Holly Willoughby: Life After Daytime TV, Martinis & Tequila

This week on Bottoms Up!, Alan and Lee are joined by TV icon Holly Willoughby for a glass of wine, a gossip and plenty of laughs. Holly opens up about life after daytime TV, her exciting new project Together, and why she wants everyone to feel like they’ve got a seat at the table. She also reveals what happened when she swapped early mornings for a slower pace of life - and whether a slot on Strictly could ever be on the cards. Along the way, the trio sip - and sample - tequila, Holly mixes the perfect vodka martini she was taught to make by the one and only Stanley Tucci, and Alan, Lee and Holly go head-to-head in a game... Elsewhere, Alan reveals how he accidentally went viral at a gay day rave after "just popping in after work”, and Holly admits just how lazy she became after stepping away from daytime TV.

Harry Styles' Short Shorts, Lee’s Moved Out & Wines From Around The World

This week on Bottoms Up! Alan and Lee are back at The Gore Hotel, sipping their signature cocktail from the iconic Bar 190, where The Rolling Stones famously hosted some of their wildest parties. With a heatwave in full swing, the boys are heading to see short-shorts superstar Harry Styles. But just how short is too short? Long, short or downright slutty? After weeks of living under the same roof, Lee has finally moved out of Alan's house. Faced with an empty flat containing little more than a bed, can Alan help Lee figure out his interior design style? Plus, wine writer Sunny Hodge (@sunnyhodgewine) joins the boys to chat about his book, The Cynic's Guide to Wine. He explains why wine doesn’t actually taste like grapes and introduces Alan and Lee to bottles from China, the Czech Republic and Georgia, proving there’s a whole world of wine beyond the supermarket shelf.
