This week we delve into Trump's so-called peace summit with Putin in Alaska and ask the question on everyone’s lips: where the helly is Zelensky? From radicalised grannies to J.D. Vance causing a right scene in the Cotswolds - and not forgetting the Kardashian chin strap - it’s not one to miss.

We are sooo back! Apologies again for our disappearing act last week but every now and then life gets in the way of our podcast commitments (I know, how rude). Today we're getting into the Tea app's hacking nightmare and what it means for womens' safety in the world of dating. We also unpack the Sydney Sweeney scandal – valid or total overreaction? From oyster harvesting in The Gambia to Pamela Anderson and Liam Neeson becoming the latest it couple, this ep hopefully makes up for our week of silence! (boy can we yap yap yap away about the news).

Also shout out to Lewis who made his debut in today's episode – he always makes sure our production is tippety top (even when Annabel is being a pain and won't sit still!).

Until next week 🤟🏻

In this week's episode, we delve into *that* viral kiss cam moment that united the world and tore apart a family all before lunch. From toxic relationships being played out on screen to our almighty Lionesses taking a stand - and exploring the ugly, complex depths of the Epstein files. And not forgetting, the big, royal elephant in the room: Will Haz and Meg clear the heir with the rest of the fam?
