This week on Unlikely Friends, Leigh Francis, Emma Bunton, Jade Jones and Jill Francis kick things by talking about Emma’s big birthday. How long is too long for birthday celebrations? A week? A month? A year?

Leigh also went to a toy fair on his own, and had his very own Pretty Woman moment.

The pineapple took a slightly morbid turn, with a discussion about funeral songs. Grease megamix, anyone?

And another question led to the guys talking about the joys of being a parent, and the expectations vs the reality of free lifts to the pub when your kid learns to drive. Spoiler alert, it’s not very many. Plus, they’re put on the spot about their last text message.

Death, birthdays, toy fairs and children – this episode has it all 🍍

This week on Unlikely Friends, Leigh Francis, Emma Bunton, Jade Jones and Jill Francis kick things off with a surprisingly passionate debate about biscuits, before stumbling into a genuine mystery: a missing bin from the Francis household. Who took it? Why would anyone steal a bin? And what does it say about society?

After cracking open the pineapple, the conversation turns nostalgic as the group reminisce about computers, old tech and Atari consoles — leading to one very important question: does owning an Atari growing up mean you were posh? From there, it’s a joyful dive into The Big Breakfast, sharing their love for Denise Van Outen and Johnny Vaughan, before landing on an undeniable truth of adulthood: schools should absolutely warn you how long it takes to buy a sofa.

Just when things couldn’t get more Unlikely Friends, the pineapple gets philosophical — posing questions about “now or then”, familiarity, and the oddly comforting (or unsettling) smell of your own.

Biscuits, bins, nostalgia and big thoughts — Leigh, Emma, Jade and Jill in another anything-can-happen episode of Unlikely Friends. 🍍
