There was a proper “is my phone listening to me?” moment on this week’s Dig It. Jo explained she’d spent hours searching for an old photo of Sam Smith kissing her on the head ahead of interviewing him, with no luck. The next morning, ahead of the interview, she picked up her phone and there it was, suddenly set as her main wallpaper. “I was like, what the fuck?” she admitted, leaving Zoe similarly rattled about digital privacy.
Elsewhere, Jo got candid about guilt she’d felt after previously mentioning on the podcast how upset she was about daughter Coco leaving for college. She wanted to clarify that, more than anything, she wants Coco to “fly free” and have the time of her life, saying she’d been careful with what she shares on air since.
Zoe also shared warm memories from a Live & Kicking 30th anniversary reunion she organised herself, including chaos-filled throwbacks to rutting rabbits live on set and running into Liam Gallagher at the Halcyon Hotel back in the day.
On the TV front, both hosts praised Sharon Horgan’s new HBO drama Youth, discussed the overblown criticism culture around Strictly and Bake Off, and marvelled at the stacked Celebrity Traitors cast, including James Acaster, Jerry Hall and Ross Kemp. They also touched on Andy Burnham’s recent comments calling for menopause to be taken more seriously in medical training.
The episode wrapped with seasonal gardening tips from RHS expert Lee Hunt on why autumn is now prime planting time, plus film recommendations for Bad Apples and Verity.
