This week on Unlikely Friends, the first topic out of the mix is shopping trolleys, which sparks chat about dodgy wheels, the thrill of sitting in the trolley as your mum pushed you round, and all the strange little memories that come with a supermarket trip.

From there, the gang move on to radio. Emma reflects on her long career hosting the Heart breakfast show, sharing what she misses most and what she definitely does not. Leigh talks about his own time on Virgin Radio and why he found radio a surprisingly lonely place, while Jade reveals a genuinely fascinating detail from his past: growing up with a pirate radio station in his house.

Elsewhere, gold leads to some fairly eye-watering stye chat, while charity work brings out some heartfelt conversation as Emma talks about the causes closest to her. Plus, Pauline the Pineapple rounds things off with a longer letter touching on Emma’s Irish country roots.

This week on Unlikely Friends, Jill wonders whether turning 50 really feels any different, while the gang get stuck into the timeless issue of embarrassing parents — and whether that ever actually stops, even once you’ve hit 50 yourself. Jade reveals he’s something of an expert when it comes to mortifying his kids, while everyone shares stories of the many ways mums and dads can still make you cringe.

There’s also a passionate debate over breakfast in bed — is it a thoughtful treat, or is no one really asking for eggs in the sheets? And then comes Pauline the Pineapple’s big reveal: which Unlikely Friend is responsible for the death of a pet? CLUE: it might be more than you think.

Louis Spence — friend of the show and, in particular, friend of Emma Bunton — joins Unlikely Friends with a round of spicy questions that spark even spicier answers. It all kicks off with: what is it the person opposite you doesn’t know about you? That opens the door to some gloriously revealing chat, including Emma’s bathing habits, a particularly disgusting confession from Jade Jones, and even a detour into Jade’s grey moustache. Alongside the chaos, there’s also a more thoughtful conversation about the joys, lessons and unexpected benefits of having children.
