  • Good guests

    Great guests but the over the top shmoozing to every guest is a little over the top! How many people can you find “amazing” and have “funny bones”. Broken record. Brown nosing.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Lacey Turner
Q: Why did you say yes to Strictly?
Turner wanted to challenge herself and show her children that they can pursue what they want by being brave and working hard, even when they are unsure they can do it.
Lacey Turner
Q: How did the audition happen for the Millers?
Turner attended a weekly drama class in Wembley, where EastEnders casting director Julia Crampsie saw her. Turner auditioned for the Miller family, but Tony Jordan reportedly thought she should be a Slater, and she was later offered the role.
Fleur East
Q: What brings you real joy?
East says her daughter brings her joy, and she also treasures a ring made from her late father's ring, which reminds her of him and feels like a piece of him is with her.
Fleur East
Q: Why do you think there is so much judgment out?
East says social media amplifies judgment, and that criticism can come from people projecting their own past experiences and the challenges they faced. She believes there is more unity among women than is often recognized.
Steve Backshall
Q: How do you, as somebody who's so passionate about the planet and the animals on it, and humans as well, most humans, what do you say to those people?
Backshall says climate change denial and delay frustrate him, but young people need messages that empower rather than leave them bleak. He argues that collective action and small changes on a large scale can make a difference.
