Gravia said: “I think it’s just going to be so much fun, and I know we will have a laugh together. It will also be nice to see Christine showing listeners a new side of her.”
McGuinness added: “For me it will help me be a bit freer. I have always kept my private life quite private, and I feel like it’s the right time for me to be a bit more open. And to have a giggle with Sophie and not feel judged in any way – she is so free and is kind of like my spirit animal.”
Gravia also promised that the podcast won’t be pulling any punches in terms of honesty: “Nothing is off limits – that is the basis of the podcast,” she said. “A lot of it will involve us chatting about different kinds of situationships and giving advice to listeners on their issues. From dating dilemmas to relationship disasters to flatmate problems.”
