He then quickly added: “But I bet she thinks that about me.”

Thank you!
The saucy exchange was sparked by a listener asking whether the couple ever don’t feel like recording their podcast.
They admitted there are days when they aren’t in the mood – prompting Gorka to compare it to their sex life.

He later swapped back to talking about the podcast saying: “It’s like going for a run. You never feel like doing it, but you always feel better for it afterwards!”
Gemma, 41, chipped in: “You have to have those days where you think, ‘For eff’s sake,’ because then you appreciate the other days.”
It comes shortly after Gorka made headlines with another series of racy remarks to Gemma during a previous episode.
The loved-up pair were answering the question: “Who is fitter out of you both? And what are your strengths and weaknesses in fitness?”
Gorka then decided it was the perfect opportunity to make a string of cheeky comments.
As part of her answer, Gemma said: “I stretch every day. You’ve got to as you get older.”
Gorka winked and replied: “I stretch her out,” before asking: “Can I pipe you tonight?”
Gemma and Gorka met during the 2017 series of Strictly Come Dancing and announced their engagement in 2021.
The smitten pair share two children – Mia, six, and Thiago, two.
Whether you care or not about your own college reunion, we all keep getting invited to the one for the comedy troupe Broken Lizard, whose movies are always the same thing: frat guys who never grew out of the same jokes, taunts and pranks. That isn’t to say “Super Troopers 3” doesn’t also exhibit genuine appreciation for a tight bond nurtured over time, but you need to have been there (that is, enjoyed one or two of these) to revel in tapping that aggressively overpumped keg of R-rated comedy nostalgia.
The gang’s longevity, well into late middle age, is indeed impressive, even if it’s relegated to reviving their most beloved incarnation, a quintet of adolescent-minded Vermont highway patrolmen who torment citizens, razz each other and routinely examine their stunted life choices when confronted with the noxious personality of the most extreme among them, Farva (Kevin Heffernan).
The boorish, puerile Farva — imagine an “Animal House” character its writers would have discarded as too crude — is the catalyst this time around by falling in love. His shock engagement to Sarita (Hannah Simone), the brainy, beautiful sister of de facto trooper leader Thorny (director Jay Chandrasekhar), pits brother against family and bro against bro, even if Farva doesn’t register his colleague’s disgust. Thorny will do anything to keep Farva from marrying into his family, which is admittedly one of the easier campaigns for an audience to get behind.
That’s not a sentiment against true love; it’s more a nod to strained credibility and a feeling of general exhaustion. “Super Troopers 3” hardly feels like some long-awaited third go-round in a franchise spanning 25 years. Rather, it plays like the 84th episode of a time-killing cable series that people forgot was still on the air. Whatever raw charm existed in the original underdog sleeper hit from 2001 (and found some purchase in the agreeably goofy 2018 sequel) has been hardened here into a piece of machine-stamped plastic, likely in the shape of a male organ sporting a traditional sherwani, considering the incessant swirl of infantile body humor and offensive-adjacent Indian culture gags on offer.
Besides the main storyline and a dull, time-padding smuggling operation to uncover, there’s little to do for the rest of the Broken Lizard team: Paul Soter, Eric Stolhanske and Steve Emme. Inexplicably, EV cars and food-ordering apps become running gags. Marisa Coughlan is back as a cop’s wife, and the joke must be that she never gets to be funny.
There’s good news in Brian Cox returning as their cranky superior, except it looks like two days of work, tops. The best new face is Nat Faxon as the station’s insecure captain. He gets more easy, unforced laughs than anyone, especially when it comes to a bout of “scromiting.” It still isn’t enough.
“Enough” is a good retort, though, for “Super Troopers 3” overall, except for the dispiriting promise before the closing credits that more mediocrity might be coming. But fans might want to savor this one, because according to Vermont law, highway patrol mandatory retirement age is 57, the age the youngest Broken Lizard member hits this month. Sorry, guys — can we have those badges back?

“Lewis’s dad Mark became the most popular bloke backstage after buying a round of beers for the people working at the Yeti Coffee van.
“On Sunday, Lewis took the time to go around every artist on the line-up to thank them for taking part.
A sopurce said: “He is the sweetest bloke in music and everyone backstage was grabbing selfies or drinking beers with him.”
On stage for his final night in London, Lewis was dishing out his best banter, joking with the crowd: “I won’t be around for long because I’m grossly overweight. KFC, KFC, Burger King . . .”
But giving fans something to get excited about, he added: “I’m going to go away after the summer and make an album for everybody, and when I come back, I hope you’re all still here.”
Lewis’s last album was 2023’s Broken By Desire To Be Heavenly Sent, which gave him his second UK No1 album and spawned three UK No1 singles in Forget Me, Pointless, and Wish You The Best.
Insisting he’s now in a good place, he told the Hyde Park crowd: “I just want to say there was a point where I never thought this would be possible again.
“But we are here and we are playing it and we are having a great time.
“Having said that, there was a time where things were really bad.
“I have played in London a bunch of times and there has been a bunch of times that I haven’t really been enjoying it.
“But to be sat up here and to be honestly able to say that I’m f***ing having a buzz up here is a really special thing.”
It’s great to see him back on top form.

Ella Eyre is adding a new string to her bow as she works on the follow-up to her last album, Everything In Time.
During an exclusive chat backstage at BST Hyde Park, Ella said: “I’m starting to dabble with DJ-ing so that’s opening up a whole new world.
“What I’ve realised is that the music I love and listen to is not what I’m known for, and it’s allowed me to expand my ability to perform on stage in a different way. Watch this space.
“That stuff might come into play more in the next couple of years. I might be moving to Ibiza. Who knows?”
Everything, In Time, which came out last November, was the long-awaited follow-up to her debut record, 2015’s Feline.
Ella confirmed she has started working on new music, explaining: “I’m writing the next album now. I’m going to take my time with it to make sure it’s what I want it to be, but I don’t want it to take as long as the last one took.
“To go back to the drawing board is kind of scary and daunting, but I’m learning to be cut-throat.”
She added: “I can be quite bull-headed in the way that I approach things, so finding different avenues to express myself has really helped.”
Ella, who performed as a support act for Maroon 5 at BST at the start of the month, has more live shows coming up and joked she is simply looking forward to sleeping in her own bed again soon.
She revealed: “I cannot travel without noise-cancelling headphones because you don’t know who you end up sleeping near in the bus, and we have some snorers.
That’s my worst nightmare.

“She had loads of plants on her rider, which were turned into a little garden for her to relax in.
“It was the most laid-back set up ever seen at BST.”

Zendaya looked ready for battle in strappy gladiator-style heels as she continued her never-ending press tour in New York.
She wore an ivory minidress as she made her way to a telly appearance to promote Christopher Nolan’s new epic The Odyssey, which hits cinemas on Friday. The premiere comes ahead of the release of Spider-Man: Brand New Day, which Zendaya also stars in, less than a fortnight later.
She appears opposite husband Tom Holland in both films, and it was Tom who gave her the news that she’d been cast as Athena in the adaptation of Homer’s Ancient Greek epic.
Zendaya said Tom, who plays Telemachus, the son of the main character Odysseus, handed her a script, recalling: “He [Nolan] was like, ‘Read it again.’ And I was like, ‘OK.’
“And he was like, ‘But now, think of Athena.’ I was like, ‘Stop right now! You’re joking!’
“He was allowed to be the one to tell me, and that was really special.”

Ed Sheeran Foundation CEO Dr Renuka Fernando said: “The Music in Libraries programme is an important step forward for music education.
“By expanding access to music beyond the classroom, our library network can help ensure that children and young people from communities across England have the opportunity to engage with music, regardless of where they live.”
Move to USA? Leigh-Anne has mixed feelings
Leigh-Anne Pinnock has revealed she wants to move to New York to boost her solo career, but footballer husband Andre Gray is not convincedCredit: Getty
Leigh-Anne Pinnock is in a tussle with her husband over relocating to the US because she doesn’t feel appreciated in the UK.
The Little Mix star said she wants to move to New York to further her solo music career, but footballer Andre Gray isn’t convinced.
Leigh-Anne, who is pregnant with her third child, said: “In the UK, I think there’s a lot of black female artists that aren’t getting the support they deserve, and people are coming to America for that reason.
“I definitely feel like there’s a market here for me and a fanbase that I can keep nurturing, but I have to be here.
“I’ll be honest, it is really hard with kids.
“My girls go to school in the UK. If I come here, I can only really do two weeks at a time.
“I want to move to New York, but my husband doesn’t want to.”
During an appearance on the Relations**t podcast, she also opened up about how filming her stint for the upcoming series of Celebrity Traitors helped her get away from toxic social media.
Leigh-Anne explained: “I didn’t realise how bad my mental health was until I came away from it.
“I filmed Traitors recently and didn’t have my phone, and I had a really good cleanse.
“I think social media is not made for mental health. It was really affecting me.”

Jay-Z pulled out all the stops at his New York show on Sunday, despite the fact it started four hours late.
It was after midnight before he arrived on stage at the Yankee Stadium, but he more than made up for it by bringing out special guests Rihanna, Usher and Beyonce.
Rihanna, who hasn’t performed since 2024 but sang Run This Town and Bitch Better Have My Money with Jay, told the crowd: “Y’all know I’m rusty, right? It’s been a while.”
She added: “I miss this s**t y’all. I love you guys.”
Other musicians who joined him during the two-and-a-half hour show included Teyana Taylor, Jermaine Dupri, Jeezy, The Dream, Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys.
However, given it didn’t end until 3am, I’m sure there were plenty of sore heads in the Big Apple yesterday.
Formula 1 fans are in for a treat after McLaren Racing announced a one-off show at London’s O2 Arena featuring top drivers Lando Norris and Oscar Piastri.
