Summary
It’s a full Thompson takeover this week, with Sam and mum Karen joining Louise.
We get into teenage Louise… and it’s more chaotic than anyone remembers. This sparks a few long-overdue apologies from Louise, and some honesty about their family dynamic now. But it doesn’t stop there. Louise has something she’s been holding onto, and it opens up a conversation they’ve never had before as she asks for an apology of her own...
We also had to talk Made in Chelsea… with Karen’s reaction to them joining, plus her take on one of their most heated arguments. And of course, your questions: Sam as an uncle, the “favourite child” debate, and Sam as an uncle...Is he as good as Louise expected?
