Welcome to Unlikely Friends, the new podcast from Spice Girl Emma Bunton, comedian Leigh Francis (also known as Keith Lemon), Damage frontman Jade Jones and Jill Francis.

It’s a funny, honest and unpredictable show where no topic is off limits - and the best thing is, you, the listeners dictate the conversation.

In this first episode, the gang answer questions pulled from a pineapple that’s named after Emma’s mum. You’ll understand why once you listen! They also reveal how this group of unlikely friends got their name, thanks to the Daily Mail.

Listener Bev from Tyneside asks the first question: What’s the biggest purchase you’ve ever made? Where Leigh admits to buying a costume from Teen Wolf, Michael Hutchence’s jacket from INXS and even a Cavapooshon dog. Jade confesses to spending a lot on vinyl, while Emma and Jill admit to a few boozy regrets that introduce the term “Hanxiety" to the group.

There's chat about menopause, low libido, “upper action” and why Leigh no longer feels anxiety now he’s over 50.

Plus why did Andrew Garfield (yes, Spider-Man) ghost the text messages from them all and which famous Italian singer did Emma Bunton once duet with?
