This week, Emma looks back on life on tour with the Spice Girls, including the specialist tattoo and piercing artist who travelled with them, and the eyebrow piercing that gave Jade his money’s worth, even if the story ended in a slightly less glamorous way. Then, big pineapple points go to Paloma Faith, who recorded her question just one day before she was due to give birth. Leigh shares how long he has known Paloma, from before she was famous, before Paloma asks the gang who they would body swap with and what they would do first. Emma has a very honest answer involving urinating standing up, Jade and Leigh are predictably immature, and Jill thinks she’d quite enjoy the freedom of the male form.
