00:00:03,360 --> 00:00:05,455
APPLAUSE

2
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,295
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

3
00:00:14,320 --> 00:00:16,495
Hello there, everyone!

4
00:00:16,520 --> 00:00:18,815
How are you doing?
Thank you for coming.

5
00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:20,175
Thank you for joining us.

6
00:00:20,200 --> 00:00:22,375
Thank you for joining us at home,
of course.

7
00:00:22,400 --> 00:00:25,375
And good evening, everybody.
Welcome to The Jonathan Ross Show.

8
00:00:25,400 --> 00:00:27,935
We have got a fabulous show
lined up for you tonight.

9
00:00:27,960 --> 00:00:29,895
Let's have a look
at who's in my green room.

10
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:32,215
Now, I could list my first guest's
hits and awards,

11
00:00:32,240 --> 00:00:33,735
but we'd be going on all night.

12
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:35,575
No-one in the country
doesn't know who he is,

13
00:00:35,600 --> 00:00:37,735
he's one of the most successful
people in the world,

14
00:00:37,760 --> 00:00:39,095
and with good reason.

15
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:41,855
It is, of course, Ed Sheeran,
ladies and gentlemen.

16
00:00:41,880 --> 00:00:44,935
Ed is with us.
Hi, Ed! Great to see you again.

17
00:00:44,960 --> 00:00:47,295
Alongside Ed,

18
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,575
we have a man
with just about the smoothest voice

19
00:00:49,600 --> 00:00:51,295
in show business.

20
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:54,495
It's smoother than a dolphin
in a smoking jacket.

21
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,135
LAUGHTER

22
00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:58,775
It's smoother than George Clooney
on rollerblades.

23
00:00:58,800 --> 00:01:00,015
LAUGHTER

24
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:01,775
Smoother then Gregg Wallace
in a wetsuit.

25
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:04,775
I'll tell you how smooth it is,
it's smoother than a waxed otter

26
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:06,655
wearing sunglasses
smothered in Vaseline,

27
00:01:06,680 --> 00:01:09,215
sliding down a newly varnished
banister listening to jazz.

28
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:10,375
LAUGHTER

29
00:01:10,400 --> 00:01:12,935
It's the man that needs
no introduction - Michael Buble!

30
00:01:12,960 --> 00:01:14,535
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

31
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,255
See how smooth he is.

32
00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:20,735
And I'm excited to say

33
00:01:20,760 --> 00:01:23,255
we've also got another home-grown
superstar for you tonight.

34
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,015
I'm so thrilled
she's back in the country,

35
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:27,335
even more delighted
she's back on the show,

36
00:01:27,360 --> 00:01:28,615
it's Lily Allen!

37
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:30,375
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

38
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:31,975
Love the blonde bob.

39
00:01:32,000 --> 00:01:34,975
Plus, once again, I'm thrilled.

40
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:36,215
An award-winning comedian,

41
00:01:36,240 --> 00:01:37,975
whose voice
you'll probably recognise

42
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,815
from the hit dating show
Too Hot To Handle.

43
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,775
She's always great on the show -
the hilarious Desiree Burch!

44
00:01:42,800 --> 00:01:44,215
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

45
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:48,735
And as if that weren't enough,

46
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,375
joining us on the show tonight
from his home in Australia,

47
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,735
where it's roughly 6:30
in the morning,

48
00:01:53,760 --> 00:01:55,935
so he might be a bit grumpy,

49
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,055
Hollywood legend Russell Crowe
will be joining us as well.

50
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:00,695
Good Russell.

51
00:02:03,520 --> 00:02:04,815
Before I get my guests out,

52
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,255
let's go to the big story
of the week.

53
00:02:06,280 --> 00:02:07,415
The big, big story.

54
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:10,295
A man from East London
has a very large dog.

55
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:12,735
SCATTERED LAUGHTER

56
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:14,535
How large is it,
you might be wondering?

57
00:02:14,560 --> 00:02:16,775
It's so large, he's been sharing
pictures of it online.

58
00:02:16,800 --> 00:02:18,935
Shall we see the big good boy,
ladies and gentlemen?

59
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,055
AUDIENCE: Yes!

60
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:22,455
Here he is with his owner
trying to get him into the car.

61
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:24,375
Look at the size of that.

62
00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:27,695
Here he is playing pool.

63
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:29,895
There's the dog playing pool.
Look at that.

64
00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:31,855
The problem with playing pool
with a dog, of course,

65
00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:33,855
is every time you pot the ball,
he brings it back.

66
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,575
Something like that.

67
00:02:35,600 --> 00:02:38,015
His owner's quite tall,
so you can't really get the benefit,

68
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:39,615
I don't think,
from those photographs.

69
00:02:39,640 --> 00:02:40,695
To put it in context,

70
00:02:40,720 --> 00:02:42,615
to give you a sense of how big
the dog really is,

71
00:02:42,640 --> 00:02:44,575
we've put him next
to a regular-sized man.

72
00:02:44,600 --> 00:02:46,015
And you can see here...

73
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:47,415
LAUGHTER

74
00:02:47,440 --> 00:02:50,015
Look how big he is! He's a big dog.

75
00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:51,615
APPLAUSE

76
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,135
Shall we get on with the show,
ladies and gentlemen?

77
00:02:57,160 --> 00:02:58,255
AUDIENCE: Yes!

78
00:02:58,280 --> 00:03:00,695
I think we probably should.
Let's get my first guest out here.

79
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:02,575
Of course, it's Ed Sheeran!

80
00:03:02,600 --> 00:03:04,695
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

81
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:17,855
Come and sit down, Ed.

82
00:03:17,880 --> 00:03:20,655
Great to have you back on the show,
Ed.

83
00:03:20,680 --> 00:03:22,895
Isn't it lovely
to have Ed Sheeran on the show?

84
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:24,735
CHEERING

85
00:03:24,760 --> 00:03:27,615
And you look super well.
You look really...

86
00:03:27,640 --> 00:03:29,215
You're glowing
with a certain health.

87
00:03:29,240 --> 00:03:31,975
You look very together, you look
focused, and you look a bit buffer.

88
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:34,175
Have you been working out?
Have you been training?

89
00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:36,455
Thanks, man.
I'll give you my routine.

90
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:38,975
What is the routine, then?
What are you doing?

91
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:42,175
Er... Sounds so, like...

92
00:03:42,200 --> 00:03:44,535
AMERICAN ACCENT: Arms Monday.
Legs Tuesday. Yeah.

93
00:03:44,560 --> 00:03:45,895
So, you're pumping the iron?

94
00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,175
Yeah, you know,
I always thought you had to go on,

95
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:50,775
like, long, long runs,
and I hate running.

96
00:03:50,800 --> 00:03:55,015
And, yeah, I do, like, dead lifts
and squats and all of that.

97
00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:58,775
The proper... I don't like running
either cos the nipples.

98
00:03:58,800 --> 00:04:01,335
But it looks good. You look great.
Thank you.

99
00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:03,215
You've had a new baby...
Cos you had Lyra. Yeah.

100
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,495
And you have a new baby
called Jupiter. I do, yeah.

101
00:04:05,520 --> 00:04:07,455
Congratulations.
Thank you. Thank you.

102
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:08,935
So lovely.

103
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:10,495
Two babies.
Two, yeah.

104
00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:11,975
That's pretty full-on, isn't it?

105
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,655
It's great, though, man.
It's great being a girl clad.

106
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:16,935
I love...
I just love having daughters.

107
00:04:16,960 --> 00:04:18,095
They're the best.

108
00:04:18,120 --> 00:04:20,295
Do they like your music?
Do you play? Do you sing to them?

109
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:21,895
Er... Yeah, actually.

110
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,095
But very much...
I mean, you know what kids are like,

111
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,855
they kind of get obsessed
with one thing

112
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:27,575
and they want that over again.

113
00:04:27,600 --> 00:04:30,055
They don't like
the extensive catalogue.

114
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:33,055
But they might be, like,
"Play Shivers." Yeah.

115
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:34,295
They're like the rest of us.

116
00:04:34,320 --> 00:04:36,495
When you say, "Here's something
from the new album,"

117
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:38,695
they go, "No, thanks."
Yeah, yeah. Precisely.

118
00:04:38,720 --> 00:04:41,535
Coincidentally, I am playing
something from the new album today.

119
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,295
I know.
Let's talk about the new album.

120
00:04:43,320 --> 00:04:45,495
The new album is out in May,
is that right? It's in May.

121
00:04:45,520 --> 00:04:47,455
I have the new album here,
ladies and gentlemen.

122
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:48,775
AUDIENCE: Whoo!

123
00:04:48,800 --> 00:04:50,575
Do you know what,
I don't even have this.

124
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:52,535
You have a vinyl
that I don't even have.

125
00:04:52,560 --> 00:04:56,095
That's the new album.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

126
00:04:56,120 --> 00:04:58,775
That is... I think that's you
on the cover. Yeah.

127
00:04:58,800 --> 00:05:01,855
Very arty.
That is the title of the album.

128
00:05:01,880 --> 00:05:03,855
It's in keeping
with the mathematical symbols.

129
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:06,255
This one is now, it's not Minus,
this is Subtract.

130
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:08,575
Subtract, yeah.
Subtract. OK.

131
00:05:08,600 --> 00:05:10,815
How long are you gonna stick
with the mathematical...?

132
00:05:10,840 --> 00:05:12,855
You must be running out.
No, this is it.

133
00:05:12,880 --> 00:05:14,535
It was meant to be Plus,
then Subtract,

134
00:05:14,560 --> 00:05:18,495
but I kept pushing this one back
just because it was, erm...

135
00:05:18,520 --> 00:05:19,935
I dunno, in my mind,

136
00:05:19,960 --> 00:05:22,135
Subtract was, like,
this perfect acoustic album,

137
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:24,135
and I knew
it was always gonna be lo-fi.

138
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:26,095
Ancl I guess that kind of scared me
in a way

139
00:05:26,120 --> 00:05:27,695
cos I wanted to make it perfect.

140
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,575
Ancl some stuff happened to me
at the beginning of last year,

141
00:05:30,600 --> 00:05:32,775
and I wrote this album
whilst that was happening.

142
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,215
I put the other one to the side,
and now this is Subtract.

143
00:05:35,240 --> 00:05:37,615
It's kind of happened in,
like, a backwards way.

144
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:39,815
You mentioned
you've been through some stuff,

145
00:05:39,840 --> 00:05:42,495
and everyone's going through stuff,
we were talking before. Totally.

146
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:44,175
But I know you have been through

147
00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:46,055
a lot of big, emotional things
in your life,

148
00:05:46,080 --> 00:05:49,695
and some of the tracks on the album
are coloured by that,

149
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:51,655
informed by that, inspired by that.
Totally.

150
00:05:51,680 --> 00:05:54,695
Er, which ones do you feel
comfortable talking about?

151
00:05:54,720 --> 00:05:58,735
I know one was the far too young,
a friend of yours died.

152
00:05:58,760 --> 00:06:01,815
Yeah. Yeah, do you know,
I feel like...

153
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:05,575
Ancl this is the one thing about
having adult stuff happen to you,

154
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:07,775
is you realise that
everyone else is going through

155
00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:08,975
exactly the same thing,

156
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,535
and I didn't really talk
to anyone about it.

157
00:06:11,560 --> 00:06:13,975
It's only through doing,
like, the Rolling Stone interview

158
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:16,575
and the documentary coming out
that all the news is coming out,

159
00:06:16,600 --> 00:06:18,615
and the amount of people
that are coming out to me

160
00:06:18,640 --> 00:06:20,335
who are going through
the same thing.

161
00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:22,735
Ancl you just never know
what is going on in someone's clay.

162
00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:24,975
You said before the show,
I thought it was fascinating,

163
00:06:25,000 --> 00:06:27,655
you were talking about
how you felt sometimes on stage,

164
00:06:27,680 --> 00:06:29,455
how alone you sometimes felt.
Yeah.

165
00:06:29,480 --> 00:06:31,495
And it wasn't
till you had an interview with...

166
00:06:31,520 --> 00:06:34,775
No, I watched Robbie Williams.
He did, like, a documentary on TV.

167
00:06:34,800 --> 00:06:37,175
And, you know, his rise to fame...

168
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,815
Obviously, he was in Take That,
but his solo career,

169
00:06:39,840 --> 00:06:42,695
I felt, was quite similar to me,
just in terms of trajectory

170
00:06:42,720 --> 00:06:44,415
and the venues that he was doing,

171
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,415
and what the albums were doing,
and how big it got,

172
00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:49,535
and how isolated it got, and how
he had a problem with his weight,

173
00:06:49,560 --> 00:06:52,135
and he had a problem with drugs,
and he a problem with alcohol.

174
00:06:52,160 --> 00:06:54,695
Ancl I was watching this thing
being like, "Oh, man,

175
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:57,015
"he's gone through exactly
what I've just gone through."

176
00:06:57,040 --> 00:06:59,855
Ancl I emailed him, and I said,

177
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,615
"Your documentary
made me feel less isolated."

178
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:04,095
Ancl he was like, "Ironically,

179
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:06,295
"that email just made me feel
less isolated."

180
00:07:06,320 --> 00:07:08,535
I think it's just good
to talk about things,

181
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:11,735
not just pop star to pop star,
but person to person.

182
00:07:11,760 --> 00:07:13,975
Elton helped you out a lot,
didn't he?

183
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:16,415
He helped Robbie out as well,
didn't he? He helped Robbie out.

184
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:17,695
Well, Elton's just...

185
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:20,655
He's clone everything, hasn't he?
Good and bad. So, like, he's...

186
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:22,055
LAUGHTER

187
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:25,815
He's someone
with a wealth of experience.

188
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:28,975
No matter what you do,
no matter how bad the thing is...

189
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:31,375
Elton's clone it.
..Elton probably did it first.

190
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:33,535
Innit, though?
Probably in high heels.

191
00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:34,975
LAUGHTER

192
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:37,175
innit, though? Yeah, it's true.
Definitely.

193
00:07:37,200 --> 00:07:40,735
But he's a wonderful man because
he does share that to help people,

194
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,495
doesn't he?
Totally.

195
00:07:42,520 --> 00:07:45,695
Ancl normalises it. You know,
he normalises these things.

196
00:07:45,720 --> 00:07:48,935
And, yeah,
I find Elton a fantastic person.

197
00:07:48,960 --> 00:07:52,615
And, yeah, I'm honoured
to be in his sphere.

198
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:54,375
Yeah. He's a lovely man.

199
00:07:54,400 --> 00:07:56,695
Let's go back, if I may,
go back to this young man who died,

200
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:59,455
cos I know how close you were,
and he kind of helped your career.

201
00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:01,695
His name was Jamal, wasn't it?
Mm. Jamal Edwards, yeah.

202
00:08:01,720 --> 00:08:03,455
He was very well-known online.
Yeah.

203
00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:06,255
And you'd known him since when?
When did you first meet him?

204
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:08,615
When I first moved to London,
really. We, er...

205
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:11,655
I was sort of like this struggling,
up-and-coming musician,

206
00:08:11,680 --> 00:08:13,575
wanting anyone to take me seriously,

207
00:08:13,600 --> 00:08:17,295
and no-one was taking me seriously
because I was, like, fat,

208
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:18,935
like, scraggly, ginger hair.

209
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:21,375
I had a tiny guitar,
and I used to rap and beat box,

210
00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:23,575
and everyone kind of saw me
as a joke.

211
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,735
Ancl Jamal put me on his channel
which, at the time, on YouTube...

212
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:30,215
Which, at the time, was, like,
the coolest channel to be on.

213
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,535
<i>And as soon as he put me on,</i>

214
00:08:32,560 --> 00:08:34,335
everything started
to fall into place.

215
00:08:34,360 --> 00:08:37,455
My manager found me, my record label
started getting in touch.

216
00:08:37,480 --> 00:08:40,735
I was living at his at the time.
The first clay we met, I just...

217
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,975
I didn't have anywhere to live,
and I just moved in at his,

218
00:08:43,000 --> 00:08:44,735
and we just did all these, like...

219
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:46,935
I probably did 20 videos for him
that year

220
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,895
of, like, different songs and stuff,
and then it blew up.

221
00:08:49,920 --> 00:08:52,895
We sort of just carried that on.

222
00:08:52,920 --> 00:08:54,775
I mean, the clay that he passed away,

223
00:08:54,800 --> 00:08:56,975
we were meant to be shooting
a music video.

224
00:08:57,000 --> 00:08:58,895
How old was he when he died?
31.

225
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:00,615
That's too young, isn't it?
Mm.

226
00:09:00,640 --> 00:09:03,295
And when was the last time before
his death that you spoke to him?

227
00:09:03,320 --> 00:09:06,495
Four hours, probably.
Wow. Yeah.

228
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:07,575
Was it after his death,

229
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:09,375
was that what inspired you
to go to therapy?

230
00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,975
It was, like...
It was a bunch of stuff.

231
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:16,575
My wife had a sort of health scare
complication,

232
00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:18,535
and then Jamal died,

233
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,775
and then I went straight into
a court case,

234
00:09:20,800 --> 00:09:24,535
and then I had another friend die
whilst in the court case.

235
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:27,495
I just...
I dunno, I've never really...

236
00:09:27,520 --> 00:09:29,175
I've always had ups and downs
in my career,

237
00:09:29,200 --> 00:09:30,615
and I've always been...

238
00:09:30,640 --> 00:09:33,215
It's the English thing, innit?
just keep calm, carry on.

239
00:09:33,240 --> 00:09:36,535
You don't talk about it.
Yeah, and also, like, I dunno...

240
00:09:36,560 --> 00:09:39,615
I feel like therapy in America
is far more accepted,

241
00:09:39,640 --> 00:09:41,855
whereas here,
no-one really talks about it.

242
00:09:41,880 --> 00:09:45,175
Ancl I just felt ashamed
even thinking about going to do it.

243
00:09:45,200 --> 00:09:47,655
Ancl then I...

244
00:09:47,680 --> 00:09:50,295
We just had a really, really low
three months,

245
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:52,575
and my wife talked me into
going into therapy.

246
00:09:52,600 --> 00:09:55,535
Ancl I started doing it,
and I realise it's not like a button

247
00:09:55,560 --> 00:09:57,815
you press where you're like,
"I'm automatically OK."

248
00:09:57,840 --> 00:09:59,655
But it definitely helps,
and I would recommend

249
00:09:59,680 --> 00:10:01,175
if anyone's having real lows.

250
00:10:01,200 --> 00:10:05,455
Just speaking to someone who is paid
to hear you out and normalise it,

251
00:10:05,480 --> 00:10:07,295
and be like,
"It's OK to think like that."

252
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,215
It's just good to talk.

253
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:11,655
Get it out and have someone listen
to help make sense of it.

254
00:10:11,680 --> 00:10:13,815
Totally. Cos before,
I would just not talk to anyone,

255
00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:14,935
I'd keep it all bottled up.

256
00:10:14,960 --> 00:10:16,735
I think that's when
you get lower and lower.

257
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,695
Well, it's a great thing to hear,
isn't it?

258
00:10:18,720 --> 00:10:21,455
Because it's a really useful thing.
APPLAUSE

259
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,655
And in particular, I think,
I know it sounds weird,

260
00:10:23,680 --> 00:10:25,455
but young men in particular...
Yeah.

261
00:10:25,480 --> 00:10:26,735
...seem to bottle it up.

262
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:29,095
And so for a young man to tell
other young men to do that,

263
00:10:29,120 --> 00:10:31,135
I think is a very important thing.

264
00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,135
So, the song you're doing tonight,
Eyes Closed,

265
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:35,415
that's about Jamal, is it?
Or is it inspired byjamal?

266
00:10:35,440 --> 00:10:36,775
Yeah, no, it is.

267
00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:39,695
We both lived in the same area
of London and hung out a lot there,

268
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:41,935
and I found, after he passed away,
everywhere I went,

269
00:10:41,960 --> 00:10:43,135
I thought I'd see him

270
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:45,175
cos it was all the places
that we always went to.

271
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:46,935
So, yeah,
the song is essentially that.

272
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,415
And when you're performing
a song like that,

273
00:10:49,440 --> 00:10:51,615
which obviously has
quite a deep meaning to you,

274
00:10:51,640 --> 00:10:52,855
is it difficult to sing?

275
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:54,575
Is it somehow liberating
to sing that?

276
00:10:54,600 --> 00:10:56,895
Yeah, it's... Do you think of him
when you're doing it?

277
00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:59,935
It's different now it's out.
I find songs are...

278
00:10:59,960 --> 00:11:01,575
They're so personal
when you write them,

279
00:11:01,600 --> 00:11:03,095
and they belong to you.

280
00:11:03,120 --> 00:11:05,255
Ancl the first time
I ever played it...

281
00:11:05,280 --> 00:11:06,975
I did a gig at Union Chapel,

282
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,495
I took everyone's phone away,
and I played the gig.

283
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,095
And I cried
when I was introducing it,

284
00:11:11,120 --> 00:11:13,295
I cried during it,
and I cried after it.

285
00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:15,095
It's because the song
still belonged to me,

286
00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:17,335
it was still my story.
But I find, like...

287
00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,615
A song like Perfect is about
my wife, and I've released it,

288
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:22,935
but no-one in this audience
listens to Perfect

289
00:11:22,960 --> 00:11:24,375
and goes, "It's about Ed's wife."

290
00:11:24,400 --> 00:11:26,055
They listen to it
and relate it to them.

291
00:11:26,080 --> 00:11:28,215
I think it's about your wife.
Well, thank you.

292
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,135
What's the best song on the album?

293
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:33,455
Er... Well, I think
the second-to-last song,

294
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,135
it's called No Strings.
OK.

295
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:37,135
Ancl it's, you know... I had a...

296
00:11:37,160 --> 00:11:42,495
You know, 2022 was a year
of lots of things happening

297
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:44,895
with me and my family.

298
00:11:44,920 --> 00:11:48,215
Ancl I sort of said to my wife
that if we can get through this,

299
00:11:48,240 --> 00:11:51,455
like, if we get through 2022,
it's a breeze from here.

300
00:11:51,480 --> 00:11:53,815
Literally, anything can happen
from here, and we're good.

301
00:11:53,840 --> 00:11:56,415
So the song is...
You know, the first lyrics are,

302
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:59,175
"If we make it through this year,
nothing will break us."

303
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:00,935
Ancl then the chorus is,
"This is no strings,

304
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:02,495
"you're who I love,
that won't change.

305
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:04,655
"When we're falling apart,
it's just growing pains."

306
00:12:04,680 --> 00:12:06,495
I love how much you love your wife.

307
00:12:06,520 --> 00:12:07,935
<i>CHUCKLES
AS BORAT: My wife.</i>

308
00:12:07,960 --> 00:12:10,255
LAUGHTER

309
00:12:10,280 --> 00:12:13,175
Let me... I've got a quote.
In that Rolling Stone...

310
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:15,575
There's a big interview about Ed
in Rolling Stone magazine.

311
00:12:15,600 --> 00:12:17,135
It's a very good interview, I think.

312
00:12:17,160 --> 00:12:19,575
It's very thorough, and you
come out very well, of course.

313
00:12:19,600 --> 00:12:21,135
But there's a quote from your wife,

314
00:12:21,160 --> 00:12:23,335
talking about you having the baby,
the new baby,

315
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,655
and she said, "Babies love Ed
because he's got an unusual face."

316
00:12:26,680 --> 00:12:28,855
LAUGHTER

317
00:12:28,880 --> 00:12:30,615
OK, on the one hand,
I know what she's saying,

318
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:32,375
but on the other hand,
it's a bit of a diss.

319
00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:34,935
LAUGHTER
I'm under no illusion, though.

320
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,455
Like, no-one's buying my records
because of the way I look.

321
00:12:38,480 --> 00:12:41,255
You look good now you're working out
17 hours a day. Thank you.

322
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,975
But I still have an unusual face.
It's not unusual, Ed.

323
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:47,655
Well, no-one else has it.

324
00:12:47,680 --> 00:12:49,015
Yes, it's uniquely yours.

325
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,215
No, you've grown into your face,
is what I'm saying.

326
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,655
Thank you.
You've seen it over the years.

327
00:12:53,680 --> 00:12:54,935
I've seen you grow up.

328
00:12:54,960 --> 00:12:57,135
When you were a young man, yeah,
you were weird.

329
00:12:57,160 --> 00:12:59,295
But now you're...
When I first came...

330
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:00,615
I first came on here 11 years ago.

331
00:13:00,640 --> 00:13:02,415
You were definitely
more ginger back then.

332
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,495
Yeah, I think my hair's going white,
I really do.

333
00:13:05,520 --> 00:13:06,855
It's going, like, blonde-ish.

334
00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,295
I've got grey in my beard,
which is why I shave it.

335
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,895
Ed, I'm gonna ask you
a hard-hitting question. Yeah.

336
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,135
So get ready for this.
If I go too far, tell me.

337
00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:16,935
I have read that when
you're on stage singing a ballad...

338
00:13:16,960 --> 00:13:19,655
Oh, God.
I know what you're gonna say.

339
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:21,015
Is it true?

340
00:13:21,040 --> 00:13:23,175
Well, actually, you say it first.

341
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:25,255
LAUGHTER

342
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:26,655
You've got a lot of ballads.
Yeah.

343
00:13:26,680 --> 00:13:28,415
And people love
to hear you singin' 'em.

344
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:30,775
Sol don't wanna spoil them
for people. Yeah.

345
00:13:30,800 --> 00:13:33,015
But I have been informed
that when you do sing

346
00:13:33,040 --> 00:13:34,815
a ballad in particular on stage,

347
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,135
you often expel wind.

348
00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:40,135
It's not often.
It's just, like, sometimes.

349
00:13:40,160 --> 00:13:42,335
You know, you're standing still
for four minutes,

350
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:43,975
and I've been holding it in.

351
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,175
You're out in the open.

352
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:48,375
No, but it's mad,
the things that you think about.

353
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:50,855
Lily and Michael'll say this,
but when you're on stage,

354
00:13:50,880 --> 00:13:52,375
sometimes, your mind just wanders,

355
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:54,575
and you can just think about
the most random things.

356
00:13:54,600 --> 00:13:58,295
I sometimes cut out the second verse
of Thinking Out Loud cos I'm like...

357
00:13:58,320 --> 00:14:00,895
"Oh, I wonder if
the next season of Succession is out

358
00:14:00,920 --> 00:14:02,375
"at the moment."

359
00:14:02,400 --> 00:14:05,135
Honestly, you get in a trance
of singing the song.

360
00:14:05,160 --> 00:14:08,695
I was in New Zealand, and I forgot
the lyrics to Galway Girl,

361
00:14:08,720 --> 00:14:10,295
and I just had
a complete mind blank on it

362
00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:12,295
cos then I was like,
"What are the lyrics?"

363
00:14:12,320 --> 00:14:15,055
Ancl I got a little girl from the
audience to come up and finish it,

364
00:14:15,080 --> 00:14:16,895
which was actually
a really cool moment.

365
00:14:16,920 --> 00:14:19,055
Then she came up,
I said, "Who can sing the song?"

366
00:14:19,080 --> 00:14:20,495
She went, "Me! Me! Me!"

367
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:22,455
I brought her up,
and the moment she got on stage,

368
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,295
she was like,
"I don't know the lyrics."

369
00:14:24,320 --> 00:14:25,655
LAUGHTER

370
00:14:25,680 --> 00:14:28,015
Ed's gonna stick with us,
ladies and gentlemen.

371
00:14:28,040 --> 00:14:30,015
We're gonna have
another whole chunk with Ed,

372
00:14:30,040 --> 00:14:32,255
and then he's gonna get ready
to perform for you live

373
00:14:32,280 --> 00:14:34,455
at the end of the show,
which is great!

374
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,735
So stick around
and don't go anywhere

375
00:14:36,760 --> 00:14:37,855
because, in a few moments,

376
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,055
we'll be joined by Lily Allen
and Michael Buble.

377
00:14:40,080 --> 00:14:42,175
See you after the break.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

378
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:51,335
APPLAUSE

379
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:57,055
Welcome back to the show.
Let's get my next guests out.

380
00:14:57,080 --> 00:15:00,295
She is a singer who is now getting
rave reviews for her acting,

381
00:15:00,320 --> 00:15:02,495
and he is a multi-platinum
selling artist.

382
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,895
It's the brilliant Lily Allen
and Michael Buble.

383
00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:06,135
APPLAUSE

384
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:14,615
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

385
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:17,615
You look amazing.

386
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:20,935
You look amazing.
Hollywood glamour. Come on in.

387
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,135
Michael, good to see you again.

388
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:25,415
Come on in, come on in.
Sit down here.

389
00:15:25,440 --> 00:15:27,215
Come on and grab a seat.

390
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,335
How are you, guys?
Good.

391
00:15:31,360 --> 00:15:33,535
Lily, lovely to have you back
on the show. Thank you.

392
00:15:33,560 --> 00:15:35,335
Michael, how lovely to see you again
as well.

393
00:15:35,360 --> 00:15:36,935
I am so happy to be here.

394
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,015
Michael, you know Ed a little bit.
Are you a fan of Ed and Lily's work?

395
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:41,575
Yeah...

396
00:15:41,600 --> 00:15:42,695
LAUGHTER

397
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:45,135
No, no, no, I mean, there's...

398
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:46,935
Yesterday, this is not a lie,

399
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,095
my kid was playing Guitar Hero
or something.

400
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,535
He's 10, and he goes,

401
00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:54,215
"HeY, POPPY, P°PPY-"
And he's playing.

402
00:15:54,240 --> 00:15:55,535
And he goes, "Do you know this?"

403
00:15:55,560 --> 00:15:57,695
# Bad habits

404
00:15:57,720 --> 00:15:59,735
# La la... going alone

405
00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,975
# This information that was... #

406
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:04,735
And I go like, "I know this song!
That's my buddy Ed Sheeran."

407
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,455
And he goes, "Poppy, why don't you
write music like that?"

408
00:16:07,480 --> 00:16:08,735
LAUGHTER

409
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:10,975
And that's the truth!

410
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:13,335
And in my head, I think...

411
00:16:13,360 --> 00:16:14,895
HE MOUTHS

412
00:16:14,920 --> 00:16:16,575
That stupid kid!

413
00:16:16,600 --> 00:16:20,215
You have that Game Boy because of
the great shit that I'm writing!

414
00:16:20,240 --> 00:16:21,495
LAUGHTER

415
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,095
And you! You bring me so much joy.

416
00:16:24,120 --> 00:16:25,375
Oh, thank you.

417
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,775
Because I live part-time
in Argentina.

418
00:16:27,800 --> 00:16:30,135
So half in Canada, and Argentina.

419
00:16:30,160 --> 00:16:32,455
Argentina, obviously,
we don't speak English.

420
00:16:32,480 --> 00:16:34,655
That's not the first language.
It's Spanish.

421
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:37,575
And there's a very popular
television show, like, a big one,

422
00:16:37,600 --> 00:16:38,895
and it's on at night,

423
00:16:38,920 --> 00:16:40,535
called Lanata, and...

424
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,375
But kids are up late,
and they watch it.

425
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:47,015
And I love it, because your song
is the theme song.

426
00:16:47,040 --> 00:16:50,175
No way! They don't know because
it doesn't mean anything to them,

427
00:16:50,200 --> 00:16:52,855
but it means something to me
cos I speak English.

428
00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,055
And you've got to see...
Cos the thing starts...

429
00:16:55,080 --> 00:16:56,575
Have you got the clip of it?

430
00:16:56,600 --> 00:16:59,175
No, but you're sitting there,
watching the opening of the thing,

431
00:16:59,200 --> 00:17:01,335
and there's kids,
and all the kids are watching,

432
00:17:01,360 --> 00:17:02,455
and they're going...

433
00:17:02,480 --> 00:17:03,495
# Fuck you!

434
00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:06,335
# Fuck you very, very much! #

435
00:17:06,360 --> 00:17:07,975
LAUGHTER

436
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:12,535
And to them, it could be
the goddamn Muppet Show.

437
00:17:12,560 --> 00:17:14,415
But to me, I'm going,

438
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:16,615
"They're saying fuck you."

439
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,055
Did you know that?
I did not know that.

440
00:17:18,080 --> 00:17:20,455
You don't know about that?
Oh, and it plays every night.

441
00:17:20,480 --> 00:17:22,695
Wow, where are my royalties?!

442
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:23,935
LAUGHTER

443
00:17:23,960 --> 00:17:26,415
You are so rich in pesos.
You have no idea.

444
00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,255
It's lovely to see Lily.

445
00:17:28,280 --> 00:17:30,455
Isn't it lovely to see Lily
back in the UK?

446
00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,615
APPLAUSE
I know you've been away for a while.

447
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:34,295
Last time I saw you on stage,

448
00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,495
you've kind of moved more
into acting now,

449
00:17:36,520 --> 00:17:39,015
I guess that would be more of your
kind of primary thing right now?

450
00:17:39,040 --> 00:17:40,535
Yeah.
But before we talk about that,

451
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:42,255
you performed at Glastonbury
last year?

452
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:44,495
I did, yes, with Olivia Rodrigo.

453
00:17:44,520 --> 00:17:46,695
So, what happened?
How did that come about?

454
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,455
Well, I have two daughters,
Ethel and Marnie.

455
00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:53,335
Ethel, who is my oldest, was sitting
next to me at home one evening

456
00:17:53,360 --> 00:17:57,055
when I got an email from somebody
that I sort of used to know,

457
00:17:57,080 --> 00:17:59,895
and she said,
"I'm working with Olivia Rodrigo,

458
00:17:59,920 --> 00:18:03,375
"would you like to perform with her
at Glastonbury?"

459
00:18:03,400 --> 00:18:05,775
Ancl Ethel was looking
over my shoulder, she was like,

460
00:18:05,800 --> 00:18:08,055
"If you don't do that...

461
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:11,055
"I will never talk to you
ever again."

462
00:18:11,080 --> 00:18:12,815
So I said, "No."

463
00:18:12,840 --> 00:18:14,095
No, I'm joking.

464
00:18:14,120 --> 00:18:17,175
No. And, yeah, so I said, "Yeah,
of course, I would love to do that."

465
00:18:17,200 --> 00:18:18,855
So, how was it getting
back on stage?

466
00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:20,575
Being back at Glastonbury,
here in the UK?

467
00:18:20,600 --> 00:18:23,495
And presumably your daughters are in
the audience watching you as well?

468
00:18:23,520 --> 00:18:25,175
Yeah, they came. I mean, it was...

469
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:26,855
I don't know what
they were expecting.

470
00:18:26,880 --> 00:18:28,095
I think they thought maybe

471
00:18:28,120 --> 00:18:30,415
I was gonna be singing,
like, back-up or something.

472
00:18:30,440 --> 00:18:32,575
APPLAUSE
And it was...

473
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:33,975
I was really, really nervous

474
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:35,575
because I haven't clone it
for a long time.

475
00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:37,015
I haven't clone it sober.

476
00:18:37,040 --> 00:18:39,655
And, erm...
LAUGHTER

477
00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,855
Ancl I don't really know
what I was expecting.

478
00:18:41,880 --> 00:18:44,175
I kind of was slightly expecting her
to introduce me,

479
00:18:44,200 --> 00:18:45,935
and people be like, "What? Who?"

480
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,095
But it wasn't like that.
It was really, really amazing.

481
00:18:49,120 --> 00:18:50,815
People went absolutely ballistic.

482
00:18:50,840 --> 00:18:52,655
Ancl so I was really,
really overwhelmed.

483
00:18:52,680 --> 00:18:54,015
But my kids were just, like,

484
00:18:54,040 --> 00:18:56,615
"What is going on?"
Because they...

485
00:18:56,640 --> 00:18:59,775
You know, Olivia Rodrigo
is like their idol. Yeah.

486
00:18:59,800 --> 00:19:02,055
Ancl they couldn't really
get their heads around the fact

487
00:19:02,080 --> 00:19:04,655
that people were kind of screaming
even louder for me

488
00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:06,255
than they were for her
at some points.

489
00:19:06,280 --> 00:19:09,175
That must have been amazing.
They were just very, very confused.

490
00:19:09,200 --> 00:19:12,055
We got off stage, and they didn't
really want to talk to me.

491
00:19:12,080 --> 00:19:14,375
They were a bit overwhelmed
by the whole thing.

492
00:19:14,400 --> 00:19:16,535
Ancl then we got in the car
on the way back,

493
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:18,575
Marnie looked at me, and she went,

494
00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:19,855
"So...

495
00:19:21,360 --> 00:19:23,495
"..were you kind of popular, then?"

496
00:19:23,520 --> 00:19:25,215
LAUGHTER

497
00:19:25,240 --> 00:19:26,455
I was like, "Yeah."

498
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,615
She was like,
"What, like in the charts?"

499
00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:29,895
"Yes ! I"

500
00:19:29,920 --> 00:19:32,655
But that's nice. It means you
haven't been forcing it on them.

501
00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,455
You haven't been making them dance
around and listen to your stuff.

502
00:19:35,480 --> 00:19:37,935
Absolutely not.
Lily Allen is banned in our house.

503
00:19:37,960 --> 00:19:40,815
Really? That must be difficult
for you.

504
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:43,335
But you don't play your own music,
then? Absolutely not.

505
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:46,455
Why not? The only time
I ever really played my own music

506
00:19:46,480 --> 00:19:50,495
is when I was, like, drunk and high,
and wanted to tell all my friends,

507
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,215
like, "Listen to this really great
song that I've just written."

508
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,495
Buble's kids are begging him
to stop playing his albums.

509
00:19:55,520 --> 00:19:56,855
LAUGHTER

510
00:19:56,880 --> 00:19:59,455
I mean, I listen to lots of Buble.

511
00:19:59,480 --> 00:20:01,855
I listen to both of you
when I'm drunk and high.

512
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:03,335
LAUGHTER

513
00:20:03,360 --> 00:20:05,295
That's what I do. That's my thing.

514
00:20:05,320 --> 00:20:06,735
LAUGHTER

515
00:20:06,760 --> 00:20:08,255
Michael, and I'm pleased to say,

516
00:20:08,280 --> 00:20:11,455
he's back here because he will be
touring here again soon.

517
00:20:11,480 --> 00:20:14,135
Michael Buble, back in the UK,
touring.

518
00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:15,975
The tour is called Higher.

519
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:17,775
And I know you love it here.
You must like...

520
00:20:17,800 --> 00:20:21,695
I know you like the country, but you
must like playing for UK audiences?

521
00:20:21,720 --> 00:20:24,615
Yeah, I love them. Great people.
I mean, you're my people.

522
00:20:24,640 --> 00:20:26,815
And I get to be this, me.

523
00:20:26,840 --> 00:20:28,735
I don't have to pretend and...

524
00:20:28,760 --> 00:20:31,615
I don't have to be careful
or politically correct.

525
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:34,415
You know what I mean? I don't.
You guys are amazing.

526
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,215
I mean, just a little bit now.
Hang on.

527
00:20:37,240 --> 00:20:38,455
LAUGHTER

528
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:39,895
You do?!
You do, yeah.

529
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,295
A little bit.
Really? Is that true?

530
00:20:42,320 --> 00:20:44,255
A bit more than
when you were last here, yeah.

531
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:45,455
LAUGHTER

532
00:20:45,480 --> 00:20:46,975
Oh, I didn't realise that.

533
00:20:47,000 --> 00:20:48,495
Michael, don't stop being you.

534
00:20:48,520 --> 00:20:51,975
We want to see you get cancel led,
and then get uncancelled again.

535
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:53,615
LAUGHTER

536
00:20:53,640 --> 00:20:55,335
We want to go on that journey
with you.

537
00:20:55,360 --> 00:20:56,495
No, we don't!

538
00:20:56,520 --> 00:20:58,695
OK, so look...

539
00:20:58,720 --> 00:21:01,335
You've all got big fan bases.

540
00:21:01,360 --> 00:21:03,335
And I know
some of the fans are somewhat...

541
00:21:03,360 --> 00:21:05,815
Obsessive's the wrong word.
But very devoted.

542
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:09,335
Erm... and some of them
often want to share their devotion

543
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:11,215
via the art form of tattoos.

544
00:21:11,240 --> 00:21:13,655
We have one of Lily up here...
Oh, look at that.

545
00:21:13,680 --> 00:21:15,975
...on the back of someone's leg.
Oh, wow.

546
00:21:16,000 --> 00:21:17,415
You look great there, too.

547
00:21:17,440 --> 00:21:20,495
Have you ever had anyone show you
a tattoo of themselves?

548
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,455
Come up and say,
"I've got you on my body."

549
00:21:22,480 --> 00:21:26,015
Yeah, I think so. Outside of gigs
and stuff, people have said...

550
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:27,895
And how do you respond to that?

551
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:30,015
Erm, you know...

552
00:21:31,480 --> 00:21:33,735
LAUGHTER
"That's great!"

553
00:21:33,760 --> 00:21:35,615
Ed, quite a few people
have tattoos of you.

554
00:21:35,640 --> 00:21:37,495
Have you seen many of them?
This is great.

555
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:39,855
LAUGHTER,
APPLAUSE

556
00:21:39,880 --> 00:21:42,695
I like it. It's minimal. Minimal.

557
00:21:42,720 --> 00:21:45,535
It captures a certain essence.
I think that's early in your career.

558
00:21:45,560 --> 00:21:47,575
It kind of looks almost anime.
Yeah.

559
00:21:47,600 --> 00:21:50,895
It looks a little like Elton john
with a ginger wig on.

560
00:21:50,920 --> 00:21:53,175
OK, and now we have Michael.

561
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,495
Because one fan in particular,
I know, had a weird tattoo

562
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:57,495
they showed you at a gig,
didn't they? Yeah.

563
00:21:57,520 --> 00:22:00,775
And it was a really cute young girl.
I was like, "This is so cool."

564
00:22:00,800 --> 00:22:02,495
She was like, "Oh!"
And she had a tattoo.

565
00:22:02,520 --> 00:22:04,695
So I went over cos it was like,
"This is cool."

566
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,895
You know,
maybe I'll do a picture with her.

567
00:22:06,920 --> 00:22:08,255
I have the photo
it was based on.

568
00:22:08,280 --> 00:22:11,135
Oh, for God's sake. You do, huh?

569
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,935
Where was the photograph taken?
The photo was taken at Disneyland.

570
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,135
OK.
It was taken at Disneyland!

571
00:22:16,160 --> 00:22:19,535
And just so you know,
I was with my godson,

572
00:22:19,560 --> 00:22:22,055
and he was in this thing,
and there was butter everywhere,

573
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:23,375
I tried to clean up the butter.

574
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:25,295
This asshole paparazzi had
followed me all day,

575
00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,935
waiting for that shot.

576
00:22:26,960 --> 00:22:30,615
OK, here's the shot of Michael
that inspired a fan.

577
00:22:30,640 --> 00:22:33,255
This is him at Disney World.
There you go.

578
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:34,855
LAUGHTER

579
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:36,295
OK, that's...

580
00:22:37,320 --> 00:22:39,175
LAUGHTER

581
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:44,775
OK, OK.
I love it.

582
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:46,535
I will never unlive this!

583
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,015
I mean...
That's great.

584
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:50,855
Is it weird to be turned on
by a picture?

585
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,375
Some technique.

586
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:56,055
And then this is the tattoo
on a young woman's body.

587
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:57,655
LAUGHTER

588
00:23:01,920 --> 00:23:03,855
Oh, that's so good.

589
00:23:03,880 --> 00:23:06,055
Wow! Michael, wow.

590
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:09,215
Agh! I got four children!

591
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,975
What do you say...?
What do you say to your kids?

592
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:14,935
What is it?
It's corn.

593
00:23:14,960 --> 00:23:17,095
Doesn't everybody
eat their corn like that?

594
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:18,575
LAUGHTER

595
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,295
Lily, great to have you back. You
don't live here any more, do you?

596
00:23:21,320 --> 00:23:22,575
You live in New York City?

597
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:24,815
I am, yeah,
spending lots of time in New York.

598
00:23:24,840 --> 00:23:26,495
And how is that? Do you enjoy it?

599
00:23:26,520 --> 00:23:29,015
Do people know you there as much
as they know you here?

600
00:23:29,040 --> 00:23:30,375
Do you get recognised much?

601
00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:31,655
No, not really.

602
00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:33,335
I mean, it's... It's nice.

603
00:23:33,360 --> 00:23:36,255
I kind of have a lot of anonymity
there that I don't have here.

604
00:23:36,280 --> 00:23:38,655
Ancl I think it's really good
for my kids. They enjoy that.

605
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,855
Although, I did marry
someone really famous,

606
00:23:40,880 --> 00:23:43,055
and now they just have
a famous stepdad.

607
00:23:43,080 --> 00:23:44,295
Well, we should mention,

608
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:46,895
of course, you're married
to David Harbour... Yes.

609
00:23:46,920 --> 00:23:48,575
...who's an amazing actor.

610
00:23:48,600 --> 00:23:51,175
APPLAUSE
An amazing star.

611
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:52,655
So much charisma.

612
00:23:54,040 --> 00:23:57,295
He was in Stranger Things.
Amazing in Stranger Things.

613
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:00,815
Amazing in the Black Widow movie
as well. He's so good in that.

614
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:02,975
I met him downstairs earlier.
Yeah.

615
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:05,495
I felt sexually attracted to him.

616
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:06,695
LAUGHTER

617
00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:08,735
He's giving off a lot of energy,
isn't he?

618
00:24:08,760 --> 00:24:11,295
He is very sexy, yeah.
Yeah.

619
00:24:11,320 --> 00:24:13,575
So people presumably know him
more than you out there?

620
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:15,175
Yes, very much so.

621
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:17,135
How did you meet him?

622
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,655
On a dating app. OK.
Called Raya.

623
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:20,855
So you met online?
You were doing dating apps?

624
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,535
I was doing...
Well, it was the first time

625
00:24:23,560 --> 00:24:25,055
that I'd been on this dating app.

626
00:24:25,080 --> 00:24:27,775
At least, that's what I've told him.
No, I'm joking.

627
00:24:27,800 --> 00:24:29,735
Yeah, the first time I'd been on
this dating app,

628
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:31,695
I was on holiday with a friend
of mine in Italy.

629
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:35,175
Ancl he was on the same dating app.
So I sort of joined it.

630
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:38,855
Ancl yeah, I was sort of scrolling
through,

631
00:24:38,880 --> 00:24:43,535
and landed on David's profile
and pressed "accept".

632
00:24:43,560 --> 00:24:46,895
But I... I didn't know who he was.
I just thought...

633
00:24:46,920 --> 00:24:49,255
I thought he was just, like...

634
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:55,775
I thought he was just, like,
a sexy policeman from...

635
00:24:55,800 --> 00:24:56,895
LAUGHTER

636
00:24:56,920 --> 00:24:59,495
From a reality TV show or something.

637
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,215
Because it's a bit
of a celebrity app.

638
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:04,375
So you're not really on there
unless you're a little bit famous.

639
00:25:04,400 --> 00:25:06,695
But I didn't... He was wearing
a policeman's uniform.

640
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:08,935
The policeman's uniform
he wears in Stranger Things?

641
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:11,415
Yes, it was a stills picture
from him in Stranger Things.

642
00:25:11,440 --> 00:25:13,215
But I've never seen
Stranger Things.

643
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:15,535
So you thought
he was just a reality show cop?

644
00:25:15,560 --> 00:25:16,855
LAUGHTER

645
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:19,695
Yeah, I thought,
"Yeah, that's a bit of me." Wow.

646
00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:20,935
LAUGHTER

647
00:25:20,960 --> 00:25:22,455
Michael, how did you meet your wife?

648
00:25:23,680 --> 00:25:26,455
She thought I was gay. OK?
Is that what you want to know?

649
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:30,015
LAUGHTER
She thought I was gay because I...

650
00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:32,415
She saw what you were doing
with the corn.

651
00:25:32,440 --> 00:25:34,855
LAUGHTER

652
00:25:34,880 --> 00:25:35,935
No, she...

653
00:25:35,960 --> 00:25:39,175
So, I played a show, and she came
into the restaurant after,

654
00:25:39,200 --> 00:25:41,415
and they said,
"Would you take a picture

655
00:25:41,440 --> 00:25:43,455
"with one of our most
famous actors?"

656
00:25:43,480 --> 00:25:46,855
And I said... I'm just drunk.
I said, "No, I'm not really..."

657
00:25:46,880 --> 00:25:49,495
And then it was her. And
I'd remembered her from the show.

658
00:25:49,520 --> 00:25:50,815
I said, "Oh, my God."

659
00:25:50,840 --> 00:25:53,015
So she walked in, like,
she blew me away.

660
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,335
She's the most beautiful woman
I've ever seen. Still in my life.

661
00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:58,655
And she came in with her co-star.

662
00:25:58,680 --> 00:26:02,495
And the co-star, he truly made
Brad Pitt look like a pig.

663
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,695
LAUGHTER

664
00:26:03,720 --> 00:26:05,135
And I assumed they were together.

665
00:26:05,160 --> 00:26:07,655
So I'm not a rude guy.
I'm a gentleman.

666
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,855
And because of courtesy,
I literally didn't even...

667
00:26:09,880 --> 00:26:11,775
I said, "Hello,
it's nice to meet you" to her.

668
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,415
And then I spoke to him. He could
speak English, she couldn't.

669
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:17,215
I tried to figure out if they were
together. I was getting hammered.

670
00:26:17,240 --> 00:26:19,095
And by the end of it,
I was going, like...

671
00:26:19,120 --> 00:26:21,375
SLURRING: "Your arms
are bigger than my legs."

672
00:26:21,400 --> 00:26:24,015
And she didn't speak English!

673
00:26:24,040 --> 00:26:26,175
And then I said,
"How long have you been together?"

674
00:26:26,200 --> 00:26:27,255
Trying to figure it out.

675
00:26:27,280 --> 00:26:30,055
And he said, "No, we are not...
We are not together.

676
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:32,815
"Actually, I think she like you."

677
00:26:32,840 --> 00:26:35,775
I said, "What?! I have a chance?"

678
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,415
But I didn't know, at the same time,
she was texting her mom saying,

679
00:26:39,440 --> 00:26:42,335
"Yeah, I come to meet Michael Buble,
but he is so gay."

680
00:26:42,360 --> 00:26:43,895
LAUGHTER

681
00:26:45,480 --> 00:26:46,535
APPLAUSE

682
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:49,215
Well, it's turned out well.
It's turned out well.

683
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:51,015
Before we...
Before we go to the break,

684
00:26:51,040 --> 00:26:53,215
I feel I should ask Ed,
how did you meet Cherry?

685
00:26:53,240 --> 00:26:55,535
Where did you meet?
High school.

686
00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,415
So you were high school sweethearts?

687
00:26:57,440 --> 00:26:59,255
Er... No, we were friends
in high school,

688
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:00,535
and then we hooked up later.

689
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,335
That's lovely.

690
00:27:02,360 --> 00:27:03,975
Am I allowed to say this?

691
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:05,695
Just... I mean, it's nothing bad.

692
00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,215
Hold it, if you're asking
permission, I'm worried.

693
00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:12,495
I felt it was one of the most sweet
and wonderful romantic things.

694
00:27:12,520 --> 00:27:13,855
I've talked to my wife about it.

695
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:15,695
We're hanging one day,
this is years ago...

696
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,295
We were in Vancouver. I was like,
"Oh, what's your plan?"

697
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,655
He was like, "Dude,
I am so crazy about this woman,

698
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,855
"I am so in love, and that's it."

699
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:25,695
And he goes,
"I wanna ask her to marry me,

700
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:28,015
"I wanna have kids,
I wanna take some time off."

701
00:27:28,040 --> 00:27:31,615
I was listening to him, and I was
like, "Hmm-mm", thinking...

702
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,135
He did it. He did exactly what
he said he was gonna do.

703
00:27:34,160 --> 00:27:38,375
And to this day, I was always like,
"Dude, that's pretty fantastic."

704
00:27:38,400 --> 00:27:40,815
That was your plan, you did it,
it's real.

705
00:27:40,840 --> 00:27:42,975
What a dude.
Thanks, man.

706
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,615
APPLAUSE

707
00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,255
We've got so much more
to talk about.

708
00:27:46,280 --> 00:27:47,855
We're gonna take a quick break now.

709
00:27:47,880 --> 00:27:50,495
And we're gonna be joined afterwards
by Desiree Burch.

710
00:27:50,520 --> 00:27:51,775
So don't go away.

711
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:54,135
APPLAUSE

712
00:27:59,800 --> 00:28:02,215
APPLAUSE

713
00:28:04,440 --> 00:28:06,615
OK, welcome back to the show,
everybody.

714
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:09,775
I'm still here with Lily Allen,
Michael Buble and Ed Sheeran,

715
00:28:09,800 --> 00:28:11,775
but let's get my next guest out.

716
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:14,615
It is the award-winning and
very funny comedian, Desiree Burch.

717
00:28:14,640 --> 00:28:20,495
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

718
00:28:31,040 --> 00:28:33,215
Oh, girl, you're following me round.

719
00:28:33,240 --> 00:28:35,255
So fancy, yes.
Desiree, great to have you here.

720
00:28:35,280 --> 00:28:37,135
It's so lovely to be back.
Thank you.

721
00:28:37,160 --> 00:28:39,335
So, I know you've met these guys
backstage. Yes.

722
00:28:39,360 --> 00:28:41,335
You've been over here
for quite a while.

723
00:28:41,360 --> 00:28:44,055
Of course, she's American,
you might have worked out already.

724
00:28:44,080 --> 00:28:47,135
You moved over here, when, was it?
Uh, eight years ago, in 2014.

725
00:28:47,160 --> 00:28:48,615
2014.
So, yes.

726
00:28:48,640 --> 00:28:51,495
I've seen this country
through Brexit and Trump. Wow.

727
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,095
Yeah. Yes.
Wow.

728
00:28:53,120 --> 00:28:56,135
I know, you were relying on me
this entire time.

729
00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:57,215
LAUGHTER

730
00:28:57,240 --> 00:28:59,415
You know, I've liked you
for a long while, as you know,

731
00:28:59,440 --> 00:29:01,255
and I've had you on before.
I love your comedy,

732
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:02,775
but I didn't realise
you were doing...

733
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:04,215
I hope everyone watches, too.

734
00:29:04,240 --> 00:29:06,375
On Netflix, you can see a show -
Too Hot To Handle.

735
00:29:06,400 --> 00:29:07,375
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

736
00:29:07,400 --> 00:29:09,535
Nice.
Don't know if you guys have seen it.

737
00:29:09,560 --> 00:29:11,135
It's a kind of dating show

738
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:13,335
with very conventionally attractive
young people,

739
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,535
who are all quite horny, I believe.

740
00:29:15,560 --> 00:29:16,975
Yes. Well, I mean,

741
00:29:17,000 --> 00:29:19,695
aren't all
conventionally attractive people?

742
00:29:19,720 --> 00:29:22,535
I mean, I don't want to prejudge,
but I just say that because,

743
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:25,815
you know, beauty is a currency,

744
00:29:25,840 --> 00:29:29,335
and these people are rich with it,
right? And if you had...

745
00:29:29,360 --> 00:29:31,815
If you woke up,
if everybody woke up tomorrow,

746
00:29:31,840 --> 00:29:33,695
and you were an 11 out of 10,

747
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:35,935
would you not abuse the hell
out of that?

748
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:37,375
Immediately!
LAUGHTER

749
00:29:37,400 --> 00:29:39,615
The whole point of it is
they're not allowed to have sex,

750
00:29:39,640 --> 00:29:41,255
and then you make situations

751
00:29:41,280 --> 00:29:43,775
where you know they're not gonna
be able to stop themselves

752
00:29:43,800 --> 00:29:45,655
<i>because they are... They are he': up.</i>

753
00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:48,975
Yeah, it's like we put them,
like a puppy in bed with a steak.

754
00:29:49,000 --> 00:29:51,535
And then we're like...
"Hey, don't break any rules, guys.

755
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:52,895
"We're counting on you."

756
00:29:52,920 --> 00:29:54,895
And you have them rubbing
up against each other.

757
00:29:54,920 --> 00:29:56,535
SHE LAUGHS
Yes.

758
00:29:56,560 --> 00:29:57,895
It's like... It's gonna happen,

759
00:29:57,920 --> 00:29:59,495
and then they get penalised for it.
Yes.

760
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:03,855
There's this pot of money that
they're all playing for, presumably,

761
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:07,095
if they can just not kiss
or have sex,

762
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,415
or do any kind
of inappropriate touching,

763
00:30:09,440 --> 00:30:11,095
which, of course, is impossible,

764
00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:12,775
and that's the whole premise
of the show.

765
00:30:12,800 --> 00:30:15,055
Just watching them fail gloriously.
It's delightful.

766
00:30:15,080 --> 00:30:17,935
Have you ever done a reality show,
Lily? Would you do a reality show?

767
00:30:17,960 --> 00:30:19,895
Erm, I don't think I have.
No.

768
00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,175
I mean, you know, never say never.
Have you been asked?

769
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:23,495
Yes.
Which one?

770
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:25,175
Oh!
Er...

771
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,375
I'm A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here.

772
00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:29,295
That would be great
to see you in that.

773
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:31,855
LAUGHTER
"For everyone but me."

774
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:33,335
LAUGHTER

775
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:35,775
I bet Strictly must have asked you.
Oh, yeah.

776
00:30:35,800 --> 00:30:38,535
Er, maybe. I don't...
I can't remember.

777
00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:41,015
I just remember the money
was quite good for I'm A Celebrity.

778
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:42,775
It took quite a lot for me
to turn it down.

779
00:30:42,800 --> 00:30:45,975
Did one of your friends just go,
"You're going to eat a testicle?"

780
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,015
Ancl you were like, "OK, fine."
I don't really mind about that.

781
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:50,655
LAUGHTER

782
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:52,415
Michael, have you ever done
a reality show?

783
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:54,575
You must've been asked
to do the ones in the states.

784
00:30:54,600 --> 00:30:56,135
No. They would... No. I'm a huge...

785
00:30:56,160 --> 00:30:57,935
I'm a huge star. Why would they...?

786
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,535
LAUGHTER

787
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,975
APPLAUSE

788
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,775
Yes. Yes.
That's the best answer.

789
00:31:04,800 --> 00:31:06,575
Ed, come on,
you must have been asked.

790
00:31:06,600 --> 00:31:08,855
Yeah, I got asked to do Strictly
after... When I did...

791
00:31:08,880 --> 00:31:11,335
I learned how to dance for
the Thinking Out Loud music video.

792
00:31:11,360 --> 00:31:13,095
And then they said,
"Would you do Strictly?"

793
00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:14,335
I would actually...

794
00:31:14,360 --> 00:31:16,255
The one I would do is probably
I'm A Celebrity.

795
00:31:16,280 --> 00:31:18,415
You would do I'm A Celebrity?
It looks quite fun.

796
00:31:18,440 --> 00:31:20,015
CHEERING

797
00:31:20,040 --> 00:31:21,535
Oh, wow.
Let's do it.

798
00:31:21,560 --> 00:31:22,935
Genuinely, it looks quite fun.

799
00:31:22,960 --> 00:31:25,255
Would you do it together?
Sure.

800
00:31:25,280 --> 00:31:27,735
There are TV executives
losing their shit right now.

801
00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,335
LAUGHTER

802
00:31:29,360 --> 00:31:31,495
I do like the idea of it.

803
00:31:31,520 --> 00:31:32,815
It's a great show, and imagine,

804
00:31:32,840 --> 00:31:34,735
you get to spend a lot of time
with Matt Hancock.

805
00:31:34,760 --> 00:31:36,695
Have you seen...?
LAUGHTER

806
00:31:36,720 --> 00:31:40,375
My brother sent me
this reaction video.

807
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:43,295
There's a show on...
I think it's on TLC in America,

808
00:31:43,320 --> 00:31:48,295
and I'm not gonna say the title yet,
but it's basically ten mums. Yep.

809
00:31:48,320 --> 00:31:49,575
LAUGHTER
Know it.

810
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,455
Ancl they come onto the show,
and they're like,

811
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,735
"We're looking for love,
and we can't wait,"

812
00:31:53,760 --> 00:31:57,295
and then their sons
are the ones on the show.

813
00:31:57,320 --> 00:31:59,455
Ancl then all the sons hook up
with all the mums,

814
00:31:59,480 --> 00:32:00,815
and it's called Milf Manor,

815
00:32:00,840 --> 00:32:03,415
and it's genuinely...
AUDIENCE GROANS

816
00:32:03,440 --> 00:32:05,735
...this is on TV.
You can watch it on normal TV.

817
00:32:05,760 --> 00:32:07,215
It's mad, isn't it?

818
00:32:07,240 --> 00:32:08,695
Have you watched it?
It's huge.

819
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:09,775
It's amazing.

820
00:32:09,800 --> 00:32:12,095
'W35 gonna 53V, YOU guys are pretty
Judgy Mcjudgerson.

821
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:14,295
I've seen some of the shit
you've got on television.

822
00:32:14,320 --> 00:32:16,215
LAUGHTER
Naked Attraction.

823
00:32:16,240 --> 00:32:17,855
Naked Attraction, I couldn't...

824
00:32:17,880 --> 00:32:21,015
LAUGHTER
What I love about Naked Attraction

825
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:23,295
is at the end, they're like,
"So, what do you do?"

826
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:25,495
And they're like,
"Yeah, I teach in a primary school."

827
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,375
LAUGHTER

828
00:32:27,400 --> 00:32:30,215
Well, I can reveal here

829
00:32:30,240 --> 00:32:32,375
Michael Buble has agreed
to do Naked Attraction.

830
00:32:32,400 --> 00:32:34,535
LAUGHTER

831
00:32:34,560 --> 00:32:36,095
We're gonna see that happening.

832
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:37,895
Can you imagine?
There will be one clay

833
00:32:37,920 --> 00:32:40,415
a Celebrity Naked Attraction.
There just will be.

834
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:42,575
How bad would it be
if you got eliminated,

835
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:44,375
like, second, you know what I mean?

836
00:32:44,400 --> 00:32:47,455
Ancl it's like,
"Oh, and it's Michael Buble."

837
00:32:47,480 --> 00:32:49,415
They nickname you Tiny Bubbles
or something.

838
00:32:49,440 --> 00:32:52,255
LAUGHTER

839
00:32:52,280 --> 00:32:53,535
Would be terrible.

840
00:32:53,560 --> 00:32:55,775
I want you guys to stay,
we're gonna carry on chatting.

841
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,335
We're gonna send Ed to get ready
for his performance.

842
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:00,335
Ed, thank you so much
for joining us on the couch.

843
00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:03,375
We'll see you in a few minutes.
Ed Sheeran, ladies and gentlemen.

844
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:07,135
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

845
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,455
He'll be singing
at the end of the show. OK.

846
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:12,815
He is really eager
to get to Milf Manor.

847
00:33:12,840 --> 00:33:15,255
LAUGHTER
Milf Manor does sound incredible.

848
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,175
Well, while we're on the subject
of TV,

849
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:20,175
I want to recommend a great new show
that hasn't started yet,

850
00:33:20,200 --> 00:33:23,255
and I have been lucky enough to be
sent advance copies of all of them,

851
00:33:23,280 --> 00:33:26,455
which is starring Lily Allen,
and it is called Dreamland.

852
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:28,935
Lily, congratulations.
Set up the premise.

853
00:33:28,960 --> 00:33:31,175
What is Dreamland about
for those who haven't seen it?

854
00:33:31,200 --> 00:33:33,255
Cos only I am ahead of the game.

855
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,335
It's a sort of six-part series
for Sky.

856
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:40,615
And it is about
a sort of dysfunctional family

857
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,215
of predominantly women,

858
00:33:42,240 --> 00:33:46,135
I think there's four sisters,
a mum and a grandma,

859
00:33:46,160 --> 00:33:47,655
and one of them is pregnant,

860
00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,855
and then another one finds out
that she's pregnant,

861
00:33:49,880 --> 00:33:53,015
and there's a sort of twist
about the two pregnancies,

862
00:33:53,040 --> 00:33:55,815
and, yeah, chaos ensues.

863
00:33:55,840 --> 00:33:58,535
I haven't got to the twist yet.
I didn't know there was a twist.

864
00:33:58,560 --> 00:34:01,135
What do you mean? You told me
you watched the whole thing.

865
00:34:01,160 --> 00:34:03,575
No, I said I've GOT all the thing.
I watched the first two.

866
00:34:03,600 --> 00:34:07,135
Oh, OK.
Thanks for spoiling it for me (!)

867
00:34:07,160 --> 00:34:09,455
I just said there is a twist.
OK, there's a twist.

868
00:34:09,480 --> 00:34:11,615
Of course there's a twist.
There's six episodes.

869
00:34:11,640 --> 00:34:12,815
They're just like,

870
00:34:12,840 --> 00:34:15,655
"And everybody got along
and hugged each other, the end."

871
00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:18,375
Well...
No, it gets very, very dark.

872
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:19,975
Well, you know, it's very funny,

873
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:22,335
the characters are great
cos initially, your character,

874
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,815
she's a bit of a nuisance,
isn't she?

875
00:34:23,840 --> 00:34:25,775
Yes, it was very hard for me
to tap into that.

876
00:34:25,800 --> 00:34:28,335
LAUGHTER
We'll show you a clip.

877
00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,655
This is Dreamland, it starts
Thursday on Sky Atlantic and Now.

878
00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,735
Come on, girls. Chop chop.

879
00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:36,055
CHEERING
Where am I?

880
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:38,735
You're in Margate, babes.

881
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:39,975
Ma rgate!

882
00:34:42,960 --> 00:34:44,295
Out of the way!

883
00:34:45,760 --> 00:34:47,335
Hi.

884
00:34:47,360 --> 00:34:49,055
Mel!

885
00:34:52,160 --> 00:34:54,255
Can you take your shoes off, please?
They look manky.

886
00:34:56,080 --> 00:35:00,255
None of you want me here.
I don't understand why you're back.

887
00:35:00,280 --> 00:35:01,295
Are you all right?

888
00:35:01,320 --> 00:35:02,495
There's a baby in there.

889
00:35:02,520 --> 00:35:03,575
A what?

890
00:35:03,600 --> 00:35:04,935
What am I gonna do?

891
00:35:06,440 --> 00:35:09,415
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

892
00:35:09,440 --> 00:35:10,455
Great fun.

893
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:11,775
It zips along.

894
00:35:12,760 --> 00:35:14,055
OK, Desiree.

895
00:35:14,080 --> 00:35:16,575
Here's an interesting thing
about Desiree you might not know.

896
00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:18,255
You're an officially
ordained minister.

897
00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:19,775
I am, yes.

898
00:35:19,800 --> 00:35:22,415
You can, and I believe you have,
conducted marriage ceremonies.

899
00:35:22,440 --> 00:35:24,895
I have, I have married
five separate couples. Wow.

900
00:35:24,920 --> 00:35:27,135
These are my friends
Jake and Rafael a.

901
00:35:27,160 --> 00:35:29,455
Nice.
I did that in 2021.

902
00:35:29,480 --> 00:35:30,855
So, that was my most recent one.

903
00:35:30,880 --> 00:35:34,895
But, yeah, it's amazing to go
and sign the big book at City Hall

904
00:35:34,920 --> 00:35:38,095
and see all these cute couples
in, like, New York Knicks hats,

905
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:40,855
like, getting married with their...
It's just the sweetest thing.

906
00:35:40,880 --> 00:35:42,335
It sounds delightful.
Yeah.

907
00:35:42,360 --> 00:35:44,295
It's wonderful to be a part
of somebody's...

908
00:35:44,320 --> 00:35:46,015
Someone's fabric,
their glue, you know.

909
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:48,415
When did you get married?
When did you get married to David?

910
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:50,895
It was...
Vegas in...

911
00:35:50,920 --> 00:35:53,695
SHE LAUGHS
Er...

912
00:35:53,720 --> 00:35:55,655
I think three years ago.
It's been a blur...

913
00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:58,215
We'll have been married
three years this year.

914
00:35:58,240 --> 00:36:00,735
So, a Vegas wedding.
What was your Vegas wedding like?

915
00:36:00,760 --> 00:36:03,335
Er... I mean, quite traditional,
I think,

916
00:36:03,360 --> 00:36:06,295
in the sense that it was, yeah,
an Elvis married us.

917
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:09,735
Perfect.
LAUGHTER

918
00:36:09,760 --> 00:36:12,015
Did you say, "I do," or...
ELVIS VOICE: .."Uh-huh"?

919
00:36:12,040 --> 00:36:13,655
LAUGHTER

920
00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,055
Desiree, what are you doing next?

921
00:36:15,080 --> 00:36:17,335
You're still doing the voice-over
for Too Hot To Handle.

922
00:36:17,360 --> 00:36:19,095
Yes, yes.
You're touring, is that right?

923
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,935
Right now, I'm at home with my man,
having a good time.

924
00:36:22,960 --> 00:36:26,255
"What's up with you?" I'm like,
I'm being in love and enjoying it.

925
00:36:26,280 --> 00:36:28,175
It's great.
APPLAUSE

926
00:36:28,200 --> 00:36:30,415
I'm really pleased to hear that.
Thank you.

927
00:36:30,440 --> 00:36:32,615
OK, we're gonna take a break,

928
00:36:32,640 --> 00:36:34,495
but don't go away
because afterwards,

929
00:36:34,520 --> 00:36:36,735
Ed Sheeran will be performing
right here in the studio,

930
00:36:36,760 --> 00:36:39,375
and I will be talking
to Russell Crowe in Australia.

931
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:41,735
APPLAUSE

932
00:36:47,760 --> 00:36:50,135
APPLAUSE

933
00:36:52,760 --> 00:36:54,975
Welcome back to the show.

934
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:57,455
Before we meet my next guest,
we're going to go to Australia,

935
00:36:57,480 --> 00:36:59,135
which, of course,
is where he is right now,

936
00:36:59,160 --> 00:37:01,055
you must have toured Australia.

937
00:37:01,080 --> 00:37:02,495
You've been to Australia, Lily?

938
00:37:02,520 --> 00:37:04,855
Yeah, I go to Australia quite a lot.
Why do you go so often?

939
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:07,615
It's my second biggest territory
after the UK in singing.

940
00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,655
Although, last time I went there,
something...

941
00:37:10,680 --> 00:37:13,295
Well, I was walking
down the street after a gig

942
00:37:13,320 --> 00:37:16,295
about three o'clock in the morning,
and I was with a friend of mine,

943
00:37:16,320 --> 00:37:20,015
and some really drunk girl
came up to me, and she went...

944
00:37:20,040 --> 00:37:23,455
IN AUSTRALIAN ACCENT: .."You look
really like Lily Allen, no of fence."

945
00:37:23,480 --> 00:37:26,975
LAUGHTER

946
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:28,095
DESIREE: Aw...

947
00:37:28,120 --> 00:37:30,895
So, let's go over now to our friend.
He's at home in Australia.

948
00:37:30,920 --> 00:37:33,655
It's very early in the morning,
so we appreciate him making time.

949
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:36,575
It is, of course, Mr Russell Crowe,
ladies and gentlemen.

950
00:37:36,600 --> 00:37:40,215
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Hi, Russell. How you doing? Morning.

951
00:37:40,240 --> 00:37:43,375
Presumably, where you are,
there must be, as the sun rises,

952
00:37:43,400 --> 00:37:46,615
there'll be wildlife. Will you hear
the call of the kangaroo? Yeah, man.

953
00:37:46,640 --> 00:37:48,935
"The call of the kangaroo."

954
00:37:48,960 --> 00:37:51,895
No, there's a lot of wallabies
around here that live in the trees.

955
00:37:51,920 --> 00:37:55,655
Kangaroos actually prefer sort of
big, open grassy plains,

956
00:37:55,680 --> 00:38:00,495
but here, this morning, there'll be
sulphur-crested cockatoos,

957
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:03,855
yellow-tailed black cockatoos,
parakeets, rosellas,

958
00:38:03,880 --> 00:38:06,255
king parrots, kookaburra, of course.

959
00:38:06,280 --> 00:38:09,255
Just... It'll go off in a minute.
Wow!

960
00:38:09,280 --> 00:38:11,775
Next time, we should join you
so we can hear the birds.

961
00:38:11,800 --> 00:38:13,535
LAUGHTER

962
00:38:13,560 --> 00:38:16,455
Well, we could have set it up
outside and watched the sun come up.

963
00:38:16,480 --> 00:38:19,695
No. Too late now. Next time,
will you suggest that, please?

964
00:38:19,720 --> 00:38:21,935
LAUGHTER
Well, I would have thought,

965
00:38:21,960 --> 00:38:25,935
you know, you would have come up
with that idea yourself, but...

966
00:38:25,960 --> 00:38:29,335
You wanted soundproofing,
nice lighting,

967
00:38:29,360 --> 00:38:30,935
a slight religious touch there.

968
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:32,935
LAUGHTER

969
00:38:32,960 --> 00:38:35,775
OK, I was specific. We've clone
the work for you, Jonathan.

970
00:38:35,800 --> 00:38:37,975
Yes, thank you, Russell.

971
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:40,255
I know I think I know
quite a lot about Russell Crowe.

972
00:38:40,280 --> 00:38:42,055
I've been a fan for years,
ever since I saw him

973
00:38:42,080 --> 00:38:45,495
in a film called Romper Stomper,
very early in his career.

974
00:38:45,520 --> 00:38:47,895
But I didn't know this about you.
Is this true,

975
00:38:47,920 --> 00:38:52,455
that you have a collection
of Royal Coronation teacups?

976
00:38:52,480 --> 00:38:54,615
I do.
LAUGHTER

977
00:38:54,640 --> 00:38:56,295
And will you buy...?

978
00:38:56,320 --> 00:38:59,655
I collect stuff, man. It's not
the biggest of a thing, you know...

979
00:38:59,680 --> 00:39:02,175
I've got paintings
and lots of things.

980
00:39:02,200 --> 00:39:05,895
I just... For whatever reason,
it's just a part of my DNA.

981
00:39:05,920 --> 00:39:07,895
I like to hunt around
and look for things

982
00:39:07,920 --> 00:39:10,135
and put collections together,
I don't why.

983
00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:12,495
Russell, I imagine
they're for display rather than use

984
00:39:12,520 --> 00:39:15,015
because as you waved your hands,
I noticed your fingers are...

985
00:39:15,040 --> 00:39:18,335
I would describe them as chunky,
so I imagine...

986
00:39:18,360 --> 00:39:20,015
DESIREE: They're big-boned.

987
00:39:20,040 --> 00:39:24,415
All the better to smack your chops
with Jonny, so be careful, son.

988
00:39:24,440 --> 00:39:27,575
Don't get all Maximus on me.
All right? I'm just chatting.

989
00:39:27,600 --> 00:39:31,135
It wouldn't take Maximus
to deal with you, Jonathan Ross.

990
00:39:31,160 --> 00:39:32,975
LAUGHTER

991
00:39:33,000 --> 00:39:34,935
Russell has a new film out,
ladies and gentlemen.

992
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:36,295
Always a cause for celebration.

993
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:39,375
This time,
it's called The Pope's Exorcist.

994
00:39:39,400 --> 00:39:41,175
I saw it, I loved it.
It's a great...

995
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,535
It's a horror film
with a real kind of depth to it,

996
00:39:43,560 --> 00:39:46,175
When you hear the title, you think
it sounds like a wild premise,

997
00:39:46,200 --> 00:39:48,975
but it's based somewhat on truth,
isn't it?

998
00:39:49,000 --> 00:39:51,215
There was a man
who actually held that position.

999
00:39:51,240 --> 00:39:56,495
Well, yeah, the job was called
Chief Exorcist for the Vatican,

1000
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:58,775
and when I first read that
in the script, I just thought,

1001
00:39:58,800 --> 00:40:02,335
you know, some Hollywood writer
had come up with a snappy job title,

1002
00:40:02,360 --> 00:40:03,575
and I thought "That's cool,"

1003
00:40:03,600 --> 00:40:05,895
but then when I looked into it,
it's actually a real thing,

1004
00:40:05,920 --> 00:40:07,975
and this fella, Gabriele Amorth,

1005
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:10,895
you know,
he was in that job for 36 years.

1006
00:40:10,920 --> 00:40:12,535
OK, let's have a look at the clip.

1007
00:40:12,560 --> 00:40:14,215
As I said,
this is The Pope's Exorcist.

1008
00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:16,215
It's great fun, very exciting,

1009
00:40:16,240 --> 00:40:18,215
and at times,
scary supernatural thriller.

1010
00:40:18,240 --> 00:40:21,415
It's out in cinemas on the
7th of April. Take a look at this.

1011
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,175
Take caution.
There are secrets buried there.

1012
00:40:28,520 --> 00:40:29,895
It's the Vatican seal.

1013
00:40:31,320 --> 00:40:33,495
The church has fought against
this demon before.

1014
00:40:34,920 --> 00:40:39,335
The Vatican covered it up.
We need to find out why.

1015
00:40:39,360 --> 00:40:42,095
DEMONIC VOICE: You've been played.
You took the bait.

1016
00:40:43,240 --> 00:40:47,255
Whatever you do,
you only do because God allows it.

1017
00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:49,975
SCREAMING

1018
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:52,815
CHOKING

1019
00:40:52,840 --> 00:40:53,975
Did he allow that?

1020
00:40:55,880 --> 00:40:57,855
Imagine what could happen

1021
00:40:57,880 --> 00:41:01,055
if the devil possessed the soul
of the Pope's exorcist.

1022
00:41:01,080 --> 00:41:03,295
Who will defend you?

1023
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:09,295
There you go.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1024
00:41:09,320 --> 00:41:12,535
Russell Crowe,
starring in The Pope's Exorcist.

1025
00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:15,535
In cinemas everywhere
from the 7th of April.

1026
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:17,575
Russell,
we've got Ed Sheeran on the show.

1027
00:41:17,600 --> 00:41:19,455
He's gone backstage,
he'll be performing.

1028
00:41:19,480 --> 00:41:21,775
But you met up with him recently,
didn't you?

1029
00:41:21,800 --> 00:41:22,895
Yes, well, you know,

1030
00:41:22,920 --> 00:41:26,415
me and Teddy boy have known
each other for a while now,

1031
00:41:26,440 --> 00:41:30,215
and recently had the great fun
of being able to catch up.

1032
00:41:30,240 --> 00:41:34,055
I was shooting in Melbourne,
and he was in Melbourne.

1033
00:41:34,080 --> 00:41:36,295
He had a Saturday night off, right?

1034
00:41:36,320 --> 00:41:41,175
Very rare, as Michael'll attest,
in the business of being a singer,

1035
00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:43,015
you get a Saturday night off
on tour.

1036
00:41:43,040 --> 00:41:47,215
So, Ed and I, as you do,
went to see Snoop Dogg, and...

1037
00:41:47,240 --> 00:41:49,215
LAUGHTER

1038
00:41:49,240 --> 00:41:51,175
...took my 16-year-old son,

1039
00:41:51,200 --> 00:41:54,175
and that just gave me
massive Dad points,

1040
00:41:54,200 --> 00:41:59,415
and we hung out backstage
with Mr Dogg

1041
00:41:59,440 --> 00:42:01,215
and had a great deal of fun.

1042
00:42:01,240 --> 00:42:04,775
He's a very cool man. I've known him
for a couple of decades now,

1043
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,775
and so I had a really nice little
catch-up with Ed lately, recently.

1044
00:42:08,800 --> 00:42:10,695
I'm sure you enjoyed the music,
seeing Mr Dogg.

1045
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:13,535
Did you enjoy the herbs?
LAUGHTER

1046
00:42:13,560 --> 00:42:17,055
Well, I always enjoy, uh,
Snoop's company, and...

1047
00:42:17,080 --> 00:42:21,055
LAUGHTER

1048
00:42:21,080 --> 00:42:23,215
...he is a very, very, pleasant
conversationalist,

1049
00:42:23,240 --> 00:42:25,455
and he's a good family man.

1050
00:42:25,480 --> 00:42:27,455
LAUGHTER
I'm sure he is.

1051
00:42:27,480 --> 00:42:31,375
That's the most elegant answer
I think I've seen anyone give.

1052
00:42:31,400 --> 00:42:34,055
There have been... There's been talk
about Ridley Scott

1053
00:42:34,080 --> 00:42:36,295
returning to the world of Gladiator
with Gladiator 2.

1054
00:42:36,320 --> 00:42:39,375
I don't want to spoil it for people,
but the end of the first movie,

1055
00:42:39,400 --> 00:42:41,895
which was a magnificent piece
of cinema, of course,

1056
00:42:41,920 --> 00:42:44,495
makes it somewhat difficult
for you to be back as Maximus.

1057
00:42:44,520 --> 00:42:45,575
LAUGHTER

1058
00:42:45,600 --> 00:42:47,735
But, in the world of cinema
and fictional characters,

1059
00:42:47,760 --> 00:42:49,015
not entirely impossible.

1060
00:42:49,040 --> 00:42:51,295
Your name has been mentioned.
I read a few things.

1061
00:42:51,320 --> 00:42:53,255
Have they approached you?
Do you know anything?

1062
00:42:53,280 --> 00:42:55,215
Are you going to be in
Gladiator 2?

1063
00:42:55,240 --> 00:42:58,775
Look, I've had a couple of dinners
and stuff with Ridley

1064
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:01,055
since he embarked on this,
and, you know,

1065
00:43:01,080 --> 00:43:03,015
we don't really talk about...

1066
00:43:03,040 --> 00:43:05,375
We haven't really talked about
what it is that he's doing,

1067
00:43:05,400 --> 00:43:06,815
but, no, I'm not involved.

1068
00:43:06,840 --> 00:43:10,335
Maximus has departed the world.

1069
00:43:10,360 --> 00:43:13,695
I mean, I'm sad to hear that, but
in a way, I love the film so much,

1070
00:43:13,720 --> 00:43:16,495
it would be something of a cheat if
they brought him back, wouldn't it?

1071
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:18,935
So it kinda makes that piece of work
stay solid.

1072
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:22,375
Yeah, well when we first made it,
because it was so successful,

1073
00:43:22,400 --> 00:43:26,855
there was a whole bunch of
enthusiasm about us doing a sequel,

1074
00:43:26,880 --> 00:43:29,055
you know, and one guy actually
called me and said...

1075
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,895
IN AMERICAN ACCENT:
.."I got it, got the idea.

1076
00:43:30,920 --> 00:43:34,495
"OK, so, here's what happens,
you know.

1077
00:43:34,520 --> 00:43:38,855
"New movie opens, OK?
Couple of clays have gone past,

1078
00:43:38,880 --> 00:43:42,015
"maybe three clays have gone past,
right?

1079
00:43:42,040 --> 00:43:45,295
"Juba and a bunch of other,
like, gladiator guys,

1080
00:43:45,320 --> 00:43:48,175
"they go up to this big rock,
they grab this rock,

1081
00:43:48,200 --> 00:43:49,695
"and they just pull this rock,

1082
00:43:49,720 --> 00:43:52,495
"they open this rock,
and there you are!

1083
00:43:52,520 --> 00:43:54,455
"You know, you've had herbs
and shit put on you,

1084
00:43:54,480 --> 00:43:57,095
"you're coming out of the cave,
and you're OK!"

1085
00:43:57,120 --> 00:43:59,295
LAUGHTER

1086
00:43:59,320 --> 00:44:00,655
Ancl I said to the bloke, I said,

1087
00:44:00,680 --> 00:44:02,855
"I'm not sure you can get
the rights for that book, son."

1088
00:44:02,880 --> 00:44:04,815
LAUGHTER

1089
00:44:04,840 --> 00:44:08,335
Russell, it's always a pleasure
to spend time in your company,

1090
00:44:08,360 --> 00:44:10,775
even remotely. Thank you so much
for talking to us today.

1091
00:44:10,800 --> 00:44:13,215
Lovely to see you.
Russell Crowe, ladies and gentlemen!

1092
00:44:13,240 --> 00:44:16,975
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Cheers, Jonathan.

1093
00:44:17,000 --> 00:44:18,895
CROWD WH ISTLES

1094
00:44:20,840 --> 00:44:23,575
Russell is lovely, isn't he?
Yes. Yeah.

1095
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:25,495
Before we move on to Ed,
I want to ask one thing

1096
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:27,695
because we've been talking a lot
about families,

1097
00:44:27,720 --> 00:44:30,855
and I know I was talking to you
backstage about your son.

1098
00:44:30,880 --> 00:44:33,855
I think it's your elder son.
ls Noah your elder son? Yes, sir.

1099
00:44:33,880 --> 00:44:35,375
You were telling me
about some music,

1100
00:44:35,400 --> 00:44:38,255
and you said you'd share clip
with us which we can show of him...

1101
00:44:38,280 --> 00:44:40,815
He'd learnt to play one
of your songs while you were away?

1102
00:44:40,840 --> 00:44:42,535
I came back from the tour,
and my wife said,

1103
00:44:42,560 --> 00:44:46,295
"Babe, wait till you see this,"
and I said, "OK, go ahead. What?"

1104
00:44:46,320 --> 00:44:49,135
She says, "Stand by the piano
and watch what he does,"

1105
00:44:49,160 --> 00:44:50,215
and this is what he did.

1106
00:44:50,240 --> 00:44:53,735
And, by the way,
I am genuinely in deep shock.

1107
00:44:53,760 --> 00:44:55,975
So, you came back, this was
a surprise? You didn't know.

1108
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,255
Coming home from tour.

1109
00:44:57,280 --> 00:44:59,575
Have a look, this is rather lovely.
You'll enjoy this.

1110
00:44:59,600 --> 00:45:02,615
PIANO PLAYING

1111
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:05,815
# And every time
My hand reaches for yours... #

1112
00:45:05,840 --> 00:45:07,575
Dude!

1113
00:45:07,600 --> 00:45:11,375
# I feel the hesitation

1114
00:45:11,400 --> 00:45:15,415
# I'm sure that you're not sure

1115
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:18,695
# Every time your lips
Are kissing mine... #

1116
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:24,335
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1117
00:45:24,360 --> 00:45:28,655
That's so special. How lovely.

1118
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:31,215
What a lovely young man.

1119
00:45:31,240 --> 00:45:34,415
You know, it's emotional for me
because that kid is my hero,

1120
00:45:34,440 --> 00:45:37,575
and we've been through a lot,
and more than that, I just...

1121
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:41,175
I'm just so glad
that I don't wear shorts like that.

1122
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:43,855
LAUGHTER

1123
00:45:43,880 --> 00:45:46,215
Well, I think on that note,
we're going to wrap up the show.

1124
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:48,655
Will you join me in saying thank you
to all my guests tonight.

1125
00:45:48,680 --> 00:45:51,455
Thank you to Michael Buble,
the fabulous Lily Allen,

1126
00:45:51,480 --> 00:45:53,895
Desiree Burch, Mr Russell Crowe,

1127
00:45:53,920 --> 00:45:57,375
and, of course, the young man
who's gonna sing for us in a minute,

1128
00:45:57,400 --> 00:45:59,135
Ed Sheeran.

1129
00:45:59,160 --> 00:46:00,695
We will be back next week.

1130
00:46:00,720 --> 00:46:02,975
On the program me,
john Legend will be here,

1131
00:46:03,000 --> 00:46:06,375
Jeff Goldblum, Shirley Ballas,
jack Whitehall and Lee Mack.

1132
00:46:06,400 --> 00:46:10,135
But now, with Eyes Closed,
it is the phenomenal Ed Sheeran!

1133
00:46:10,160 --> 00:46:12,655
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1134
00:46:14,400 --> 00:46:18,175
MUSIC: 'Eyes Closed'
by Ed Sheeran

1135
00:46:24,040 --> 00:46:25,775
# Know it's a bad idea

1136
00:46:25,800 --> 00:46:28,055
# But how can I help myself?

1137
00:46:28,080 --> 00:46:30,255
# Inside for most this year

1138
00:46:30,280 --> 00:46:33,015
# Ancl I thought a few drinks
They might help

1139
00:46:33,040 --> 00:46:35,055
# It's been a while, my clear

1140
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,015
# Dealing with the cards life dealt

1141
00:46:37,040 --> 00:46:39,215
# I'm still holding back these tears

1142
00:46:39,240 --> 00:46:41,415
# While my friends
Are somewhere else

1143
00:46:41,440 --> 00:46:44,615
# I pictured this year
A little bit different

1144
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,415
# When it hit February

1145
00:46:46,440 --> 00:46:48,575
# I step in the bar
It hit me so hard

1146
00:46:48,600 --> 00:46:50,855
# Oh, how can it be this heavy?

1147
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:53,295
# Every song reminds me you're gone

1148
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:56,255
# Ancl I feel the lump form
In my throat

1149
00:46:56,280 --> 00:46:57,975
# Cos I'm here alone

1150
00:46:58,000 --> 00:47:01,215
# just dancing with my eyes closed
