Tales from the Celebrity Trenches episodes

  • Insane fandoms & Etsy witches...

    Jamie East and Alice Brine are back in the trenches to double down on their Harry Styles take (no he’s not booking his own flights on an iPhone) and find out why Hailey Bieber’s “not interested in overconsumption” claim sent the internet into meltdown.


    Alice reveals her exclusive Trenches encounter with a Big Brother witch, which leads to a deep dive into Etsy witches (£1.50 to curse your ex) and Netflix’s Ai-voiced Willy Wonka game show gets a thorough roasting.


    Jamie also has strong feelings on 'The Diplomat' and the Oasis documentary, the pair discuss Selma Blair’s legal troubles and share their worst celebrity run-ins!


    It’s another week of celebrity madness and questionable fashion choices.

  • Harry Styles, check your privilege!

    Jamie East and Alice Brine are back in the trenches to unpack why touring can cost artists a fortune, whether Harry's tech-free lifestyle is actually just a massive privilege flex and why Margaret Qualley's bizarre heels have sent the internet into meltdown!


    Alice has some VERY strong Real Housewives opinions and we revisit the glorious chaos of Celebrity Traitors where Miranda Hart and James Blunt are serving unexpected beef.


    It's another week of celebrity madness, questionable fashion choices and ridiculous takes.

  • Graeme Hall is in the Trenches

    From dog whisperer to ballroom dancer… Graeme Hall is entering the Celebrity Trenches.


    The UK’s most famous dog trainer joins Jamie East ahead of his Strictly Come Dancing debut to reveal what it’s actually like behind the sequins. From not knowing who his dance partner is to the brutal reality of rehearsals and his rather chaotic history with Strictly Northampton.


    But there’s much more to Graeme than teaching dogs to sit.


    He tells Jamie how he went from spending 21 years working at Weetabix to accidentally becoming a professional dog trainer, why he reckons the humans are usually the real problem and the surprisingly emotional reason Britain is so obsessed with dogs!


    Graeme opens up about the life-changing health issue that put his dancing dreams on hold and how an old dance bag in his loft ended up coming back into his life just in time for Strictly.

    We ask the all-important question, just how much money is there to be made from a hit TV format?


    Jamie reveals the surprising story behind one of the biggest ideas in television while Alice has a few thoughts of her own about which shows could make their creators seriously rich.


    The pair discuss why Joanna McNally is terrifying Jamie, the return of Top Gear and the mysterious financial empire of Miss Rachel.

  • Tony Parsons is in the Trenches

    Best-selling author and legendary journalist Tony Parsons has spent 50 years in the trenches of celebrity, journalism and pop culture…and he’s got the stories to prove it.


    He joins Jamie to go right back to the beginning from answering an advert looking for “young gunslingers” at the NME to interviewing the Sex Pistols, Bowie, Fleetwood Mac and countless other icons during the most chaotic years of rock ’n’ roll.


    Tony tells us about his friendship with George Michael including the surprisingly generous deal the star insisted on giving him and reflects on what made George such a special person.


    He also talks about the phenomenal success of ‘Man & Boy’, the highs and lows of a career that has seen him become a multimillion-selling author and why even huge success doesn’t always mean you’re set for life.


    Tony lets us into what his new novel ‘Man & Dog’ has in store for us and why a dog could just change your life for the better.

  • Is Sydney Sweeney Ragebaiting us?!

    Jamie and Alice are delighted that Jennifer Lawrence has finally joined Instagram. After years of avoiding social media J-Law has entered the chat, immediately racking up millions of followers and warning everyone that if they’re mean to her, she’s off. Naturally we have thoughts, and a few Instagram accounts we think she absolutely needs to follow!


    Big Brother is BACK and Jamie has watched the launch so you don't have to. We meet this year's housemates, discuss the rise of the YouTube “lock-in” and ask whether this series is going to give people the classic chaotic Big Brother they actually want?


    Sydney Sweeney stars in a new ad, and yes, it’s controversial. Are we all falling for the rage bait trick again? Or should this approach to advertising have died out in the 80s?! Alice and Jamie get into it ALL, plus the world of celebrity outrage marketing and why Sydney might have played the internet like a fiddle…


    It's another week in the celebrity trenches…strap in!
