Summary

Fresh out of the chaos of Love Island, Helena Ford is spilling EVERYTHING. From the infamous 'sitting on Samโ€™s face' tweet to what Samโ€™s ex (and WINNER of Love Island: All Stars) really said about him behind the scenes.


We get the honest truth about the heart rate challenge - and just how painfully awkward it really is behind the scenes, the inside scoop on the Lauren and Harrison drama, and the explosive pie moment between Lucinda and Samie. Helena also reveals her favourite and least favourite islander, and the bombshell she really wanted to enter the villa.


Plus, Pete delivers a recoupling speech that might be the most dramatic of the series, and Helena exposes how a chance moment as a flight attendant got her scouted for the show.

Now, what Pete's going to hate here is my iPad has just run up battery, so I'm going to fly completely blind on this one.

to why we're sat on the same sofa. We, there was only one person we could get on this podcast
