Summary
Louise’s dad, Mike Thompson, joins us as our very first guest!
From what Louise was really like growing up, to sibling rivalries with Sam, suspensions and a very disciplined upbringing, Mike gives us a glimpse into what life was like in the Thompson household. We also discuss why he carries quail’s eggs, how becoming a grandfather has softened him, and his advice for Louise and Ryan as they try for their second child.
But the moment everyone will be waiting for: Mike has never watched Made in Chelsea. So we show him the iconic bridge scene with Louise and Spencer Matthews. His reaction is not what we were expecting…
We also put him to the test with Love Island, Gen Z slang, BuzzBallz, and finally the ultimate question from listeners: who is his favourite child, Sam or Louise?
