Gemma’s not been feeling well, but even a chest infection can’t stop the festive fever spreading at The GC Palace. She’s been out on the town with Rami, and narrowly avoided an ostrich feather emergency! You’re not seeing/hearing double this week, but Gemma’s guest could well be her long-lost twin sister – it’s Kitty Scott-Claus from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. They share so much in common that Gemma hatches a plan to send Kitty out on jobs she doesn’t want to do!

Has Gemma met her match in Kitty Scott-Claus?

With Christmas coming, The GC is very excited about all things festive! And to help her get to the bottom of whether elves and fairies are really real, she turns to her pal Keith Lemon – who investigated them for one of his TV shows and even visited a Fairy School. Our curious pair also discuss Bigfoot and time travel. Should they now set up their own X Files-style agency to investigate strange phenomena? Meanwhile, how many reindeers is too many reindeers? Gemma gives a behind-the-scenes peek into the mammoth three-day operation to get Christmas decorations ready at The GC Palace. Plus, our beloved diva gives us an exclusive walk-through of her glitzy wardrobe for an upcoming wedding, and listener Sandy has an Ask Me Anything question linked to one of Gemma’s favourite things ever. If you’d like to put an Ask Me Anything question to Gemma, just email your voice note or message to thegc@bbc.co.uk for a chance to be on the podcast.

Keith Lemon answers Gemma’s questions about fairies

Gemma is in a charitable mood this week as she offers a behind-the-scenes peek at her sequinned appearance at Sophie Ellis Bextor’s 24-hour Kitchen Disco for BBC Children in Need. Plus, Christmas has also come early for one listener who is recovering from beating cancer – thanks to Gemma’s surprise act of kindness.  The charity continues, as animal lover Gemma chats to BBC wildlife presenter Megan McCubbin – and invites her guest and her stepdad Chris Packham to stay at The GC Palace, now that things are quieter after Jedward left to go to LA.  Gemma asks Megan for tips on making her dream of setting up an animal sanctuary come true – and we hear how our beloved diva thought she was going to die, after being bitten by an eight-legged creature this week. In Ask Me Anything, listener Jared gets a GC birthday treat for his best friend. Would you like to ask Gemma a question?

Gemma surprises a fan with an amazing gift!

Gemma’s recovering from three days of partying but is already planning the next event – and challenges top party-planner-to-the-stars, Julie Perry, to create the ultimate GC Christmas celebration.  Meanwhile, as it’s nearing the end of 2021, what will be her personal and professional highlights of the year? And what are her dreams for the next 12 months? Clue: they include babies and Hollywood. And, as a special festive treat, there’s not one but two Ask Me Anything questions for Gemma this week – including one from one of The GC’s cheeky celeb pals.

The ultimate GC Christmas celebration

As Jedward get ready to finally leave The GC palace, Gemma is starting to feel sad and reminisces about the latest antics the trio have been up to – including a mishap at the fireworks display and leading a conga dance through a hotel, and reveals the chores she’s enlisted them to do around her house. Also hear the twins do their own impression of Gemma’s Essex accent. It’s National Anti-Bullying Week so Gemma’s talking with kindness expert and best-selling author and speaker, Dr David Hamilton, whose fans include Lady Gaga. Gemma has her mind blown when she learns how kindness is a super power – and discovers how science even proves it can make you look younger! Plus, she finds out why her favourite colour of pink is a ‘kind’ colour, and invites you to take part in her Seven Day Kindness Challenge. In Ask Me Anything, Gemma is genuinely touched by a kind message from listener Rebecca – which moves our beloved diva to do an unexpected act of kindness in return.
