In short

A “Best Of Part Two” episode featuring Chris Ramsey and Rosie Jones chatting about TV/celebrity experiences, relationships, social class, parenting/half-term life, and awkward “say the wrong thing” moments, plus stories from I’m a Celebrity…Get Me Out of Here and other shows.

Guests

No named guests appear in the transcript. The episode is a conversation between hosts Chris Ramsey and Rosie Jones (with recurring references to other TV personalities, e.g., Greg Davies, Ant & Dec, Ruby Wax, and “Gladiators”/Strictly figures).

Guest backgrounds (referenced people)

Greg Davies is referenced as a possible interviewee; Ruby Wax is mentioned as a celebrity they expect to meet again; Ant & Dec are referenced as presenters; Svenny and “Tom” are referenced as acquaintances/friends, not formal guests.

Key claims

They discuss “holiday friends” vs jungle friendships; needing silence vs enjoying people; social-class perceptions; sunscreen/SPF habits (“spoof”); and a “sharks must keep swimming” analogy. They also debate whether a partner should love more than you love them.

Notable examples

Steve’s loud “I’ve shot my load” at a family meal; correcting “insomniac” to “hypochondriac” during a taxi ride; Chris’s “glow up” via skincare/SPF and haircuts at Harrods; jungle routines without phones and the “Hunger Games” feeling of timing.

1:26Just a street clap. And you're clapping yourself. The loneliest claps in Britain.

1:30Rosie Ramsey:Let's add some applause into that. Thank you very much. Thanks so much for coming. Thanks for having me. And having a chat with us. It's absolutely lovely to see you. Yeah. I don't know what it's like working with you. Must be awful, innit? What? Just us two. Working with your partner. Oh, right. Okay. Do you know what? We love it. It has its moments. It's not always plain sailing. No. But it's actually, I've got to tell you, right, the one nice thing is I don't know about you while you've been in this industry a long time it can sometimes be really daunting when you start something on your own doing it with your partner you don't really get that feeling does that make sense?

2:07Yeah and you weirdly seem to get on well

2:09Rosie Ramsey:Me too! I know it's sick isn't it? It's sick I was really worried there because he was like we're at your partner and I went oh no we love it and then you went into a long tirade I was like oh shit I've really left myself open here Chris likes it more than me Does he? Yeah Chris like Chris will do it forever he likes you more than you like him yes but that's what you're meant to do you're meant to marry as a woman maybe more you're meant to marry someone who loves you more than you love them is that right? first I'm hearing this in front of Greg Davies this is well upsetting how does that feel?

2:39yeah I mean I'll let you know when I've absorbed it I'll let you know when I've sort of ran it through my head ladies

2:45Rosie Ramsey:marry someone who loves you more but it's on the L of love you feel towards him I do love him yeah right but he loves me You're not in love with him. I get it. Sorry, are we in the fucking therapy? Is this therapy? Is this therapy? Are we interviewing Greg Davies about the new season of Buzzcocks? What's happening? Listen, do you love... Right, okay. Let's get it out of the way with... Do you love me more than I love you? Yes or no? Depends what... In your opinion. Depends what time of the month it is. Are you on in this scenario? No. No, well, yeah, well, I love you, yeah. Yeah, amazingly. But when you're on, nah, take it, I'll leave you.

3:18Rosie Ramsey:Oh, great, okay. I'm talking about periods straight away, sorry. Yeah, yeah. Yeah. Why not? Sorry, that's not as sexist as it sounds. Rosie's very much, our period is the third host of this podcast. What you're saying is you like women unless they're ovulating. Exactly. That is what I've heard. That is, and I will be, you can clip that up, and I will stand by that. I think you're meant to love women more when they're ovulating. It's like an old kind of evolutionary thing. Yeah, that's when you're meant to love them more. So actually, I think you might be gay. this show gets edited yeah this is edited very loosely this might all stay okay I still think it might be gay is that okay to say I don't know if that's okay to say I don't know I mean if it's not going to get heavily edited I'd just like to say I have great admiration for ovulating women and gay people just for the record they'll be glad we'll all be glad about that thank you well what we're going to do is we're going to take all of the stuff we said out and you're just going to say that out of nowhere.

4:21I'm just going to go, I like ovulating women and gay people. We're going to ask you about Buzzcocks and you're going to say, I just want to say it. It's not a quote that's going to ruin me, Chris. No, no, no. I like ovulating women and gay people. I mean, it's going to be weird.

4:35Rosie Ramsey:It works. It'll go very well. Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah. How was the jungle? Yes.

4:42Vogue Williams:You're fresh. You are fresh out. Fresh out. I've had the facial, got the hair done, My nails are torn. I'm back.

4:48Rosie Ramsey:Yeah. How long have you been back?

4:49Vogue Williams:Like two or three days? Two days. Fucking hell, man. I was busy. I was like, time to scrape off the rotten. Was it minging? Was it as minging as it looks? It's like, I didn't speak to anyone before going in. First mistake. So silly. So much harder than it looks on TV. Like it's wild. Like Svenny was like, oh, I read an article with it where it said that they weren't being hard enough on the celebs. I was like, what? it's always nice to go in after they've had that revelation oh I know and I'm like going straight after the year where it was easy yeah that'll be nice yeah it was not easy but it is a lot of fun and like I've made I have made good friends because at the start when they were all really like have you fucked you will not speak to them in a month text Ruby Wax this morning I love Ruby Wax alright come back in six months and tell me if you're still speaking well well you will see I will be with her in a month what you have done you have made no no you have made a holiday friend we've all done it we've all made holidays let's meet up oh yeah you come out and if they do meet up you can take them into your local and it's fucking horrible they hate this well excuse me for now I have friends yeah for now she's still in the bubble I'm totally kidding because holiday friends it's because you're in an amazing place you're around a pool and stuff so you make friends easier it's probably actually harder to make friends in the jungle because one of the hardest bits I would find is genuinely I don't really everyone always says will you go in the jungle or whatever and I'm like I think most of the country would hate me if I went in the jungle because I would show you true colours.

6:17I need a certain amount of the day where I'm just on my own and left. I need silence. I need to be with my own thoughts. The sitting around, filling the silence with people in the camp who stink, would upset me so much. The whole country would be like, and I'm not saying, fair play if you can do it, but everyone watching would go, he is a knob. He rolled it. every time that poor lady said something you rolled his eyes and then he went into that little booth and he slagged everyone off and he's not even a and he just looks in the distance when they're talking

6:51Vogue Williams:You're not a team player either Nah The thing of it is though like you are filmed the whole day so you don't and I like I love being around people I never spend time on my own not one second do I spend on my own Right okay Can't bear it so it was fine So you're all prying for it yeah They were very singy so you would have liked it I probably would love it Yeah I'm not When I'm at a gathering and some fucking twat gets an acoustic guitar out. I want to wrap it around the head. Honestly. Oh God. Horrible. That is the worst. I would like that bit. I can't. Oh look, Daryl brought his guitar. Oh what?

7:25Vogue Williams:No. No. I used to be married to a singer and I'd be like ugh. Please groom. I can't. I'm just not a singy person. I'm not like because I'm shy to this. I'm a really bad singer. I'm not a good dancer and there was a lot of singing and dancing. I found that bit a little bit hard Cringe But like it's not even that it was cringe because they were really good Yeah okay It's cringe if people are shit

7:49Rosie Ramsey:If people are shit Do you know what I can't bear? I can't bear like board games and stuff Do you know when people whack a board game out and when they're like let's do this I'm like I'd rather die I'd rather die We played a lot of games See this is I couldn't do it I couldn't do the games and shit You're so bored though that you do it Right You're so bored

8:07Vogue Williams:Because there's no alternative So it's like most of it is just sitting around doing were nothing. So you get, we try to work out the time because you don't know what time it is. They never tell you what time it is and no one's allowed to talk to you. Like the security aren't allowed to talk to you when you leave the camp and you get a show all over your head. In my opinion, unnecessary. In my opinion, unnecessary. I just had full conversations with them though. I'm like, how are you? What's the crack? What's going on? They'd completely ignore you and I just continued this conversation. I made up names for them and there was one guy, there was a sound guy and he used to come into camp in the morning before we woke up and sometimes he'd wake us up and then we'd whinge about it but he would swap our mics and I was like he was real real good at ignoring me like I mean I was like completely just blanked in but then I met him after and I was like oh hang on that wasn't an act he's actually just he was still ignoring me when I went out and I was like okay so hang on

8:57Rosie Ramsey:so you could wake up at half four in the morning

9:01Vogue Williams:or half eight in the morning and you wouldn't know we thought it was half five so we thought we woke up at half five in the morning they would start waking us up because we worked out that the show was on at seven. So you'd hear them shouting, I was going to get me out of here. And then you'd kind of work it out from then. God, it's like Hunger Games. Yeah. It's like, that's torture.

9:18Rosie Ramsey:I know. It's like being in the arena at Hunger Games and working out who's died by the dongs. I don't believe Ant and Dec would have something to say about that. But yeah, whatever. Oh, I couldn't live like that. Ant and Dec, you're running the Hunger Games. Shame.

9:32Vogue Williams:Welcome to the Hunger Games. It's kind of felt like that at points. You don't care though. because like now that I've got back I'm like oh my god there's so much stuff to do and like you don't fully appreciate how much time you have to just like do normal stuff you don't have your phone and like it's quite nice to go and collect wood and to do all those things because like it's so like back to I don't know the stone age Yeah

9:53Rosie Ramsey:Did you miss the kids? Yeah That's my thing I think that got me Yeah

9:57Vogue Williams:I think that leaving them because you don't speak to anyone so they take your phone off when you land Yeah And then you've no phone you can't speak to anyone and I wish I'd brought a burner phone but you had time beforehand didn't you so you went in later yeah so what happened so when you land in Australia they take your phone take your phone so then how long until you went in the jungle so then it was three days before I went in the jungle and so you have a chaperone with you the whole time my poor chaperone I was like at half six in the morning come on we're going to the gym she's like no wow and she's close I'd be like thankful I'd be like

10:29Rosie Ramsey:I don't want to be here

10:30Vogue Williams:but I'm actually quite glad they're going to the same are they going to stop you're like just picking up a landline and no you don't ring anyone no But you forget about your phone so quickly. And I love my phone so much. And then I was like, it didn't matter. Nice to have a break. And then getting out, I was a bit scared to turn it back on. It's like, you know, when it's your birthday and people find out and they start texting you, it's like, you're ruining my birthday. Like, now I have to run back to you.

10:49Rosie Ramsey:Yeah, yeah, yeah. Stop texting. I was at my family's New Year's Eve party. And Dance Me Tonight was currently number one in the charts. And it had been out for a while at this point. And we were singing. singing and my mum, my family were like put Dance With Tonight on like it's you know it's a brilliant song we played it and my mum was dancing to me and she was singing the she wasn't even singing the right lyrics I mean it was way off the actual song I'm looking around going you haven't wind up it's been out for like five, six weeks it's on everywhere I mean genuine at the time I think it was at number one for like two or three weeks it was the most play day a play record of that time I'm like my mum must be I'm thinking to my mum she's obsessed with the song she's obsessed with me that's my son's song well no clearly she's going I just want she didn't even know the dance with me tonight bit she got it completely wrong the fucking name of the song halfway through the halfway through dance with me I was like mum like pull this favourite do you actually even know my song but do you not think that keeps you grounded it does like that I think you know people in this industry who are surrounded by yes people.

12:04Yeah. Just constantly. 100%.

12:06Rosie Ramsey:And they're not on this planet. Nah. They're just. Well, that was one thing when I first got into it. I was like, I could see straight through people. I was just like, what is this? Like people come up to me just saying like all this. Bullshit. Waffle, absolute waffle. I'm like, shut up, mate. Yeah. This isn't. That's not real life. The two cheek kissers. Mwah, mwah. And darling, you are this. And oh, get, crawl out of my arsehole and fuck off. The thing is as well, I think when I first started this, like I was just a regular Essex boy. And when I used to go out and party and go clubbing, like, you know, chatting up girls was a hard gig.

12:43You know, like it was like, you know, really got a graft here. And, you know, when I come off X Factor, I was just like going to these, you know, it was like single. I was out in clubs and like these really hot, unbelievable Victoria's Secret like models would go up to you and be like, alright and you're like I remember once being in this bar and they both these two women come up to me at the bar and we're just like alright how are you you having a good time and I just looked at them I said look ladies I'm really sorry but you're barking up the wrong tree like I know exactly what you're after and that is not and I made some of my mates people like what are you doing I was like but you could have got swept up in that no but it's kind of like that fake industry yeah I was so aware of like stories being sold or especially at the time with like the news of the world and stuff I was just thinking like Olly Murs Cheeky Chappy Single Eye Out and About I didn't want that kind of smoke if anything and I was very aware of like I think being 25 I was sort of aware more so that I don't want to get myself caught up in stuff like that but

13:42Rosie Ramsey:Were you in the older category? I was yeah Oh my god you were? You were in the oldies? I was in that oldies So depressing that that's the older Any man at our age now we're like that ain't old It's not old I remember being a kid watching it and being like oh the geriatric look at them Here comes the over 25s. Oh, bless them. Here comes the Werther's original squad. Haven't even got their own teeth. Oh, my God, it was. I remember because Simon Cowell was backstage behind the camera, saying, you know, really want the over 25s. And I was in that category. And there was Dan Johnson at the time. He was sort of, I think he was around 26, 27.

14:19Jamie Archer, he was about 30, I think. So he just wasn't in that. And I had just turned 26. so I was just in that category I think I just turned 25 sorry so I was just in that category didn't realise why that Simon wanted me in his category he wanted me he wanted to take us and obviously get me to the final and hopefully win it but but yeah like now I look back now and isn't that weird though as you get older you see things online and you think I would have thought I was old being in the other 25s but now I'm 41 looking back I'm like god I was so young still I tell you what mate we We haven't even discussed this.

14:55Yesterday, we checked in the hotel and this is the oldest I've ever felt in my life, right? There's a young lad behind the desk checking us in and he was asking, you know, are you down for business or pleasure and all that stuff? And then I go to the hotel quite a lot. So another young lad who I know came and stood next to him. I asked him what we've been up to. And I said, oh, we're down for two nights to do some interviews for the podcast. And it's just been half term. We've just had two weeks of half term. And they both went, whoa, two weeks. they were coming at half term from the perspective of a fucking child they both were like oh you get two weeks off and I went no no prick I've had me kids for two weeks I'm fucking demented but their immediate reaction because they are closer to my children's age than they are to my age and they work in a fucking hotel and they were like wow two weeks off school dude that's amazing and they jumped over the counter and smacked them both I was so angry I went no smacked I went it wasn't good and he went oh yeah I'm just thinking about when I was a kid and I was like, you're fucking 12.

15:52You're about 12 years old.

15:53Rosie Ramsey:Yeah, because he was closer to being a kid than he was being a kid. I was absolutely raging. I got on the Orlando flight back from Universal Studios. Because you've just been there for the radio show? Yeah, yeah, yeah. I've just been there. And it was so amazing looking down the aisles of all the parents. Did you take the kids with you? No, I couldn't. They were too young. I mean, Maddie's only 18 months and obviously Albert's only like nine weeks old. Yeah. They're not old enough yet. But it was so funny going down the aisles and seeing all the families and parents because we were doing it for our radio station that we're on.

16:26And just seeing how all the parents were completely crumbled. They were like, they're like great half-term holiday for the kids, but we're like, they're like in their chairs like, oh God, give me a break.

16:37Rosie Ramsey:We did Disneyland Paris in, when was it? August? August. Fuck me. We were flying to London once, just near the Christmas time. And there was two, we were right, remember we were right at the front of the plane and there was two air stewards standing in front of us and I overheard, I had my AirPods in, but I didn't have anything playing. I do that quite a lot to hear people's conversations. Bit of a spy. Oh, interesting. Love it. Love your people's conversations. I did not know that. You pretend to have your headphones in. I've got them in but they're not playing. Sometimes I'm doing that. Stop it.

17:03Stop it. Something, something, dance, something tonight. Something, something tonight, dance tonight. That's fun. And they literally, yeah, and they were going, I've told you, man, I'm sure I said it on the podcast.

17:16Rosie Ramsey:That's weird. You've never told me that. Not what said, what was said. They literally were talking. One of them was like, I've got the Lapland flight next week. And the other one went, oh, he went, I'd rather do the midnight flight back from Ibiza than the Lapland flight. Apparently the Lapland flight is just carnage with all the kids. It's basically 50-50 kids to adults. And there's just like fucking crisps and sweets and screaming. It's just mayhem on the flight. I mean, that's an interesting question. He said he would rather do the flight back from Ibiza with everyone like... Would you though?

19:27Rosie Ramsey:Babadoo babadoo babadoo babadoo I hate knowing secrets of telly Yeah it kind It didn't ruin it No it ruins everything Yeah I can't watch a TV show now When you did Heaven That's when it all That's when it really ruined it for me Right Because we went And the house they only ever shot the front door and then the rest of it was studios in Manchester. All of the rooms, every single room was a studio. It was not a real house. And I was like, what do you mean? What do you mean? This is it. And then there was... She took it really badly. And there was lights being shone through, like for the sun. And I was like, this is just ruined.

20:03That light, that was the sun, I used to go and stand in front of that and have a cup of tea in an afternoon. It was so lovely. Oh, bet. So lovely and warm. Did you ever go and watch him Strictly? Because that's a long record. Have you done Strictly? I've not done it, but God, I've never been to one of the records, but you get a pack of biscuits and a lot of popcorn. That's what's put me off going. I would never stay for the second bit. Well, you did straight. Yeah, yeah, but I was on there. But I'm saying if they went me, if I had to go and watch, say Rosie did the series, they wanted us to go and watch someone, I'd say I'm watching, I'm not sitting there for the results.

20:31That's what I've got to do. It's about a six hour day.

20:34Rosie Ramsey:It is long. I once, when we went to watch you, do you remember when I spilled a glass of wine on us? Yeah. Full glass of white wine. I had to sit with a wet dress and I stank a wine. and then Anton Dubeck's wife, who's very posh, you get along great. I mean, as I think case in point, I get on with a lot of people. No, no, but you really get on with it. Anton and I have the same hairdresser. Oh, well, there you go. And she was lovely, but I could tell that she was like, you stink of wine. So I had to say, like, I've spilled a full glass of wine on this. I'm dripping wet and I stink a drink, I'm sorry.

21:08Rosie Ramsey:And I'm Chris's wife. The hardest bit about that is you've already stank of wine. Yes, of course it is. And then you sucked bottling yourself as well, which is so bad. My sister has never let us forget that. She's always like... Is it not that... Do you get on... Would you say you get on with sort of, you know, scum? Don't point it at Jordan. He pointed it at Jordan. For all the listeners. I thought you were going to say, salt of the earth. I'm sorry, I did that on purpose. Would you say you get on with, you know, scumbags better than you get on with posh people? You don't get on with anyone. No, but if you...

21:42I'm one of the nicest people I know, if I'm honest. What a lovely review of yourself. I know. If you had to rank it, if you had to go, look, who do I get on with better? Do I get on with people below my social status? Do I get on with people higher? Oh, below. Because then I feel superior. Yeah, like a little pet. I knew it. I knew it. Fantastic. Fantastic.

22:03Rosie Ramsey:You're going on Gladiators. Yeah. You're going to be a bloody... I've done it. Oh, you've done it? Yeah. But it's on Christmas Day. Christmas Day at 3.35. It's always on on Christmas Day. Actually, that's a good time because that's a... Oh, hang on. Are you posh?

22:17Vogue Williams:No, my husband is though. Okay.

22:19Rosie Ramsey:When do you eat your Christmas lunch?

22:21Vogue Williams:I think we're going to eat it about... I eat around the kids' schedule. So like one or two.

22:26Rosie Ramsey:See, we have ours at like one o 'clock. Who doesn't have the evening? Oh my God. Something to have it later on. I grew up with a girl from school and her family used to eat so late that I'd literally... I sent my mum. I was like, I can't go to her house. I've got such a bad stomach because they eat so late. I'd be like, my stomach would go... Every meal, not just Christmas. Oh, just all the time? Just all the time. But yeah, so people will be finished their lunch and they'll be digesting and the telly will be on. 3.35 is actually the perfect time. That's perfect snooze in front of the telly. It's digesting time.

22:54I don't want them snoozing, please. Oh, they'll be snoozing. Okay, you'll be snoozing because of the beautiful, warm nostalgia that's getting pumped out from Gladiators.

23:01Vogue Williams:Gladiators were on a sick show, though. I always wanted to do it. Like so, but do you remember watching when you were younger? Oh my God. We used to say my stepdad was like your man because he's from Scotland and he'd be like, Amber, you will go. Oh, because he was really strict. And we'd be like, ah.

23:16Rosie Ramsey:We used to get all the, every Saturday night we'd get all the cushions off in the good room, right? Because my mum had like the posh room that we weren't allowed in. Yeah. Mad. She would drink her coffee in there in the morning. I don't think she was very happy, but anyway. And then we'd just, it's just like a nice room. It is a lovely room. Soundproof pardon on the walls, inside the lock. And we would go in there every Saturday night and get all the cushions off the set A and jump around the cushions. It was such a nice memory. Oh, I know. It's good. It's still going. What was it like?

23:45Vogue Williams:It was the first time I was like, I'm 40. Like I was in bits. I was in bits. Really? Because you do the first day and you kind of practice everything and I was like, oh, well, not as good as I thought I'd be. And then, and that's when you're not against a gladiator. What's the practice? So you do everything. So you try everything on the Eliminator. Right. I got Joe Wicks to film me doing the Eliminator and I was like, running up the, what's it called? The Travelator. Yeah, yeah. Straight down on my face. Stop. Yeah, yeah. Not a great runner, even though I do a lot of it. I was going to say you were super fit.

24:14Vogue Williams:No, not really. And then the gladiators are coming at you, so you're like, you're kind of terrified of them. But I love having people like that on TV because when you look at like young girls and I thought that like, I'd love my daughter to watch them and be like, look how sick they are. Yeah, like strong. Yeah, they're strong women who will absolutely batter you if you piss them off. Yeah. Yeah, the female gladiators are no joke. They're all like stacked. boys girls a lot of them we did a thing for children in need with them where I had to do a dance thing with them and they were just massive massive they put so much effort into that and they're such like they're just great characters as well they're really lovely

24:49Rosie Ramsey:and what I said before not one spot on them bums spot boss oh my god why are you talking spot boss sorry she's just said that to me like I said before like it's a thing she always says what's happening I think about this all the time because

25:10Vogue Williams:girls with thong bikinis how the fuck do they get out

25:14Rosie Ramsey:because if I'm on holiday maybe I've got a bit of a spot

25:25you've both laughing so much you're not making any sound

25:28Rosie Ramsey:just one little spot just a like a rogue little spot and you did that thing with children here with the gladiators and all the girls had like tiny and I was like, not one of them. That's their costume. They don't have any spots in their hearts. Oh God, I've grown my eyes out of you.

25:44Vogue Williams:I actually have a pair of bikini bottoms that I can't wear because they gave me such a bad rash. It was so rotten. It felt like what's wrong with your arse?

26:02Vogue Williams:It was so bad. The baby stuff?

26:05Rosie Ramsey:Yeah. Oh my God, yeah. I don't wear those

26:07Vogue Williams:that bikini anymore.

26:09Rosie Ramsey:Do you remember when I had Robin and I got follicleitis? I started going to talk and I started going to talk and I started going to talk and I started going to talk and I started going to talk It looked like someone had run a cheese grate out over both our arse cheeks. It was really bad. It was red. It's like, I think people get it on their arms sometimes. After I had Robin, I had to go to the doctor. That's because I was like, what's happening to my bum? It's like really, really red exposed paws. Oh no, I love your arm. On the back of someone's arm, Yeah, they'll get like the red. It's such a hard time.

26:34Vogue Williams:Oh my God, I can't believe you get spot bought.

26:37Rosie Ramsey:Not all the time. I just couldn't do a job where it was like, you had to have your arse out.

26:44Vogue Williams:And there's always the dream with that. Like, you know, all bikinis, you don't know, I assume you're not finding them. I'm learning. I am learning. They're all going into tongs. And I'm like, please God. Why are they doing that?

26:54Rosie Ramsey:That really pisses me off. No, not everyone has an arse for a tong. No, I've bought some bikinis recently and they're just up my arse. and I'm like, I don't want to wear a thong on holiday. I blame Love Island. I blame Love Island. They're all wearing them on Love Island. They've just been down a really fast slide. So I used to, I used to when I was younger, when I worked in Greece, me and my mate had thong bikinis. Honestly, it's never been, it's never been my thing, a thong. I remember we were talking, weirdly we were talking about, before this, I was talking with the team about Cisco, the thong song.

27:24Oh yeah, yeah. Because two of the guys on the team thought that had said, that thang, the thang, thang, thang. And I was like, You know what's called thongs though? How old are they? Oh, I don't know. Children, man. But they probably heard it on classics or something. But a thong, even when I was young, had never been my thing. No, you're not a thong guy. Well, I do wear a lot of thongs

27:43Vogue Williams:because I don't like knicker lines. Can't bear a knicker line. I am just very aware of how dirty an arse crack can be. You don't like the thought of it banging up your arse. Yeah, women's arse cracks, they're not as... They're not hair. Yeah, they're a lot cleaner. Men have like hairy artist cracks so like you get more cost. It just reminds us of that. You know when you used to go to the counter in the supermarket and they would cut the cheese with that bit of string. Yeah. It just reminds us of that. I couldn't do that. Well that's good for you. At least you don't have to wear thongs. I mean I don't.

28:13Vogue Williams:You can hide your spot pot. Have you ever seen each other on holidays? Spot pot.

28:20Rosie Ramsey:When I see Vogue I'll have my full shorts on. Once you wears a boiler suit around the pool. It's a bad, fuck, it's a bad day. That's why I couldn't do the jungle. That's my bad. Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah. So a mate of mine used to say one, used to say, you know, the Chuckle Brothers. I know the Chuckle Brothers, all right. I'm sorry about that. Well, we used to say to people, me and me, we used to say, Jason Cook, comedian, friend of the podcast, he used to say, do you know, one of them is actually the dad. They're not brothers. It was just enough. Which one, Barry? Well, it was just enough of bullshit.

28:51Like, it was just enough where people would go, no, you go, Oh, no, definitely. They go, all right, okay. Yeah. One does look,

28:56Rosie Ramsey:the shorter of the two does look older than the... You know one's dead, right? Yeah, the shorter, yeah, the one who looks older is actually dead. He's passed. Yeah, he's passed. Barry, RIP. RIP, yeah. I think I did know that. I did the Chuckle Brothers. I was Henry VIII in the Chuckle Brothers, one of the first bits of telly I did. No. You've been in Chuckle, Chuckle, Chuckle, B? I was Henry VIII in... Chuckle Vision. Yeah, in Chuckle Vision. Wow. So Rosie can't say Chuckle Vision because when she was... Yeah. When my brother was younger, he had like a speech problem. And he used to sing chicka-bees-in.

29:26Rosie Ramsey:He used to go chicka-chicka-bees-in, chicka-bees-in. Chicka-bees-in. Chicka-bees-in. Well, my mum and dad. Oh, he said chuck-a-bees-in. It's not even close. All right, my name's a kid. It doesn't even have a guy. He had a speech impediment. What are you doing? It's all right. He's all right now. Yeah, it's fine. I mean, well, we do worry about him more than the rest. I used to say combine-ister instead of combine-harvester, but that sounds like combine-harvester. I had mates who said, Piscetti, it used to really fuck me off. Piscetti biscuits? No, Piscetti Bolognese. Oh. It's like, what the hell's wrong with you?

29:55Piscetti. Yeah. I can't pick Piscetti on toast. What's wrong with you? But yeah, but he used to say chickabeesin, didn't he? Anyway, it must be very difficult for people who've got speech impediments, and I've greatly respect for them, and ovulating women,

30:07Rosie Ramsey:and the gay community. Anyway, he did it for months, and my mum and dad were getting really upset. They were like, why does he keep saying, what's chickabeesin? And he wants to watch Chick-A-B-E's and had no idea. And I was like, it's Choc-A-B-E's. Choc-A-B-E's. Greg Davies is in it. It's Choc-A-B-E's. Do you want Henry the Eid to think? Right, Henry the Eid. I've got two things to say about it. One, in the audition for it, the director said, told me to calm it down a bit. Like I was overacting. Can you imagine? I said Henry the Eid. Yeah. In Choc-A-B-E's. What do you mean? Dial it back, dickhead.

30:41He did. He said, can you dial it down a bit? Wow. what could you possibly have been doing? I can't imagine. I can only imagine I just pulled my trousers and pants down and started screaming. I can't think how you can go too big for chocolate vision other than expose yourself and just start hallowing like a wolf.

31:03Rosie Ramsey:But Henry the Earth is quite like a big character. Exactly. I feel like you would have had... That's my point. Yeah. I'm sorry about that. I got the part, weirdly. Yes. Okay. And this is the bit I remember most fondly about it, is I walked onto set and I met... Who's not Barry? Paul. Paul. I met Paul and he was nice and very welcoming. Keeps a crash mat whenever he films anything because he's got a bad back, he likes to lie on a crash mat. Anyway, then Barry came in late. We were in a medieval banquet hall and I was dressed as Henry VIII and Barry came in, RIP, and he was in a full medieval ball gown and a conical hat.

31:47And, of course, they used to film two whole episodes in one day. So the crew were like, let's go, let's go, let's get it done. And they've seen them in every outfit conceivable. But I haven't. And I just lost it in the middle of a medieval banquet hall. I lost it for ten full minutes. Wow. Where I couldn't stop laughing and I was the only person in the room laughing. who were like cameramen leaning on the cameras. Oh, no. Oh, God. And Barry was sort of like that. And I was just laughing. Like I thought I'd gone mad. I thought I'd lost my mind. Just, and really echoing, just me. Everyone again going, I'm so sorry, Barry.

32:31I just wasn't expecting you to be in the... It was absolutely horrible, that. Oh, it was sort of horrible and wonderful.

32:39Rosie Ramsey:Yeah. Barry was lovely as well. Oh, wow. Oh, my God. Oh, that's fantastic. Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo. Explain to Chris what a twink is. What's the time? I don't understand. I don't know what a twink is. No. What do you think a twink is? So I watched Die Hard the other day, so I can only think of twinkies. No, I don't think there are any twinks in Die Hard. No. Not the official version. A twink. A twink is a young, generally, or young or young looking, pretty gay male. Where does twink come from? I don't actually know I think it's It's like It's American Is it not from drag Like Drag Race Could be I think it's an American Sort of like Yeah Yeah But like Kiki Like Kiki's become A really Really popular scene And that came from Drag Race Yeah And then a twunk Is sort of You probably have been a twink You got a bit older You maybe beefed up A little bit Twunk Twunk Yes This is a cold news gum No No no Twunk's good No these are all good Sound good No no no You've had a glow up, lad.

Yeah. This is mental. He's so spenny. He's like, fair play to him. Rich, wealthy people know how to spend money. He spends it. Are we allowed to ask? How much is a haircut? He's got real goyards.

He's very spenny.

36:39How much does the haircut from Harrods? Don't ask. Is that rude to ask? No, I just, it's, you know, it's decent. You can bleep this out. OK.

36:52It has, I'll be honest, when I started going there, not long ago, well, five years ago, it was 65. That's inflation for you. Wow.

37:00Rosie Ramsey:I'll get my full hair dyed and cut and blow dried for that. Yeah. Wow. And this is a trim. That's nuts. Yeah, and really for me it should be half price. Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, ba. So you've made friends. Who else have you really... Who else have you made friends with?

37:16Vogue Williams:Tom, I've actually already seen Tom. All right. All right, okay. Was I on the flight home? No, bumped into him at the bus stop. He was getting the bus stop. He was getting the bus stop. Do you get the bus? I get the tube. Oh. And I cycle everywhere. Oh, nice. Do you wear a helmet?

37:27Rosie Ramsey:Do you wear a helmet? I do wear a helmet. Good. Sometimes I wear it. I know. We were coming here in the taxi this morning and I can't believe the amount of people with no helmets on. Madness. They're going to come off and they're going to be brain damaged and they need to put a helmet on. Your helmet. Your helmet.

37:47Vogue Williams:Helmets are a bit rotten but you have to wear a helmet. I do wear a helmet.

37:50Rosie Ramsey:They're awful and your hair's going to be shit for the rest of the day but you are going to save yourself from a really serious head injury. We collectively or death. Us two in the taxi driver this morning collectively came up the idea of a foldable helmet.

38:01Vogue Williams:Yeah, like the Brompton bike. Googled it, already exists. Foldable helmet. So I was billionaire, then it went. That's a great idea. I wonder if that person made, how ugly are they though? So they're more of a, it's basically a headband with a pop-out top is the best way I can describe it. It's like quite thick around this bit. Like those buckets, you know, the buckets, the new buckets that you get to fold.

38:24Rosie Ramsey:They don't work as well. No, you're still going to have a bad head. Yeah, and you're going to get, actually to be fair, the legal troubles I would get into when someone died using one of my foldable helmets that I just invented I'm actually glad do you know what it is I've tasted that success and I don't want it

38:37Vogue Williams:you don't need it you're busy you don't need it that was a rollercoaster in my mind there I was in court it's kind of a good idea

38:45Rosie Ramsey:are you like this like so you I feel like you are probably a really good entrepreneur and like you and Spen put Spen set together I can imagine you're doing like lots of business ventures and stuff like that me and Chris come up with loads of ideas right all the time and we never ever see them through. Never see them through. Ever. I swear to God. We're always like, oh my God, we should do this. We should do that. Never one. Never ever.

39:06Vogue Williams:No, no, no.

39:07Rosie Ramsey:How would you do it? Like, what are we? We're just stupid.

39:10Vogue Williams:Well, I have loads of ideas that I don't bother either. I was like, I'm going to start my own coffee brand because I love coffee so much and then I'm like, there's loads of coffee brands, isn't there? Yeah. It is that in it though. I'll just bring a whole suitcase full of it from Australia. It's basically. That's fine. But it's basically like, right I'm going out for a run that's raining like that that's how quickly you can just fuck your idea off my most recent one

39:30Rosie Ramsey:my most recent one was like I would love to open a coffee shop where we live like a really lovely coffee shop oh I know but then I was like I'm going to have to get up really early and then I'll have to be there I'll have to be there all day and I would just put my foot off and I was like and then yeah then I'll have to everyone who comes in I'll have to speak oh god oh no it's a nice idea

39:50Vogue Williams:for retirement more yeah

39:52Rosie Ramsey:yeah that would be nice that's not retirement though is it Well, I don't ever want to retire, you see,

39:56Vogue Williams:because I feel like as soon as I retire, I'll die. Right. You're a shark. You're a shark. What do you mean I'm a shark?

40:02Rosie Ramsey:So if you stop swimming, you'll die. Yeah, exactly. Do I swim the whole time, sharks? I think they never, ever stop. I think that's where the sayings come from. Am I? Hang on. I'm so glad I've learned something today. Did they stop swimming today? So what's just happened is, and this happens quite often, I will tell Rosie a fact or a phrase. Is that true? Rosie will take the fact of the phrase. It's not his, but Rosie will take it and she'll tell it to someone else with the confidence of the person who knew it in the first place. And then a beautiful moment happens where, thankfully, you've just said to Rosie, is that true?

40:32And Rosie's in her head. There's a fucking alarm going off. There's panic. There's fucking, there's chimps running around. There's madness. Ron, get out, fire. Who cares if it's true or not? Just say allegedly at the end.

40:48Rosie Ramsey:Allegedly. Allegedly. I need to have more conviction in what I say yeah no if sharks stop swimming they die well I said

40:57Vogue Williams:Bob Dylan was dead the other day do you know I was like Bob Dylan was playing I was like no he wasn't I was like no he like didn't just die by the way he's dead years and the producer was like he's alive I was like oh really I had him killed off I was so convinced of it I was like laughing at her and stuff I was like that's ridiculous do you know wow he is alive wow

42:54Rosie Ramsey:Babadoo babadoo babadoo Dear Chris and Rosie Please keep me anonymous We don't know what this is by the way Quite earlier on in my relationship I was invited to a big family meal To celebrate my boyfriend's Grandparent's wedding anniversary Does it say how long or not? It doesn't say how long As a newbie to the family I was seated at the bottom Of a long table with a very elderly lady to my left a super gentle aunt opposite and my father-in-law steve in the corner it was a very pleasant meal and steve ate heartily throughout so enthusiastically accepting further helpings of everything when the dessert menu came round and everyone discussed what they're going to have steve leant back in his chair patted his full belly and said very loudly he couldn't possibly have any more dessert because he had shot his load

43:49it's fair to say the surrounding more innocent diners and Steve himself had no idea what he'd actually said and I had to spend the remainder of the meal styling out my tears of laughter I love that I love that so now and then we get one I'm sorry guys I've shot my load I can't possibly eat anymore

44:09Rosie Ramsey:oh that is nice Come on, he knew what he was saying. Do you think? Yeah. Now and then we get one. That's not filth. It's not disgusting. It's not bad. That is just, that's just funny and cute. I like that. Do you think that's a genuine, he said it, not knowing what he said? Or he knew what he was saying. I live with someone who says the wrong thing in every situation and never remembers any kind of phrase for anything. So I guarantee that was accidental, but I would have died if I was at a table. But then again, I wouldn't have kept it quiet. Oh, you've shot your lord. What do you mean? Change your pants.

44:41Rosie Ramsey:You have a problem with correcting people, though. Yeah. By the way, we need to talk about the taxi here. Taxi here? Yeah. Yeah, why? When the taxi driver was telling me about Charles Dickens used to go walking at night around where we are because he was an insomniac, but the taxi driver called it... Hypochondriac. Hypochondriac, right? And I knew he meant insomniac, so I was just going, oh, right, yeah, so yeah. Chris was like... He was like, really? He was like a chondriac, so he didn't sleep, He used to walk around the streets at night. I'm sitting in the back one. No, that's wrong. But why couldn't you just let him...

45:15I'm not letting him have it. I'm not letting him have it. Taxi drivers throw their opinions at me all day, every day. I'm not letting... You're not having hypochondria. I'm not... You're not having it.

45:23Rosie Ramsey:So Chris Bowden only went, you mean insomnia? Yeah. I was like, Chris, shut up, man. No. I'm saving him so next time he probably says that every day. I'm not letting him say that to someone else. Yeah, you use it. I do that all the time. I sometimes use words in the wrong context. Oh, I do. And my team always says to me, why did you say that on the radio? I'm like, oh, that's so cool. You get it wrong. Me and Righty do it a lot. I don't know how we've got a radio show together. We get so many things wrong. But it's funny. It's funny. It's fun. That's why you're likeable. Don't worry about it. Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah.

45:53Vogue Williams:Dear Chris and Rosie, please keep me anonymous. Rosie, because I don't want to get reported to anyone. Brilliant. Oh, my gosh. We have a family Christmas tradition of going to Panto on Christmas Eve. Christmas Eve?

46:10Rosie Ramsey:Panto's big where we live. A lot of people call Christmas Eve. It gets sold out really quickly.

46:14Vogue Williams:Oh, I'm going to Panto, just not Christmas Eve.

46:15Rosie Ramsey:Yeah, like a tradition, yeah.

46:19Vogue Williams:This includes me and my two sisters, their partners and kids. So, in total, six adults, seven kids. Mayhem, and I'm not sure we'll do it again. Last year, it was Cinderella. And in the middle of the second half, my eight-year-old Elsie, not her real name who was a few seats down the row from me decided she wanted to go to the toilet. I managed to squeeze past people in the row and get her to the loo on time. All fine, no drama and we rushed back to our seats for the last 15 minutes. The panto ended. We all got up to give a standing ovation. I looked down the road to my right and couldn't see Elsie.

46:51Rosie Ramsey:Where's Elsie?

46:52Vogue Williams:Where is Elsie? I mouthed to my husband where's Elsie? He of course responded that he thought she was with me and had clearly lost track of her movements since the toilet break. As you can imagine I was completely panic stricken We were all freaking out All of us went into action looking under seats and shouting for Elsie We rushed to the lobby to speak to the staff and there was Elsie sat on a stool eating an ice cream and having the time of her life What there played to Elsie?

47:19Rosie Ramsey:How old is Elsie? What is she saying? Why am I minus 82? Oh she's eight

47:26Vogue Williams:Clever eight year old It turned out that after our toilet break rather than following me back to our seats Elsie had wandered off to the foyer and befriended the theatre staff God free ice cream Stranger digit Oh yeah I would have gotten in the white van I would have I know when I was younger Fucking hell Sweets in here Okay Sweets and puppies in the same place Are the puppies not eating the sweets I'll have to check this out for myself Is there not puppy hair on the sweets Let me investigate when they asked where her parents were she had apparently said well my mum took me to the toilet and then just left me I was so scared of the dark I thought it was safer to come out here this was of course not true what I assume happened was that she knew she would get some free sweets and ice cream if she played the abandoned child card at Christmas fair play to her

48:24Rosie Ramsey:little bastard very clever girl sneak my god

48:28Vogue Williams:I never thought about doing something like that when I was younger? No, me neither.

48:32Rosie Ramsey:I don't think I was clever enough. I did once. My brother went missing in B &Q, right? I love B &Q. It's a great shop. Yeah. It's a great shop. And my mum and dad were looking for him, my sister, and I ended up, and I don't know how to this day, have I told you this? I think I have. I ended up in the postman pack ride and I don't know to this day, right? I don't know if it was broke or somebody kept putting money in for us because it just kept going and going and going and going. It just stayed on. It just stayed on. and I'm like was it broke or did someone put money in? Did some creeper go on boy put money in this thing and I'm just on my own on the postman can you imagine though I'm sure I've told you Kevin we were being you right so you know they had to do the full tannoy and everything he was fully missing imagine they're going out at the bottom there's you know he's in the lumbar section a big railway sleeper has fallen and crushed him your mum's crying your dad's crying kids crying it's just where's where's was he postman pack postman pack oh no that song will be in our head all day Every time you hear it, your mum freaks out.

49:31Rosie Ramsey:God! It's so true. And now all I can think is, I think there was some pervert there just putting pounds in. Right, great. All I can think is, if that was your sister, Kate, who you claim isn't your favourite, you'd have been in the fucking search party as well and not up on a post-mortem park ride on your own having the time of your life. How dare you say you don't have a favourite? How dare you? Nah, we're missing all the time. Bab-a-do, bab-a-do, bab-a-do, bah. Oh, shit. I can't read this one. Do you want me to read this out? We don't know what this is. Dear Chris and Rosie, please keep me anonymous.

50:02That's what the section's called. That's what the whole podcast's called.

50:05Rosie Ramsey:Welcome to the show. Oh, is it? Thank you for reading the emails. Jesus. This isn't Shag Married, is it? Honestly, it is. It's an off section. Shag Married, please keep me anonymous. Oh. Are you taking the piss? A whole separate thing? No, no, it's the same thing. No, it's it. Under the same umbrella. Yeah. It's the same thing. Oh. Bake Off Extra Slice. Oh, that sort of thing. There it is. But hosted by you. Yeah. With those shows. We're not getting anywhere. Those shows normally you get other people in. We're too greedy. I'm not sure you can do your own. Absolutely can't. You can do your own adjacent podcast.

50:36Can and have. Okay. All right then. Well, hopefully Chris and Rosalie invite me on the main one sometime. This is the main one for guests. I don't know how it works here. Megalomaniacs, these people. He was on Lorraine before this. Geordie Megalomaniac. Are you Geordie? Yeah, I suppose. Sand dancers. Sand dancers.

50:57Rosie Ramsey:Well, South Shield, so not Newcastle, not Sunderland Southfield. Is that posh Newcastle? No. No. No. No, no, no. No, sadly not. We live in a nice street. Okay. Rosie, Rosie. Do you know sometimes you forget that this is like work and you're just like, Greg, we live in a nice street. No, we do. It's not a part. We love where we live. We live in a hometown. But we have upgraded from where we grew up to the nicer part. The nice bit of the hometown. So when I went to school, I went to school with people who live where we live now. And I thought, nice. When I got invited. People are looking at you going, maybe.

51:33Let's see. Here we go then. Rosie recently talked on the podcast about crawling out of class and not getting caught.

51:40Rosie Ramsey:Oh, yeah. I did that at college. Now, you were a teacher, Greg. What, for many lonely sad years. Did you have anything like this? Did kids try and leave the class, hide, crawl across the floor? Oh, my God, yes. Yeah? What did you teach again? I mean, loosely drama and English. Right, okay. Nice. Can I tell you something from when I was at school? Please. We had a geography teacher called Batty Price, and I'm sure she's no longer with us. I don't know why she was called Batty. Batty. First name Batty. Or Mrs Batty. First name Batty, second name Price. I think Batty was a nickname. Okay. I don't think her name was Batty.

52:19But everyone called her Batty. I don't know why.

52:21Rosie Ramsey:Right, okay. And looking back, I mean, I guess she can't have been 90 years of age, but to me at the time she seemed 90 years of age. And she used to wear, I guess she had arthritis. She used to wear arthritic sort of armbands so that her hands were always like this. No. I swear to God. So she would hold chalk and be able to write, but most of the time she was like this. No.

52:50and I remember her facial expression was always squinting like this and she seemed 90. Anyway, there was a trend in Batsy's lessons and it happened, I cannot tell you this, most lessons. Someone would put their hand up and she would go, yes? And whoever it was would go, do you mind if I go to the toilet, Mrs Price? And she would go, okay, be quick. And then that person would stand up and then we would all leave. No way. The whole class. And I swear to God she never noticed. I swear to God. We'd come back and she would be saying, and periglaciation is... Wow. We'd all just go and stand out there for about five minutes and then come back in.

53:33Wow. Even like the square kids. Well, I was one of them. Even the frightened kids like me. We would all go, well, I guess we're all going out.

53:41Vogue Williams:I love shit like that. I love shit like that. Oh, bless her. This is the anonymous letter. Yeah. Well, I had a girl in my year who used to crush pencil lead down to a powder and then snort it up her nose. What the fuck? It would give her nosebleeds, which meant she could get out of lessons. The girl in question would always ask the teacher if she could bring a friend to help with the nosebleed. It was a bit of an inner circle, and you'd only be able to get out of lessons if you were mates with her. I was only invited once to be her nosebleed companion.

54:13Rosie Ramsey:I mean this is insane that's fucking horrible she'll be in a true crime documentary she'll be dead she's going to be dead lead poisoning she's snorting lead to make her nose bleed she'll be dead this is about a dead woman is that the tone you want on this podcast it'd be even I tell you what Rosie and Chris from Shag Married Annoyed are not going to like this

54:41they're not going to like this tone reason about someone who's essentially topped themselves with a pencil

54:47Rosie Ramsey:I think she made it to the end of the school year she's going to roll that in her face will have fallen off that's so bad how much do you hate school I mean come on I think it's genius it's insanity I was in a class with a lad once I won't name him, when I was at school. And he was eccentric. And a mate of mine. Really, very much living life according to his rules. And I was trying to do some work. And he went, oi. And I went, hey, mate, leave it out. I was really trying to concentrate. It was a science lesson. I was shit at it. And he goes, give me a number between 1 and 50. I went, fuck off.

55:32And I carried it on. He goes, just give me a number. He goes, what's it to you? Give me a number between 1 and 50. I went, 26. He went, all right, thank you. Ten minutes later, an ambulance was called because he had 26 yeast tablets. Shut up. They were fucking big as well, like a horse pill. He found a big jar in his eyes that just had yeast tablets on it. Stop. Yeah, he asked me to stop. He had to go to hospital.

56:02Rosie Ramsey:Why would you do that? He was bored, I guess he was bored. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. Awesome, matey. Did he survive? Oh, he lived, yeah. Oh, okay. Wow. Have you ever seen, this is it, do you ever see the naughty kids? This person did. I hope they have. I went to a random awards ceremony a few years ago in South Shield, and the naughty kid from school was there, but grown. A bully? He wasn't, actually, I'll give him his due. He was just a wally-wally. He was just naughty. And it was so funny, because he ended up getting expelled in year 10. But he came up to us and his daughter was getting an award and he was like, Drememee.

56:45Rosie Ramsey:Still talk like that. Drememee. And I was like, oh my gosh. And he said his name and I was like, fucking hell. You were a twat at school. But he's lovely now. He's done really well for himself. Has he? Yeah, thank you. His daughter's winning awards. His daughter won the Pride of the South Townside Award. Lovely guy. But the last time I saw him as a child, he was sniffing gas that he put on his tie like the Bunsen burn heads. Just boffing gas all afternoon. Sorry, so he's spraying the gas onto the tie. He just used to sniff it. Like a rag with chloroform. I met a lad when I was home at my mum's really recently and I met a lad who I was at school with.

57:26I see him. He's lived in my hometown since we were at school and he's a mate, you know. And we were just, I'd been to the supermarket and we were just sitting outside the supermarket chatting about school days. And it's so funny how it starts to come back and how you've normalised things that happened. And I remembered that I watched him chase our drama teacher across the drama studio with, you know, those big cans of hairspray. Well, you don't know, you're not old enough. But in the 80s, the girls all seemed to have a bag with a can of hairspray like this in it.

57:58Rosie Ramsey:Yeah, yeah. And I know he... I shouldn't name their names, should I? He got one of those giant cans of hairspray off a girl and he got a lighter and he lit it like a flamethrower and he was chasing our drama teacher. What the shit? Around the studio. And I remember him going, oh, stop that. Stop that. Don't be so silly. And it's literally a four-foot flame going, hooray! That's fantastic. And a flamethrower. Same kid, same drama teacher. The drama teacher came in because the head, Our head thought drama was pathetic, not a proper subject. It was the first time drama had ever been done the year I did drama there.

58:38Really? Because the head thought it was just poncy nonsense. So they get no budget. And the drama teacher kept begging him for money. And in the end, he gave him money for one set of playbooks. And he came in all proud going, the head has finally given us money. And I've got these lovely, beautiful playbooks. and we'll be going through these during the turf. I remember how excited he was. And later that lesson, the same boy, the flamethrower boy, went, psst. He went, hey, hey. He called me into the store cupboard.

59:13Vogue Williams:Don't. He cut them all in half with a big pair of scissors. He destroyed them all. Every single one. You're a fucking psychopath. Oh, no. But he's done well for himself. He has, you know. Wow. Yeah, he's totally normal.

59:32Rosie Ramsey:Oh, no. God. Oh, why do I feel so sorry for you? And I have to say, it was one of the most awful and one of the funniest things I've ever seen in my life. I was absolutely down the line of, this is appalling and this is a work of comedy genius. Yeah, it's brilliant. In half, up the spine. No, no, across the middle of the street. You couldn't even bother me. It took him ages. It was 35 books. Oh, my God. And they were thick. He would have had to have really, like... That's absolutely fucking psychotic. That's the harshest thing I've ever heard. And the drama teacher, when he found them, just started crying.

1:00:10Started weeping.

1:00:12Rosie Ramsey:That's so sad. Yeah, everyone's fine. That is so... Still alive. It's so alive. Oh, God, that's what the fucking thing is. Just a gentle weep as well. Not a sob. Just like... Babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, babadoo, bah. Dear Chris and Rosie, please keep me anonymous. Now, usually William reads the letters because I'm... And you'll see why in a minute. I'm very dyslexic. I can't read. This story from many years ago involves a nick that doesn't show me in a great light and I'm also hoping for some advice. You've come to the right place. I'd been seeing Tom, not his real name, for around six months. He was gorgeous, funny, charming and not afraid to show his vulnerable side.

1:00:52My overbearing family were big fans of Tom. One weekend, I went back to my parents and Tom came along. It was great and ended with a big Sunday roast. Around the table were mum, dad, two brothers and my younger sister. We were enjoying a delicious roast lamb when Tom suddenly started banging his head on the table and his face was getting redder and redder. It became clear that Tom had a piece of something, turned out to be a gristly piece of meat, stuck in his throat and was, yes, choking.

1:01:19Rosie Ramsey:Oh, he's choking. Oh my gosh, okay. Yeah. Right, that was really good. Well done, Jordan. That was lovely. You didn't make one mistake. I don't want to be too partnerising, but... Listen. Thank you. Because usually if I read some, it's got to be in Comic Sans. Yeah, good reading. And highlighted. What a fucking diva. Comic Sans or I'm not even looking at it. No, there was a point where he tried to get our producers to print everything off on yellow paper. Yeah, that lasted a week, didn't it? Anyway, the dilemma continues. I completely froze. My younger siblings jumped into action and started the Heimlich manoeuvre.

1:01:49The piece of meat became dislodged and flew across the room. Everyone was relieved and gathered around Tom, who, after seeing his life flash before his eyes, burst into tears. Well, I'm not sure if it was the tears, the red face or the bulging eyes, but I had very quickly gone off Tom.

1:02:08Rosie Ramsey:Well, I'm glad you're all dead. Oh, this is fantastic. You absolute did. Yes, OK, good. I'm glad you're saying, OK. Predictably. No, I get it, I get it. We broke up shortly after the choking incident. I'm sure if he had been the man for me, I would have seen past this, but I still shudder when I think about it. So the advice I'm after is, what should you do when you get that really piece of chewy meat during a meal in a restaurant or at someone else's house? Should you just swallow it down or discreetly spit it out and leave it on the side of the plate? Help appreciated. Oh, this is a good one for you.

1:02:41Rosie Ramsey:This is perfect for you. First of all, as far as icks go, we've had some great icks then. One of my favourites is someone dropping a receipt and trying to pick it up, but it keeps blowing away from them. My favourite icks. Someone saw a fella do that and she was like, my vagina just dried up. No, what about the man who ran for the bus with a backpack on? Man who ran for a bus with a backpack on, yeah. Yeah, bounced up and down. He's gone. But the fact that the ick is he nearly died by choking and was upset about it is the ick. Some people are fucking impossible to please. I think that's brilliant.

1:03:12Impossible to please. They got the ick from someone choking on them. God, oh, he nearly died. How awful. How unsexy. Yeah. That's horrible.

1:03:18Rosie Ramsey:Guys, I'm sorry. I'm getting it. What would she have preferred? If he just died like a fucking man. If he died like a man. She said in your bit now, you read, oh, he showed his vulnerable side. He wasn't afraid to show his vulnerable side. Oh, but nearly dying was too far. Did I ever tell you this? My mum choked on a piece of meat. She was having a meal on her own. No one ever in the house. Don't, that's one of my worst fears in the world. She had to go round to next door. Next door, called the ambulance, right? This is so bad. She was in hospital. None of us knew. My brother come home. Half her tea were left on the side.

1:03:46My brother ate it. Finished the tea with bits of choking. He choked. He runs next door. And my mum would come back, she went, traumatised. We were like, where have you been? No one even noticed. And he finished the tea. It was left on the side. He went, oh, I thought you'd left it out for me. And I told you this story actually recently when we went for lunch. Well, about seven years ago, I was sitting somewhere in Chelsea and Patricia Outledge, Hyacinth Bouquet, was on a table, a few tables away, on her own having lunch. And she started choking on a crisp, generally, because there were sandwiches and crisps.

1:04:17And I thought, oh, my God, this is my moment. I'm going to have to do the Heimlich on Hyacinth Bouquet. I'm going to sort of have some sort of gay honour because I've saved her. And then she just, she recovered. So I didn't actually even get up. She didn't get a single man. What's your advice for that thing? Sorry, I'm being a presenter now. No, no, no. Rosie tells me I should be a vegetarian because I'm so squeamish with meat. If I get any bit of gristle or something, meal room. When you're chopping chicken, if you do chop your chicken, I cut off the tendon and any of the sort of bloody bits.

1:04:49There's almost fuck all left. I'll chew, won't I? There's almost nothing left. I'm serious. I can strip a whole chicken down to nothing. I'm terribly wasteful with it. That's why Rosie is a chicken. But it's so annoying, isn't it?

1:04:59Rosie Ramsey:Because any bit of gristle, you guarantee it'll end up on my plate and it'll be the first bite and I'm done. And put you up. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm with you. So what do I do to not look like a pig? More vegetarian. No, but what do I do? No, what they've said there, what do I do? If I get it, if I get it from my mouth, then I've got to chew on it. Are you asking me if you should spit or swallow? Yeah. Yes. Yes. Generally, things like grizzle, fish bones, bones, meat bones, you can't swallow them. So you are going to have to remove it from your mouth. So I would spit it into your dominant hand, use your non-dominant hand to shield, and then place it on the side of the plate.

1:05:32Fantastic. Not a tissue? No. Not a napkin? Not a linen napkin, no.

1:05:37Rosie Ramsey:Oh, God. So just into your hand? Just into your hand and onto the plate. What about, because I used to be a pot wash. Or you can put it onto your fork, depending on what it is. It can be spat onto your fork, but then we still see it come out. so I would use your hands to shield it. I used to be a pot wash and eat all leftovers, you know, that come back in. Did you? Yeah, I do that all the time. So if someone spat something back out... Yeah, but what would you prefer to do? Swallow it and choke? Yeah, but you do that. I'm sorry, don't spit that out. The pot wash goes, mind sweeps everyone's plates, you might get a cold.

1:06:05Rosie Ramsey:You used to do it when you were in the stadium. When I were in the stadium, I used to do it. I used to silver serve people at Christmas time. I used to silver serve people. Oh, silver, look how excited was I when I was there? Yeah, he does it sometimes. I still do it. Tongue action. Crumb down. Crumb down and silver serve. A lot. I've got a semi. Don't stop.

1:06:28Rosie Ramsey:What's got into you? He never says it. Right, okay, glow up and you can silver serve. Literally. Yeah, boy. We're going to... Give William a semi. This is it. We have... We've got to go. Sadly, we've got to go. I'm so sorry. This has been amazing. I can't stand up. So can we not stretch this on for a bit longer?
