Welcome to the Highloat, the weekly conversation between Dolly Alderton and Pandora Sites.

Just keep washing the hands and keep going, you know?

Karana.

The absolute splendor of Gemma Collins has been exhibited so much more than usual during this pandemic, I think.

I saw a tweet the other day where someone Chloe had tweeted her saying, like,

if you like at Gemma Collins, then you're a fucking idiot or something.

And she just retweeted it with the comment, have a day off Chloe Han, in a kiss.

I think describing someone a day off is one of the best put downs of all time.

I think the kiss at the end is the best.

Have a day off Chloe Han.

I've really been enjoying a Diva in lockdown.

Diva in lockdown and Grayson Perry's art club are both very happy making programs for very different reasons.

So I've watched Grayson Perry's art club and I think it's joyous.

Can you please give me the low down on Diva in lockdown?

It's so joyous isn't it? Grayson Perry has such a warmth and he's got the most charming laugh and the relationship between him and the Philippines.

It's gorgeous. It's a really like galvanising thing to watch.

Diva in lockdown is basically, I think ITV had to do a pivot as so many, you know, channels have had to do.

They were in the middle of filming a documentary with her, not documentary, you know, a reality series with her.

And then the pandemic happened and so they just had to slap on a sort of lockdown set, became Diva in lockdown.

But she comes across really well. It's very funny. It's very enjoyable. It's very tongue in cheek.

See, I've heard that it could be a piece of like documentarian history because someone who works in TV told me that that original show was meant to be about her launching a business.
