'Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?'

Kelly and Louise debate the viral Vogue article ‘Is having a boyfriend embarrassing now?’ by Chante Joseph. We know, you can’t bloody win! The controversial article divided the internet looking at the apparent recent shift to avoid mentioning your boyfriend online and Kelly and Louise have notes. They react to the article getting into why people may advertise boyfriends less, their own response to people publicising relationships or not (even when married), and whether it really is ‘embarrassing’. There’s strong opinions. They also talk about more women choosing to be independent now, the question, “why are you single?” (the gift that keeps on giving around Christmas time) and Louise letting females down with her inability to light a fire and swing an axe.

Big mistakes in love, Lily Allen and your unbelievable questions

In this episode, we share some bad mistakes, heartache and the hard lessons we learnt. “If it has to happen, baby do you want to know?” is the question Lily Allen has to contend with in her new album ‘West End Girl’ so of course we had to discuss the album's impact and moments of relatability.
