70 | Taylor Swift x Charli XCX Drama, Lola Young’s On-Stage Fall & The Viral Beauty Product To Know

In this special Group Chat Christmas episode, Daisy, India and Poppy look back on the most iconic (and questionable) moments of 2025. From viral memes and fashion collabs to celebrity drama and red carpet slays, no trend or controversy is off the table. JoJo Siwa x Chris Hughes, Timothée Chalamet’s Lime bike moment, Kendrick’s Super Bowl shade and the rise (and fall) of the lace asymmetric top… The three chat through their pop culture hot takes, best-of-the-year product faves, stocking filler gift ideas that don’t suck and have some heated debates (are skinny jeans actually back?! 👖👀). Plus, the group reveal their highlights of the year – from meeting Hailey Bieber to hanging with Aaron Taylor-Johnson in Venice – and look ahead to what needs to stay (and go) in 2026… Follow us on:Instagram | https://bit.ly/3X0xm27TikTok | http://bit.ly/3jvwlBEPodcast | https://open.spotify.com/show/60SxAVVuD3LrgLdlKuy3uH PANELDaisy Reed | @daisreed |  https://www.instagram.com/daisreed/ India | @indiaagy | https://www.instagram.com/indiaagy/ Poppy Edmonds | @poppyedmondss | https://www.instagram.com/poppyedmondss/ HOT LISTZara Grey Trousers | https://tidd.ly/3KZDVCj Deichmann Loafers | https://www.deichmann.com/en-gb/p/graceland-loafer-brown-97055/490002 Weekday T-shirt | https://www.asos.com/weekday/weekday-slim-fit-t-shirt-in-charcoal/prd/209919074 Adidas Taekwondo Trainers |  https://www.adidas.co.uk/taekwondo-shoes/JS4023.html Zara Jumper | https://tidd.ly/4pUOjtZ Zara Houndstooth Bomber | https://tidd.ly/4aU2J9i Bared Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/mwejpsjb  Peachy Den x Amelia Dimoldenberg | https://tinyurl.com/bdzazycm NikeSKIMS | https://skims.com/en-gb/collections/nikeskims The North Face x SKIMS | https://skims.com/en-gb/collections/the-north-face-x-skims Sacai x Carhartt WIP | https://tinyurl.com/bdffwc5r Glenn Martens x H&M | https://tinyurl.com/2ftd5rra Gap x Summer Fridays | https://www.gap.co.uk/promotions/gap-x-summer-fridaysK18 Molecular Repair Mask | https://tidd.ly/49pHN7Z Makeup by Mario F4 Brush | https://www.sephora.co.uk/p/makeup-by-mario-brush Summer Fridays Lip Butter Balm | https://tidd.ly/4aYuBJo Severance | https://tinyurl.com/39d6yu3z The Summer I Turned Pretty | https://tinyurl.com/mr324zbf HOT LINESol de Janeiro Bum Bum Cream | https://tidd.ly/3MK0rj4 Batiste Brilliant Blonde Dry Shampoo | https://tidd.ly/3MIZPKx Nails Inc Manicure Set | https://nailsinc.com/products/manicure-me-4-piece-nail-polish-set Humantra Electrolytes | https://humantra.co.uk/ Sult Electrolytes | https://www.drinksult.com/ Maybelline Sky High Mascara | https://tidd.ly/3vNjnVT Refy Duo Brush | https://tidd.ly/3L031B0 CurrentBody LED Red Light Therapy Face Mask | https://tinyurl.com/3v7dke9y Shark CryoGlow Red Light Mask | https://tinyurl.com/4uvpcddp Beauty Pie C-Wave Light Facial Mask | https://www.beautypie.com/products/led-light-facial-maskThomas Lélu Book | https://tinyurl.com/4tpf75ys Refy Lip Gloss | https://tidd.ly/49jjPMu Bijoux de Mimi | https://bijouxdemimi.com/ Hosted on Acast.

This week, we’re easing into full festive mode as Saroop is joined by Lola and India for a cosy, chaotic catch‑up. They start with the big stories of the week – from Angry Ginge winning ‘I’m A Celeb’ and what made him such an unexpected fan favourite, to Australia’s controversial decision to ban social media for under‑16s (and whether it’s actually giving kids their childhoods back). Elsewhere, Netflix's potential acquisition of Warner Bros – the group discusses what that could mean for the future of film. Finally, they wrap up with Things We’re Loving, including how Charlotte Simone is taking over London, the underrated jewellery brands they’re loving, niche accessories on their radars, cosy investment pieces, *the* Abercrombie Christmas PJs to know and the small luxuries making December feel a little more special…Follow us on:Instagram | https://bit.ly/3X0xm27TikTok | http://bit.ly/3jvwlBEPodcast | https://open.spotify.com/show/60SxAVVuD3LrgLdlKuy3uH AD | Rabanne | https://www.rabanne.com/uk/en_GB/fragrance/p/fame--000000000065170087 Saroop Sangha | @saroop.k.s | https://www.instagram.com/saroop.k.s/?hl=en Adidas Originals Velour Track Top | https://tinyurl.com/3nt5xa4t Topshop Ember Low Rise Straight Leg Jeans | https://tinyurl.com/pmzk99e3 Dune Faux Fur Lined Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/uz8sxb2d Lola Lawlor | @lolalawlor | https://www.instagram.com/lolalawlor/?hl=en-gb M&S Burgundy Tights | https://tidd.ly/44ptKgZ Dr Martens Adrian Arcadia Leather Tassel Loafers | https://tinyurl.com/ekbvwcpa India | @indiaagy | https://www.instagram.com/indiaagy/?hl=en Topshop Everyday Tee | https://tinyurl.com/3k94hd7m Minka Dink Checked Trousers | https://minkadinklondon.com/products/checked-trousers Reserved Leather Cowboy Boots | https://www.reserved.com/gb/en/leather-cowboy-boots-177ff-99x HOT LISTGolden Globes Nominations | https://goldenglobes.com/nominations/2026 Abercrombie & Fitch Pyjamas | https://tinyurl.com/2nxmvbv4 Abercrombie & Fitch Sleep Jogger | https://www.abercrombie.com/shop/wd/p/sleep-jogger-61543819 Abercrombie Stella Artois Snapback Hat | https://tinyurl.com/26b2mf4p THINGS WE’RE LOVINGThomas Sabo Ring | https://www.thomassabo.com/GB/en_GB/pd/ring/TR2486-001-21-VG.html Thomas Sabo Charm Bracelet | https://tinyurl.com/48d3p8dt Thomas Sabo Goldbears Charm | https://tinyurl.com/58uxmx6p Goodhood Shoreditch | https://goodhoodstore.com/ b.Eautiful Tartan Hat | https://b-eautiful.com/products/b-e-hat-blue-plaid-white Hosted on Acast.
