00:15 Hello, welcome back to Good Week, Bad Week with Nancy and Marina at nationalworld.com
00:21 I think we've had some positive news this week, maybe some good weeks Marina, I feel like there's been quite a few bad weeks recently
00:29 Shall we start with Ant and Dec, or more specifically maybe Ant
00:35 So at the weekend there were lots of rumours and it's been confirmed that he is expecting his first baby with his wife, which is nice news for them
00:44 Yeah that's lovely news because I think he's spoken about wanting to become a dad for quite a while
00:50 So I think he's now in his late 40s, so I think that is really lovely news for both of them
00:57 So obviously Dec has two children with his wife, so I think Ant and Dec as we know are extremely close, not only close colleagues but very good friends
01:11 So I'm sure once hopefully the baby's born they'll be going on lots of playdates with Dec's children
01:20 Maybe with creaky bones starting a family so late in life, but I think we all wish them the best
01:25 It's interesting, they have got a magic touch haven't they, I know they're incredibly well paid
01:31 but they have just, they've not been off the public scene really since they were teenagers
01:37 and despite a couple of bumps in the road, I think they are just amongst the most popular Brits with the rest of us Brits that you can possibly imagine
01:47 I mean Limitless Win has not even been going particularly long, but it seems to be a huge success and it's them that makes the programme
01:53 I'm amongst thousands of people who really only watch us, I'm a celebrity, get me out of here, because of them
01:59 because they make the entire show and they've just given the new date for when Saturday Night Takeaway comes back
02:06 and I suspect everybody will be clamouring to watch that as well, what is their secret?
02:10 Well that's the million dollar question isn't it Nancy, I think they've just got sort of magnetism that you can't replicate
02:19 some people have it, some people don't and obviously they're an incredible duo together rather than separately
02:26 and I think it goes back to potentially because they've been working together for so long
02:32 obviously they started together on Biker Grove for those of you who remember it
02:37 and when you've been together for so long you sort of build up, not always, but a sort of natural chemistry
02:45 and yeah I don't know how you can sort of replicate that, sort of the longevity of their relationship, their partnership
02:54 It wouldn't work with one of them, you're right, it's a bond between them and you want to be their friend
02:59 and you love their own friendship and yeah, but it's great, I feel they just lift spirits don't they?
03:03 They are just, they're just a joy to watch
03:06 I think you're right though, they're lifting spirits, that sort of familiarity, people want to sort of watch them
03:13 because they're used to them, they're comfortable with them and they're just sort of likeable
03:18 Yep, no, absolutely, so good week for them, nice to hear some good news in their personal life
03:24 we talk about them like it's both of them but I'm sure they're almost equally happy at the news
03:29 Another great week, well it was Valentine's Day this week, now a certain couple with Stormzy involved
03:38 have had a great Valentine's Day by the sounds of it, can you tell us a little bit more about the Valentine's gift that Stormzy got?
03:46 Well if it is true, so reportedly I think Stormzy gifted Maya Jama with approximately £45,000 Hermes Birkin bag
03:59 which was of course made famous by the late, wonderful Jane Birkin, and it's great, lucky her, lucky Maya Jama
04:08 I think that I just, there's something about Maya Jama and Stormzy that I just think they're such a fantastic couple
04:14 I don't know what you think Nancy?
04:16 Yeah, no, I completely agree, they seem very different characters but they look great together
04:22 and you just hope that it lasts, I would love to see little baby Stormzy and Maya Jama running around on beaches somewhere
04:31 Can you imagine how gorgeous they'd be?
04:33 Exactly, they would be utterly stunning, but I think also, I feel like they're fairly good role models
04:40 in a world where, their worlds, and they don't necessarily live in the same world in terms of their careers
04:46 but it's not a strong place for role models, I think Stormzy has actually done some really good stuff
04:53 that maybe not everybody is aware of, but it's done a lot of paying kids towards universities
04:58 a lot against knife crime, all those kind of things, and you just think actually they're using their power for good
05:07 and if they come together and do that, well how brilliant for the world, because the world needs good
05:13 100% and they had a split for quite a while, but the fact it makes it even more romantic
05:19 that they've come back together, so here's hoping that we might see an engagement wedding this year for Maya and Stormzy
05:27 It would be a very glamorous wedding, wouldn't it?
05:29 But I think, so it was the MoBos as well, and Stormzy wasn't there, he sent a message
05:36 but again he's just so key in the black music industry and he's got so many people looking up to him
05:43 and fortunately they are looking up because he's a great role model, so I can't say I would ever
05:48 I can't imagine how much money I would need to have in the world to want to spend £45,000 on a handbag
05:53 for anybody, let alone myself
05:56 I think, you know, it was a wonderful, extravagant gift, but I think they only go up in value Birkenbach
06:03 so one could say it was an investment
06:07 Yeah, unless you've got like dirty nappies and the things that most mums have to carry around in their handbags
06:11 potentially it would go down, depending on your life
06:13 Yeah, does she?
06:15 She doesn't, she doesn't
06:17 Okay, we may disagree on the next one, so we've had two good weeks, good week or bad week for Harry and Meghan
06:23 What do you think?
06:25 Well, I don't know actually, this is a tricky one because I think there's been some positives but negatives
06:31 so could we have somebody who's in between a good week and a bad week rather than necessarily bad week
06:37 Average week
06:39 Average week, yes
06:41 So I don't know necessarily Nancy if we will disagree on Meghan and Harry
06:47 I think she looks fabulous, doesn't she in Canada, on this promoting the Invictus Games, so she does look wonderful
06:54 She does look incredible
06:56 Yeah, so and obviously there's been talk about their website this week and she's got, you know, there's a lot of talk obviously when they were dropped from Spotify
07:08 but she's got a new podcast deal with these female founders of this company called Lemonata
07:14 so some would say that was a negative because obviously they got dropped by Spotify
07:19 but she has got a new deal so that is a positive and obviously the rebrand of the website's been controversial
07:26 and about the children, Prince Arch and Princess Lilibet, dropping them, taking up the name of the Sussexes as their surname
07:35 which has sort of created a bit of controversy amongst some people
07:40 so yeah, I'd say mixed week for them but she is looking utterly fabulous I think
07:46 So I wonder if where they are, away from the real nasty British press, actually it's been a really good week for them
07:56 I was pondering back on the coverage of Harry's court case
08:01 and when he was giving evidence and when they looked like there was a chance that the newspapers would win, there was loads of coverage
08:06 when he actually won and when he got the second payout, some newspapers didn't even write anything about it
08:14 so this is completely an agenda about two people that none of us know, they could be angels or they could be horrible people
08:22 none of us know that but we are being completely controlled by a British press that is angry at them
08:28 because they've taken them on and they are winning so I think that's always worth bearing in mind
08:34 they'll be really pleased, the website looks great, they're off doing nice things
08:39 the kids are presumably happy away from the spotlight, the royal family has got loads of troubles
08:44 but the royal family always has troubles, all families have troubles
08:47 and I just don't actually see the problems here other than this outside pressure
08:51 which is entirely created and which manipulates how we all feel about them
08:55 so I think maybe I'm going to say it's a good week for them you know
08:58 Yeah, yeah, we're never going to stop talking about them
09:02 that is what happens when you are born into a family that whether we agree or not
09:07 is there to rule us all and we're going to have the worst thing that they do
09:11 but we'll never stop talking about it
09:15 but yeah so interesting, some nice positive stories
09:18 hopefully everybody had a great Valentine's or Galentine's or just a day filled with love
09:22 whether you've got another half or not
09:24 and we will be back next week with some more upbeat and no doubt some good moaning as well
09:31 Thanks Marina
09:32 Thanks
