00:00Nice to meet you, I'm, nice to meet, I'm Ali, my name is Ali, nice to meet you, come in, is she?
00:20Hello, hi, nice to meet you Jade, my name's Ali, I'm Jade, lovely to meet you, hi, hello, hello.
00:30Hi, Dave, hi, you know you from Little Mix? Yes, correct, I was in Little Mix.
00:41Oh, it's an X Factor, oh my gosh, that's such a throwback, we used to have to do that all the time.
00:54I'm Kevin, it's lovely to meet you, thank you for coming.
00:57I'm Ben, nice to meet you.
00:58Nice to meet you.
00:59Hi, same thing, I'm Shana.
01:01How are you?
01:02I'm Dinani.
01:02Dinani.
01:03I'm your big fan.
01:04Oh, thank you.
01:05Cheers.
01:17We're going to start now, Jacob, would you like to do our introduction?
01:20Let's go, Jacob.
01:21Welcome to the Assembly, our collective of autistic, neurodivergent and learning disabled interviewers.
01:28Our rules are, no question is out of bound, no subject is off the table, and all might happen.
01:36Prepare for hard questions today.
01:38Whoa.
01:39Please tell us who you are.
01:41I am Jade Thirlwall, and I'm very happy to be here.
01:45So, I'm Jacob, everyone.
01:48Jacob.
01:48Hi, Jacob.
01:50Good job, Jacob.
01:51Good job.
01:52We're going to come to Paul first.
01:54Hello, Paul.
01:56Hello, I'm Paul.
01:58Yeah?
02:00A lot of autistic readers have sold their soul.
02:02Do you regret selling yours?
02:04Do I regret selling my soul?
02:06Oh, it's a good question.
02:11Um, um...
02:14You've trumped me.
02:20How did everyone go again?
02:23Maybe a little bit in the beginning, you know, in terms of I was so young and I just signed the dotted line.
02:30But, um, I feel like as the years have gone by and I've learnt more and more about the industry, I've been, like, collecting, a bit like Thanos with the stones, I've been collecting parts of my soul back.
02:41Yeah.
02:41Um, as I've gained more and more creative freedom, I've learnt more about the industry.
02:46Is it the end of Sam and Kyle?
02:48Oh.
02:50I think it's the end of that kind of, um, TV show or music label.
02:57I think it's the end of that era.
02:58But I don't know if Simon Cowell specifically is ended.
03:04You've got Simon Cowell.
03:05Have I met him?
03:06Yeah, I've met him from Simon Cowell.
03:06Yeah, I've been round his house for a roast.
03:09A roast?
03:10Yeah.
03:11How is it?
03:12Simon Cowell's house?
03:13A lot of monochrome.
03:15Yeah.
03:15Ah.
03:16Next up with a question is Luca.
03:19Greetings, Jade.
03:20Greetings.
03:20The name is Luca.
03:21Luca.
03:22And, um...
03:24You know what?
03:26I'm just going to say it.
03:27This is really important.
03:28Do you know?
03:29Okay.
03:30The autistic mind is telling me Luca asked this question.
03:32Just be nice about it.
03:34So, you know you're a part Egyptian?
03:36Yeah.
03:37Can you tell me, were the pyramids created by aliens?
03:40Oh!
03:41I don't know if I'm qualified.
03:47I mean, something spectacular made them because if you watch those documentaries, we can't actually
03:58explain it, right?
03:59And because they're dotted all over the world, not just Egypt.
04:02You know, you've got them in, is it Mexico?
04:04Mexico.
04:04Mexico.
04:05Yeah.
04:05This sort of pyramid shape.
04:07Like, what does it mean?
04:08Yeah.
04:09Yeah.
04:09I really appreciate that.
04:10Thank you, Luca.
04:11Joseph?
04:12Hello.
04:12Hello.
04:13Hello.
04:14Personal question.
04:16Mm-hmm.
04:17How is your relationship between you and your mum?
04:21Oh, um, well, I adore my mum.
04:25Mum really looked like Diana Ross when I was little.
04:27Really?
04:27She had the big, sort of, bushy, long hair and then, you know, the big doe eyes.
04:33I love Diana Ross.
04:35When she would sort of go off to do the bingo with her friends, she'd be like, I'm off to
04:39do a gig.
04:40So, I thought my mum was Diana Ross.
04:42LAUGHTER
04:42Um, yeah.
04:44Yeah, we've definitely got closer as the years have gone on.
04:48I think, as a teenager, because we never discussed things that I didn't realise I needed to talk
04:55about, like, race, um, I think it actually affected me quite a bit.
05:00I was quite scared to promote or, um, speak out about my heritage.
05:07And, honestly, that's something that I still carry with me now.
05:10I'm quite ashamed of that.
05:14Right.
05:15Yeah, I see.
05:15Which I think, once we finally started talking about my mum's experiences, I feel like we
05:21became closer than ever.
05:23It was the missing link of the thing we'd not, like, connected over.
05:26Yeah.
05:26Do you know what I mean?
05:27We've always been close, but I think that experience particularly drew us even closer.
05:33Wow.
05:34I'm genuinely happy for you.
05:37Takara?
05:41Hi.
05:42Hi.
05:43Hi.
05:45Um.
05:46I would like to, um, yeah, duet with you on one of your songs.
06:05Oh, my gosh.
06:07If I sang Black Magic, would you do it with me?
06:11Yes, of course.
06:12I'd love to.
06:13Oh, my gosh.
06:15Has anyone got the music ready?
06:16I think we're going acapella.
06:18Yeah.
06:18All right.
06:19One, two.
06:20Oh, yeah.
06:21OK.
06:21Take a sip of a secret potion.
06:25I'll make you fall in love.
06:27With a step that can't be broken.
06:29With a touch with me, you're not.
06:31Don't you build it up to me.
06:33I love the recipe.
06:35It's all like magic.
06:37It's all like magic.
06:39Take a sip of a secret potion.
06:42One, two, three, nine.
06:43With a step that can't be broken.
06:46Living you up all night.
06:48Oh, you build it up to me.
06:50I love the recipe.
06:52It's called Black Magic.
06:54It's called Black Magic.
06:57Thank you, Dakara.
07:05That was really special.
07:06Oh, my gosh.
07:08Thank you so much.
07:09That was good.
07:12And Dakara's like the coolest name.
07:15You're welcome.
07:16Oh, my gosh.
07:17Oh, my gosh.
07:22Next question is from Essen.
07:24Like myself, you come from a Muslim Catholic background.
07:30What was that like for you growing up?
07:31It was quite confusing, actually, because I would go to Muslim school, and then I would go to church.
07:40Yeah.
07:41So I think from a young age, I was kind of like, well, which one is it, guys?
07:46Exactly.
07:46My granddad, Muhammad, he was so proud to be Muslim, and he was the most beautiful soul.
07:53So I really wanted to make him proud.
07:56When he passed away, I was 13.
07:58And it's a shame, because I feel like that part of my heritage and culture sort of went with him.
08:06I was a similar age when one of my grandfathers passed away.
08:09I think what was also really hard is the fact that I couldn't tell him about my true identity being from the trans community.
08:16He would never have accepted that, being he was Turkish Muslim.
08:20Yeah.
08:21I find it so, so hard.
08:23That's really difficult.
08:24If there is a Muslim background there, there's obvious conflicts there.
08:30Of course.
08:30Yeah.
08:31I mean, like, with my granddad, Muhammad, I don't know if he would have been happy with my lifestyle choices.
08:36But I think it's OK to love that person, and now they're gone, it's OK to accept that that's who they were.
08:46Exactly.
08:47That doesn't mean they didn't love you any less.
08:50And in my opinion, if there is something bigger than us, and we're taught that they love us,
08:58surely you can be whoever you want to be, and you're loved either way, right?
09:02Yeah.
09:06What was your worst ever date you've been on?
09:18Yeah.
09:18Oh.
09:18Oh, my gosh.
09:21Um, I have been catfished before.
09:25Do you know what that means?
09:27Catfished.
09:27So being catfished is when they don't look like the picture.
09:31OK.
09:31Um, so, yeah, I met up with a guy at a bar, and I didn't know it was him, because he looked so different.
09:39He was asking a lot of sort of intrusive questions, almost like a journalist.
09:44Um, so I got the ick quite quickly there.
09:48Ali, would you like to ask your question now?
09:50OK.
09:51About your boyfriend, Jordan Stephens.
09:54Yes.
09:55What was your date night like for you and him?
09:58Oh, wow.
09:59Oh, OK.
10:01Um, so we met in lockdown.
10:04We had to stay isolated, really.
10:06Yes, and we did three Zoom dates, and because we were all bored of them at that point, for
10:12our first date, we put suits on, and we did it like a business interview, and we asked each
10:16other.
10:17LAUGHTER
10:18That's our thing.
10:20We asked each other sort of very serious questions, like, I think one of my questions
10:25was, do you clap when the plane lands?
10:28Because that's a big ick for me.
10:29I did that a long time ago, clapping when the plane lands.
10:32Yeah, that's not for me, so...
10:34Do you know what?
10:35There is something I would give advice about relationships, like, share the interests,
10:39ask what's your favourite food or activities.
10:42Then, when you're ready on a date, you could see what it's like and how it feels to experience
10:51the food you like and which ones you don't like.
10:54Yeah.
10:54Yeah, that's great advice.
10:56Ah.
10:56Well, thank you for your time.
10:58Thank you so much.
10:59I loved your questions.
11:00Oh, yeah, I would say that, too.
11:02And the advice I made, as well.
11:05OK, Sophie, you're up.
11:08Hi, Jade.
11:08Hello.
11:08A fun fact about me, I did music in college.
11:12Did you?
11:12Yeah.
11:13So, I heard you do GCSE music.
11:16Yes.
11:17And I heard you stole a song.
11:18Which song was it?
11:20Oh!
11:20Oh!
11:24Am I allowed to say it?
11:25Well, I get in trouble by the GCSE board.
11:28No.
11:30So, when I did music, one of the, like, chorus-fit things was to write a song.
11:35I panicked and it was a last-minute thing.
11:36So, I took the chorus out of a song from Dreamgirls, the musical.
11:41Oh!
11:42Yay!
11:43And I pretended it was my song.
11:45I know that's bad.
11:46Well, in Hollywood, they do it all the time.
11:47That's how they do it.
11:48Right?
11:48It's a song that goes, like, move, move, move right out of my life.
11:52Did GCSE board ever find out?
11:54Well, they will now.
11:56Uh-oh!
11:58But, yeah, that is pretty bad.
12:01We've got a question from Elijah up next.
12:03Hiya.
12:03Can you give an example of a question that an interviewer would ask a female celebrity
12:08that they wouldn't ask a male celebrity?
12:10Oh.
12:12The thing that, if I'm being, I'm going to be very honest now about this,
12:16the thing that annoys me the most that I get asked a lot is,
12:18if I'm going to have children, do I want to be pregnant next?
12:22Am I pregnant?
12:22But I find it really weird when people ask that
12:27because they don't know what my circumstances are, you know?
12:30It's also none of their business.
12:31You don't know if someone can't have children or just doesn't want to
12:36or they're not ready yet.
12:37I think it's a really invasive question.
12:39Yeah.
12:40And I really resent being asked it.
12:43And because of that as well, it's meant that, um,
12:47I've put on, like, maybe a little bit of weight
12:48since I've become a solo artist.
12:51And because of that, people speculate a lot, like,
12:53oh, is she pregnant?
12:54I'm like, guys, I just had a bit of garlic bread and bloated.
12:57Do you know what I mean?
12:58But it's like, I can't, I feel like I have to always be conscious now
13:02of, like, oh, God, make sure I'm not bloated
13:03because they're going to start saying that I'm pregnant again.
13:06Yeah.
13:07Did that answer your question?
13:08Yeah, thank you.
13:10Next up, we've got Nicola who's going to ask you a question.
13:13Hi, Jade, how are you?
13:14Good, thank you.
13:15I am a big fan of Little Mix.
13:20Who's your dentist?
13:23Who's my dentist?
13:25Yeah.
13:26Well, I've got a local one, but I do go to see this guy.
13:30I think on his Instagram he's called the Tooth Fairy.
13:33Tooth Fairy?
13:33Yeah.
13:34I mean, it makes sense.
13:37How long have you been the dentist?
13:38How long?
13:39Yeah.
13:39Oh, gosh.
13:40I'm probably due an appointment, to be honest.
13:44Next up, we've got Julis.
13:47You were quite close with Liam Payne.
13:50And there's a lot of difficult stories out there and a lot of negativity surrounding him.
13:58I just wondered if you'd like to share a positive memory that you guys have and just talk about
14:05what he was like as a person.
14:06He was the first friend I made in the industry.
14:12We both auditioned for X Factor when we were very young.
14:16It was just so lovely.
14:17He was obviously very talented.
14:18He really wanted to make his family proud, which he did.
14:25And just, I remember everyone who was on the show at the time being like, oh, this person's a star.
14:32You know, you could tell.
14:34He literally had the X Factor.
14:35So, he was destined to be a musician and a singer.
14:43So, yeah.
14:46I'm glad you asked that.
14:47OK, Jenny, you're up next.
14:52Hiya.
14:53Hi.
14:55Do you get trapped wind?
14:58Do you get trapped wind?
15:00Oh!
15:03I do get trapped wind.
15:05And it's really painful, actually.
15:08Has anyone had it before?
15:09Yeah, I had it before.
15:09It's really painful.
15:10I've been told numerous times that if you actually get on all fours,
15:14and it does work, you know.
15:16What, on the floor?
15:17Yeah, if you get literally on all fours, like a dog.
15:20OK.
15:20For whatever reason, it will pass through.
15:25OK.
15:26Paris?
15:28We heard you are very good at dancing.
15:31Could you teach us some dance moves?
15:34Yeah.
15:35Are you going to dance with me?
15:36Yeah.
15:37I'm very good at dancing.
15:39Yeah, you know, everyone's got a bit of, you know, a rhythm in them.
15:42For It Girl, maybe I can show you a bit of that one,
15:44because that's the one that's fresh in my head.
15:46I started like this.
15:47It'll go, like a giant...
15:49Clop.
15:50Yeah.
15:51And it'll go, scat, like it was biting.
15:54Cat.
15:54Cat.
15:54Yeah.
15:55And then I go, scat.
15:56What would you call this?
15:57You're good at...
15:58That's an Egyptian.
15:59Yeah.
15:59Like this.
16:01I'd say verbal.
16:01Yeah.
16:02Then I'll walk forward for two.
16:03One, two, and then I clutch my boobs.
16:08Oh.
16:09OK.
16:10They'll go, da-da-da, and then they'll go, ca-cah.
16:13So I'll do it again with you.
16:14Yeah.
16:15Five, six, seven, eight, scat.
16:19I am the ick girl.
16:21Walk, walk.
16:23I am the shit girl.
16:27LAUGHTER
16:28Maybe that was the wrong song, Charles.
16:33Thank you, Paris.
16:35Cameron.
16:37So this question's quite personal, so if you don't feel comfortable answering, I understand.
16:41OK, thank you.
16:42I know when you were younger you suffered with an eating disorder.
16:45When did you realise you actually had a problem?
16:50Do you know what?
16:51I don't think I realised for a long time because it became so normal for me.
16:59And I hid it quite well.
17:03My school counsellor sort of said to me, I think you've got a problem, you know, an issue here.
17:10And that's when my family sort of intervened.
17:12And I don't know, I've been asked about this before, and I think people always assume,
17:18especially for young girls, that it's about how you look or things like that.
17:22And sometimes it's actually just about control.
17:24And at that point in my life, I had a lot of things going on that I couldn't control,
17:29whether that was bullying or my granddad passing away, things like that.
17:33So you chose to kind of grasp onto the one thing you could control?
17:35I think so, yeah.
17:37I had a sort of intervention where all my family sat with me and some doctors
17:42and kind of gave me some harsh truths.
17:46And I think once I realised that it wasn't just affecting me,
17:51it was affecting the people I loved around me,
17:53that's when I thought, oh, I really need to change this, you know.
17:58I'd never seen particularly my sort of brother and my dad be so upset before.
18:08So, yeah, that made me want to change.
18:11I'll give you a hug.
18:12Oh, thank you.
18:14That's so sweet.
18:17Um, so, yeah, thank you for that.
18:23That's some weird conversations.
18:25Yeah.
18:27But honestly, I'm not just saying this because I'm here.
18:30This is my favourite interview that I've ever done.
18:34Yay!
18:34And on that note, we're going to set up a performance for you.
18:38Oh, OK.
18:41Would you like to work with you on a song?
18:43Yeah.
18:44If you need rapping and vocals.
18:47Great.
18:48Yeah, sounds sick.
18:49It's an actual band.
19:00I love this song, as well.
19:01I'm coming out.
19:08I'm coming out.
19:10I'm coming out.
19:17I'm coming out.
19:22What is going on?
19:27I'm coming out.
19:29I wonder what's going on.
19:32Got to let it show.
19:36I'm coming out.
19:38I wonder what's going on.
19:41Got to let me show.
19:43So sick.
19:44There's a new me coming out.
19:46And I just have to live.
19:48And I want to give.
19:51I'm completely positive.
19:53I think this time around.
19:54I am going to do it like you never knew it.
19:59Oh, I'll make it through.
20:01So the time is coming for me to break out of shells.
20:06I have to show.
20:07I think that I'm coming out.
20:10I'm coming out.
20:12I want the world to know.
20:15Got to let it show.
20:18I'm coming out.
20:20I want the world to know.
20:23I've got to let it show.
20:25I've got to show.
20:27I've got to show.
20:28I want the world to know what I want to be.
20:30And all my abilities.
20:32There's so much more to me.
20:34Somehow I'll have to make them just understand.
20:38I've got to understand.
20:39I've got to find out.
20:41I know how I feel.
20:43I'll spread love.
20:45There's no need to be.
20:47And I'll just feel so good every time I hear it.
20:52I'll follow down.
20:54I want the world to know what to let it show.
20:59I'm coming out.
21:01I want the world to know what to let it show.
21:04I'm coming out.
21:05I want the world to know what to let it show.
21:08I'm coming out.
21:29I want the world to know what to let it show.
