Angela and Vicky are having a full-blown existential crisis after realising Amy Winehouse’s Back to Black is TWENTY YEARS OLD. They dive headfirst into the noughties nostalgia...

Vicky and Angela are dissecting the reaction to J-Law's new haircare line - and if there's one thing they love, it's a woman out to get the bag (or, the handbag if you're Big Red, IYKYK).

Angela and Vicky are OBSESSED with Nigella Lawson’s unapologetic love of food, and frankly, we should all be taking notes.

Plus, the Victoria’s Secret runway is back, and the ladies have thoughts! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
