CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you.
Thank you very much. You're very kind.
What a lovely welcome.
Thank you very much for coming to see the show,
and thank you at home for joining us.
Good evening, everyone, and welcome to The Jonathan Ross Show.
And we have got a great programme lined up for you tonight.
Let's have a look at who's in my green room.
First up, a brilliant actor whose break-out role in Stranger Things
turned her into a global superstar.
It's the fabulous Millie Bobby Brown.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Lovely to see you again.
Chatting and performing together on the show,
we have one of the greatest rock-and-roll front men
and one of the greatest rock-and-roll guitarists
this country's ever produced. It's Liam Gallagher and John Squire.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Ready to go, ready to rock.
With them, a brilliant live comedian
who's always an amazing guest on the show. I'm thrilled he's back.
It is, of course, the very funny Mr Rob Beckett.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello, Rob.
And we've got more.
With them, a teenager who has taken the world of darts by storm.
WHOOPING Oh, yes.
LAUGHTER He is the Wayne Rooney of the oche.
LAUGHTER
It's Luke "The Nuke" Littler!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And this is exciting. This is Luke's first-ever talk show,
so I'm very excited he's chosen us. AUDIENCE:Aw!
Finally, though, I'm so excited about this.
My next guest swept the board at last week's Brits
with a record-breaking six wins. She's a brilliant singer-songwriter.
She'll be chatting and performing at the end of the show.
You know who I'm gonna say. It is the fabulous Raye.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Hello, Raye.
CHEERING DROWNS SPEECH
On tonight's show, we've got two of the biggest stars
to come out of Manchester, as you know. So, in their honour,
I am thrilled to announce that scientists have discovered
the world's very first Manchester goose.
LAUGHTER
I sense some nerves from the audience.
If you're wondering what a Manchester goose looks like...
LAUGHTER
..take a look at this clip and see if you can spot
the Manchester goose among the other birds.
# You gotta roll with it
# You gotta take your time
# You gotta say what you say... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Not having it.
LAUGHTER
Liam... I think he's admired your work, Liam.
I'm not having it, man.
He's got Southern written all over it, that one.
OK, we've got a packed show, so let's get my first guests out.
Will you go crazy, please, for Rob Beckett, John Squire
and Liam Gallagher.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
CHEERING DROWNS SPEECH
Great to have you two back on the show.
John, your first time on the show. Thank you for joining us.
Here's the album. And the exciting news is...
You must be thrilled. ..it's just gone to number one.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Congratulations.
So, how did it come about? How did you two start working together?
What was the beginning of this partnership?
Done Knebworth. John come down to play on one of the tunes at the end,
so in the rehearsals leading up to it,
I hadn't seen him for ages, sort of said, "What you been up to?"
He said, "I've been writing some tunes." So, he was singing them
and he went, "Well, you wanna...?" Wow.
And I was gonna have a year off and that, you know what I mean?
So, it's his fault.
So, you'd been writing with his voice in mind?
Um, not until Knebworth rehearsal.
So, who was your first choice?
LAUGHTER
So, how do you write, then?
He was looking... You looking out for a girl, weren't you?
Yeah. Ended up with this.
I need new management.
And were you always on the same page?
Did you have something in mind from Liam, and did he always...?
Did it always gel?
I don't know, man. What do you mean?
LAUGHTER Well...
This is where you're gonna have a pop, aren't you? No!
No. Go on.
Relax. Just relax. I'm not your brother, all right? Just relax.
LAUGHTER AND APPLAUSE
Rob, have you ever seen these guys live?Unbelievable!
I feel like I'm dressed like their manager, sat here, though.
Just like the annoying new one.
You're like our tour magician. Yeah.
No, I was at Knebworth. It was unbelievable.
It was amazing, so I'm buzzing for the new live tour.
You start next week with the tour? Yeah.
Can't wait. It was unbelievable.
Knebworth was amazing, so, yeah, it's great.
Especially, as well... And I don't wanna kiss your arse too much,
but it's very exciting for me to be on the sofa with you two.
Your music, when you're a working-class kid,
hearing these songs, it's magical.
It makes you feel like you can go off and do things.
I think Kevin Bridges has spoke about it before.
A lot of young working-class people have been influenced by the lyrics,
and also watching people go and dominate the world with their music.
It's really inspiring and I loved it.
And to see it live was, like, quite a magical moment.
I think the lyrics and the attitude that particularly you had
when you started out, was that kind of, like,
you were doing it on your terms, which was refreshing.
I was inspired by John's band.
He was the first band I ever went to see, the Roses.
How old were you when you saw The Stone Roses?
15, 16. And that was it, changed my life.
And I thought, "You know what? That's it."
Did you know...? When Oasis happened,
did you know that you'd helped create this band, John?
I found out much later.
LAUGHTER
Obviously meant quite a lot to you.
LAUGHTER
So, John, you live now... Is it you live on a farm
or you have a farm? Is that right? I live on one, yeah.
OK. Is it a working farm? Do you actually do farming on it
or you've got the space of a farm?
No, there's some sheep there, but I'm hands-off.
LAUGHTER
You've gotta be two hands on a sheep.
Here's what I'm really interested about you two, in particular.
And you've both been through a similar thing,
which is, you were both part of very, very successful bands,
very important bands, and it's kind of, I imagine,
a huge life experience to go through that.
To create something, and then, to put it out in the world,
it becomes a big success.
And then, both of you, the bands ended for both of you.
When The Stone Roses was kaput and you left what was left of them,
what was your kind of... the first few months like for you?
Um... I think I...
carried on writing songs,
eventually got another band together,
The Seahorses. Then, I had loads of kids.
LAUGHTER
A very productive way to spend the energy.
Liam, for you, when Oasis...? I just went down the pub.
LAUGHTER
But longer-term than that first evening or the first week?
Cos something...
I had a lock-in in the pub. Yeah.
Stretched it out. There's a track on the album...
I like the whole album, the whole album's great, and congratulations.
But the last track on the album, is it Mother Nature's Song?
Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Which is about, I guess, reconnecting to nature?
Is that something you've been through?
I'm digging it, me, man. As you get older,
I like walking the dog and that round the woods.
It's nice, man. I'm the new Goldilocks.
LAUGHTER
And, John, let me ask you about animals,
because I know you've got some sheep...
Mm-hmm.
Do you have any pets? Or are the sheep pets?
Or do you have dogs, that kind of thing?
I've got a dog and cat.
Dog and a cat. Mm-hmm.
LAUGHTER
Do you have dogs? I've got nothing to contribute.
LAUGHTER
I'm joking! No, I've got... No, I have got two dogs
and I've got a cat, and I've moved to the country.
I grew up in the city...
You've moved to the country as well? Yeah. I don't know if...
Have you always been on the farm?
No. No, I dunno about you,
but I was quite shocked with how many animals there are.
I always knew there were animals,
but it seems like there's slightly too many.
What, you mean the quantity or the variety of animals?
Both. I've seen them all. I've seen pheasant, partridge, deer, badger.
I ain't seen a fox. Wow!
They're all in Lewisham. Yeah.
I couldn't move for a fox in Lewisham.
Have you ever seen a woodpecker?
I have seen a woodpecker. They're mad, ain't they?
You've adopted a dog. Yeah.
Where did the dog...? What the dog's name?
Buttons. Buttons.
Don't be laughing, man.
Buttons is a perfectly good name. Top name.
But we're all thinking of you in your hiking boots,
shouting, "Buttons" and you're Liam Gallagher.
LAUGHTER Depends, man, how I say it.
Sometimes, when there's no-one about, I say it
really in a high-pitched voice. She understands it.
But when there's a couple of people, I go deep, like Barry White.
I go, "Buttons," and she doesn't understand it,
and she's going, "What's going on here, dickhead?"
She needs the high-pitched voice.
If no-one was here and you had to call your dog, how would you do it?
Oh, it's high, man. Yeah.
Come on, let's have a listen. No, you're all right.
LAUGHTER
So, you got her from where?
Thailand. Thailand?
Yeah. How did that come about?
Cos we follow this geezer, this Irish lad who rescues them,
and they've been all battered and stuff and beat up and that.
So, we fell in love with Buttons, and then,
he flew her over from Thailand, then got her on a ferry from Amsterdam.
And she's mega. That is a well travelled dog.
Yeah, man. There's a short film,
which I believe was put together of Buttons making it over.
Look at this. She's a very sweet dog.She is, she's amazing.
# Stand by me
# Nobody knows
# The way it's gonna be
# Stand by me
# Nobody knows
# The way it's gonna be
# Stand by me... #
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's a lovely story.
Yeah, it's nice.
Buttons. But it's weird, though. Until you get a dog,
I don't think you realise how much you're gonna love that animal.
Yeah, it's terrible, man. I don't wanna go on tour no more.
I wanna stay at home with her. Can't you take Buttons with you?
Er... I doubt it. I don't know if she'd like it, man.
Especially if you got a gig in Thailand.
She might panic she's going back.
It's Glasgow, more Glasgow, innit?
Are you gonna get any more? Are you gonna get a friend for Buttons?
No, I'm gonna keep it as it is, cos she's perfect, man.
Don't wanna spoil the party, know what I mean?
Rob, I'm gonna ask you a question, and you know where I'm gonna wind up
with this question. Yeah.
You used to work with your brothers? Yes.
Where did you work? We worked in a pub together,
also Caffe Uno, a restaurant that now doesn't exist any more.
Does Caffe Uno not exist?
No, it's gone. But I've got four brothers.
Three of us worked there at this point.
I know where you're going with this, but it didn't work.
I find it difficult working with my brothers,
so I don't know how you managed for so long.
What did you find difficult about it?
You bring the dynamic from home into work,
which is another stressful place, so if you've had a row
over who ate the last bit of bread just before the shift,
and then, you're at the shift and you're nicking each other's tips,
having a row, then you go home,
and then they tell Mum what you did or what you didn't do,
it's a nightmare. So, when people go, "Why don't you get back...?"
I can probably see why. Probably a nightmare.
So, I'm gonna ask the question.
You know this question's coming, of course.
No, I don't. What's the question? The only reason I'm asking you...
I wasn't gonna ask you, but because I read recently
that you and Noel were talking again and there was a chance you might...
I haven't spoken to him. I haven't spoken to him...
I haven't spoken to him for about ten years.
Wow! 2009, I think.
AUDIENCE:Aw. Don't start that.
LAUGHTER
I think, cos people don't understand necessarily what went on
or what goes on, they feel maybe you're missing out
or maybe he's missing out. No, I'm having a great time.
Don't worry about me. All good, man.
So, that's not happening? Nah. Not this week, no.
LAUGHTER
John...
LAUGHTER
John...
LAUGHTER
John, have you got a brother? I have, yeah.
LAUGHTER
APPLAUSE
But have you ever worked with any of your family?
He's got a bit of a dry mouth through all the chatting.
LAUGHTER
Am I back on next week?
LAUGHTER
Next week, you're hosting!
John and Liam are going on tour.
Make sure you go and see them if you can. Here's the album.
It's amazing. And they're gonna perform live for us
right now in the studio. What track are you gonna do?
'Mars To Liverpool'. 'Mars To Liverpool'.
Let's hear it for John Squire and Liam Gallagher.
If you wanna head over, guys. Right.
Thank you, it's been great. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
John, I enjoyed that a lot. Thank you.
Here we go. It's time for our first performance of the night.
Playing 'Mars To Liverpool' live for the first time ever,
it's Liam Gallagher and John Squire.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
# Jesus Christ! About last night
# I can only apologise
# The thought that it was over
# Never entered my mind
# The sun is up, the skies are blue
# And I know how close we came
# This voyage of self-discovery
# Has my sails in flames
# Here comes that feeling
# Here it comes again
# I'm waiting for this storm
# To run out of rain
# Here comes that feeling
# Here it comes again
# I'm waiting for this storm
# To run out of rain
# The journey is the trip, I say
# If your travel agent's cool
# Can anybody get me
# From Mars to Liverpool?
# Here comes that feeling
# Here it comes again
# I'm waiting for this storm
# To run out of rain
# Here comes that feeling
# Here it comes again
# I'm waiting for this storm
# To run out of rain
# Here comes that feeling
# Here it comes again
# I'm waiting for this storm
# To run out of rain
# Here comes that feeling
# Here it comes again
# I'm waiting for this storm
# To run out of rain. #
Thank you!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Don't go anywhere, because up next, we'll be joined by Raye
and Millie Bobby Brown. We'll see you after the break.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to the show. Let's get my next guests out.
One is a record-breaking multiple Brit Award-winning artist.
The other is the world-conquering star of Stranger Things.
It is, of course, Raye and Millie Bobby Brown.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Raye, thank you so much for coming back.
Thank you. It's great to see you again.
APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
Mwah! Nice to see you.
I'm there and you're there. Oh, I'm here!
Come up here. Thank you both for joining us.
Let's start with Raye. Wow, what a weekend at the Brits!
Incredible! Congratulations.
Thank you. Congratulations.
Thank you.
You had a huge number of fans before, but I imagine
this has moved you into a new era in your career.
Have you noticed, are more people recognising you since then, even?
Do you know what? I went to the dentist the other day.
It's a new dentist, and I went inside,
and every single one of them was, like, "Congratulations."
And I was, like, "Oh, my gosh!" And then, I went to a restaurant
and they brought out a free tiramisu
and they wrote, "Congratulations." It had a sparkler.
You know you've made it when the free tiramisu comes out!
I was, like, "Oh, shit..." Are you allowed to swear on here? No, no.
As long as you give more than one-word answers,
everything is fine. LAUGHTER
That's what we're looking for.
So, already, you're great, OK?
I mean, I imagine you got a lot of congratulations, obviously,
from friends and family, but did anyone else reach out to you?
Did you receive messages from people maybe you didn't know before?
Do you know, I got flowers from Sir Elton John,
which was a big deal. Wow!
Big deal. He wrote me a card.
What did he say in the card? He said,
"I can't wait to tell you in person what your music means to me."
Aw.
Wow! Innit?
That's so cool. I was, like, "Oh, sugar!"
That's so nice. Yeah.
And you're a fan of his, as well, I guess.Oh, of course.
Can you imagine? "No, I think he's shit, actually,
"but a bunch of flowers is a bunch of flowers."
LAUGHTER
And I know you've been doing it for a while, but of course,
next year, we have Millie... Millie Bobby Brown,
ladies and gentlemen. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
RAYE WHOOPS
Rob, you were on the show years ago with Millie.
Yeah.
And I think it's when you were 12. Yeah.
The first series, which you know I was a huge fan of.
Everyone round the world was. We have a photograph of you
on the couch. Oh, my God!
Look at your hairstyle! I look like a human toad!
LAUGHTER I look like I'm in the show!
No, you look like you're from One Direction.
Yeah. Oh, God.
It looked like someone tried to make Niall Horan in a lab.
LAUGHTER
Oh, God, the state of me.
And I know you're back together with the Stranger Things cast,
working on the new show.Yeah. That must be like a family,
that unit, cos you all grew up together, didn't you?
Yeah, yeah, especially...
Well, yeah, I got the job when I was ten
and to be able to grow up with, I dunno, kids
that have gone through the exact same thing as you
at the exact same time, so you're able to ask them questions, like,
"Do you hate this, or do you like this?"
They know exactly what you're going through.
So, it's, like, yeah,
I dunno, it's like having a separate set of siblings
and it's very rewarding, and I feel I was really grateful to have that.
I'll ask you more about that and your new thing in a minute,
but I wanna go back to Raye, if I may,
because I wanna talk about that Brits evening.
Talk us through the night, if you can, what you remember of it,
cos it's so recent, I know. When you won the sixth award,
when you won the one for Album of the Year,
that's when you brought your grandma up on stage.Yeah, I did.
Tell us a bit about her. I couldn't owe her more.
She sacrificed everything for me.
So, to be able to bring her up onstage at that moment...
She knew what my dreams meant to me. I was ugly sobbing, like...
And I watch it back and I'm, like, "Oh, my God, Raye, get it together!"
But I'll never forget that moment.
She must have loved it, seeing you there, seeing you get those awards.
What was she saying to you on stage, when you were on stage?
Cos you were miked up. She was talking as well.
She was, like, "Calm down, Raye, calm down."
Cos I couldn't... She was, like, "Come on, calm down."
I was, like... Yeah, it was a lot, it was a lot.
It was, it really was.
I imagine you went out to celebrate afterwards.
I did, you know. To be honest, I was so overwhelmed
that I was ready to just jump straight into bed.
It was either go straight to bed or go hard, do you know what I mean?
So, we went with that option, so we had a lovely time.
I did end up in McDonald's about 6am.
Well, I mean, it's kind of... When you've been up all night,
that's all your body needs, isn't it, that sort of stuff?
That's South London, that's South London.
We have a little video of Raye.
Do we? So, this is six in the morning?
A little video, yeah. We were sent this of you at McDonald's
at six in the morning after a... let's face it, a big, big night.
Cheese. Bacon McMuffin, two eggs.
Double egg, triple hash brown.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
I mean...
A happy end to a happy evening. LAUGHTER
You know what I think everyone loved about your story,
as it became apparent to us, and obviously, you've lived it,
but it was the fact that you were winning those awards
after having had to sort of escape from a contract to a record company
that hadn't been prepared to release your solo material.
That must have felt, I would have thought,
all the sweeter because of that.
I've only had one goal in life. I just wanted to put albums out.
I wanted to be an albums artist.
That's why I signed an album deal contract.
So, I think it was a tough pill to swallow,
but everything I went through made me stronger and more resilient,
and I also don't think my music would sound the way it did
if I hadn't gone through everything I went through in life.
So, you know, you can't live on regret.
I'm just grateful, really, really grateful to be here,
to be honest, I really am, yeah. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Ah, thanks. Yeah.
Millie's back with a brand-new thing for us all,
I'm pleased to say. I know you've been looking forward to this.
I have. It's a film. Available on Netflix.
It's out right now. It's called Damsel.
Tell us about this, Millie.
So, I play a young girl from a village
who is offered the opportunity to marry a prince,
and obviously, she takes it.
But things don't seem quite right.
After the wedding, there's a strange ritual that the kingdom follows
and he does a really...
He is showing major red flags.
He throws me into a cave and I have to fight a dragon.
Yeah, not ideal. That's a very...
It's a big red... Yeah. That is...
It's definitely not the right thing to do on a first date.
LAUGHTER
So much of this film rests on you.
There's a long chunk of the film where it's just you...
Mm. ..trapped down there,
and you're occasionally fighting, interacting with the dragon.Yes.
And I know you did most, if not all, of your own stunts, is that right?
Yeah, I did all of my own stunts,
which was the most challenging part, I'd say,
because sometimes, I would fall, which is in the film.
They kept pretty much all of the things I failed on in the film.
Really?
Yeah, because they wanted it to look real.
They wanted it to look like a young girl stuck in a cave
fighting a dragon, and that's what it was, except it was in Enfield.
LAUGHTER
Not only was it in Enfield, the dragon...
This is the dragon. You're joking! You're joking!
That's not the dragon! That's the dragon!
Looks like someone trying to nick your phone.
Yeah, that's not the dragon
in the finished film, Raye. Yeah, no, it is.
It's out now on Netflix.
You can watch it. Have a look at this. This is Damsel.
I have made a match, a prince.
We need this. Your people need you.
I need you to listen to me now. I don't trust them.
They may be royalty, but that doesn't make them good people.
Your hand, child.
Close your eyes. I've got you.
It is the sacrifice we commemorate every generation,
a tradition going back centuries.
You know nothing of our story.
This is the end of your story.
MUSIC: 'Hymne A L'amour' by Edith Piaf
Looks amazing. There you go.
That's Damsel. It's out, available on Netflix now.
And, of course, Millie is amazing in it, and it's great fun.
I don't know if you know this, either of you,
but Rob's done a bit of acting as well.
Why are you laughing? LAUGHTER
Well, hold on to that.
He was in quite a big budget retelling of Cinderella recently.
What was the part you played again?
I played, like... I can't remember his name. It was some pervert bloke.
He was a baron or someone who wanted to marry one of the sisters.
Yeah, Cinderella. So, I was like an old pervert turning up at the door
with some fruit and veg. But you haven't done a lot more
since then, have you, acting? Are you trying to ruin my career?
No! No, I've done bits and bobs.
My first-ever audition was for Fresh Meat,
to play this sort of jock guy.
It's like a British sitcom that Jack Whitehall was in.
Anyway, I got the part, but that was the first time
I'd ever done any acting whatsoever, was reading that. Wow.
And I got on set and I was just shitting myself.
I didn't know what I was doing and I was supposed to be intimidating,
and cos I wasn't tall enough, they had to put my chair on blocks,
which really doesn't help. It doesn't, no.
Morale was at an all-time low. Yeah.
There was people with headsets on, going, "He's too little.
"Let's get him bigger." And I'm just, like...
LAUGHTER It's so hard, innit?
The behind-the-scenes is tough. I think I was just so nervous,
I couldn't remember any lines. OK, well, that's a problem.
OK. Cor, you've changed since you were last here!
LAUGHTER
We often ask people if they have any other talents
when they come on this show, when we talk to them before the show,
and we found out that Raye has something...
I suppose you'd call it a talent. You have the ability,
or you believe you have the ability...Oh, no!
..to drink a pint very quickly.
So, I personally think I'm really great at this,
but when you're drinking, I think you think
you're great at everything, do you know what I mean?
And you've drunk...
You downed a pint on TV a while ago, didn't you?
I was out filming in South Africa and we were at the cricket,
and I had a pint, and then, I went on the big screen.
There's me, look.
So, I was on the big screen, so I downed it,
not knowing that it was being streamed back home on Sky Sports.
And then, Lou was, like, "Oh, hard day at work?"
and then, screenshot me, like that. But if you're on the big screen
and you've got a beer, it's hard not to down it.
You've got to do it. So, you've done it just socially?
Yeah. I love games and I'm very competitive.
I'm actually really nice except when it comes to any sort of competition.
So, you wanna win? I would wanna win, yeah.
So, you reckon you could beat Millie and Rob?
If I beat you, can I have one of your Brits?
LAUGHTER No. No, you can't, mate.
Absolutely not. You can let one go. You got six.
So, let's try it, let's try it.
Let's get set up. All right.
And we'll do it when we come back. So, don't go away,
cos after the break, we'll be seeing who can drink the fastest pint.
And we've still got Luke "The Nuke" Littler to join us,
so don't go away. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to the show. I'm still here with Raye,
Millie and Rob. And before the break,
we promised you we were gonna have a kind of drink-off competition.
We're using water instead of beer.
But you haven't got a pint there, Millie. What's going on there?
I wanted to be sophisticated. So, you've gone for a martini?
Yeah. There you go.
You have to down it and eat both the olives.
All right. I feel like we should be standing up.
Yeah, let's stand. OK.
I already need a wee, though. Oh, yeah, that's gonna be a problem!
OK. All right, I'll count down.
Three, two, one, go!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Wow! Come on! Come on! Come on!
That was quick! Come on! Wow! Wow!
RAYE COUGHS Are you OK?
Yeah. Wow!
Well done. Did I win?
Congratulations. APPLAUSE DROWNS SPEECH
Fast!
You think your grandma was proud last Saturday.
Imagine how she feels tonight! OK, let's have a look at that.
We're gonna show you a replay. Oh, no!
LAUGHTER
I poured half of it down me!
No, come on, that was still legitimate.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That was impressive. Congratulations.
Thank you. Remind me never to challenge you to anything.
Here's exciting news. Millie, I hope you don't mind me
asking you about this. You're engaged to be married.
Yes! Congratulations.
Engaged to be married... APPLAUSE
..uh, to a Mr Jake Bongiovi.
Yep.
Hold it. Your husband-to-be,
Jake, is the son of Jon Bon Jovi.
Yes. Which is amazing.
Mm-hmm. Will he be singing at the wedding?
I think that he would, if I asked him,
but I truly think that he needs a break.
It doesn't matter if it is Jon Bon Jovi.
No-one wants their father-in-law singing at their wedding really.
LAUGHTER
No, sorry, I don't know who your father-in-law is,
but I would like Jon Bon Jovi...
To be fair, if Lou's dad, Mick, who worked at IBM for 35 years,
whipped out a guitar, I'd be, like, "Come on, Mick, give it to us!"
Yeah, yeah!
Millie, is it right you live...?
I was talking about... I had a very long conversation with John Squire
earlier and... What are you laughing at?
I knew he was gonna say that.
We established that he lived on a farm.Uh-huh.
And I believe you live on a farm. I do.
Where's your farm? I live on a farm in Georgia.
With animals? Yes, with lots of animals. I have...
Er, I have nine personal dogs.
Hold it. What does that mean? Like, some are shared dogs?
Well, I have 23 foster dogs.
Wow! Hold it. So, you've got 32 dogs in total?
Dogs. And then, four cats, and then, two donkeys,
two sheep, two cows,
three goats, one pony.
Wow! And this is all in just a little two-bedroom flat.
LAUGHTER
Are they, like, pet animals? Do you have names for them all?
Yes, I have names for them all.
Actually, the sheep right there, his name is Norman,
and I raised him in my bed. Wow! What does that mean?
Um, it means that he was a few days old
and I bottle-fed him
until he was full-grown, and he slept in my bed.
I woke up every four hours.
But when they sleep in the bed, do they have to wear a nappy?
Yep, he wore a nappy. Really?
I had to go and buy nappies, and then, people thought I was pregnant.
Oh, no. So, then, I had to say,
"Oh, no, it's for my sheep that sleeps in my bed."
And then, once he grew,
I had to go back and go in the adult section to get nappies.
Wow, and that's even harder to explain, isn't it?
Yeah, pricey, ain't they, Jonathan? You know fully well.
I know very well, yeah. LAUGHTER
And are you planning on expanding?
Cos, presumably, part of this... You said
some dogs were foster dogs, so you're looking after animals there?
So, I take care of dogs. I take them out of local animal controls,
and then, if they're on the euthanasia list,
if they've been dumped on the street...
We've found over 150 dogs homes. I vaccinate them myself
and microchip them myself. Hold it. When you say that,
you go in and do it yourself?
Yep. Wow, that is absolutely amazing.
That is beautiful. APPLAUSE
So, the chips you put in are to identify them if they get lost.
Exactly. Have you ever put one in a person?
Ah! I haven't, but once, I vaccinated a dog
and I poked myself after,
and I thought, "Oh, no, this is what I'm gonna die of."
Like, there's so many things you think. But do you know what?
I said to myself, I said to Jake,
"If this is the way I go, then that was meant to be."
I love that you found your peace there.
Yeah, so, I called my vet. I said,
"Does that happen to you?" He said, "It happens to me all the time.
"Your fine." I'll be fine.
The Brits, obviously, was an amazing night for you.
I was pleased you won so many,
but there was one award that I think should...
Not one of yours, but there was an award
that someone didn't get awarded, who I really felt should have done.
Everybody there was deserving. Best outfit.
Best outfit? Yeah, look at this.
LAUGHTER
Millie, that's Rob going to the Brit Awards last weekend.
Mm. Rob, explain yourself. Was that comfortable?
Do you know what? It was really comfortable
cos it's all self-inflating.
JONATHAN LAUGHS
Oh, God, it's embarrassing.
What was the inspiration behind this?
The inspiration behind this look, Raye,
six-time Brit Award winner, was, I've got a new tour called Giraffe.
LAUGHTER
The funny thing was,
there was a button you pressed that inflated it.
But I was going around and I was getting in everyone's way.
Like, you was going past, Dua Lipa was going...
Dua Lipa was, like, "Why is there a giraffe?"
LAUGHTER I've got it on and I did
all the photos and stuff like that, and then, it started
to deflate at the end. LAUGHTER
I was holding it. And then, I basically did
all the red carpet and all the photos,
took it off, put on a normal outfit, cos I was giving out an award,
and then, I just had it in a bag and shoved it under the table.
And I got to the table, and there was Ashley Walters from Top Boy,
the guy who played Bob Marley in the Bob Marley film,
there was a lady from Downton Abbey, there was Jaime Winstone,
all these sorts of people. And then, I heard them all.
Ashley Walters was going, "There was some idiot on the red carpet..."
LAUGHTER "..in, like, a giraffe outfit.
"What an attention-seeking idiot."
I just joined in, going, "Yeah, what a loser!"
LAUGHTER
So, that's your tour. The tour is called Giraffe, and when is it?
So, it's starting in November
and it goes through to the London Palladium in January, 2026.
So, that's two years? I know.
I just thought, in the current climate,
I'm thinking, if I do get cancelled, they've already bought the tickets.
Yeah. So...
If you haven't seen Rob live,
he's one of the funniest comedians working today.
But if you want a fix sooner, you've got
a new TV show that's just started. Yes, Smart TV on Sky.
That's on Thursday nights, nine o'clock.
Me, Alison Hammond, Josh Widdicombe. She's so brilliant.
She's brilliant, isn't she? She's amazing.
Josh is all right, but Alison's... LAUGHTER
This is Smart TV, his new show.
It's already started, but you can watch it every week.
It's on Sky, it's on Now, or streaming.
The letter is F and your question is...
Fart. Fleas.
That's it? No discussing?
A lot of the shows I've been on, there's lots of farts
and people have to leave.
Really? Yeah, if the catering's bad.
Alison? I'm not really a farter, to be fair.
That's not what I heard. I'm like a little princess.
Packham's reaction!
Do you fart on set?
Oh, deadly. Really?
Proper deadly, and I won't say nothing.
I'll just be hosting, and then, I'll look at Dermot and go like that.
LAUGHTER
She's so good.
That's Rob's new series, called Smart TV.
Thursday nights on Sky Max, also on Now TV.
So, Stranger Things got a look-in there.
Yeah! And it's become a real cultural touchstone.
Everyone knows it or knows of it.
There's a big show on in the West End that's doing
amazing business, I think. What can you tell us about the...?
This will be the final series. Have you finished filming it?
No. No, we have nine months left. Right.
What can you tell us about it, though?
What can you give us? A little juicy...
some little nugget, one little thing?
I really like Netflix, and I'd like to be employed by them
for a very long time.
Doesn't matter if you give a bit away, does it?
It does. You can tell us.
Because I sign a piece of paper that tells me I'm not allowed
to say anything, and I think I owe it to them to keep my mouth shut.
Fair enough. But have you seen the whole script?
Do you know how it ends? I know how my character...
what happens to my character. I haven't read the script
because they are in the process of writing them.
So they've told you where they're going with it.
I think I read up to episode six. Right.
And then, I know what happens to my character.
How many episodes will there be? Eight.
Eight, so you're nearly at the end,
but you know what happens in those final two.Yep.
So, she's all... She lives and everything?
LAUGHTER
But like I said, I like working for Netflix. I'm gonna be a good girl.
I'd quite like to work for them as well. Yeah.
Do you think you could put a word in? OK.
LAUGHTER
We're gonna take a break, ladies and gentlemen.
But don't go away because we'll be testing our darts skill
in the final part of the show against Luke Littler.
He's here. And Raye will be giving a special performance
at the end of the show. See you after the break.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Welcome back to the show.
I'm still here with Millie Bobby Brown,
we've got Raye and Rob Beckett.
But before we get my final guest out... I'm very excited he's here.
I know we all are. ..let's just take a look at him in action
at the Bahrain Masters.
'This is just a different level he has to achieve.'
'Yeah, it is, but I think he might be up to it.
'This is unbelievable!'
'Oh, and it's on! It's on!
'And the first leg of a match!
'Brilliant from Luke Littler on his World Series debut!
'He got through the game yesterday. He's played a perfect leg.
'Only the second time we've seen that on the World Series.
'Is there anything this young man can't do?'
CHEERING
That's incredible, isn't it?
Here he is. It's the amazingly talented teenager
who is changing the landscape of darts, Luke "The Nuke" Littler.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Luke, thank you so much for coming on.
This is Rob, Millie, Raye. I think you met backstage.
Hi. Hi, sweetheart.
You come and sit up here with me, Luke.
Luke, so, this is your first-ever talk show?
Yeah. Well, thank you for coming on.
We really appreciate it. That was incredible.
We just saw you throw. That's a nine-dart finish, isn't it?
Yeah. Which for people who maybe aren't
familiar with darts, that's quite an unusual thing to do,
but to do it in a big competition like that, it's amazing.
Is that the first time you've done it in competition?
Um, I think I've lost count.
How many times have you done it in competition? Wow!
Quite a few times, but that was my first televised.
Right. Luke, so, how old were you when you started playing darts?
Well, two questions. One, when you first played darts,
and when you realised that you might have a career in it,
that you could do it professionally. So, how old when you started?
I think I was about 18 months, in a nappy.
18 months?! Who got you the board? You got you your first dartboard?
I don't remember it, but my dad said we were in the pound shop
and I was in the trolley and I just picked a magnetic dartboard out,
and I just... I still think to it this day,
imagine if I didn't pick up that dartboard?
That's amazing.
That's like a moment in a movie, when the warrior is born...Yeah.
..and he reaches for the sword, even though he's a child.
LAUGHTER Luke reached for the arrows.
Imagine what else you could have got from the pound shop,
like three deodorants. LAUGHTER
It would be a very different career.
I mean, at what age do you move on
from the magnetic darts to the actual spear-ended weapons?
I think I was about four, cos there's another...
Four?!
To be fair, he's pretty accurate with them.
I know, but four? Do you want a toddler running around?
If you said to him, "Finish your greens," he goes...
You get one in your head.
OK, and so, we're all fans of yours here, we're all excited
you're on the show, but Millie, you were very excited Luke was on.
You're a big darts fan, aren't you?
Not until... Because of you.
Seriously, what you have accomplished,
it's so unbelievable to watch,
and I was just, like, "This is so cool."
I felt that same way when I watch any young person achieve
such an amazing thing for themselves.
When I was watching, we were all, like,
"Oh, my God, he's just so good!"
And I was just screaming at the screen,
so to know that I was sat on this couch with you tonight
is a huge honour. It is. Luke "The Nuke".
CHEERING
APPLAUSE
And one of the things... And it stymies me a bit,
but I know, obviously, you do it all the time.
The arithmetic involved in calculating quite quickly
how you get to the finish.
Cos you have to finish on a double, don't you?
Yeah. So, say you've got 72 left,
what are you looking for?
Usually, treble 16, which is 48, and then, 24, double 12.
So, 81 left on there, what do you go for?
57, 24.
Oh, yeah, I thought so. And then...
LAUGHTER ..113.
60, 13, tops.
Wow! So, you just know. RAYE:Wow!
Yeah, it's amazing, isn't it? APPLAUSE
Have you had any endorsements offered to you?
Have you had any product deals
since you've become the success you are now?
How would you feel about wearing a giraffe suit for the next game?
LAUGHTER
Has Iceland offered you a deal? Is that right?
They were gonna put my face on kebabs
that they were selling or something.
On the actual kebab or on the box of kebabs?
The box. On the box, yeah.The
I don't wanna be carving your face off while I'm eating a kebab.
Where do you keep all your trophies?
Cos I know you won a lot when you were younger
and, obviously, we saw you there in Bahrain,
you won that big golden palm tree from there.
Where do you keep them? Are they all at home with you?
I've got some on a table as soon as you walk through the front door,
and then, walk through the living room,
they're on the floor in the living room,
and then, I've got some in my bedroom,
and then, you lift up my bed, they're just stored under the bed.
The palm tree one's amazing. That's a nice one,
that palm tree one. A big one, too.
I swear Lou's bought that from H&M Home.
Raye, I don't know if you've found a permanent home for yours,
but where are the six Brits from this year's haul gonna live?
I'm a single girl, I've got quite a big bed now,
so maybe they could stay on my pillow for a while,
so I could wake up and look at them first thing in the morning
and just feel good, you know. But then, maybe after a couple of...
Maybe that for a day, and then I'll find a home.
Cos if you did start dating someone and they go,
"How's it going, dating Raye?"
They go, "She's got all her Brits next to her in bed."
LAUGHTER
I don't know if you saw the show earlier,
but we established that Raye is a very competitive person.
I've seen.
If I give you three darts and I give each of them three darts,
and we're looking for the highest score with the three darts,
do you think you could beat those three with their nine darts,
their total score, with your three?
Well, if they get over 180, I can't beat it, can I?
That's not what I asked you. LAUGHTER
OK, let's go and play darts. Come on over. Let's go.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, Luke "The Nuke" will throw last.
Rob's going first.
OK. CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Have you ever played darts before? Twice. Twice.
Here we go, here we go. OK, let's see what he gets here.
RAYE:Oh, wow!
That's not very good. Four.
LAUGHTER
I'm going over.
Six. Ten! RAYE:At least you hit the board!
Ooh, that's bad.
That was bad. 14.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Luke's feeling good. Who wants to go?
Come on, Millie. OK.
"Bull's-eye" Bobby Brown. Take your time, take your time.OK.
Oh! Yeah, come on.
20.
25. You're already beating his score.
And triple... What is that? Seven.
So, 46 and 14 is 60.
Wow!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
That's amazing!
Wow! Wow!
Go on, Raye. Come on, Raye. What's the technique?
"Sting Raye". Let's hear it for "Sting Raye", come on.
Three.
Oh! That's an eight.
Come on, come on.
No. That's a 12.
APPLAUSE
Rob, so far, has got the lowest score.
Yeah. OK.
OK, so, is that 84 you need?
83. 83.
Behave! So, he requires...
But I said you require 84. You gotta beat them.
Yeah, I'll try. OK, Luke...
..remember what I told you. LAUGHTER
Luke "The Nuke" Littler!
Oh, wow!
Come on!
APPLAUSE
I think he's played this before.
140!
CHEERING
I love the way you keep telling him the maths.
It's like you're taking your grandad to the shops. You've got £8.40.
Let's sit down again. Well done, that was brilliant.
That was great. Wasn't that great to see him in action?
Straight in with a triple, straight in with a triple,
finish off with a single.
Luke, thank you so much for coming on the show.
It was a pleasure for us all to meet you. Mr Luke Littler,
ladies and gentlemen. Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
We have some music for you before we say goodbye tonight.
You know what's coming up.
We have a performance from the incredible Raye.
So, Raye, if you'd like to go over and get ready to perform.
Yep. It's Raye, ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
And that leaves us to say thank you to my other guests as well,
of course, the brilliant Millie Bobby Brown,
ladies and gentlemen.
And, of course, the very funny Rob Beckett.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
So, that's all we've got for tonight.
I'll be hosting the coverage of the Oscars on ITV
and ITVX tomorrow night from 10.30, so join me then if you can.
And we'll be back here on 23rd March,
when we've got Billie Piper, Mel B, the very funny Leo Reich, Cat Burns,
and Paul Rudd from the new Ghostbusters movie on the show.
But now, the moment so many of us have been waiting for,
and it's gonna be worth the wait.
Here she is with 'Worth It', it's Raye.
