Summary
The playlist is open and the cupboard door is closed and locked! Take a deep breath... In this episode, Fi is underwhelmed by a French B&B, she’s over-enthusiastic about putting your arms above your head, and she’s downright put off by the idea of climbing a mountain.
Plus, TV personality Spencer Matthews chats to Times Radio’s Rosie Wright about completing an epic challenge: seven Ironman triathlons on seven continents in just 21 days.
