In this special bonus edition of Soap From The Box, Lee meets the person that inspired him to create this podcast in the first place - Sophie Ellis-Bextor.

Sophie’s own podcast, Spinning Plates, was the spark that drove Lee to get together with all his TV star friends to talk all things soap, love and life. 

In this conversation, Sophie chats about having a mum on Blue Peter, Sundays spent watching the Eastenders Omnibus, her musical influences, having a sneak appearance on Game of Thrones (!!), Strictly Come Dancing AND… the phenomenon that is Kitchen Disco.
