This week, Leigh has plenty to say as he looks back on some of the run-ins he had while making his biggest TV shows. But the conversation soon lands on the biggest celebrity he may have ever really annoyed: Emma Bunton. The friends revisit an argument that once got so heated they ended up sitting in separate rooms not talking, all sparked by a debate about Emma and Jade not being married at the time. Thankfully, they have all moved on. Probably. The gang talk about friendship, arguing, debating properly, and why it should be possible to disagree with your mates without falling out. Ruby’s second question is just as good: which celebrity would you most like to interview? Jade throws in a curveball with Emily Blunt, Jill picks Emma Stone and Cam from Modern Family, and Emma looks back on interviewing some true icons, including Taylor Swift and Mariah Carey. 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.
