Hello there, I'm Tauara Antfo and welcome back to this city, a podcast dedicated to the stories, the places and the people of our wonderful capital city, London.

Now, each episode, I'll be talking to some of the city's most recognisable names, whether they were born here or have made it their second home

to hear their very own love letter to London.

Well, hello there and happy new year and welcome to the final and bonus episode of series two of this city.

And this week's guest is somebody who I absolutely

adore. I mean, look, to be honest, I adore all my guests. And I'm so grateful to everybody

that has joined us on our journey around London so far. This week, I'm delighted to be

joined by singer and actor just all around artistic delight. O Alexander, best known as lead singer of amazing pop act years and years.

And most recently has been breaking our hearts in the incredible It's the Sin,

which you can now watch on Channel 4.

Why did you see your face make me OLLI, OLLI, OLLI, OLLI, Alexander, hello

Hiya, welcome to my podcast, dear listener, I'm just letting you know now, there is a slight delay. This is the

reality of life in lockdown. The audio quality may not be, you know, perfect, but my guest is

Ollie, Alexander. There's a slight delay. Welcome to this city, my love. Oh, thank you. Thank you for having me.

Now, it's it's a pleasure to see your face, your beautiful shining face and hear your beautiful

voice. Oh, back at you. I think, Joel, I'm so used to seeing you these days, like via a screen,

whether you're, you know, pretending to be somebody else

or very much being yourself and hula hooping.

I've really enjoyed the Hula Hoop Chronicles.

Likewise.

Do you know, I really flocked with me.

I need to kind of get back into the hula hooping zone.
