A Dog, a Tampon and a Very Bad Day | with Bron Lewis

This week, Laura and Carmen investigate the bizarre claim that Channing Tatum has a secret Instagram account dedicated to defending himself, trolling his ex Zoe Kravitz and generally making things much, much worse for himself. And, the girls get stuck into all the best bits from the new series of Bake Off, including Nigella Lawson’s very hands-on approach to judging and “enthusiastic eating.” Plus, the fallout from Dolly Parton’s death gets increasingly chaotic, as her nephew finds himself embroiled in a legal battle over her estate, prompting some serious questions about what happens when you’re too generous to your family. Plus, Kim Kardashian and Lewis Hamilton swap the luxury cars for the very humble Lime bike as they cruise around London. Celebrities: they’re just like us… apparently.

This week, Laura and Carmen are joined by Max Balegde for a chaotic trip down the internet rabbit hole. Max spills the tea on interviewing Zendaya, JLo, Millie Bobby Brown, Austin Butler and Paul Mescal, including the Nando’s gift card that sent his Millie interview viral and why his northern accent might be his secret weapon. And, they dive into Max’s favourite internet moments, from “grandpa who ate paint” and cursed Halloween costumes to Tokyo Toni and unhinged TikToks. Plus, Max reveals how accidentally flashing the postman, drunken posting and a Disneyland video turned him into the “Disney guy” and gained him a million followers.

This week, Laura and Carmen are left baffled by the Sydney Sweeney “Sports” ad backlash, wonder whether the internet has completely lost the plot and get stuck into the frankly unhinged world of Hyrox, after one athlete shits herself mid-race and simply carries on. And, the girls discuss Martha Stewart releasing her nudes in her 80s, the secret to ageing well and the alleged Bake Off beef between Nigella Lawson and Paul Hollywood, including one very suspicious helicopter. Plus, Meghan Markle’s mum WhatsApp group, and whether there is anything she can do right.

Laura and Carmen are joined by comedian Seann Walsh for a chaotic deep dive into cruise life, British vs American etiquette, and why you should NEVER get in a lift with an American. And they discuss Instagram as a relationship performance review and the very specific and bizarre things comedians send each other online. Plus, Seann shares the schoolboy love story that ended with a secret crush and a spectacular face-first disaster. Seann is on tour from this October!

This week, Laura and Carmen are left heartbroken by the Spice Girls’ “big announcement” after they mistook the heavily teased reveal for a full reunion. They also talk Jennifer Lawrence’s warning to Instagram trolls, influencers at the US Open, Rita Ora’s social media fail and classic “my account was hacked” posts. Elsewhere, the girls imagine what Elon Musk’s ex-girlfriend could reveal after reportedly refusing a £40 million NDA, debate the most unforgivable billionaire habits and react to Donald Trump’s reported $5,000 voting proposal. Plus, there’s outrage over £25 drinks at the O2, a deep dive into the return of Celebrity Traitors, Ross Kemp versus James Acaster and the question of whether anyone can ever top Alan Carr. Away from the celebrity chaos, Laura shares her girls’ sleepover at her sisters 50th -matching pyjamas, a pool, hot tub and Bridesmaids - while Carmen reports back from Greece, including the Acropolis, Paros and a very suspicious henna tattoo.
