## Resource

Carmen has massive news!!! Paris delivered much more than poulet-and-frites, sweaty sightseeing and one very emotional hench Frenchman. Him in doors finally got down on one knee and popped the big question! Laura and Carmen unpack wedding fever in all its chaotic glory: from Dua Lipa’s Palermo backlash and wildly OTT proposal setups to choreographed first dances and iconic celeb wedding moments. And of course, the girls investigate Carmen's conspiracy theory that Taylor Swift’s new Toy Story 5 song 'I Knew It, I Knew You' was a cover-up for something much bigger... Plus, World Cup widow panic, England footballers serving looks, Kim Kardashian causing chaos at the F1, white men losing their minds to Mr Brightside, and a fully unhinged ABBA Voyage review. Voulez-Vous indeed.
