Leave Ariana Grande Alone

Goalhanger
About this episode

Many of the reports around Wicked haven’t focused on the quality of the film, but once again on the appearance of one of its stars, Ariana Grande. Is the reporting on female appearance becoming more toxic than ever before?


Will a TikTok Grandma win the battle for Christmas number 1? Richard takes us through the historical runners and riders.


Our friends at More In Common carried out some polling based upon some previous show topics as promised. Does the UK think Jeremy Clarkson could be PM? What is Britain’s most loved Christmas song? And, most importantly which is the nation’s favourite Quality Street… Richard and Marina disagree.
