This week, the friends discuss Leigh’s radio voice, whether he could ever truly crack the airwaves, and why his self-deprecating style might be getting in the way. There’s also a trip back to 90s Saturday morning and kids’ TV, with Zoe Ball, Denise Van Outen, Jenny Powell, Cat Deeley and Blue Peter all mentioned. Also in this episode: Emma Bunton’s radio voice, what it would feel like to lose your voice, last week’s marathon, Emma’s lovely story about her nephew, and Pauline the Pineapple causing chaos with the question: who from Unlikely Friends would you take on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Plus, the friends answer a more sensitive question — when was your last cry? — leading to a surprisingly vulnerable moment from Leigh. 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.
