04:29called Turakov
04:31But what she didn't tell me is there's no summer
04:35Actually
04:37There you know, it's it's starting to get quite diabolically hot. There are some summers. When were you there last every bloody summer?
04:46Like, you know 35 degree summers, which are like kind of terrifying
04:53I
04:57Love it and I have to say I love Swedes Swedes have always been lovely to me
05:03What do you love about Swedes I'm intrigued to know that's not me saying I don't I mean I'm Swedish
05:08So but I'd like to know it just seemed gentle
05:10Yeah, you get a Swedish paparazzi comes up and says can I take a picture and you say it?
05:14No, if you don't mind, all right. Bye
05:17I
05:20Mean while Sebastian's and you grew up
05:22Speaking Romanian, correct? Yeah till what age or when did you I was I was there until I was 8 and then
05:29My I moved to Vienna for four years. My mom was a pianist and then
05:34Then I moved to the US when I was 12, but now you still use your Romanian
05:38Yes, I do and I know we have something in common. But yeah, I do it
05:46Definitely don't use my Romanian
05:49Clearly from what I've heard
05:52But we'll get to that. I mean someone's cleaning your house. So yeah
05:57Yeah with my mom, of course, I talked to her all the time
06:00Yeah, and and you use it in winter as winter soldier as well
06:02I did they had me do it once in Civil War and I did it on this other film three five five
06:08Yeah, okay. Now what you're referring to with Greg is so you're keen as remain the lady who comes and cleans up my hovel once
06:16Is a Romanian lady and she will I imagine it'll blow her mind. I'm talking about a hello Gigi
06:24I've had a long long 10-year relationship with her, but she only speaks Romanian and I only speak English
06:29So you'd be very handy
06:33We have a strange friendship, but she does she does make executive decisions in my home
06:40I've grown to love it really like
06:42Like I bought a brand new paella pan to impress my friends and
06:46Then I they were coming around and I thought I'll make paella. It's really expensive and
06:52it had gone from the big draw and
06:55I've Chi Chi came in and I went if you you haven't seen my I bought this big paella pan and she just pointed at
07:01The bin and she went
07:03I
07:10Love her so much. I went, okay
07:13Every now and again she surprises me because I don't think she can speak any English
07:17But she was lifting a big rain barrel because I had a leak at my flat
07:20There was a huge rain barrel and she started to lift it and I thought I'll go and help her
07:24She's tiny and I went over and I went to help her and her hands grabbed mine like this and stopped me
07:30And she looked up and she went she's strong
07:34Years of communist suffering
07:39Next time you see her you should say mugging this Latino to tempo. Oh, yeah, so
07:45She'll be happy with that. What does it mean? No, it just means I'm thinking about you all the time
07:56We're gonna pack on with you grounds latest film heretic it opens on the 1st of November and before we talk about it
08:03Here's a taste of what to expect
08:10Are you interested in learning more about the Church of Jesus Christ come on it
08:13We can't come inside unless another woman is present. My wife is home. Does that come great? You like pie?
08:18Yeah, my wife has pie in the oven. I could tell that you are a very
08:24Spiritually curious person. I think it is good to be religious to find your faith in a doctrine. You actually believe
08:33I will go and check on the pie
08:55Properly scary is a properly scary film you play mr. Reid. So tell us about mr. Reid as much as you can well
09:03These two girls are Mormons in the middle of America somewhere and they have to go around trying to you know
09:10explain Mormonism to people and
09:12One day their last visit is to a house
09:15where the door is answered by me and I seem rather nice and
09:20welcoming and
09:21interested in religion and
09:23They say, you know
09:24We can only come in if there's a woman here and I saw my wife's here making a pie
09:27In they come and I talked to him. It's very nice and then gradually bit by bit
09:32Like with the candle they realize that things are not as they seem
09:36No, yeah, and so mr. Reid he is a sort of an academic of theology
09:44Yeah, he's a kind of trendy academic. Well, I had him down as that
09:49Okay, I don't know what the directors meant him to be but I decided he was
09:53Cool prof, you know the guy who likes to make a joke and be down with the kids
09:58And I cuz I thought that everything that's creepy will be
10:02Doubly or trebly creepy if he's making jokes at the same time. Yeah, and
10:07Yeah, I well, you don't want to know all this but I
10:12Thought he was probably rather a lonely man
10:17What's so marvelous about me as an actress I go very deep
10:23I
10:25decided you can't just be a
10:27Moustache twirling baddie. No, there's got to be a jelly
10:31Somewhere inside, you know, what happened to you to make you that way?
10:35And so I had him down as lonely as one of those people who?
10:38People just don't like very much and they compensate by making a lot of jokes and pranks, you know twats. Yeah
10:47Can make comedians
10:50But you didn't learn a lot of lines you do are you keen on that or is that a kind of a god?
10:55I'm speaking again. I
10:58Take that very seriously because I
11:01Don't like watching people groping for their lines
11:04So I go for these long long long walks for weeks learning lines until it's like sort of dance that you can't forget
11:12but
11:13It's a lonely existence. This was all in Vancouver. I had no friends
11:18The rest of the crew and cast was staying a completely different place
11:21I was in my infinite grandeur in a sort of posh hotel
11:25I had no friends except one seal used to come out of the sea
11:32My uncle lives over there. Yeah, I'm not interested
11:38This is the first time I'm meeting you it could be the last
11:42This question, but but I'm I'm a huge fan. But did you have the same same approach and process on nine months?
11:50That's just hurtful
11:53It genuinely is my favorite film that's that's no it's a dig
12:00Genuinely speaking I like three weeks notice in writing if anyone's gonna mention that film
12:08Ambushed me with it. I didn't want to say Notting Hill, but you know, that would have been better
12:14Anyway, thanks
12:17And
12:19Heretic the movie you you're working with two young co-stars
12:23Sophie Thatcher and Chloe East and they've done a few films kind of younger actors
12:27Do you like working with people kind of newer to the game than you? Well, they're not that new there. They're veterans really
12:36Chloe East has been doing it since she was two
12:39And
12:41Sophie Thatcher's made all these very cool horror films a 24, you know cool. Yeah. Yep
12:49So I in some ways was in awe of them and they have a very difficult job
12:53They got to be
12:55Start being slightly scared 20 minutes into the film and then get progressively more and more scared for another hour and 10 minutes
13:01They are really good in it. I agree. I know real Mormons
13:04It's odd, isn't it? No. Yeah, they were cast
13:08They were cast just because they're brilliant and in in Sophie's case of a famous horror film star
13:15And then they reveal that actually we are
13:19They were both raised as Mormons, yeah, I think they've
13:23I feel you're bullshitting us. Is that true?
13:26Nine times out of ten that is true
13:29In this case
13:31They really were yeah
13:34Representation. Yeah
13:37No, here's the thing. I asked you about working with younger people people because when you were doing the
13:41Press tour with Timothee Chalamet for Willy Wonka. Yeah, I just noticed there was a slight difference in I would say your attitude
13:50We've got a little clip here. This is you doing a bit of promo in France
13:53and actually you're doing it in French and
13:56See if you can spot just a slight a slight difference in in their approach to doing press in French
14:02It will start with Timothy Hugh Grant
14:07Willy Wonka
14:20It's like you couldn't shake the character
14:23I
14:27Was a bit sulky but
14:29Only because I don't like introducing myself. I don't know why I don't you know say something say what your character is
14:36And what you're doing here? No, you say it, you know
14:40Yeah, that was my first question
14:46Well, you are terrific in heretic and you can all see yourselves in cinemas from the 1st of November
14:53very good
15:02Now ladies gentlemen and nanny Jerry has written a memoir this is it
15:06It's called a thousand threads and it's out now and I suppose the question that everyone this is the like what who do you play?
15:13And what could you guys about a character?
15:16Like such a loser because I can't really go into talking about how deeply I researched it except that I lived it
15:24You put the work in to make the book. Yeah, so and I just want to go back to that moment
15:29I mentioned in your intro, but this studio top of the pops
15:321988 you're performing Buffalo stance in here
15:38In here and it was in December so it's almost 36 years to the day and often if we're going to show a clip from
15:441988
15:45And it will be funny. It'll be hilarious
15:47So look what we used to look like look what you used to sound like you were so cool in this
15:52It's still so kind of current. Let's have a little look of you on top of the pops
16:22You
16:28Just found them in a club, yeah
16:30me and
16:31My dear dear dear dear friend Judy blame who I worked with for many years
16:37He and I were in the wag
16:39The infamous Wag Club on Water Street, and there were these two
16:45Nut bags and then there were a lot of nut bags
16:49You know
16:50But they were particularly
16:52Nutty they looked like two demented grannies
16:56Teenage grannies we were just like oh my god these two girls are so cool
17:01They have to be in the video of course we felt like
17:06Really like two creepy perverts kind of going up to them and sort of asking them if they wanted to come and be in a video
17:13I
17:16Did and
17:17They got on top of the pops, and they got on top of the pops, and we did quite a lot of gigs and yeah
17:23No, no looks so cool. I
17:26Went to the Wag Club in 1988, and I've just remembered that I got turned away
17:30I only went one way I got turned away because I was wearing my friend's suit
17:35And he's five four eight
17:37I
17:40Looked at my feet
17:44Yeah, because you must been around then did you go to those clubs it rings a big bell, but I drink so much
17:50I can't remember anything
17:53But here's the fascinating thing so that that moment when the world met you on top of the pops and all the success that followed
17:59Making it big in America and all those things
18:02Top of the pops doesn't happen till about three quarters the way through this book
18:05So are you kind of surprised when you finished it that that's how you see the shape of your life, I mean
18:13That's when I was kind of like you just said seen by the world
18:16But you know in reality I had a whole other life, and I've been making music since I was 16 roughly
18:24but
18:26Actually like I'm so thankful that I had the other stuff
18:30Before because I kind of I came I think from a quite free
18:35Kind of creative space that was kind of quite avant-garde. I think in a way. Yeah, I mean
18:42You know I mean so just knowing that there was always gonna be other lanes
18:46Yeah, explore to get to explore and you're right beautifully in the book about your dad Don Cherry
18:52It was you know really influential jazz musician
18:54And he introduced you to lots of different music and he was very open to different music
18:58But less keen on I think the first album you ever bought
19:02Which was a Donny Osmond record?
19:09I
19:10Can't even remember what was on that record, but yeah something like that because I was living
19:14You know literally in the forest in Sweden, and that's what all of the people you know my friends my girlfriends
19:22That's what they were listening to all of the Swedish women who lived in the forest in the foot
19:26Yeah, they were listening to Donny Osmond
19:29They were yeah, this is exactly what I imagine Sweden to be like
19:33I got like however much the record was like 35 crowns and together and went about the album
19:39And you know it felt really just like I've made it. You know I've got this this record. I have one, too
19:46But I'll never forget his face when I put that Donny Osmond working on like he didn't need to say anything
19:53I
19:56Yeah, this is you know you go on
20:01You are now I mean as you wrote this book a mother and a grandmother and I wondered at this point looking back
20:08What do you think because your parents allowed you to leave school and kind of be independent at what age 14?
20:15Yeah, I mean I left I left school and didn't go back when I was like 14 and a half
20:21We didn't really plan it it wasn't like I said to them
20:24You know I'm not gonna go back to school, and they said fine
20:27I was like can I just please have a little bit of time off, and I just haven't gone back yet, okay?
20:37I'm unfinished
20:40A-levels in your future I
20:43Mean we were very close family. Yeah, you know we were we were really tight
20:47So it wasn't like they just kind of weren't around. I mean we were very close, but I think they
20:53They were both creative people my mother was an artist, and I think that there we had a kind of faith
21:00system and they could see that I just
21:03Needed that little bit of time and then actually not that long after when I was 16
21:07I came to London and here we are still here and
21:11You obviously very successful actor, but when you announced you were going to be an actor were your parents
21:17Supportive not at all no
21:21My father's an old soldier literally yes
21:27My mother was a church-going teacher she wanted me to be the Archbishop of Canterbury
21:34To be honest I haven't given up
21:40And it just in that world show business meant nothing
21:43After four weddings and a funeral came out and suddenly I was you know people knew who I was
21:48My mum went to a dinner party amongst all these sort of
21:52Like-minded people and some man was standing next to her and said I hear you have two sons mrs. Grant, and what do they do?
21:58And she said oh well
21:59One's an investment banker and the others a film star and he said how very interesting which bank
22:13Your mother she is not shy of
22:16Giving feedback or advice. You know when I when I told her I I was gonna play Trump
22:23I I didn't really know what she was gonna say, you know
22:26so I I'd gotten used to now sort of telling people that I was gonna play Trump in a cautious way and and
22:33She just sort of pondered it for a second and then said oh, but but you're gonna have to shave right?
22:39And I was like, yes because he I don't think he can grow and she was like good because you look you look better
22:47When you're shaved
22:50Why is he on this show
22:54But yeah, she she doesn't hold back but and I love her for that and now your mom
23:00She's kind of the respectable one in the family. Well, I mean she's not but she
23:05She plays that part, you know, and I've spent years trying to out her but she's
23:11She pretends to be respectful
23:13she gets very cross with me when I come on shows and I say things that will embarrass her in the supermarket and like our
23:19whole lives we've
23:20My sister and I have made her the last 40 years just trying to embarrass her really
23:26My sister's a mother of two. She's fifth
23:29Sisters 52 and we go home and we both turn into kids trying to wind her up trying to get a rise ever trying to
23:36Embarrass her and we were out once and we and we were joking saying it was time
23:41But she's she got a new man in her life, you know
23:43I've been long enough since dad passed her she should date and she was going I don't want a date
23:47I'm not interested and we were getting the look
23:51We were getting the local paper. We were circling pictures of farmers and going this guy
23:56Seems nice and she was gone. I'm not interested. I'm not interested. She's getting more and more irritated. We were cackling
24:01This is by the way last year
24:04Like teenagers and all of a sudden she's just went. Hey, listen, we were in a cafe and she went hey, listen
24:10I'm not interested once and for all I'm not interested in men and then she paused and she went I
24:16Mean, I wouldn't mind a quick fuck
24:18And
24:23She's sort of Mike dropped out of the room
24:28And she went she went to the loo when she came back
24:31All of her arrogance of God and she sat down. I promise you she sat down at the table and she went
24:35Oh, no, I went what she goes you're gonna tell this on Graham. No
24:49And
24:51Moving on to Mr. Sebastian Stan who started a different man
24:56This is in cinemas and now and I got the poster tells you kind of some of the story
25:01So these are both you right? Right. So tell us about your your character Edward
25:07So Edward is a an aspiring actor who also happens to have neurofibromatosis
25:13Which is the tumors on your right, yeah
25:15and and those usually come when kids are around three or four years old, so
25:21And he lives alone in New York and lives a very sort of stereotypical
25:26Lone lonely isolated life and then one day he meets this lovely neighbor. She seems to take some sympathy on him
25:33but then he also decides to go and have this reconstructive surgery experiment and then
25:39It ends up with him looking like
25:43everyone walking around and and so he thinks all of his dreams and
25:48sort of
25:50Longtime wishes come true, but then actually it's the opposite the grass isn't greener
25:55it's it's sort of spirals down and he becomes quite obsessive and addicted with someone who actually
26:02resembles his previous self and
26:04Yeah, so and the the actor who plays the
26:09The other person the other actor. Yeah, who who shows up is Adam Pearson who actually has neurofibromatosis
26:16and he's worked with the director before on on a beautiful movie called chain for life and
26:22Aaron Schimberg who wrote and directed it actually wrote this part for for Adam and it's a really really different part
26:28He actually gets to play very much
26:31Who he is which is a very charismatic confident
26:35Gregarious outgoing person so very very different than the stereotypical roles
26:40We've seen given to disabled and disfigured actors and it sounds kind of really strange
26:45But we should say it is also a very funny film. It's incredibly funny
26:49Honestly, it's hard to describe because it is a paranoid thriller in a way
26:52It is scary and it is really funny and tragic at the same time and everyone that sees is
26:58Just thinks they've never seen anything like it. Yeah. Well the clip we have is your character obviously now no longer with the condition
27:05I'm feeling very conflicted but meeting the man who still has it
27:10Yeah, it's a tragedy I know this isn't gonna really be done about it
27:14I'm really like Edward a rather passive chap. What a cool sort of suicide
27:18But honestly, I was really hoping Edward and Fiona would live happily ever after
27:23But then what do you audience believe that I love your accent I get that a lot you yanks love my
27:32Just a bloke no one pays any attention to me. So oh my god, we should have Edward have an accent
27:38I reckon the critics would find it a really classy endeavor. That's a great idea guys speak like Oswald
27:43Can't
27:48How's the old lady doing
27:52And you do an American accent I could have been a contender
27:55I'm not a crook. Wow. That's amazing
28:07A lot of the humor is kind of based on the viewers
28:11Prejudice our own prejudice and our own kind of expectations of what those people would be like. Yeah, it's it's it is about you know
28:19I think it is about this awareness that we were sort of lacking towards towards anybody disfigured or disabled really
28:25But also towards other people who are different even opinionated and so on it and that's what makes the movie relatable
28:31I think and more universal and did Adam like did you talk to me? You didn't talk to Adam about playing?
28:36I did because I was obsessed with really trying to do him justice and anybody else justice that sort of walks the world like that
28:43every day and and and he was really kind, you know, very generous spoke to me about his childhood and his upbringing and
28:51And his mom as well sort of gave me her blessing and that was that was probably the best compliment for me and very exciting because
28:58Later this month. You can be seen in The Apprentice playing the young Donald Trump
29:01It's in cinemas from the 18th of October and now your mother might have thought it was a good idea
29:06But a lot of people did not think you should play this part
29:09No, naturally. I got a lot of
29:13Sort of why do this and certainly casting directors. I asked
29:18friends
29:20Yeah, I was even at a dinner once with the CEO of a studio and and he he thought you know
29:26This is what why do this?
29:28You're gonna alienate half the country and so but but for some reason every time someone tells me not to do something
29:34It's it's what all I can think about doing it
29:37It's very specific bit of his life. It is it's sort of you know, kind of the ascent the the origin so to speak
29:44I mean from the
29:461977 until about 85 86 or so when when he wrote the art of the deal
29:51And it wasn't just the voice and things you you tried to gain weight to play him not initially because the movie kept
29:57Losing finance and it would start and then stop and start and stop
30:01So I I never thought it was gonna happen and I was I was getting ready for Marvel and then the strike
30:05happened and then suddenly
30:07We were going and we try these prosthetics tests and and they were really really bad
30:13Terrible and then the director was like we have a month and a half like how much weight can you gain and
30:18Wow, and I called this nutritionist and they were like, you just need to start drinking beer now
30:26Tough life
30:29He doesn't drink and I was like, I'm not gonna drink so then oh
30:33So then so then he said I said what else can you do?
30:36He said you got to get ramen and put soy sauce in it like every day and get a good good bloat
30:43In your face. So then so so then it was good. That to me is a healthy meal
30:50I think I can have a few parts
30:54When's the last time you checked your LDL, uh earlier, actually
31:01Well, I was having a conversation today about ramen and
31:05You know, it's really kind of unhealthy a lot a lot of sodium. Yeah. Yeah salt like pork broth
31:11You've ruined lives tonight
31:17It's effectively a run
31:21Well
31:22Curry and curry. Yeah. Yeah, and here's an interesting thing Hugh Grant
31:28You've acted with Donald Trump
31:32He he always wants to be in my stuff. Yeah. Yeah
31:37There's a heretic cameo we didn't mention I
31:41Know but you have acted with him. Yeah, he was he played a bit part as himself in a romantic comedy
31:48I did with Sandra Bullock, but the fact is I don't really remember him very well
31:53The night he came I had a bet with Sandy that I could make the chairman of Warner Brothers cry by 9 p.m
32:00I
32:04Was completely focused on that it was quite a big bet she didn't believe I could do it, but I did it
32:14Well, I knew him I knew him quite well and I adored him and he was rather an emotional Irishman
32:19and I knew that if you mentioned either his children or his father or
32:24Castle Rock pictures that he used to be the head of and loved that he would tear up and
32:30I mentioned him over and over again. He was visiting the set that night and finally by about 830. He was in floods of tears
32:39Donald Trump didn't really register
32:42But he was nice to you or well
32:44all I remember is that a day or two afterwards I got a call to say you've been made a member of Trump National, New
32:49York and
32:52Alright then which was a golf club, but I I don't really I don't
32:57Remember him greatly as a as a person
33:03I'm not sure he does
33:06Come November should he win is part of you kind of worried about being on his list of enemies
33:15You know what you win some you lose some
33:20That's his attitude, yeah
33:22I
33:24You know, I don't I don't know but but I do feel
33:29Integrity honesty and self-truth is
33:33Endangered and I think if we're all gonna go forward being scared in any way shape or form
33:40Then everything is over. We might as well just call it a day, you know, well said that man
33:45Apprentice
33:51Okay
33:52Greg Davies brings us series three of the cleaner. It started tonight on BBC one and continues every Friday at 930
34:00It's also obviously on ie player now. You brought us a clip from next week's episode
34:06So what do we need to know about this clip? Well, I mean, it's gently offensive
34:11It involves a very funny Vicky Pepperdine and it's
34:15basically wiki
34:17wiki's in every man and and it just happens to have an extraordinary job, so he's really a man who just wants to go to
34:23the pub and
34:25Then he but he gets he meets all these weird and wonderful people and has to clean up murders
34:30So his job strange the people he meets are strange. This is a
34:35this lady is a mother of a heavily pregnant lady who has
34:40very specific views on
34:43Pregnancy, okay
34:46Was it you I spoke to on the phone? Yes, she's dying at the moment. She's just popped out to her hair done
34:50Good God, what for she said you'd like it
34:54Have you ever seen what childbirth does to a vagina?
34:59No, mine look like a pack of hyenas have been at it
35:03About
35:08Look at me look at me. I said, what do you make of that?
35:24Because
35:25Because you're writing it now. Are you having to mine your own life for some of this now?
35:30Well, I invariably do. Oh, yeah. Yes. There's a scene where where my characters
35:35trapped on a lighthouse with a mad lighthouse keeper and I get stung in the face by a jellyfish and then I read that the
35:42traditional cure for
35:44Jellyfish thing which is on my face is to it. You know what it is, right?
35:48Yeah, and that came from me being on holiday this year and I don't know
35:55Men of a certain age will know I don't know. I don't want to drag you two into it, but
36:01How many ways you're up for in the night?
36:03It's none of my business you
36:09Filmstar
36:12Well, I'm on I I'm on a two-way minimum
36:15I've got a two-way minimum prostate
36:18scarlet melon size
36:20and I was on holiday and I'd been for my two ways in the night and
36:26Then I
36:29Woke up and I needed a third way. I was just incensed. I thought no the deal is we have two weeks
36:37Don't have a third way. It's just disgusting, but I don't think it's unreasonable
36:41I decided I wasn't prepared to get out of bed for the third way
36:45So I had a empty pint glass by my bed
36:50Yeah, so I I
36:52Did what I needed to do then and then horrifically one hour later. I woke up and obviously I was so dehydrated
36:59I
37:01Tell you that drink was not refreshing
37:09Very supposed to be very good for every salty. It's like a ramen
37:20Now I turn to you grant not to talk about your prostate but you were a cleaner with you
37:26Well, it brings us back to prostates because
37:32My job I
37:34my speciality as a cleaner was
37:37Was lose was dung and pee. Yeah. Yeah, that's what I did. I was pretty good
37:44Sorry, do you call it dunk? I do. Yeah
37:48I
37:53Worked at IBM in Chiswick and I used to clean out the loo pipes when they were full of
38:00Crystalline urine. Oh
38:02It comes out like sugar
38:10But it was a depressing job and I did I do remember getting up one morning
38:14I was going out on my bike and thinking I can't do this anymore
38:16I wish I just wish the whole place would burnt down and I got around the corner
38:22And it was on fire
38:33Were they really Mormons
38:35I
38:43Use your job very exciting next February Bridget Jones not one not two not three but four Bridget Jones four comes out
38:55So you are as back as Daniel Cleaver
38:59We've crammed me in
39:00Okay, it's actually
39:03Very good and moving script and I say this as someone who's horrid about scripts
39:08This was brilliant because Helen Fielding who wrote these books
39:13She had a sad story. She got married to a
39:16American screenwriter
39:17She had children and he died and she raised the children by herself and then she started writing a novel about a woman raising children
39:23by herself with a dead
39:25father husband
39:26Realized the main character was a bit like Bridget
39:29So made it into a Bridget Jones book and it's as well as being extremely funny
39:33It's very very sad, but absolutely no role for Daniel Cleaver
39:39as far as I could see, but they wanted to cram me in so we sat down together and
39:44invented a
39:46preposterous
39:48Do you wrote your own scenes?
39:50Well, I'm quite Queen Ian difficult these days
39:55And I felt that what they proposed was fine, but not great
40:00So I and I felt that he needed a third dimension I said he look he's in his 60s now
40:04We can't just have him, you know, smoothing his way down the King's Road eyeing up young girls
40:11Something needs to have happened to him in the interim and so we invented rather a good
40:20Interim story look forward to that and the cleaner which continues on Fridays here on BBC one and of course on iPlayer
40:30I
40:33It's time for music this former star of superglue little mix recently launched her solo career and is here tonight to perform her new
40:40Single you go your way, please. Welcome Perry
40:43Oh
40:58Just wait
41:01So now that we just formed that is a very large single there we go, that's it isn't that is it?
41:08Yes, but it's off a forthcoming album. Yes, it's coming off my album. It hasn't got a name yet
41:13No, why?
41:15well
41:16Actually, it does. I just don't want to say what it is yet. Okay in case you change your mind or you're checking spelling
41:21What's going on?
41:24Because I reveal so much like I literally leaked so much of
41:28What's to come in my music and what concepts are on the album?
41:31What then song titles are something I should probably keep something hush-hush
41:35Okay once but the vibe would it be like that single but it'd be kind of up and yeah
41:40I think there's it's very eclectic my album because I just love music so much
41:44I wrote a song about my little boy Axel and it's so cute and it's called heartbeat say I shouldn't have said that
42:03Don't know why these things are so secretive, but they are honestly forget that I can't keep a secret. That's my problem
42:09Anyway, yeah, it's a song about my little boy called heartbeat and his heartbeat is like the sonogram, you know, like they've
42:16The first time you ever hear the heartbeat and I recorded it and in that moment
42:21I was like, I'm gonna make a song out of this. Oh, that's gorgeous. I know it made me cry. Yeah, so cute
42:26Well, your voice is sounding great Perry really really beautiful. Thank you very much for that performance. Good luck with the mysterious album
42:39Now
42:43For a quick visit to the big red chair, who do we have? Hello. Hello. Hello. What's your name? My name is Marianne Marianne
42:51I have high hopes for Marianne
42:53Where are you from Marianne? I'm from North London, North London keeping it vague and
42:58What do you do in North London? I'm a nurse a nurse Oh
43:03Medical stories very good. I'm I'm listen everything's crossed for you Marianne
43:07It's got to be great off you go with your story. Thank you
43:10So when I was training I got engaged to one of the hospital porters
43:18We were living together I had to call him one night when he was on a night shift
43:24Only when I called him, he actually wasn't on the night shift
43:28and I know there was a nurse who was quite popular and
43:34Who had eyes for him and I knew where she was working so I phoned the ward and surprise surprise she'd gone off sick
43:42So I trotted round to the nurse's home where she lived knocked on her door
43:47she opened it looked absolutely horrified and wasn't wearing much and
43:51I said, oh I heard you weren't well came to see if you needed anything
43:57No, that's really kind of you but no no, thanks I said, okay
44:01But you know as I'm here, I've never seen these rooms. Would you mind if I had a look round?
44:07She was as I barged past her. She was bleating. Well, it's very messy. I said, oh, I don't mind
44:12I walked in I thought I've made a terrible mistake is not here
44:16And then I saw an open window and I thought good God were on the sixth floor
44:22And as I did the door of a very small wardrobe
44:27And inside it was my very large six-foot-three fiance in his pants and his socks
44:35So I just turned around said yeah, you're right. This room is a mess. Oh
44:40Walked out. He tried to follow me in his pants and his socks. There was a wooden staircase
44:46He slipped fell the whole length of it landed at the bottom and knocked his front tooth out
44:56I
45:05Was gonna say that yeah, I'm not sure he was
45:10He was just fixing the window I think she left a conclusion
