GARDENING EXPERT: MIKE THE GARDENER 👨🌾
Gardening guru Mike Palmer (aka Mike the Gardener) shows how anyone can create a mini wildlife pond — even in the smallest space. Using a simple whisky barrel and a few plants, he explains how to attract frogs, dragonflies, and birds while adding a beautiful focal point to your garden. A little effort, a lot of life. 🐸

| 0:01.6 | Prince William wrote to me when my mom was poorly. |
| 0:05.2 | Wow. |
| 0:05.6 | And it meant the world to her. |
| 0:07.6 | Oh my God. |
| 0:08.9 | You know what today is, don't you, Joe? |
| 0:11.2 | Celebrity Traitor starts today. |
| 0:12.7 | Of course is. |
| 0:13.3 | I cannot wait. |
| 0:15.6 | What the hell? |
| 0:16.8 | You're tiny! |
| 0:18.2 | His head is really tiny stuff. |
| 0:19.7 | I told you. All of that right after this. |
| 0:27.9 | Digit is sponsored by Stripe and Stair. Can I say, Joe, I think comfort has become my number one priority with clothes now, especially underwear. |
| 0:39.9 | Hell yeah. I mean, life is simply too short to be uncomfortable. There are items in my wardrobe. |
| 0:46.2 | I think maybe there's one thong and maybe there's a couple of crop tops like brawlets, which I really like, that are quite tight because I like to be compressed if I've got a t-shirt on. But on the days when I don't need to wear those, I just want to hang loose and I want to have a really nice soft fabric. And that is my ultimate dream bit of underwear. That's why I love stripe and stare so much. Their knickers are unbelievably comfortable. They're soft, they're breathable, really kind to your skin. Yeah, they're made from natural fibres. There are no nasty chemicals. And I think you really notice the difference straight away. And I love that they don't just stop at knickers. Their brawlets are brilliant, no underwire, no digging in. And their sleepwear is so comfy, you won't want to take it off in the morning. Honestly, once you start wearing them, they just slowly take over your drawer. They do, and they do them in lovely colours. It feels like one of those small upgrades that makes a huge difference to your day. Yeah, and also, Stripe and Stair are a female-led B-Corp, which is something I really love supporting. If you want to try them, visit stripe and stare.com and use the code |

| 1:59.1 | sofa for you? Oh, good sofa. It's got to be |
| 2:01.2 | massive. There's a load of us. And it's got to be nice and deep and seriously comfortable. I also, I always agonise over the fabric and the colour as well. Because it's obviously, it's like the centrepiece of your home. It's one of the most important decisions that you make when you're coming to |
