Cally also shares her tales of life on the dating scene, being ghosted and why she’ll never stop eating cinnamon buns. Plus: what’s with all the big birthday nudes & would you rank your friends?

| 0:00.0 | It's time for a commercial message from Inghams Walking, where you set the pace on a stay-and-walk holiday. |
| 0:06.2 | Cast your mind back, Trish, to when I said we should take a road trip together in a massive RV across America. |
| 0:11.9 | And you said, absolutely not. We'll kill each other. |
| 0:14.3 | Yes, I do remember that. |
| 0:16.1 | But guess what? I have found a holiday, which would suit us both because it involves one of our favourite |
| 0:21.3 | activities walking. Oh yes, we do love a walk. Tell me, where am I going? What do I have to do? |

| 1:14.4 | who are either in resort or just a phone call away. |
| 1:17.7 | This makes Ingrams walking a great choice if you want to go solo with a family or perhaps |
