Margot Robbie, Emerald Fennell, and Alison Oliver take turns in the hot seat in this episode of “Where Is the Lie?”, where the stories get stranger with every question. From Margot letting “Mother Nature” decide what to do with a human foot she found on a beach, to Emerald describing a ghost who follows her around smelling like sweet potato, to Alison’s alleged 'The X Factor 'audition that Emerald would do almost anything to see, the line between truth and fiction grows increasingly blurred for the “Wuthering Heights” stars.

Watch “Wuthering Heights” in theaters February 13th.

00:00Could you hang ten, hang five?
00:01I don't know what that means.
00:02Mmm, well...
00:04Yes, that's why there was an investigation.
00:07Whoa!
00:08Oh, good question.
00:20The club.
00:22Preliminary evidence.
00:24I was involved in a hot air balloon crash.
00:28I once found a human foot on a beach in Nicaragua.
00:32No.
00:33When I was 14, I wrote and recorded my own rap demo.
00:36So where was the hot air balloon?
00:37In Australia.
00:38It was a date with my boyfriend at the time.
00:42He was very nervous to go on the hot air balloon.
00:43And then we crashed into a strawberry field.
00:46And he looked at me and he's like, this is your fault.
00:48This only happens when you're around.
00:50How did it end up crashing?
00:51It kind of bounced.
00:53Foot. Left or right foot?
00:54It was hard to tell.
00:56We picked it up and I was like, look, this looks exactly like a foot.
01:00Did you report it?
01:01No.
01:02We asked the surf camp leader what we should do.
01:06And she was this Hawaiian chick.
01:07She said, we'll let Mother Nature tell us.
01:11I don't know about this one.
01:12And then we buried it.
01:14And then that was it.
01:15Oh, your rap song.
01:16Sing it.
01:16Sing it.
01:17I'm not going to sing it.
01:19I also don't remember it.
01:20It was so embarrassing.
01:23It was like my, I was called DJ, DJ Hecate, no, DJ Hectic.
01:29And the album was called Hectic Moles Club, which is what our girl group in school was called at the
01:35time.
01:35And it was.
01:41I think it's the mixtape.
01:43I feel like I'd have heard it if it was real because I want to hear it so bad.
01:47What I struggle with the foot is that she didn't report it.
01:50I can believe that Margot would let nature tell her not basically to commit a crime.
01:55That feels right.
01:56I'm going to go with you.
01:57Let's go foot.
01:57Let's go foot.
01:58Oh, God.
01:58Okay, I think the lie is the foot.
02:07Incorrect.
02:08Oh, it was the mix of blues.
02:09It wasn't a mixtape.
02:10Oh, I'm sorry.
02:12They should have trusted you.
02:13I'm sorry.
02:13Oh, fuck, because it's just like, like, yeah, you were right.
02:15But I do look like someone who would have made their own rap demo.
02:26Preliminary evidence.
02:27The local fire department accused me of setting my family home on fire when I was seven.
02:32I totally believe that.
02:34There's a ghost that follows me around everywhere I go.
02:39When I was a child, I had an imaginary, imaginary friend.
02:43What was your imaginary, imaginary fence?
02:45Did it have a name?
02:46No, it didn't exist.
02:47You pretended to have a pretend, an imaginary friend.
02:50Because I wanted the attention of having an imaginary friend without the commit.
02:52I really believe that.
02:53I love that.
02:54Talk to me about the ghost.
02:55Okay, she lived in my bedroom when I was growing up in the countryside, and now she comes with
03:00me.
03:00What does she look like?
03:01She doesn't look like anything.
03:02She smells like sweet potato.
03:03And you can sense that she's there?
03:04Yeah.
03:05She only appears or is felt by women.
03:07So other people feel her?
03:08Other girls feel her.
03:09Is she here right now?
03:09You know that she's not here now.
03:11Do other people smell the sweet potato thing and go?
03:13They feel her.
03:14So my daughter walked past my bedroom and she said, who's that woman?
03:18And then the fire department thing, how did you start the fire?
03:20No, sorry, I didn't.
03:22They accused me because I inserted myself into the narrative when they interviewed me.
03:27They said, were you upstairs when this fire started?
03:30And I said, yes.
03:31And you weren't?
03:32No.
03:33My whole house did actually burn down.
03:35It burned right now.
03:36Oh, it did?
03:36Your house burnt down?
03:37Well, yes.
03:38That's why there was an investigation.
03:40Whoa.
03:40I mean, would we, I feel like we would have heard about this.
03:43Oh, sugar.
03:48I just feel like we would have heard about the ghost.
03:50Yeah, true.
03:51More than, like, the whole process of making.
03:54And it follows you all the time, I think.
03:56I didn't say all the time, but it occasionally follows me.
04:02Okay, let's go with the ghost.
04:04We think the lie is that there's a ghost that follows you around all the time.
04:12You are correct.
04:13Yeah, but that was a really good lie.
04:15Well, there is a ghost in my bedroom, but she doesn't follow me around.
04:18And she doesn't smell like sweet potato.
04:19She does smell like sweet potato.
04:20Well, that's the weirdest part of this.
04:22And that's true.
04:23Mm-hmm.
04:24Wow.
04:31Wow.
04:36Preliminary evidence.
04:37I came second in the Irish National Surfing Championships.
04:43Surfing?
04:43Yeah.
04:44Wow.
04:45I auditioned for The X Factor.
04:47I had a hamster called Fudge who died on St. Patrick's Day.
04:51Where do you surf an island?
04:53So there's a place called Le Hinge on the west coast of Ireland, which is in Clare.
04:56And my grandparents had a house there, and we'd go down every single summer.
04:59And my mum would put me and my sisters into a surf camp.
05:02And when you went to Australia recently, over three years and that, did you surf?
05:05I went, I did it in Perth.
05:07Could you like a longboard or shortboard?
05:09Longboard.
05:09Could you hang ten, hang five?
05:10I don't know what that means.
05:12Mm.
05:13I don't know what I mean.
05:14No, is that an Australian term?
05:15No, that is just surfing.
05:17Audition for The X Factor, what did you sing?
05:19A Team by Ed Sheeran.
05:21That is a nice thing.
05:22Did they reject you, or did you get through to the next round?
05:24So, I was 15, and auditions came to Cork City, and they rang my mum and dad to confirm
05:30my age, and my dad told them that I was 15, and you had to be 16.
05:34Mate, you could have won X Factor if your dad had just known to lie.
05:37What did you wear?
05:38Oh, good question.
05:40You would know that it was a low sloth on me.
05:43A low jeanie skirt with Ugg boots.
05:44I just remember, I had a pink Daisy Rock guitar.
05:48Tell us about Fudge.
05:49How long did he live?
05:50Uh, four years, died of old age.
05:57No way.
05:58Absolutely not.
05:58No way.
05:59Four years?
06:00Four years?
06:01Is that a long time now?
06:02Mine never lasted more than a week.
06:04But surfing.
06:04Surfing.
06:05She didn't even know what hanging five was.
06:07You do it.
06:07No, you do it.
06:08Okay.
06:08We believe, oh, fuck.
06:10Okay, sorry.
06:11I'd go with any of them, honestly, at this point.
06:13I don't know.
06:13We believe that Fudge is a lie.
06:19It's not, it's not the lie.
06:21It's not the lie.
06:22It's the lie.
06:24I'm so sorry.
06:26I'm so sorry.
06:26You didn't know what hanging five was.
06:28How cool that you could have been on X Factor.
06:30I did actually do surfing when I was younger, but I wasn't.
06:32Does it exist?
06:34No.
06:34Were you on the television?
06:35No, because you have to go through about eight rounds
06:37before you get in front of Simon.
06:38So you didn't get in front of Simon?
06:39No.
06:40I would do almost anything to watch that.
06:42Thanks so much for watching and be sure to check out Wuthering Heights in theatres.
06:47Can you still play guitar and sing?
06:49I haven't done it in a really long time.
06:52Like the surfing?
06:54Lies.
