There’s also chat about her brand new single and her upcoming UK tour this December, plus how the entire Kemp family coordinates dog care like a military operation.

And before all that: Mildred’s lump scare, Dolly’s post-tooth happiness, Juniper's sleep arrangements, and Seann’s “Jack-style” firework joke written by ChatGPT.
