[@emmysaski]

Such a good episode and you’re such a good listener it’s refreshing compared to other pods talking over guests. So hard with adhd too !!

[@Elliestockton]

I second that! So refreshing to see!

[@user-pl5oj5qr2r]

I’ve never seen this side of him and I have to admit, I actually fucking love him! He is so lovely and you actually let him tell his stories 🥹❤️ Probably my fave episode yet

[@maddieella9843]

The best episode yet. I absolutely adore Leigh Francis and loved how much you let him tell his story, best podcaster ever x

[@RebeccaGoulden]

What an amazing ep this was, I could honestly listen to Leigh’s stories all day!

[@alexwells6876]

So glad to hear Leigh say what he says at 46:00 and that he still has that opinion after everything that's happened. It's just a joke, Bo Selecta has been shut down so much in the last few years. I hope we do see it come back around and people won't be so tight arsed about everything

[@bournie21]

Bloody brilliant Liv every episode gets better! Love how you just let him talk! I was howling on my dog walk!

[@emz_xo]

Loved this Liv ❤ Leigh is hilarious & I could listen to His stories all day 😂Your podcast just gets better & better xxx

[@smudge6727]

Didn't want this to end. Watched all his work over the years but never really heard his back story or seen him relax as himself. Regardless of your opinion on his shows comedic value, I think he's a genuinely decent bloke. Added bonus that his characters (especially from Bo' Selecta) have made me wee on occasion. Society needs more people like this.

[@hahadino13]

Really interesting stories. I know everyone else has already commented this but I really love how Liv is such a good listener, letting her guests speak so much more than other podcasters do xxx

[@elaineregan6950]

Absolutely loved this interview x

[@Mysterave]

Fascinating episode! Loved Bo Selecta so hearing about the star of Leigh's career was really interesting.

[@kellstinkerbell71]

Really enjoyed this, really nice hearing all the stories and finding out more about Leigh xx

[@rae_______124]

This is my absolute favourite one so far 💚💚💚

[@proseccomammy]

This episode was amazing

[@MrHyde948]

Brilliant interview… but bear at the end was hilarious 😂😅 so good

[@bringitbex]

Great interview .. I absolutely relate to both of you 💯 Love your podcast Olivia , keep charging ❤

[@livings4086]

Return of the bear brings back such good memories of great tv

[@pushmusicpromos]

Seeing Leigh on UK Play doing MJ back in the day. Incredible.

[@indigothewendigo368]

[@charlottelily2919]

What a nice bloke, love Keith lemon

[@user-wg5uw2wh8s]

Brilliant what a guy makes me laugh😂

[@union_jack23]

Brilliant episode. Leigh is my comedy hero and a beautiful man. I have to say that the reason women live longer than men though is that, generally, women aren't married to women.

[@factoryfactory7142]

Hes from the butterbowl estate in leeds locally known as the bronx!

[@chrisjames4150]

Great stories

[@hibiscusjay3851]

I’m shocked at the numbers . So few watching or subscribing 🤷‍♀️

[@loquacious_lisa]

This was filmed over a year ago ? How come ?

[@darrenmackenzie1892]

Who is the interviewer or the guess?

[@Andybarney555]

Every girls dream... room full of 12" men....😂😂

[@longshanks1978]

Sadly the woke brigade has put a stop to comedy amongst other things ,they really are a strange bunch

[@spendover]

He's a has been

[@Charlton2010]

And your a nobody 🤷🤦‍♂️

[@UTVilla]

Aren’t pineapples a symbols of swingers my friend tells me

[@DontStartWithMe.]

Worked with him on Celebrity Juice and he is not nice

[@hahadino13]

How come?

[@HoneyHoops-ig9ws]

Never liked him.

[@Liamfrancis20255]

I’m sure he’s well upset about that 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Andybarney555]

​@@Liamfrancis20255 he will roll you some 50s hes rolling in for being a bellend in the early 2000s

[@Charlton2010]

@HoneyHoops wow you’re a cheerful individual aren’t you 🤷🤦‍♂️

[@chilli-soup]

Bo' Selecta. It's proper Bo.

[@mmhcreates]
