Summary
This week, Giovanna Fletcher joins Pete for an episode that goes from heartfelt to completely unhinged - from their emotional CoppaFeel treks to Pete spiralling over his and Sam Thompson’s hypothetical daughters, Olive and Rose, Pete faces his worst nightmare: puberty, s*x, boyfriends… and a completely unhinged duck willy conversation no one was prepared for.
Giovanna also tells the full story of falling in love with Tom Fletcher at just 13 years old, how they survived growing up in the spotlight, and the unexpected rule that’s kept their relationship strong for decades. She also delivers some brutally honest dating advice to Pete - and exposes exactly where he’s been going wrong.
Plus, Giovanna reveals her link to Paddington Bear - and Pete announces he’s going to visit him himself…
