So disappointed the child and animal abusing Katie Price has been given a further outlet for her lies.
Hahaha this is fantastic. I do this in the evening with raw mushrooms and hummus. SO good! Thank you Laura 😂
When I was a little Gay boy I used to sit and listen to my mum and her friends chatting away. I get the same feeling of comfort listening to Grace Dent interviewing her guests. I particularly enjoyed this interview with Self Esteem, so funny and entertaining! I could have listened to them talking all day long.
If you live with misophonia, it might be best to give this episode a miss, despite how great Mr Fry is.
god, I love Deborah's take on marriage and homes. such an admirable woman! If anyone's got the chops, it's her.
I have enjoyed listening to most of these podcasts, but this particular episode was really enjoyable. I rate this as ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ It was an insight into a person about whom I knew nothing. I really didn't want it to end.
I love a steak and kidney fry bentos pie with a tin of mushy peas drenched in tomato sauce and bread and butter.pie sandwich the best!! great podcast.
I want to go to Scarlett's family party too! What a great woman, two great women talking about everything that matters in life, I loved it. Thank you
