Pro-wrestler and comedian Jerry Bakewell joins Alex and Siobhan in this episode. As a lifelong wrestling fan, Alex is delighted. 
 
Jerry talks about how he got into wrestling almost 20 years ago, his time training, his first match, why he started wearing a mask, and the clips online that he really wishes weren't available. 
 
He also discusses his infamous Britain's Got Talent audition, what went on behind the scenes, and the hilarious stuff that was cut.
