Speaker 1: On today's show, Sky Wheatley's vaginal tightening procedure, Northwest chowles
Speaker 1: down on an onion Jeordie Shaw star Gary Beadle announces
Speaker 1: his shock divorce and a TikTok theory about quitting your job. Hello,
Speaker 1: and welcome to Outspoken. It's your dose of the hottest
Speaker 1: influencer and pop culture news twice a week. I'm Sophie
Speaker 1: Torbert and okay, it's just you and I today because
Speaker 1: it appears Amy is still recovering from a Hen's party. Yeah,
Speaker 1: so it's been what a day and a bit and
Speaker 1: she decided that it was all a bit too much
Speaker 1: for her. She didn't even get drunk or anything. It's
Speaker 1: literally just been days and days of work to get
Speaker 1: ready for this Hens. I am exhausted. You touched on
Speaker 1: the fact that she didn't get drunk. She had a
Speaker 1: few pims and lemonades, because we did set up a
Speaker 1: pims and lemonade stand. Amy actually did paint the sign herself.
Speaker 1: I have to give her props for that because she
Speaker 1: wanted to be very involved. But her partner Dale did
Speaker 1: give our bride'sman a task bridesman, so he had left
Speaker 1: an eski under his desk with all the ingredients to
Speaker 1: make skittle bombs, and he really wanted Amy to be
Speaker 1: able to let her hair down. And the reason it
Speaker 1: was skittle bombs is because probably five or eight years ago,
Speaker 1: we had a really fun night out on the towns. Yeah,
Speaker 1: it was our friend's Hens party and she had had
Speaker 1: quite a few skittle bombs and she was ticking along nicely,
Speaker 1: so he wanted her to have some. But I made
Speaker 1: a quite toxic batch of them, i'd say, and everyone
Speaker 1: either they ended up being thrown into the garden or refused. Well,
Speaker 1: my job was making the jugs of pims and lemonade,
Speaker 1: and I got some great feedback. Mum said it was
Speaker 1: a really good mix. I was blown away by how
Speaker 1: everyone got so into the theme. Everyone's outfits looked incredible.
Speaker 1: A few of us were saying, God, we should wear
Speaker 1: this tennis stuff all the time because it's quite a vibe.
Speaker 1: It really was a vibe. It was very stressful on
Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon because we had flagged it with Amy that
Speaker 1: it was going to be a lot of work to
Speaker 1: transform her outdoor entertaining area into Wimbledon. Look, I'm actually
Speaker 1: quite relieved that her party is finally over because it's
Speaker 1: been exhausting. And the reason I never wanted Amy to
Speaker 1: have it at her house is because the poor thing,
Speaker 1: she ended up having to do a lot of the
Speaker 1: work herself as well, so she was getting up trying
Speaker 1: to serve people, giving people drinks, and I just wanted
Speaker 1: her to sit down and enjoy it, because it's the
Speaker 1: one day when I think that you should be waited on.
Speaker 1: Maybe we should have got topless waiters. It might have
Speaker 1: been easy. Oh, that would have been a much better idea. Yeah,
Speaker 1: because we did have a pizza van, but they were
Speaker 1: kind of parked in the corner and we wanted to
Speaker 1: do a sit down mill as well. In hindsight, it
Speaker 1: would have been better if it was kind of more
Speaker 1: mingled and people could go up. But we were slaves
Speaker 1: to everyone, so if you and I were serving pizza,
Speaker 1: serving drinks with the hostesses the most asses. I want
Speaker 1: to give a tip for anyone who's planning a Hen's party.
Speaker 1: You might have seen on TikTok or on Instagram the
Speaker 1: people are printing off really colorful place mats, kind of
Speaker 1: that wavy desire. So I ordered the template off Etsy
Speaker 1: and then custom made it to suit Amy's theme and
Speaker 1: they were a hit. So I included the games on there.
Speaker 1: I had the menu on there. You only then have
Speaker 1: to print one thing off and they looked really good. Yeah.
Speaker 1: Can that be manipulated for yours? Or do I need
Speaker 1: to get another template? I might be a bit of
Speaker 1: a henzilla. I might want a different template. I don't know.
Speaker 2: Oh, you guys a bit about it later.
Speaker 1: Sky Wheatley has revealed she recently underwent a vaginal tightening procedure. Now.
Speaker 1: The former Big Brother star openly discussed her decision on
Speaker 1: her Instagram story to her six hundred and twenty five
Speaker 1: thousand followers. She also didn't mind talking about it in
Speaker 1: front of her two young sons, who were sitting in
Speaker 1: the cart while she was filming the stories. I did
Speaker 1: notice that she avoided using the term vaginal tightening, so
Speaker 1: she wrote that term on the screen instead. She didn't mind, though,
Speaker 1: talking out loud about her boyfriend Lockie Ware's opinion on
Speaker 1: her vagina, so she said that he didn't have any
Speaker 1: complaints about it. I feel like I need to throw
Speaker 1: to a clip to give this justice. Not that luck
Speaker 1: you had any complaints that I always ask him. I'm
Speaker 1: like babe, what's a feeling like? You feel good? And
Speaker 1: he's like, yeah, babe, nothing to worry about.
Speaker 2: But I'm just I just really wanted to try the treatment,
Speaker 2: and I I would highly recommend.
Speaker 1: This is why Sky Wheatley remains uncancellable. These types of
Speaker 1: conversations that you never expect to hear out loud from
Speaker 1: other people is why people keep tuning in to her content.
Speaker 1: I think it's a conversation that a lot of women
Speaker 1: who have had children could relate to, saying, oh, is
Speaker 1: everything the same? Does it feel the same for you?
Speaker 1: It does concern me a little bit that we're having
Speaker 1: this conversation in the sense that it puts a lot
Speaker 1: of pressure on women. And there is all this discussion
Speaker 1: about bouncing back and the way you look, and now
Speaker 1: we're putting pressure on people to feel as tight as
Speaker 1: they did before having kids. That's the thing. I didn't
Speaker 1: even know that this was a thing. I've always heard
Speaker 1: people speaking about keegel exercises, but but I didn't know
Speaker 1: that people were genuinely going out there and getting vaginal
Speaker 1: tightening procedures. Like, absolutely, no shame if that's what someone
Speaker 1: wants to do to feel better and more confident about themselves.
Speaker 1: But as you said, Kate, I just feel uncomfortable if
Speaker 1: this becomes some sort of default thing that women feel
Speaker 1: like they need to do after having a child, and
Speaker 1: particularly to impress a male partner as well. It reminds
Speaker 1: me of those guys who give a bit of a
Speaker 1: wink to the nurse and say, oh, yeah, add a
Speaker 1: few more stitches in there after their wife's just given birth.
Speaker 1: It's so gross, Yeah, it really is. The whole thing
Speaker 1: with the kids in the car added an extra element
Speaker 1: of awkwardness because while they didn't seem to understand what
Speaker 1: Sky was talking about, a lot of publications picked up
Speaker 1: on this story. So in front of her kids, Sky
Speaker 1: was talking about how the treatment can help with vaginal
Speaker 1: dryness and also sexual pleasure, and it was pretty funny
Speaker 1: because Forrest kept interrupting her and screaming at the camera,
Speaker 1: and She's like, Oh, this is probably a little bit
Speaker 1: inappropriate to talk about in front of them. I'll go
Speaker 1: film another update later on. The optics went great because,
Speaker 1: as you said, Kate, the media had a screenshot of
Speaker 1: her in the car with the kids with that sort
Speaker 1: of headline. Yeah, and all I can think about is
Speaker 1: when they're older and they go google their mum and
Speaker 1: dad's name, this story pops up. It's probably a bit
Speaker 1: too much information for them, lough, it's probably not the
Speaker 1: worst story that they're going to see about their parents'
Speaker 1: pop I am very intrigued to know more about this
Speaker 1: procedure because it was the first time I've ever heard
Speaker 1: about it, and I noticed that Sky did tag the
Speaker 1: clinic that she got the procedure done at, so I
Speaker 1: was wondering if there was some sort of partnership between
Speaker 1: the two. Yeah, I wouldn't be surprised. It reminds me
Speaker 1: of when she was promoting the Calarium at the start
Speaker 1: of the year and there was a lot of backlash
Speaker 1: over her promoting sun beds. I think she sometimes misses
Speaker 1: the mark, even though this is something that maybe she
Speaker 1: thinks is helpful to other women. Some of these procedures
Speaker 1: don't seem to have much scientific basis behind well, this
Speaker 1: one appears to be a little bit different. So A
Speaker 1: study published in the International Journal of Women's Dermatology in
Speaker 1: twenty sixteen stated that sixty seven percent of women who
Speaker 1: underwent this proceed you just saw improvement in vaginal tightness
Speaker 1: after a month, while it increased to eighty seven percent
Speaker 1: after six months, so she might be onto something. And
Speaker 1: for those who might be wondering about the treatment, it
Speaker 1: is called former V and essentially what happens is a
Speaker 1: probe is applied to the vaginal area and it delivers
Speaker 1: a radio frequency that stimulates tissue regeneration and boost collagen production.
Speaker 1: So this basically enhances the skin firmness and strength. That
Speaker 1: sounds really painful and unpleasant. Yeah. I know it's not
Speaker 1: an actual laser, but so if you and I have
Speaker 1: both had our face lasered, and I can't imagine having
Speaker 1: that type of pain in a private area. Sky did
Speaker 1: liken the procedure to the feeling of getting a perhaps
Speaker 1: mean She said, while it was uncomfortable, it wasn't painful.
Speaker 1: But you know when people say that and then you
Speaker 1: go in and get this thing done and it ends
Speaker 1: up being excruciating. Yeah, I feel like everyone has a
Speaker 1: different pain threshold. The thing that I just sort of
Speaker 1: laugh about when I think about this is I can't
Speaker 1: really see men being like, oh, I'm going to do
Speaker 1: this to make sure my partner likes I'm gonna spend
Speaker 1: all this money and do something incredibly uncomfortable and all,
Speaker 1: which just so my wife likes it. What about the
Speaker 1: guys that get penis enlargements. I wouldn't think that would
Speaker 1: be incredibly painful. Yeah, but I don't think that there's
Speaker 1: tons of guys getting penis enlargement. No, true. I mean
Speaker 1: some guys do get vaseectomes after they've had children. I
Speaker 1: think that's a little bit different because it's not cosmetic
Speaker 1: or aimed at the other person's pleasure. With a vasectomy,
Speaker 1: that's a decision that the couple has made together because
Speaker 1: they don't want to have any more children. It does
Speaker 1: benefit women who have been given the mental load of
Speaker 1: thinking about contraception though. Yeah, that's true. I suppose they're
Speaker 1: doing something all right, then I.
Speaker 2: Just love that.
Speaker 1: Another week, another TikTok theory that categorizes which generation you
Speaker 1: hail from. So last week it was all about whether
Speaker 1: you wear invisible socks or longer socks pulled up to
Speaker 1: your calf. Sophie, what are you? I'm, of course team
Speaker 1: invisible socks. I'm a millennial. I have grown up wearing
Speaker 1: invisible socks and thinking that it's embarrassing if you see
Speaker 1: your socks poking out from your shoes. We did used
Speaker 1: to wear knee high socks at school, so I don't
Speaker 1: know if that's just put you off the whole socks
Speaker 1: being visible.
Speaker 2: Well.
Speaker 1: Amy actually bought me a pair of the cool higher
Speaker 1: socks for her hen's party, and I was gonna put
Speaker 1: them on, but then I remembered someone saying that when
Speaker 1: you wear the higher socks, it makes your legs look
Speaker 1: stumpier because it cuts you off at a certain angle,
Speaker 1: and as somebody has quite large carbs, I didn't want
Speaker 1: to take the risk for something as important as a
Speaker 1: hen's party. I'll see I wore them. I was like,
Speaker 1: fuck this, I'm gonna look like a gen Zea with
Speaker 1: my higher socks. UF. I actually quite liked the look. Yeah. Now,
Speaker 1: what is this new TikTok theory? Though? Well, this week
Speaker 1: it's all about your response to someone quitting their job.
Speaker 1: So a TikToker called Samantha She who has sixty thousand followers.
Speaker 1: She came up with a theory that your reaction to
Speaker 1: someone resigning reveals a difference in your generation. So, before
Speaker 1: we get into the theory, how would you react if
Speaker 1: your friend told you they were quitting their job. I
Speaker 1: think I would react with positivity because generally I'm finding
Speaker 1: that my friends acquitting their job to go on and
Speaker 1: do their own thing, whether it's their own business or
Speaker 1: become a freelancer. And I think a lot of us
Speaker 1: millennials and Gen Zettas don't want to be weighed down
Speaker 1: by working for someone else. So often it's because someone's
Speaker 1: going off to do their own thing. So I'm always like,
Speaker 1: that's fantastic, that's great, I mean, very encouraging of that. Well, Sophie,
Speaker 1: I'm happy to say you pass the test for your generation.
Speaker 1: So the theory is that Gen x's and boomers react
Speaker 1: with concern and trepidation, whereas millennials and Gen Zettas respond positively.
Speaker 1: Let's throw to what Samantha said.
Speaker 2: The difference between the generations is like every time that
Speaker 2: I tell someone who's over I don't know forty, that
Speaker 2: I left my job, they're.
Speaker 1: Like, oh my god, what are you going to do?
Speaker 2: Like you don't have a giant job lined up? Like
Speaker 2: aren't you nervous? Like don't you have to pay? And
Speaker 2: then whenever I tells someone that is like I don't know,
Speaker 2: twenties or early thirties, they're like sleep clean, congratulations less
Speaker 2: go celebrate. You're the best, You're the barm You're an icon.
Speaker 1: I think social media plays a big part in this,
Speaker 1: because you see influences online earning big bucks for going
Speaker 1: against the nine to five trend. And I think a
Speaker 1: lot of young people dream about working for themselves and
Speaker 1: having that work life balance of flexibility. I think a
Speaker 1: lot of young people become disillusioned when they do finally
Speaker 1: get a nine to five job because they're like, is
Speaker 1: this it? Like this is shit. You're just gonna eat
Speaker 1: an onion like an apple. This is what she does people.
Speaker 1: She eats veggies like apple. Kim Kardashian's ten year old
Speaker 1: daughter at Northwest has shocked viewers by eating a raw
Speaker 1: onion like an apple on a recent episode of The Kardashians.
Speaker 1: When I saw this, all I could think about was
Speaker 1: that scene in Sign Fell when George Gastanza mistakens an
Speaker 1: onion for an apple and just quiets into it all.
Speaker 1: The difference here is that north didn't make a mistake.
Speaker 1: According to Kim, she eats a lot of different vegetables
Speaker 1: like apple. I love that Kim said that with such conviction,
Speaker 1: and she didn't acknowledge the fact that eating a vegetable
Speaker 1: like an onion is very strange because most people can't
Speaker 1: even handle cutting up an onion without crying, but actually
Speaker 1: biting into it and having the smell and the scent.
Speaker 1: How could you eat that? Yeah, it's not something that
Speaker 1: you really meant to eat raw. Like I don't know,
Speaker 1: some people have a little bit of raw onion and salad.
Speaker 1: It's a difference between having a red onion though. I
Speaker 1: feel like you can eat a red onion raw, but
Speaker 1: not a white one. Well, red onion's more of a
Speaker 1: salad onion. It's pretty funny because Reese's dad, everyone gives
Speaker 1: him shit because he eats a lot of strange vegetable.
Speaker 1: So for lunch he'll have like a plate with turnips
Speaker 1: and radishes on it, and he will have a vinegar
Speaker 1: on it. It must be a particular craving for some people.
Speaker 1: Maybe that maybe North is missing something out in her die. Oh.
Speaker 1: I don't think that this is about her enjoying the
Speaker 1: taste at all. I think that this is purely for
Speaker 1: shock value. I think that she is trying to desperately
Speaker 1: get her parents' attention. I mean, maybe it's because Kim
Speaker 1: and Karnie are going through a divorce and sort of
Speaker 1: acting out like this and doing something strange is a
Speaker 1: way for them to focus on her because I can
Speaker 1: imagine both of them having incredibly busy careers, and you know,
Speaker 1: I mean, Kim Kardashian does get accused of being quite
Speaker 1: self centered sometime. Maybe it's a cry for help, particularly
Speaker 1: when they do have a private chef that could make
Speaker 1: her anything that she wants to eat, Like why would
Speaker 1: you choose to eat a raw onion? Well, we saw
Speaker 1: in this episode that she was desperate to make her
Speaker 1: own sushi with Kim, and Kim's like, oh, let's maybe
Speaker 1: get the private chef out to help, but she's like, no, Mom,
Speaker 1: we're doing this ourselves. It's just bizarre because for them,
Speaker 1: they clearly want to do it. Yeah, they also paid
Speaker 1: out Kendall Jenna when because North was cutting up a
Speaker 1: cucumber and she was saying that she's ambidextrous and can
Speaker 1: do it with both hands, and she's like, oh, Kim's like,
Speaker 1: maybe we should FaceTime Auntie Kendall. Well, everyone's saying that
Speaker 1: North deserves her own show, and I think that when
Speaker 1: she's older, they could definitely be onto something. Yeah, well,
Speaker 1: I remember when she was first born and Cant was
Speaker 1: very protective and he didn't want her appearing on The
Speaker 1: cut Ashian Show. So it's really come full circle where
Speaker 1: the kids are starting to play a bit of a
Speaker 1: main role. I did see Penelope was giving Scott Distick
Speaker 1: advice on his dating and saying that he shouldn't be
Speaker 1: dating teenagers and they're so sassy, like North is literally
Speaker 1: a mini Kanye. She sounds so much like him it's crazy. Well,
Speaker 1: they're only about around ten, in saying that though they
Speaker 1: have grown up in a very adult environment with cameras
Speaker 1: around them, a lot of older people and influences, so
Speaker 1: you can see why they've grown up a lot faster
Speaker 1: than other children. Yeah, definitely, I did like this episode
Speaker 1: because Kim actually opened up about the struggles that she
Speaker 1: has with parenting, and she said that North is really
Speaker 1: special and smart and creative and definitely beats to her
Speaker 1: own drum, like her personality is really really silly, and
Speaker 1: then she went on to say that Courtney always says
Speaker 1: that North is Kim's lesson on this planet, and when
Speaker 1: she was asked to elaborate on that, she said that
Speaker 1: North teaches her patience and a lot about life. And
Speaker 1: Kim was talking about North that had this massive meltdown
Speaker 1: and was refusing to get in the car and wanted
Speaker 1: all this private time with Kim and doesn't talk to
Speaker 1: her little siblings. And I was like, I'm loving this.
Speaker 1: I'm loving seeing this side of the Kardashian family that
Speaker 1: we don't normally get to look in at. You're talking
Speaker 1: about the bullshit details because it's all your egotistical, selfish
Speaker 1: mind can think about. It's being reported that Courtney Kardashian
Speaker 1: has given birth to a baby boy. It is her
Speaker 1: fourth child and first with her husband Travis Barker. Now,
Speaker 1: can you remember a couple of months ago, back in June,
Speaker 1: she announced her pregnancy in the most iconic way. She
Speaker 1: was holding up a poster at Travis Barker's Blink One
Speaker 1: Night two concert with a sign saying I'm pregnant. Yeah,
Speaker 1: And this was after a lot of IVF attempts. The
Speaker 1: couple did confirm that they actually naturally conceived this child.
Speaker 1: And it's pretty scary because only in September, Courtney shared
Speaker 1: with her followers that she had undergone am urgency fetal
Speaker 1: surgery and confirmed doctors had saved her baby's life. It
Speaker 1: feels like this is the longest pregnancy ever. It shouldn't
Speaker 1: feel that way because when they announced it, she was
Speaker 1: like four months pregnant already. Yeah, she was pretty along
Speaker 1: the way. I think it's because a lot has happened
Speaker 1: within the pregnancy. It's not just been smooth sailing, and
Speaker 1: it's pretty unprecedented. Because Travis confirmed his soon to be
Speaker 1: son's name back in July, so in an interview he
Speaker 1: said that they're going to call their son Rocky thirteen
Speaker 1: because it'd been in his head recently. So the name
Speaker 1: Rocky comes from musician Rocky George, who played guitar for
Speaker 1: Suicidal Tendencies, and Travis also took inspiration from the Rocky movies,
Speaker 1: which was my first thought when I saw the name. Wow,
Speaker 1: it does suit their vibe because obviously going for that
Speaker 1: very grungy rocker vibe. Yeah, the inclusion of thirteen is
Speaker 1: because Travis said it is the greatest number of all time.
Speaker 1: Maybe he's a bit of a swifty. Is Courtney any
Speaker 1: saying the name or is it all what Travis wants?
Speaker 1: It does seem like it's all what Travis wants. It's
Speaker 1: pretty funny though, because his daughter Alabama said that she
Speaker 1: wasn't a fan of the name at the time and
Speaker 1: she labeled it so bad. It appears though, it has
Speaker 1: been growing on her because in a recent interview she
Speaker 1: said it's a cool name. We all have very authentic,
Speaker 1: weird names. The name isn't very Courtney because her other
Speaker 1: children do have quite normal names. So she's got a
Speaker 1: son called Mason and Penelope. Her other son is called Rain,
Speaker 1: so that is a bit more unusual. But I don't
Speaker 1: know if Rocky sort of goes with the flow of
Speaker 1: these names. Yeah, but back when Mason was born, because
Speaker 1: he's thirteen now, I don't think it was a very
Speaker 1: common name. I think a lot of people have copied
Speaker 1: it from Courtney. Yeah, well, it became a very on
Speaker 1: trend name. Everyone was calling their child Mason. I wonder
Speaker 1: if we're going to see Rocky popping up as one
Speaker 1: of those names, whether there will be any impact out
Speaker 1: of Rockies. I don't think so. I don't think Courtney
Speaker 1: has as much of a pool anymore. Travis's children are
Speaker 1: called Alabama and Lamb, so I think Rocky fits more
Speaker 1: in with his vibe, and I think he's really pushing it.
Speaker 1: I'll be interested to see if they actually do announce
Speaker 1: this as the name, because Travis has been talking about
Speaker 1: it for so long. But the Kardashians are known for
Speaker 1: changing their mind at the times rate.
Speaker 2: I feel like I'm happy.
Speaker 1: I've got two kids, swell one kid to one and aware.
Speaker 1: So yeah, we're gonna got Manchester. We're going to buy
Speaker 1: the ring.
Speaker 2: I'm much a little bit nervous.
Speaker 1: Former Jeordie Shaw star Gary Beadle has announced his shock
Speaker 1: split from wife Emma McVeigh, just two years after tying
Speaker 1: the knot. The news comes as his former flame and
Speaker 1: co star Charlotte Crosby announced her engagement Sophie. I have
Speaker 1: not been across this. What has been going on? Well.
Speaker 1: Gary announced the end of his marriage in a very
Speaker 1: odd way. It was all very casual during an Instagram
Speaker 1: Q and a. So the follower asked him if the
Speaker 1: couple were still together, and this was after there was
Speaker 1: a bit of speculation because they hadn't been posting about
Speaker 1: one another for a couple of weeks. So Gary said, hey, no,
Speaker 1: we actually separate about three weeks ago. We are still friends.
Speaker 1: There is no bad blood or anything. We have worked
Speaker 1: out the best way of doing it for the kids,
Speaker 1: which for me and Emma is always going to be
Speaker 1: the most important thing. We both deserve to be happy
Speaker 1: as well as being parents. It's quite premature to announce
Speaker 1: it after a three weeks separation, particularly when you have kids.
Speaker 1: They must know for sure that there is no path
Speaker 1: of reconciliation. Yeah. I was very surprised that he announced
Speaker 1: it in this way because we have been seeing a
Speaker 1: lot of celebrities and influencers utilizing pr agencies to put
Speaker 1: out these perfectly curated pr statements when they break up,
Speaker 1: and most of the time, you know, they say, oh,
Speaker 1: we're going to be great friends, and you know, this
Speaker 1: is a great decision for the two of us. But
Speaker 1: this feels very weird because Emma hadn't said anything yet.
Speaker 1: It wasn't coming from both of them, it was just
Speaker 1: coming from Gary. Yeah. It almost seems like he's jumped
Speaker 1: the gun to try and get his point of view
Speaker 1: out there before she says anything. Yeah, And it's not
Speaker 1: as though Emma doesn't have her own platform. So when
Speaker 1: Gary and Emma met, she was a model and she
Speaker 1: has grown her following obviously through her association with him,
Speaker 1: So she has over eight hundred thousand followers, and she
Speaker 1: was allegedly left blindsided by the very casual tone of
Speaker 1: his breakup announcement. So she finally did break her silence,
Speaker 1: sharing a mirror selfie where you could visibly see she
Speaker 1: was still wearing her wedding pants. Wow, and she wrote,
Speaker 1: it's been really hard for me and the kids to
Speaker 1: be separated. There's been a lot of crying on FaceTime,
Speaker 1: which really breaks my heart. I've been numb and focusing
Speaker 1: on my children while still trying to work. I've honestly
Speaker 1: not known what to say. I'm hoping this will get
Speaker 1: easier in time. Sending so much love to anyone going
Speaker 1: through something similar, and thank you so much to everyone
Speaker 1: who has been checking in on me. That, to me
Speaker 1: makes it clear that it wasn't Emma who made this decision,
Speaker 1: and it seems like she's pretty shocked that Gary has
Speaker 1: even touched on it, because, as I said earlier, three
Speaker 1: weeks isn't very long too make an announcement like this
Speaker 1: when children are involved. Well, for those who haven't actually
Speaker 1: seen Jordie Shaw before, what are you doing with your life?
Speaker 1: You need to rectify this immediately. But for those who
Speaker 1: don't know who Gary is. He was on the show
Speaker 1: and he was touted as being this huge player. Yeah.
Speaker 1: He was known for his big parsnip as well. Yeah,
Speaker 1: and he would practically be bringing a new go home
Speaker 1: every night. And a big part of the show was
Speaker 1: his on again, off again relationship with his co star
Speaker 1: Charlotte Crosby, and she was a fan favorite. Everyone really
Speaker 1: wanted to see them sort their shit out and get
Speaker 1: together properly. Yeah, because while Gary was a player, there
Speaker 1: was a side to him that was likable. And even
Speaker 1: though he treated Charlotte like shit for so many seasons,
Speaker 1: there was a point where they got together for a
Speaker 1: little bit and it was really good. And then of
Speaker 1: course he ended up breaking her heart. She had an
Speaker 1: ep topic pregnancy with him.
Speaker 2: Ye.
Speaker 1: Yeah. The saddest bit about that story is that when
Speaker 1: Charlotte was rushed to hospital and she almost lost her life,
Speaker 1: like this was a serious thing. So Gary was off
Speaker 1: filming X on the Beach and known to Charlotte, Gary
Speaker 1: slept with his ex on the show, So she was
Speaker 1: going through the heartbreak of losing a child and then
Speaker 1: also losing her partner, and he just wasn't there for
Speaker 1: her through any of this. Yeah, Charlotte has spoken a
Speaker 1: lot about this traumatic experience on her podcast in interviews,
Speaker 1: and it's clear just how painful this whole thing was
Speaker 1: for her because it seemed like Gary wasn't really there
Speaker 1: for her at all. Yeah. Well, particularly because very shortly
Speaker 1: after Charlotte and Gary parted ways, Gary started dating Emma
Speaker 1: and everyone thought it was a bit too soon. I
Speaker 1: didn't realize this, but Gary was on Hell's Kitchen, which
Speaker 1: was being filmed in Australia, so he brought Emma out
Speaker 1: to be with him whilst he was filming for this show,
Speaker 1: and apparently she was pretty upset because he was filming
Speaker 1: for fifteen hours a day and they really didn't spend
Speaker 1: any time together. And once they returned home from Australia,
Speaker 1: Gary went straight back to filming Jordie Show and he
Speaker 1: allegedly broke up with Emma over text message wilst he
Speaker 1: was in the house. God, it seems like such a
Speaker 1: nice guy, no, And at the time, Emma slammed Gary
Speaker 1: on Twitter saying that he cheated on her, and she
Speaker 1: told the media that she was contacted by multiple people
Speaker 1: on Twitter who accused Gary of flirting with other women
Speaker 1: whilst he was filming on Jordie Show. Now, apparently she'd
Speaker 1: never watched the show before, so she hadn't seen him
Speaker 1: in action. So I don't believe that. I don't believe
Speaker 1: that you start dating someone that's famous from a TV
Speaker 1: show and you don't do a sneaky little look into
Speaker 1: what they've been acting like on the show. Yeah, it
Speaker 1: was quite embarrassing because they ended up getting back together
Speaker 1: and she spoke to the media about it and she
Speaker 1: said that she blamed her hormones as she had discovered
Speaker 1: that she was pregnant whilst Gary was filming on the show.
Speaker 1: So they did reconcile shortly after filming wrapped in August
Speaker 1: twenty seventeen, and then announced the baby news publicly. Well
Speaker 1: that's just awkward because it seems like they only got
Speaker 1: back together for this baby. Yeah. Well, a lot of
Speaker 1: Jordi Shaw fans weren't happy about the news. They were
Speaker 1: quite shocked because they did appear on a lot of
Speaker 1: front pages, all these pregnancy spreads. But in saying that
Speaker 1: becoming a dad for Gary, he really did turn his
Speaker 1: life around because he stopped partying and he really seemed
Speaker 1: to mature and even watching his social media of recent years,
Speaker 1: he comes across as a really devoted dad. Yeah, well
Speaker 1: he might have something to do with him turning thirty
Speaker 1: and actually growing. Well, he's thirty five now. Yeah, it's
Speaker 1: crazy to think that his son Chester is now six
Speaker 1: and his daughter Primrose is four. I actually really like
Speaker 1: those names. Yeah, they are cute names. Now. I only
Speaker 1: want to bring this up because I think it's quite
Speaker 1: interesting now that they've separated, because they did get engaged
Speaker 1: in twenty nineteen and they tied the knot in twenty
Speaker 1: twenty one, but they did postpone their wedding. Now, they
Speaker 1: claimed it was because their daughter was hospitalized and there
Speaker 1: was a lot of stress around that. But I wonder
Speaker 1: if Gary got cold feet. Yeah, that's definitely not a
Speaker 1: good sign at the time. Gary said, the last three
Speaker 1: or four months, it's been so hard to even think
Speaker 1: about the wedding. I think it's important to have kids
Speaker 1: before you get married, because getting married is easy. It's
Speaker 1: just a label. Now, they haven't been any cheating rumors
Speaker 1: as of yet. I'm waiting for those. Yeah, I'm definitely
Speaker 1: waiting for them. I do wonder if it has something
Speaker 1: to do with the fact that the couple has had
Speaker 1: an incredibly stressful year, so Emma has been navigating some
Speaker 1: really serious health conditions. So right before the couple's wedding,
Speaker 1: Emma found out that she had three holes in her
Speaker 1: heart and doctors told her that she couldn't have any
Speaker 1: more children unless she had the surgery. And then following
Speaker 1: the surgery, she suffered a collapsed lung, and then months
Speaker 1: later she was also diagnosed with inflammatory bow disease. So
Speaker 1: there's been a lot of serious things going on in
Speaker 1: this family's life, and I can't help but feel really
Speaker 1: sorry for her now going through a divorce having two
Speaker 1: young kids. That's just dreadful. There is speculation that Gary
Speaker 1: and Emma are preparing to sell their mansion at the moment.
Speaker 1: So they have this incredible three story mansion which they've
Speaker 1: been renovating for a number of years now in Leeds,
Speaker 1: and they both want to move out so that they
Speaker 1: can have fresh starts now. Sources told UK tabloids that
Speaker 1: the house is going on the market even though they've
Speaker 1: spent years perfecting it and you know, building everything customs
Speaker 1: so it's suited to what they wanted. You do hear
Speaker 1: that a lot these couples spending so much time and
Speaker 1: money to make the house exactly what they want, and
Speaker 1: then they end up breaking up or even recently with
Speaker 1: Leah asenas she built her dream house in Adelaide and
Speaker 1: they get the bug for it and want to go
Speaker 1: do it again. Yeah, it's quite interesting because in a
Speaker 1: now deleted Instagram story, Gary said that he is on
Speaker 1: the hunt for somewhere within an hour's drive of Leeds,
Speaker 1: but he admitted that his home city of Newcastle was
Speaker 1: too far for him to travel back and forwards to
Speaker 1: see his children. I just found it interesting that it
Speaker 1: was deleted because, as you said, Kate, they've only been
Speaker 1: separated for three weeks, and then you know, adding in
Speaker 1: actually having to take the next step and lock in
Speaker 1: a house, it all seems very permanent. Yeah, it makes
Speaker 1: me think this has been brewing for quite a long
Speaker 1: time and they've made the official move to actually move
Speaker 1: away from each other. It's really awkward timing because Charlotte
Speaker 1: Crosby has just announced her engagement to her boyfriend and
Speaker 1: baby daddy Jake. Look, I don't think it's awkward. They
Speaker 1: haven't been an item for years and years. There's no
Speaker 1: way Charlotte would consider getting back with him now that
Speaker 1: he is single. Either. That's not why I'm saying it's awkward.
Speaker 1: I just think it's awkward timing that they're both coming
Speaker 1: out with these huge life announcements. And for Charlotte, she
Speaker 1: probably feels somewhat vindicated in that she's been watching Gary
Speaker 1: have this seemingly perfect life. He's building this mansion with
Speaker 1: his model girlfriend, and they've got these cute kids together,
Speaker 1: and he turned his life all around for her. But
Speaker 1: clearly there's been other things brewing in the background, and
Speaker 1: Charlotte did speak about how watching Gary go on and
Speaker 1: have kids with someone else was really tough for her.
Speaker 1: So I guess I'm just happy that she's been able
Speaker 1: to move on and create her own family with someone
Speaker 1: else who seems to actually really value her.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: See, when I saw this announcement, I was really happy
Speaker 1: for Charlotte, but I thought they were already engaged. Now
Speaker 1: they've only been together for two years. They did meet though,
Speaker 1: in twenty fifteen through mutual friends. The engagement was very cute.
Speaker 1: He had set up these red roses that were in
Speaker 1: a heart shape, and Charlotte wrote on her Instagram that
Speaker 1: she's the happiest woman in the world and said yes, yes, yes,
Speaker 1: you are my best friend and you are my life.
Speaker 1: I was surprised to learn that their daughter is already
Speaker 1: one year's old. Time is absolutely flying. The ring is
Speaker 1: very unique. It has five diamonds that make her Marquez shape.
Speaker 1: It was nice to see a ring that's not just
Speaker 1: your typical oval shaped diamond out there. I am very
Speaker 1: intrigued to see if more details about this divorce emerge.
Speaker 1: Surely someone's going to start speaking to the media. Well,
Speaker 1: we're gonna leave things there, but we do have an
Speaker 1: exciting subs episode ready to go on Wednesday.
Speaker 2: Yeah.
Speaker 1: It's called Spill Your Guts or Fill Your Guts, So
Speaker 1: we're gonna be answering some juicy questions that listeners have
Speaker 1: sent in and having a look at them. I'm already
Speaker 1: feeling a bit nervous about how this is going to
Speaker 1: go down. Yeah, we did set up at NGL think
Speaker 1: it seemed like a bit of a throwback, but I
Speaker 1: thought some people might like to be anonymous. This podcast
Speaker 1: was recorded on the traditional land of the Ghana people
Speaker 1: of the Adelaide Plains. We pay respect to elders past
Speaker 1: and present,
