Summary
Love might not cost a thing, but this one came with a lot of receipts. When Jennifer Lopez (back once again!) fell for Sean Combs in 1999, it felt like pop had engineered its own super-couple. She was shimmering on the brink of full-blown world domination; he was the Svengali of west coast rap. Tracksuits, champagne, Versace dresses and so much white clothing. Then came the nightclub shooting, the arrest and the cheating. This week, Chantal and Gráinne are joined by stand-up comedian Esther Manito to unpick J.Lo's first tabloid romance and ask why couldn't these two lovebirds make it work?
