the dressing room like, finally. I always get the brunt of it. Yeah. And then everyone, they're like, Babe, love you. She's like, I need a minute. She was like a monster. I was like, OK, she needs a minute. Everyone give her a minute.
and then I came back and everyone was in my dressing room and then everyone left and then more people came in my dressing room and then Elliot comes in like 10 minutes till you're on and I hadn't even written my intro and I was like Elliot was trying to kiss me and I just went can we all just shut up and everyone went quiet
No, the funny thing, they don't know what the dressing room looks like. So far, like lovely, massive dressing room, aren't it? So far. And then you've got your bit where you get ready and then curtains. And I just remember everyone was around you and you said, I need a minute. And I just sat on the chair in complete silence, like, on eggshells. And the curtains closed and you're just stood there like...
I was breathing and I was like, this is intense. I didn't know this is what it would be like. And then my manager comes up to me and she gave me some sort of inspirational speech. Even I had goosebumps. She was like, you, a GK Barry. You fucking have to do yourself every time.
She was fucking go out there and smash it. And I was like, yeah, I will. She came through. That was a brilliant speech. Even I felt like, put me on that fucking stage now. And then I opened the curtains, went straight out. You did do that. I felt violently sick before the curtains opened. Got the funny I said to you last night, because I'd seen you and how you were back, because people don't probably don't realize, because the way you came onto the stage,
i was like fuck you were so different like you was nervous like literally a wreck backstage so you stepped on that stage i thought you fucking i can always pull it together when it comes down to pulling it together rock the shit out of that sir but i pray for anyone even on tour that sees me prior to the show because i am it's not even that i'm nervous it's just like
It's so hectic. No one knows how hectic it is before a show. And everyone's already drunk. Apart from me, the person that needs to be drunk wasn't drunk, was I? No, you wasn't. But you don't have to be. You went out there. I promise you now, you was everything you needed to be. You absolutely smashed it. Yeah, that's my girl. Yeah. Yeah. And then we had Jamie Lang, first guest.
That that had me in stitches. He is so funny. One thing about Jamie Lang is I love that man. I've known him now for a couple of years and he will always like that was a favor from him last night. But he did that as a favor. That's really sweet. And actually that was probably one of the best parts when he was there because I thought you two just bounced off each other. Yeah. And he's so fucked because we're so different as well. Jamie is so posh that I went, what you did for Christmas? He was like, well, it's black tie.
Of course it is. Silly V. So he was amazing. Then we had Bimini come on, and they did a death drop. And Jamie didn't know what a death drop was. Best believe he did it on stage. Yeah, and the fud. The fud. He was just so good doing it like. Yeah, Jamie does it. And it was like.
the fud was crazy. I thought we weren't going to get back up. And his hat flew off and I thought, and then he'd come back up and it was backwards. And he was like, but no, they were absolutely amazing. And Bimini's got a new latex clothing line coming out. They have got a fashion line and also a podcast called pieces. So go and check it out. But yeah, they were both absolutely incredible first guests. Sensational.
And my, so basically I got in is, so I got a mold of my ears put like done before I went to the jungle and I didn't have time to try them out. So before I'm going on stage, they put these in is in my ears. You cannot hear a fucking thing apart from Elliot talking and my own voice. I just want you to imagine listening to your own voice loud in your ear and nothing else. I thought I'm going to vomit everywhere.
Babe, you know that's probably what people have hearing aids, actually. Yeah. Well, no, because I couldn't hear anything else apart from me. Yeah, but it's so like amplified. Oh, maybe you'll write me. You know what I'm saying? I hear you. So like when, when, when Jelly Man taught. Yeah. He can hear himself. He always says that. Really? Yeah. That must be awful. Echo-like. Yeah.
Not echo-like. So I need to say this because I don't know if I was on top form here because I couldn't hear anything. When I came out of it sounded like this was the reaction from the crowd. Woo!
So I was like, shit, no one likes me. So I was a bit off. And then my ears, I sat funny and they just popped out as in of the thing. So they're still in my ear, but there's no sound. So I can't hear really at going five minutes left. So on stage, I have to go, can anyone come and help me? I can't hear anything.
So I had to carry on the convo with Bimini and Jamie while not being able to hear a fucking thing. I don't know that I feel like that should be awarded because that was a lot for me. I dealt with that while I was like a queen. It was like a queen thing. And then we go to second half. I'm going to talk to you about what is it called an interval? The interval. You went there. I went. I was like, babe, what are you? I didn't actually say, should I come? But I thought I hear you. Yeah.
I get back in my dressing room and again, every bastard is in this dressing room. And I'm like, I really do need five minutes. I didn't get five minutes. My parents were like already drunk. And I thought, please, a tap was there. That was already pissed so far as well. And then second half comes. This was the best thing I've ever seen in my life. When I tell you, it was like,
It was like Celine Dion. Okay, well, no spoilers, please babe. Sorry. I have Dina Moron. We talk about the jungle and a funny thing is we had a big up Mickey and Peter from ITV. We had, so the woman Mickey, who got me on, I'm a celeb, she came. She's so lovely. She's lovely. And we were just talking about the jungle and like the most traumatic bits and I thought, Paul Mickey,
People were like, thinking it's a laugh and a joke. Like, are you using a five-star hotel? Yeah, and everyone was like, I bet you didn't even use the doney. And I was thinking, you have no idea what I've just been through. Yeah, there is actual, there's realness to what you did. Yeah. So you just shared it. I think it was, I opened him. I think it was funny as well. Yeah, it was very funny. Um, yeah, then I said, right, let's end the show.
Babe, no, stop it now. Okay, you tell me how this came across. Right, so you get up and you go, ain't it funny that I can play the piano. You stop walking over to piano and everyone's looking at me like, can she play the piano? And I'm there like, yeah, of course she can. I've never seen you play a piano in your life. But I was like, yeah, she can play. You can do that. You sat down. And I was ready for you to start fucking giving it a bit of, who's that? Elton John. Elton John.
I was ready for you to start bashing the keys. Yeah, that was sensational. And then I didn't. I lied for you. Thank you. I appreciate that. I'd love for you. Okay. Anyway, and then Celine Dion is all coming back to me now. If you watch the show, you'll know that Moira butchered Celine Dion. So I thought, cool. This is her time to make up for that.
More so backstage what you don't know is I went up to more and I went you because the she said at the rap party which arguably I should have known we were all drunk. When do you want to sing at my show and more was like yeah yeah like let's fucking do it great. I thought you never are so cool. I just didn't speak to her again until the show. So I go in our dressing room and I go more like are you still okay to sing and she went what.
And I was like, are you like Celine Dion? And she was like, I'm not doing that. And I was like, no, no, Moira. It was like, I get really bad stage fright. And I thought, so I said, right, me and Dean will help you out. That wasn't part of the plan, but me and Dean will help you out. So we get on stage and stage fright, who Moira gets on this mic and is doing like camp rock knees.
Like, she actually was incredible. No, it was, it was, if you wasn't there, you missed out big time. Everyone had their phone lights up. It was like, Coldplay, you know, when... No, I'm not joking. Yellow comes on. Yeah, everyone's lights are on. I was looking around like...
who don't know Hannah Montana. And then she's favourite. And then me and Dean would be in her back in singers, but I didn't know the lyrics. Babe, you and Dean, I said it to you, a comedy act. Like, I was obviously watching Moro because she was singing style of the show. Of course. But YouTube behind her was the best thing I've seen since sliced bread. Dean turned into like a buttons performer because obviously it's
He's like, everyone on your feet. It was like an eight minute song. So towards six minutes in, people were like, we'll probably sit down now. Dean is like, everybody up on your feet. Let's fucking go, like running around the stage. And I was like, okay, everyone got back up and I thought I needed that. And you're blind as anything. So you're like trying to sing with more. I could she shout and sing with her. I can just see you look at these big lyrics and you could not get a word out.
It was so big as well. What was coming out your mouth was just noise. You know what's funny? I couldn't hit shock. My ears broke again. So I couldn't hear myself. So I was like, oh, my mic's probably lower because Boris is really high. And I've looked back at videos and I'm like, nah, really now.
It was horror. That was the best thing I've ever seen. It was so lovely to see him both again. I feel like it didn't really get shown in the show how good friends we all were as a three in there. So being able to show everyone that we were good friends and Dean was hilarious. He was on form. On form. Top form. I was going to say on point slash top form. So that's why I said on form. You just didn't too much.
I'm sorry, I do, I do apologise. And then we did a giveaway with Maybelline, their Teddy Tin. And there's this, so, let me tell you about this girl, she's so lovely. She came to one of my other tour dates. I can't remember what date it was, and I think it might have been Wales. But she came and she came on her own then, right?
And I remember saying to her at the meet and greet, I was like, listen, you're going to make friends. Like everyone who comes to these shows are so lovely. And she was like, yeah, okay. Then she came back and saw me this time. And she went, I made friends that I've stayed in contact with. And they're coming to this show as well. So they were a few rows behind her, but she came on her own again. She absolutely had amazing times. So when I saw she, I'm not going to lie, I was favoritizing her. They had to do an impression of me. And she did one about the lead. But she did smash it.
Mashed it, she was like, dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah dah
Use that Santa baby, I thought, I'll throw. I'll throw to whatever I have. Anyway, and then the show finishes. The finale, you have to speak about the finale. So the song ends. They go off. They go off and I go, you know, thank you so much for voting for me. The jungles put me blah, blah, blah.
Have a happy, what was it? Have a good five. You went and all I said to say is I have a fucking good Chris. Good. I said have a good fucking Christmas. The whole arena erupts in confetti bombs and it just like the whole ring. The bang literally had everyone night.
Yeah, it had me shook because Elliot said before he went, the bang's going to be loud, right? So just, you know, just be prepared for that. So I was like already clenched when I said, have a good fucking Christmas. I was like hunched over. And the whole arena just went crazy. Everyone was like, and then I walked out. Yeah, it was great. It was a great ending. And this is where the trouble begins.
Let's not speak about it. Every fucker's in my dressing room. Let's not. No, I won't. I won't do bad things. OK. I'll overdo. I'll overdo the good overview. Oh, OK. Every bastard's in there. So I'm doing the rounds. Thank you for coming. Did you enjoy amazing things so much? Someone's telling my dad he's fit. I've got my two hairdressers in a room.
One of them starting on the other one. I've then got my uni friends in the corner going, what the fuck is going on? Everyone is blackout drunk.
I was so sober. So, yeah, Ella doesn't drink, right? No, honestly, at that point, I was like, where is Alita bottle of vodka let me down to now? I don't even drink, but I was like, need to be not sober right now. The people that do, so they're called TEG, they do, like, do my tours, whatever. The guy comes in with two bottles of wine and he said, you need this.
And I thought, thank you so much because I'm actually in hell. It was just, there was so much going on guys that I can't even. It was like, to put it into words, EastEnders. Like every Christmas special of EastEnders where someone's been pushed down the stairs or whatever, that was exactly what it is. Yeah, no, it wasn't. Do you have any notes from that?
I was just sat. Do you know what's actually funny? Because I was so sober. I was sat just looking around thinking, everyone is mash up. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. The conversations that were going on, I was like, babe.
Yeah, I think we probably should go. Yeah, no, I looked at Ellen. This is the first time in my life that I have ever left somewhere early and wanted to do so. Yeah. Every in my life. I was like, we have to go. But that's a good sign that everyone had a great time. Yeah, like the fact that everyone was that drunk. I've never seen any people like that drunk.
I don't know why everyone was that drunk as well. And I was thinking like maybe with my family, it's the jet lag and whatever. And everyone else I don't really have an excuse for. Maybe it was all the free because I had eight bottles of Prosecco on my rider for my dressing room, right? Out of those eight bottles, I had two glasses of wine and they were all gone. Yeah. All gone.
Yeah, I popped open like four for people in the last bit. Yeah, and I was like, can you do this? And I was like, yeah, my manager came over to after really holding me together. She was, I clocked. I was like, you are red wine drunk. She was like, me.
And I was like, and I'm going home. And I'm leaving. So we then walk out the hotel. I've got this 50 ton dress. This was the best thing I've ever seen. In a bag. But it looked like, you know, like sandal. You know when Robin, is it Robyn? It was a tiny one bag. Had the sick and the sick, the sick and the bag on his back. It was like that. It was so heavy. I was waddling about. All my uni friends were like, no case in one hand. Case in one hand. Back in the other.
Yeah, and you was just like, and I think when I got back to the hotel, I clocked, I was drunk. I was like, right, I am a bit drunk because you got me a massive flask of Prosecco to take away. And you were like, just drink this. And even then, I was like, if I drink that, it's game over for me. It's not going to be good. No, I won't make it today. Yeah.
And we ordered burgers. And we did order burgers. I can't read out. Was it? So what? Like you. Spicy hot. Now I promise you. Oh spicy. Oh my god. Really? And do you know how I know that that was too much? Me and Ella went straight to sleep. We did. I don't even think we spooned. No we did. Did we? Yeah, you broke me up to make me. Oh yeah, of course. Well, otherwise, you know. But no, that's how I know last night was a lot.
Because usually maybe I try and slip a finger in my mouth. Okay. You need to. What would I say?
No, you need to take that in that moment because that was really special. I can't take that in. I'm going to have to block out Wembley for the rest of my life. And also, I don't think I was on good form. You was on great form. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. That's the first time I've seen you live and I've barely enjoyed. I would go to every show. I would advise everyone to go to all the shows because that was the best thing I've ever experienced. And your whole family was there. Yeah. My whole family came here.
That's the first time they've ever seen me as well. Yeah, and they were all laughing everyone's having a great time babe Honestly, I wish you could have been on the stage and in and the stands with us Yeah, because the vibes were immaculate. It was funny your family was the only one that didn't drink Everyone was sober, but everyone was loving it and to be honest. Thank God, but yeah They were all sober and they still enjoyed it and that's how you know Yeah, that's how you know and wouldn't it be absolutely fucking mental if I did at all next year ha tickets are out and
So maybe you should go buy them. I think next year I'm just going to go all out. Really all out and just fucking have it large. I'm doing it in September. So when you're at uni, you can have all your uni friends there. You can make a night out of it. Let's not relive Cambridge because everyone was actually insanely drunk at Cambridge and I was scared for my life.
I know genuinely, Bobos, if you knew me back then, oh my God, Cambridge was insane. Really? Yeah, yeah, there was a lot going on. But I'm doing Cambridge again. So let's redo it, guys. Yeah, so by tickets for the tour, I'm going to get amazing guests. Because I've got more mates now. I mean, I've got more connections from the jungle. And so I'm going to do that. And I mean, if the guest is shit, my bad, but they'll be fine. I'll be there.
Yeah, that's the main thing, you're there. I'm there. And I'll have a good outfit. Also, I couldn't sit down in my outfit. It was like, I don't know how to describe it, it was like wood. A backstage. I just remember like, we were just sat on this so far. And you were like, sitting so awkwardly, I've never seen you in my life. If I can move this now, you were like... Start. And I was like, babe, you can sit back and use like...
like Tin Man. So slowly. And even when I was back, I was like there. Yeah. And then you just laid there like not moving. I thought the struggle like the struggle was real. Yeah. Beauty is pain. And that's one thing I've learned. And also I thought I'd be going out there in a football kit. Nor cause she went back. That is you. No seriously. I've got athletes for you are actually an athlete. How do you feel about my athletes for her?
Be honest now. Do you want me to say like what I really... Yeah. You showed me it. I promise you. The skin. You were peeling a whole other foot. That was nasty. You were shedding like a snake. You were his babe. No one tells you what it's like. I never thought in my life I'd get athletes because I'm an athlete.
I don't even get athletes for it. You have had athletes for it, so don't lie. You have had that. No. I lost my toe now. I feel fucking sick. I hate when you say that. Well, I am. It makes you sick. He was stepping on my toes. I have.
Who's seven of my girlfriend's toes? That's part of being a footballer, baby. I do lose my tone eyes, but athlete's foot is like a stretch. So when you said you had that, I did feel for you because it is really sore. Is it? I didn't feel anything. Did you not? Everyone was like, it's really itchy. I was like, I promise you, if I didn't look at the bottom of my foot, I wouldn't have known.
It's like itchy and sore and just like not nice. Which is okay. That's okay. But you know what, I got it done. You got fruit now. I finished it and yeah, I did that. If you feel like you missed out on my show, you can watch on YouTube right now. It was live from like Christmas Eve and Christmas Eve. Was it? Yes, we can rewatch it and I can probably cry. That's so exciting. Oh, while watching that.
No, you'll be able to really... I can make notes. No, you'll enjoy it. Really? Yeah. I promise you, it was such a good night. Well, you can watch that as your new... while you're all hung over. Babe! We can now see what we did for New Years. Because this will be out New Years Day. We're going to a fucking pub. We're going to a fucking pub. She's going to a fucking pub. We're going to New York. We have it. Do you know what we say when we do it? Yeah. We're going to a pub. The young guys have changed me. We're going to a pub in Dartford.
Yeah, we are doing that. All the family is going to be there. All the family is going to be there. I'm going to snog your face. I'm going to snog your fucking face. I am more scissor at 1am.
You know it was crazy actually last night you kept saying about scissoring right and my mum was there and I promised you I had both hands over ears and she was like, it's too late. She heard it and I was like, and Jamie kept going. He was like, so did you actually, I was like, my parents are here, your parents are here, your mum's here. But you didn't care. You was like, yeah, we finally did that.
What was it that he said he, oh that, I think it was more in Dean, they were like, and did you scissor the night after you came out? I was like, yeah, we didn't, I lied. I did lie, we didn't scissor. We do it this whole time, I feel like it's like, it's become a thing. We've probably done it at a handful of times. Hand put like three times, I would say. Like it is a big fat joke, right? And we both know that. Yeah, of course, but no one else does. We did enjoy it. And can I also just preface that everyone's taking the piss out of our CPR role play, but I need everyone to know it. Do you wanna lay me down that fucking table and do it now?
That was, that what that may be uncomfortable. Sorry. Are you really uncomfortable? I need to preface what happens, because it's not during, it's not a horny thing. Well, it is to me. My manager came up to me after I said it on unpacked and she went, that's when we were really uncomfortable that you do get naked. And I was like, would you? No, no, no, we don't do it naked.
Should we re-enact what we do? Okay, okay, right, this is what we do. This will just be like normal, right? So we'll just, in the day, this will happen. So we'll just do like watching TV or like eating dinner and I'll just be like, right. So she does that and then I go, can we clear the area please? And then I'll check her breathing and I'll go, right? She's not breathing everyone step back and then I'll go.
Then I'll give her the kiss alive, and then she'll carry on for a little minute, and then I'll... And then, and then I'll give you a kiss, and then you'll do this. And then... And then I will...
We don't address that, we've done it. It is funny, but when we did it in front of Hannah, we did it as soon as we came out, do you remember when I came out of the jungle? Hannah was like, that's made me really uncomfortable. I thought I'd be got that from Miss Girl. We did, because Ella's sister's a paramedic, right? Yeah. So she'll tell us about her day and we're like, we're so proud of her. So we're like, let's be paramedics. So the only way we could actually do that was if I died and then give me CPR. Because it's not the same when I die.
Is it? You don't really know what to do. Like, I've got it covered. No. But, yeah, I just need everyone to know it's not a sexual thing. Like, I'm quite embarrassed that people think it's a sexual thing. And the scissoring thing. Like, when we got out, when I got out the jungle, and this was like, as soon as I'd got out, I'd literally just touched down at the hotel.
This old woman came up to me and Ella and just went, mm-mm. Hey, you see her in tonight. In reception. He shouted it, and I just panicked and went, yeah. I was like, gobsmacked. Yeah, I was shocked, and everyone was turning around, I thought. She's like, ah, to Google it. I was like, oh!
Yeah, I need everyone to know we're not like avid scissorers and we're not avid like CPR role players. No, we're just, we just have fun. We do it with clothes on. Sorry? We just have a bit of fun. We do have a bit. We do have fun. We do have fun. And that's it, really. So you missed out what you got me for Christmas. I haven't got you anything. Naughty.
I joke and I actually asked never don't ask I said I've got everything I want. Yeah, but it's really difficult. I've paid for 10 sessions with your eyelashes. You did do. You are eyelashes. Yeah, I've got my lashes done and I went to pay and my last girl was like, you've already paid. And I was like, no, I haven't. She was like, no, but she did. And I was like,
I was so happy. Yeah. Then she's like 10 more sessions. I was like, that's my fucking girl. Is that really? You did do that. I did do that, babe. Because you are eyelashes, so. Well, you give me the names and I've got her. What have you got me? Well, I've ruined the surprise. I've asked for a dressing gown and a poached egg pan. But the poached egg pan is from my mother's house. This girl, I promise you right. She is the most sentimental person I've ever met in my life. Like, she would rather...
If I give, if there was a Louis Vuitton bag and like fucking a jar with all the things that I love about you in, you'd go for the jar. 100%. Like when I first started getting into cooking for Ella, when I wasn't burning things, I said to my parents, I'd like an air fryer. I'm from my birthday, my 25th birthday. I got an air fryer. Want me an air fryer? So I could carry on cooking for you. I literally want to cry at you. I know, I'm really cute. So just,
And we're not spending Christmas together either are we? Because I want to spend it with my family and she wants to spend it with her family. It is quite sad. So we're going to be a part Christmas Eve... But at some point... Boxing day. No, I promise you, on Christmas day, we're going to find a way. Really? We'll probably go dogging on the M25. Meet you half way. Be half way. Black eyed bees.
It's not funny, is it? Right. Anyway, back to what we call when you got out. Right. It was hectic. Yeah. So you'd already been, OK, I'm going to say this story. I'm going to say it. What are you going to say? So be careful, right? When I got out, you know, well, they don't tell you is you have to go straight into press. And Ella wasn't allowed to join me for any of this. Really weird because I always take your girlfriend to work day. Yeah, it's always take your girlfriend to work day as did she was. She said, she's coming all the way to me tomorrow.
Anyway, so it was not take your girlfriend to work day then, so I was like, no, I was like that. Do you remember two seconds? So anyway, I have to leave. So Ella's already made friends with specifically Jane's two daughters. They are. They're like this. They're my favorite people I've ever met. So lovely, honestly, lovely girls. I didn't know all of this. I thought Ella was just going to be crying over me the entire time, which is very selfish. And you were technically, but you were also having fun. Yeah.
So I finish. Funds are stretch. No, you were just coping. I was just like, they were just my support system out there and I really appreciate that. So then I'm like to Ella, where are you? And she's like, I'm just sat around the pool, like waiting for me.
We was playing cards. You're playing cards. All of a sudden, I just got this like jealousy. She did. So I was like, see you whenever then, sat in the, I was like, I'm in the room, see you whenever. And then I sat on the balcony, it's like a scene. I think I was overwhelmed. Sorry, or as well, the balcony overlooks the pool so you could literally see me. So I was staring at Ella.
And I was like crying, like something out the notebook. I was like crying, like wiping my tears, watching her play cards. And then you come up to the hotel room and you've got your card, so I had to let you in. But I was imagining you come in the room and come out into the balcony and you're like, what's wrong? So it ruined that. So I had to open the door and you were like, what's wrong? I was like, nothing.
She was like, what's wrong babe? And I went back and sat on the balcony and I had like this mental breakdown. She did. I was like, you just, you just don't even care that I'm out. And you know, I've just been waiting for you. And I'm just really upset. And Ella was like, what the fuck is going on? And then I clocked halfway through. Rosie's finger. Yeah. You were probably sat in that room for five, five minutes. No, I was in there for five minutes babe. That was it. Like I was waiting for you. I wasn't going to wait in the room and cry.
And do you know what's funny? Halfway through having a go at you. I clocked. I was wrong. Like I clocked. This is stupid, but I'd already started. So I had to finish and then you were like, it wasn't like that. I was like, yeah, you're right. And then we just made up. Yeah. Hold on.
Right. But yeah, we did do that. But then we went out for dinner with my parents and Hannah. Yep. I was really disappointed because I wasn't allowed to eat anything because my stomach had shrunk. I was weird as well because you was like everything. I mean, it tastes like shit. It was pissing me off because imagine after a month of not eating what you want and just dreaming of food. And when you get out and finally able to eat, it tastes like shit. It was like heart breaking and soul destroying. It wasn't a bad mood. The next day though was lovely. It was the final.
Oh yeah. We all went up to see everyone. No, it wasn't. No, it wasn't. They went on unpacked. So I had to leave you again. You did do that, yeah. I don't even remember what we did. But yeah, it was just written and then we all had dinner as a whole group, like all of us. Yeah, that was really cool. Yeah. These chefs were like flicking food at our heads and stuff, weren't they?
And my mum, like she was too embarrassed to like catch it in her mouth. So she'd catch it around and like throw it in her mouth herself. It's like a ninja. Yeah. And then it was the final and we all go up on the bus and we do all that. We watch the final. We're all like, and then we come back for the three claps. Oh my God, the claps. Let's go out to do it once.
No, it's not for the week. Props to everyone that had to do it every day because the claps. But you need to actually elaborate on what the claps are. Oh, yeah, it's not chlamydia. So we all need to talk about those. Anyway, yours is looking crazy the whole time you went up to the camera and you just got a white patch around your four or four.
So, you have to wait in the lobby for like 20 minutes because they're like, right, every, the theme of telly is hurry up and wait, right? They rush you in to then be like, now you need to wait 40 minutes. That's what this whole like TV is, right?
So you get rushed into the lobby and then you have to wait there for 20 minutes for them to get there. Then you stand there and you do a clap. But no one comes in and just, you know, it's never in and out is it? It's honestly about a 15 minute of just woo.
I think one of Jane's daughters was like, look at my hand. She had blisters and blisters, bruises and blisters. She was like, that's from the clapping. Yeah. And on the final, we had to do it three times. And obviously I know first world problems, like people are working in A&E and like really long shifts. So I'm, you know, I'm not complaining, but I am complaining. It was so long. I mean, it's, I mean, it's, but I think it's nice to when you look, come out, that's what you get.
It was really nice. And you know what, when I came out, I remember getting the clouds and being like, me. It was really sweet. And to see everyone's families. Yeah. It was insane. Yeah, it was weird because when people were coming out, I was like, they was like, this is L.R. to me. And I was like, hi. And then whoever was coming out were like, I had so much about uniform. And more. Set me off. Oh, my God. More and made me cry by the pool. I was literally sobbing like a baby. She was like, I wish Grace spoke about. No.
No, I wish someone spoke about me the way Grace speaks about you. And that... Set Ella off for about 40 minutes. When I got there. But that was like, I was sobbing by the pool. Because I was doing that. And I remember saying to Talisa, I went, guys, imagine if she's just learned how to live without me and doesn't want me when I get out. And Talisa slapped that out of me, not literally, but like through words. Yeah, she slapped that shit out of me. So now I feel like now we've come out. We've come out. I've come out.
We just love each other so much. I loved you before, but I want to put you in my pocket in a little jar of vinegar so you're preserved and just take you everywhere with me all day long. Sometimes I think you're so sweet. I just want to smash your head with my hands.
And we got matching tattoos. We did do that. Do you want to explain the story behind these tattoos? Yeah, I will do that. So I was on the plane on the way to you. By myself, by the way, Raw docked it by myself. If they wanted to, they would. I landed in China, let me tell you. South of China, that's where I landed. That's my girl. Get off the plane.
I literally felt alien like i was like what is going on because that was the 14 hours was there get into the cubicle to go to the toilet open the door the toilet seat goes up by itself i said cool i sit down i go away i get up the toilet flushed itself yeah
They are so far ahead than anyone as well over there. How's the toilet lifting itself up and flushing itself? Yeah, without even. They don't want germs. And that's a country I can live in. I could live there. You know I've got issues of germs. Seriously, babe. I was gobsmacked at that point.
this is I'll never forget any of course yeah right anyway so anyway that what was I saying four four four four so I was on the plane yeah and I was like woke up and I looked at the time yeah or forty four minutes past four yeah so I was like
Okay, didn't think anything of it. Yeah. Then I, the next day I get there, stay awake the whole day. Then I fall asleep at 3pm in Australian time, wake up at 11pm. So I don't know what time it is over here, but obviously my body was like wake up. Yeah. I then go from 11pm to the next day, nighttime. Yeah. So I go to the beach.
Go to normal phone up to FaceTime mum, the times four, four, four. I don't know why it just stuck in my head. So when you came out, I said it to you and we looked it up and it means there's two meanings. So it's an angel number and it's like you're basically where you should be. Like you're in the right place with the right person, which is correct. And then it also stands for
Or better? Yeah, this is really gay. This is why I've called forever. No, for better for whatsoever. Yeah, and that is us. So, yeah, we're fucking gay, literally. And that's it. And that's been our life since we got out. We did do that. So, do you want to say anything else before we end? No. Okay. New Year's resolution. New Year's resolution, probably just to eat your bum. Well, sure. I like that. You like that? Yeah, I do.
My new year's resume. I don't really do that. Right. Well, that's good. Right. Well, thank you for watching. Sorry. Make sure. Sorry. I just think it's weird that people go on New Year's Day. I'm going to be a fucking saint. Yeah. I'm going to do everything. And it lasts till I think if you're going to change your life, you can literally do it tomorrow. That was lovely. Why have you got to wait for the first of fucking de January to go? It's not the de January.
