## Resource

“I can eat what I want, watch what I want… some sort of Housewives of somewhere…” Leigh Francis, Emma Bunton, Jade Jones and Jill Francis are back from holiday on Unlikely Friends, showing off their glorious tans and catching up on sun, food, films and questionable wellness advice. This week, the friends compare holiday tans, although if you are listening rather than watching, you will just have to trust that everyone is looking bronzed. Jill shares how badly she ate while she was away, Leigh explains why he was the only one not eating properly, and the conversation takes a very Unlikely Friends turn when Jill brings some highly questionable information about sunning your perineum. Also in this episode: films the gang have seen, the films they are excited about, why Toy Story 5 is already on the watchlist, and how you might be able to get a certificate from Leigh.q Then Pauline the Pineapple throws up the question: what do you wish you had known when you were 19? It leads to a surprisingly honest chat about youth, confidence, advice, and whether anyone at 19 is actually willing to listen anyway. Unlikely Friends is a Global production, available every Monday and Thursday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your shows. Make sure you subscribe so you never miss an episode.
