  Hello and welcome back it's House of Gossip with Clara Garner and Sophie Lyons. How is my delectable co-host this festive fun and fruity summery to use?

• Speaker #1

  She's very well. It's hotter than she thought this morning so she dressed poorly.

• Speaker #0

  We're both in wool that was stupid.

• Speaker #1

  No, this is like, it's not walled, but it's inappropriate nonetheless.

• Speaker #0

  Okay, it's a jumper. Yeah.

• Speaker #1

  But very well, nothing to complain about, to be honest. I feel like summer is...

• Speaker #0

  I'm happy today.

• Speaker #1

  We're on the precipice of summer.

• Speaker #0

  We're on the cusp. We had a great little night out over the weekend, so I'm buzzing from that. Had a huge hangover, not going to lie. Went straight to a festival. Really just, yeah, I can't do those.

• Speaker #1

  You did a legitimate rollover.

• Speaker #0

  Yeah, and went to Westfield. Night out with all the sisters, the Lyons sisters, the Kavanagh sisters. Missed my sister, Sophie. And then the next day I went to a festival. Honest to God, Monday I was a one watt bulb.

• Speaker #1

  I mean, Westfield alone would do that to you. When you guys were talking about it, I was like, I never want to go there again.

• Speaker #0

  Stressful. Like the crowds tripled in size.

• Speaker #1

• Speaker #1

• Speaker #0

  Ocean Gate will be out like a good while yes we should we all need to discuss that and just like that will be out we'll need to do a bit of a love hate watch oh my god yeah I also just started watching Sirens there the other night I'm going to download that for the plane I've just started episode three there's only five only five cute cute I kissed a boy iPlayer just in case watch it now it's the best thing ever oh okay Love Island for gays. It's beautiful. Danny Minogue. It's gorgeous. It's great. Season two is fucking sassy as fuck. It's amazing. Copy. It's really, really good. Yeah. So this week, there's been some really legal stuff in the news at the moment that a lot of other gossipy stories have just passed us by. So what we wanted to do today was take a little look, a peek under Hollywood's red carpet and just see, is there anything we've missed due to... the like Jojo Siwa's of the world, the Kim Kardashian trials, Diddy, what have you. It's kind of clogged up the news feeds. So we just kind of want to have a bit of a chat about some of the other stories. So Sophie,

• Speaker #1

  what? You angled that very nicely. I thought we were just sort of doing a bon voyage to your honeymoon with some celeb goss on the side. But you packaged that up very nicely. I'm not going to lie. I'm so engulfed in the legal issues that a lot of the stuff I I'm like, I'm just so engulfed in the other stuff. But one thing that...

• Speaker #0

  It's a great time to have a celebrity scandal or a divorce to come out because people are so distracted.

• Speaker #1

  Totally, very Beckhams-esque. Sorry, did you see Brooklyn put that video up taking a swipe being like, I'll always choose you. And then Cruise sent a sassy thing back.

• Speaker #0

  Yeah, I like the way the fangs are coming out, girlies.

• Speaker #1

  I think I sent it to you just before I met you on Saturday and it was like, mum and dad. I love you with all my heart. You, you've always, it was just so, anyway, it's so excellent. That will be developing, I'd say, the whole time you're on your honeymoon. So make sure you hit it up an internet cafe. The one thing I thought that was interesting was Ekansu and Curtis Pritchard have corner quits.

• Speaker #0

  I can't believe they lasted that long since.

• Speaker #1

  Three months. Three months post Villa. And what's odd about the timing is he's going to be on some other dating show. Yes. What's odd about the timing is she just put up a very gushing tweet last week saying how proud of him he was because he's doing some boxing thing. He's trying to become a boxer. Classic. And she was like, I just want you to know a week ago how incredibly proud I am of you. Watching you train so hard and getting a little bit of a win or lose. You're a champion in my eyes. I love you.

• Speaker #0

  Oh.

• Speaker #1

  So me thinks there's a foul plot of us. And I think I know why. Well, allegedly, there's this guy who is.

• Speaker #0

  So it seems a bit abrupt.

• Speaker #1

  Married at first sight UK. His name is Georges Berthano.

• Speaker #0

  Oh my gosh. What? No, I know him. George.

• Speaker #1

  They apparently were in a relationship when she went into the villa and they made an agreement that she could still go to the villa if she stuck to certain guidelines. Okay. And they could still be together. And she obviously didn't. So he has said he's come out officially. He's a personal trainer. They agree that if she stuck to a set of boundaries, she could appear on it to further her career. And then they would go back to being together once the show wrapped. But he was left devastated after then Ekins who and Curtis became boyfriend and girlfriend on TV. And then he said they had exchanged messages when she came out of the villa, when she was still with Curtis. And he said on the day before my birthday, she was out with him that night and they had an argument. And she was messaging me while he was asleep in bed with her being like, I need to see you, blah, blah, blah. And he said, I've got receipts on my phone. And he said, I'm happy to meet Curtis to show him said receipts. Oh no. And her rep, Klein comment.

• Speaker #0

  Oh. Yeah. What a bloody showmance that was then.

• Speaker #1

  Between him and Curtis. I mean, I blame him.

• Speaker #0

  Curtis is like the king of fucking showmances. Curtis. But also, that guy, I remember, I said, George, he was in, I remember him from, it was an amazing year of Married at First Sight UK.

• Speaker #1

  Ten months in a relationship. That's not, that's quite long.

• Speaker #0

  That's not to be sniffed at, especially for two reality stars.

• Speaker #1

  And I feel like they're, Or... Their Instagram statements are kind of different. Just, I feel like there's a bit of read between the lines.

• Speaker #0

  And it seems abrupt.

• Speaker #1

  Yeah, but I feel like this is definitely why, you know?

• Speaker #0

  Yes. Sorry, yes.

• Speaker #1

  Curtis started his with, It's true. And I have decided to go our separate ways.

• Speaker #0

  Do you know what I think, though? Because I didn't watch her year of Love Island. And she won Love Island. Did she? She stayed with your man from Love Island, but then he ended up cheating on her nonstop. But she went into Celebrity Big Brother. after that she wasn't in a good headspace but she was trying to be that like Love Island caricature but then didn't portray herself very well and got into all these fights just that the format of Big Brother just didn't suit her she didn't get cancelled but like people were just a bit outraged by all her behavior it just seems like she's kind of living in the shadow of being this like her first hit when she was amazing on that first season of Love Island it seems like she keeps trying to redo that but then not dealing with the pressures of fame and all the tabloid attention.

• Speaker #1

  But then he's also just like Curtis. She's fab. She'll find someone else.

• Speaker #0

  But yeah, she obviously picked the worst person. Why do you keep... He's the king of showmances. So like, why are you...

• Speaker #1

  Can we just ask, like, what is his allure?

• Speaker #0

  How has he gotten that many gorgeous women?

• Speaker #1

  I don't know. Allure. Is it because he's like a gal at the start?

• Speaker #0

  He is such a gal.

• Speaker #1

  And then he had his wandering eye during the show. Make everyone cough, please. And I'm also the person that wants to make everyone a... a coffee in the morning. He's such a child. If I want to have a cuddle and you want to have a cuddle I'm also the person that wants to get up and make everyone a coffee in the morning so they're ready for the day.

• Speaker #0

  Really?

• Speaker #1

  Anyway, good luck to you, Akinsu.

• Speaker #0

  Good luck to you. Just pick somebody just not famous. I think you're going down the...

• Speaker #1

  Yeah, I think like a business man.

• Speaker #0

  That's just too much. Because yeah, she's a fab girlie but like, I don't know, it's a lot. It's like getting with like Pete Wicks, you know, your man from Towie. It's like, why do you think that you're going to change him. Like he is who he is.

• Speaker #1

  Oh, Maura was with him as well.

• Speaker #0

  Yeah. Did that last? No, he was like cheating on her as soon as they got together. There's just too many of those like reality TV, like dogs. It's like Callum Best. It's like you'll never tame that man. He's too busy sewing his wild oats.

• Speaker #1

  I saw him at Mighty Hoopla a few years ago.

• Speaker #0

  Who, Callum Best?

• Speaker #1

  Yeah.

• Speaker #0

  Wow.

• Speaker #1

  I have a photo with him, I think.

• Speaker #0

  Oh my gosh, amazing.

• Speaker #1

  He was in the VIP section.

• Speaker #0

  Of course he was.

• Speaker #1

  Gazza, you tell me one of the supplies that you have.

• Speaker #0

  Yes, I've got one little mini one. Did you know there's going to be a Mamma Mia 3? And guess who they're eyeing up?

• Speaker #1

  Who?

• Speaker #0

  Sabrina Carpenter. That could be amazing.

• Speaker #1

  Oh my God.

• Speaker #0

  She's got acting charisma. She can sing. She's kind of like Amanda Seyfried.

• Speaker #1

  Do you know what she'd be?

• Speaker #0

  Deadline is just reporting. Global phenomenon.

• Speaker #1

  That's unreal.

• Speaker #0

  And Deadline are like a legitimate website that Sabrina Carpenter is being sought for the role of for the next picture.

• Speaker #1

  I know that I would watch. The second one was kind of melancholic.

• Speaker #0

  Yeah, no. Like Meryl Streep is the heart of the film. Don't get rid of the heart.

• Speaker #1

  I just don't want anyone passing away.

• Speaker #0

  No.

• Speaker #1

  I just I'd rather that not happen. I also find that difficult in my big fat Greek wedding too. And they were just really leaning into the parents getting older. It just made me sad.

• Speaker #0

  Yeah, it's just a bit much. Mamma Mia's going back to Broadway soon. And they're talking about making a TV show of it. Now that's where I draw the line. I'm just like pick one. Give me a third film or TV show.

• Speaker #1

  There should be like a body that has to scan these things and be like, you know, don't milk this. You know, like you can do this, but don't do that. Do you know what I mean?

• Speaker #0

  You just get one choice.

• Speaker #1

  Yeah, like I get the Broadway and I get the movie number three, but a TV show, no.

• Speaker #0

  No, because it's like, what's it going to be unless it's a TV version of the movie? But it's like, why mess with perfection?

• Speaker #1

  Well, they did do that reality one, which was actually quite good. They're trying to find the Mamma Mia. for the west end we i watched like an episode or two of my sister like a few years ago and it was actually quite good sorry wasn't um what's his name alan carr part of that oh maybe that's why obviously everything he touches is gold turns turns fabulous to terracotta beautiful

• Speaker #0

  terracotta and the blues okay my next one i just want to know your opinions on this because obviously is like the queen of sorry my self-described queen of um tinfoil hats. I just want to know your opinion on this because I don't, is this a tinfoil hat or is it an actual genuine theory? So I know your finger has been on the pulse with the whole Diddy trial. During Cassie's testimony, she was mentioning her 21st birthday and the name Britney Spears at that party. Back of the boxes, Britney Spears' 2007 Las Vegas parties were hosted by Sean Diddy Combs are being linked to her infamous VMA performance. Do you remember that one that she did with the bad wig and the weird two-piece?

• Speaker #1

  That was awful.

• Speaker #0

  Britney goes on this big mad night out and then the next day she performs at the VMAs. And this was supposed to be her big comeback, but she was clearly like dead behind the eyes, not in a good physical or mental health space.

• Speaker #1

  And miming really badly.

• Speaker #0

  Exactly. And like shoved on stage and like not the right team behind her.

• Speaker #1

  She didn't have her original manager. No.

• Speaker #0

  So and then months after she had attended a few of Diddy's parties and the VMA show, Britney was placed under her 13-year-long conservatorship. So now fans are kind of conspiring or maybe jumping to conclusions that these parties may have sabotaged Britney Spears' career, influenced diserotic behaviour, and part of the reason why she ended up in the conservatorship. What are your thoughts?

• Speaker #1

  A saboteur on purpose. So, sorry, someone concocted that she would attend these parties to ruin that performance.

• Speaker #0

  She was partying with Diddy at the time.

• Speaker #1

  Oh, right. I thought you meant there was an intention behind the saboteur. No,

• Speaker #0

  but there's people pulling out photos that like she was out the night before that VMA performance. So she was partying at that freak off level.

• Speaker #1

  But she was always partying in that era. Like that piece of me video shoot, I'm pretty sure she came from a night out.

• Speaker #0

  Yeah. And like the shaving of the head.

• Speaker #1

  She also said that had nothing to do with drugs. And she was like, I was going through something and I wanted to shave my head. You know when she does that? Britney Spears is it called this is me or something where she's like doing circus and stuff and she makes her return to the VMAs in that silver dress yes yes and she's like herself again in inverted commas and she's talking very frankly and she's clearly like done a lot of therapy and stuff and she's like people are saying that I was off my head on drugs and she was like people shave their heads all the time and she was like I was going through a horrific time and you know my kids were this and my Baby daddy does that and stuff like that. Like, I don't... Yeah, I think it's true. I think you're partying anyway, like. She wasn't ready. She shouldn't have done that. No. But she didn't have the people advice, like...

• Speaker #0

  But, yeah, I suppose, yeah, did she have, like, a diddy, freak-off-sized hangover whilst then having to perform with the VMAs the next day?

• Speaker #1

  What, like, she was participating in the freak-off?

• Speaker #0

  Maybe not in the freak-offs, but that level of drug-taking might have been going on, so... To be honest, he's to be blamed for a lot of things, but I just think that's too long a bow to... What's that phrase? Much of a thread to pull. Yeah, I agree with you. I think she was in a terrible position well before any of these. I just think that's maybe a conspiracy that's going to occur.

• Speaker #1

  Also, like, not one of Hangover makes such a bad performance. Make. Yeah. Yeah. Because that was an accumulative, like, I don't have the stamina for this. There was no rehearsal. It wasn't just like she was hungover.

• Speaker #0

  You know, all the like, and I feel like all the Free Britney people love kind of drawing two and two together a little bit. So yes, I thought that was just an interesting one and a conspiracy.

• Speaker #1

  not gonna subscribe to you i don't really believe it also just to um caveat cassie's husband we had a lovely listener write in jenny and she said that cassie's husband is in mob land and he is he's as bad yeah and they were in london for the premiere last month with cassie shut up shut up jenny jenny I was like, oh my God, it's your man, the one with the... And she was like, yeah. Whoa. I know.

• Speaker #0

  What a fun fact.

• Speaker #1

  I know. I really liked that fun fact. So thank you, Jenny.

• Speaker #0

  Thank you, Jenny.

• Speaker #1

  Also a bit of competition for Madeline. Madeline always right then.

• Speaker #0

• Speaker #1

  One last viewing before you go off to Asia, to be fair. It's a nice way to start your honeymoon off.

I kissed a boy. all those shows because we'll definitely be talking about them when we come back I might do a feature out on one of them if we're really passionate about it yes number one would be on Just Like That but we have to see how good or bad it is or how much you want to scream at your telly I have good I have good hope for it hope for it I wasn't blown away with the trailer like the rats bit and the like clearly Aidan's back I'm like oh god okay but I'm excited to talk about it Aidan was a boner killer at the last one five years goes just like that five years you could be dead Oh my God. Five years ago was COVID. I was like single and living with my parents five years ago. In a global pandemic.
