I hung out with the Spice Girls for Comic Relief

Natalie Cassidy and Joanna Page chat about all things on and off the telly.

Nat and Jo reflect on the highs and lows of the nineties after watching Boyzone: No Matter What, a gripping documentary about the rise and fall of the Irish boy band. Nat also gives her take on Meghan Markle’s new Netflix show and they discuss the heartbreaking true story in Toxic Town. They also look ahead to Red Nose Day this Friday and reminisce about some of their own Comic Relief moments with the Spice Girls and Tom Jones - no biggie!

What they can’t stop watching, what they definitely aren’t going to bother with, new releases and comforting classics – TV is timeless and no telly is out of bounds. As well as having a natter about what’s on TV, they share backstage goss from the world of telly, whilst also cracking up about the more humbling moments in their lives. Self-confessed TV addicts and stars of two of the biggest shows on our screens, EastEnders and Gavin and Stacey, Natalie and Joanna are the perfect companions to see what’s occurring on and off the telly.
