Summary

Sam is away in Australia this week, so we’ve brought in a very special friend of the pod to co-host with Pete as the brilliant Vicky Pattison joins us!!

With over a decade of friendship behind them, Vicky opens up for the first time about her experience on Strictly, what it was really like on the show, and how she felt when her time came to an end. They also chat about I’m A Celeb, marking ten years since Vicky entered the jungle, and whether she has any ambitions to return to TV.

They also chat about their early days as friends, Pete’s first impressions of her husband Ercan back when they got together, and Pete’s shot at becoming godfather to her future kids.
