00:02 - Well, I mean, I'm paid to be here, I'm the host.

00:06 So, no, no, it's lovely.

00:08 It's lovely to be invited,

00:09 and it's an honour to be asked to host.

00:11 So, yeah, definitely.

00:12 - And what have you been watching on TV recently?

00:15 Or loving on TV, rather.

00:17 - Do you know what?

00:18 This is drama.

00:18 I've literally been watching this free series,

00:20 the third series coming out this week.

00:21 It's called "Cobra,"

00:22 and it's basically about the Prime Minister

00:25 and what would happen in a certain situation.

00:27 I literally love it.

00:28 I wanna watch it all again.

00:29 It was that good.

00:31 - So you love a political drama?

00:32 - I love anything that I think could be real.

00:34 If I think it could be real, it frightens me.

00:36 I love it.

00:37 - Have you been watching "Drag Race"?

00:39 - I have not seen none of "Drag Race" this year,

00:42 purely for the sheer fact of

00:43 I've been literally working every day.

00:45 However, I have got a binge waiting to happen,

00:48 which I quite like.

00:50 I got into "Drag Race" sort of years ago,

00:52 like season three of the American version,

00:54 and I binged it,

00:56 and I've not been able to do that since.

00:57 So with this series, where I've been working,

00:59 I've got a binge coming up,

01:00 and literally I'm not gonna leave the house.

01:02 - What's been your favorite season of any "Drag Race"?

01:05 - Oh, no, you can't ask me that.

01:07 I mean, I love all the UK versions, obviously,

01:11 because I'm a UK boy,

01:12 but the American version,

01:14 I think the all-stars with Alyssa in was just amazing.

01:18 Oh, no, you can't ask that question to a gay man.

01:21 What's wrong with you?

01:22 - Is there any other reality TV you've been,

01:24 like "Housewives," anything else?

01:27 - For a gay, I'm a bad one,

01:29 'cause I've never jumped on the "Housewives" bandwagon.

01:31 My mum loves "Housewives,"

01:33 and I stayed with my mum for a little while

01:35 a couple of years ago,

01:36 and she was watching,

01:37 I think it was "Housewives of Atlanta."

01:39 Is that with NeNe and all of them?

01:41 I mean, I was into it,

01:43 but I've not followed it up.

01:44 But bad gay points, I need to carry on.

01:48 - How, what have you been up to?

01:51 Like, what have you been working on,

01:52 or anything exciting coming up?

01:54 - I mean, nothing I can tell you.

01:55 No, no, I'm hosting a new show for Amazon,

01:58 Amazon's first ever reality show.

02:00 So that's been exciting.

02:01 It's called "Hot Mess Summer."

02:02 So I was in Greece for four weeks filming that,

02:04 which was fun.

02:05 And then I was in Italy for another four weeks

02:07 with Rob Rinder doing the grand tour.

02:09 And that's either gonna win us a BAFTA

02:11 or cancel the pair of us,

02:13 so I'm not too sure.

02:14 - That's the only, they're the only choices.

02:16 - Yeah, that is literally it,

02:17 all in or all out.

02:19 - Go hard or go home.

02:20 Anyway, thank you so much.
