00:00 (upbeat music)
00:02 - Well, I mean, I'm paid to be here, I'm the host.
00:06 So, no, no, it's lovely.
00:08 It's lovely to be invited,
00:09 and it's an honour to be asked to host.
00:11 So, yeah, definitely.
00:12 - And what have you been watching on TV recently?
00:15 Or loving on TV, rather.
00:17 - Do you know what?
00:18 This is drama.
00:18 I've literally been watching this free series,
00:20 the third series coming out this week.
00:21 It's called "Cobra,"
00:22 and it's basically about the Prime Minister
00:25 and what would happen in a certain situation.
00:27 I literally love it.
00:28 I wanna watch it all again.
00:29 It was that good.
00:31 - So you love a political drama?
00:32 - I love anything that I think could be real.
00:34 If I think it could be real, it frightens me.
00:36 I love it.
00:37 - Have you been watching "Drag Race"?
00:39 - I have not seen none of "Drag Race" this year,
00:42 purely for the sheer fact of
00:43 I've been literally working every day.
00:45 However, I have got a binge waiting to happen,
00:48 which I quite like.
00:50 I got into "Drag Race" sort of years ago,
00:52 like season three of the American version,
00:54 and I binged it,
00:56 and I've not been able to do that since.
00:57 So with this series, where I've been working,
00:59 I've got a binge coming up,
01:00 and literally I'm not gonna leave the house.
01:02 - What's been your favorite season of any "Drag Race"?
01:05 - Oh, no, you can't ask me that.
01:07 I mean, I love all the UK versions, obviously,
01:11 because I'm a UK boy,
01:12 but the American version,
01:14 I think the all-stars with Alyssa in was just amazing.
01:18 Oh, no, you can't ask that question to a gay man.
01:21 What's wrong with you?
01:22 - Is there any other reality TV you've been,
01:24 like "Housewives," anything else?
01:27 - For a gay, I'm a bad one,
01:29 'cause I've never jumped on the "Housewives" bandwagon.
01:31 My mum loves "Housewives,"
01:33 and I stayed with my mum for a little while
01:35 a couple of years ago,
01:36 and she was watching,
01:37 I think it was "Housewives of Atlanta."
01:39 Is that with NeNe and all of them?
01:41 I mean, I was into it,
01:43 but I've not followed it up.
01:44 But bad gay points, I need to carry on.
01:48 - How, what have you been up to?
01:51 Like, what have you been working on,
01:52 or anything exciting coming up?
01:54 - I mean, nothing I can tell you.
01:55 No, no, I'm hosting a new show for Amazon,
01:58 Amazon's first ever reality show.
02:00 So that's been exciting.
02:01 It's called "Hot Mess Summer."
02:02 So I was in Greece for four weeks filming that,
02:04 which was fun.
02:05 And then I was in Italy for another four weeks
02:07 with Rob Rinder doing the grand tour.
02:09 And that's either gonna win us a BAFTA
02:11 or cancel the pair of us,
02:13 so I'm not too sure.
02:14 - That's the only, they're the only choices.
02:16 - Yeah, that is literally it,
02:17 all in or all out.
02:19 - Go hard or go home.
02:20 Anyway, thank you so much.
