00:00 You look so amazing. The photos of you are insane.
00:02 If you're still getting royalties through the post, by the way, it's because I play your music most weeks.
00:06 Oh, thank you. I need those. I'm in so much debt.
00:11 I love your music so much.
00:13 Thank you.
00:14 Your kids like your music. Have they ever heard it?
00:15 My daughter really likes it. My boys are a bit like, "Oh, my daughter is a big fan."
00:21 The clothes that you wore are now really cool.
00:23 I know! And I'm wearing them again. I love them. I wish I kept a lot more of them, but I know it's come back round.
00:29 You are doing so well, Miss. This is incredible. You are unbelievable in this.
00:33 Do you just love what you're doing? Are you enjoying it?
00:37 I love it when it means something, and I think this does. I love my job. I'm really grateful. It's a great job.
00:47 I love being more on the sort of, well, behind the scenes now, but when you get an opportunity like this, it's an easy yes.
00:57 Do you blonde's have more fun? Because I saw that wig.
01:00 Oh, yeah. I didn't really have a chance to sort of, you know, take it out on the town, but she's having a lot of fun, and I've been blonde in the past, and I know it's fun.
01:13 Well, I did hear you had an express- No, you had a martini.
01:16 And I had a martini!
01:17 And you saw it off in one go.
01:18 Yeah, it was great.
01:21 It was lovely getting to know Sam and having a friendship with her.
01:24 And weirdly, we have a lot of similarities. We're both from similar backgrounds. We've both hustled very hard to get where we are and to be taken seriously with having had those backgrounds.
01:36 So, yeah.
01:39 I want to see you and Gillian in the pub, by the way. You two are the most amazing duo. Have you got a new friendship with her? Is she your best friend?
01:45 Yeah, I love her. She's great. She's amazing.
01:48 I'd love to see you something else together.
01:49 I know.
01:50 Hopefully, you're going to have fun.
01:51 Who knows? Let's see.
01:52 And in this Buckingham Palace Spoongate tap-in, you know, people nicking spoons from Buckingham Palace. Have you ever stolen anything from set that you've kept?
01:59 Yeah, I've stolen loads of things from set. I've stolen costume jewellery, thermals, which I could do with now, cast underwear. You name it.
02:12 Wow. Have an amazing night.
02:13 Thank you!
02:14 You're amazing. Well done, Billie.
