Ellie and Kola reminisce about lols behind the scenes on their mega hit Ted Lasso and Ellie’s jaw drops when Kola reveals the level of bling in the Screen Actors Guild winners’ gifting suite.

Yep, Kola had a bit of a shock going directly from Hollywood to roughing it all the way down South America on Celebrity Race Across the World. “I thought they’d pop us in a five star hotel” - wrong! And of course Ellie had to ask about that stomach-lurching moment Kola left his passport on a bus in Uruguay, because oh, my god.

Kola shares his secret winning numbers and sensible plans for a solid gold bathroom if he’s next to win the Lotto jackpot. As Isaac McAdoo would say, it’s peak.

Ellie’s first guest Helen Skelton is not only a TV star, she’s the holder of multiple Guinness World Records (somehow it seemed like a good idea to go to the South Pole on a bicycle) and her story about losing a BAFTA is *almost* better than the time she won.

Just don’t ask anything rude about sheep and sign language. What??? Listen and all shall be revealed, as well Helen’s Strictly regret, her Lotto winning dreams, that time she ate the fish that jumped in her lap, and her discovery that she’s not the most gracious of winners. Wholesome: yes. Gracious: bahahaha no. There’s a reason Ellie calls her pal Skelts a, ‘good mum, terrible person’.
