00:04I know what's good. Peppermint tea. Peppermint tea? Yeah, I like that.
00:09I do love a nice tin of fruits. Tins? Yeah, I've just got like so addicted to them.
00:14Like you take them out of the tin and then I'll just drink the juice after.
00:20Ryland! Hi everyone, you okay?
00:22Oh my god! How are you?
00:25Hello everyone! Hello, hello! How are you? You all right?
00:29Nice to meet you. Nice to meet you. It's lovely to meet you. How are you, Caroline? You all right?
00:34I should read teeth. I had them all done. Oh! I had them all done, the wrong veneers.
00:39Really? Yeah. Okay.
00:45Hello, mate. I'm Ryland. Nice to meet you. I've heard so much about you.
00:48You're a Scorpio like me. You're born on the 25th of October 1988.
00:52Yeah, there we go. And you was in Big Brother, weren't you?
00:55I was, yeah, yeah, yeah. Oh no!
01:08What the fuck are you going to ask me?
01:17Elijah, would you like to introduce us?
01:24Welcome to the assembly, our collective of autistic, neurodiversion and learning disabled interviewers.
01:29Our rules are, no subject is our bounds, no questions out of the table, and all might happen.
01:35Please, tell me who you are.
01:37I'm Ryland, and I'm a TV presenter.
01:40It's nice to meet you. It's lovely to meet you, too.
01:42First up, Ali.
01:47Nice to, it's very, er, very great to meet you, Ryland.
01:52Lovely to meet you, too, mate.
01:54Did you ever consider to have a real suntan?
01:57Ooh!
02:00That's amazing!
02:02Well, I don't want to ruin anyone's fun, but I've got no tan on.
02:10Really?
02:10This is real.
02:11This colour is real.
02:13I've not worn fake tan for about a year.
02:15OK.
02:17I can't do another summer where I'm hot, sweating, and tan is coming off on my clothes.
02:23So, I just thought, embrace the ginge in me, and I'm just going for it.
02:27You're right.
02:28Nobody will judge that.
02:31Nicola.
02:36Erm, I know it's personal.
02:39There we go.
02:40I know you're gay.
02:42Yeah.
02:43My mum's gardener is gay.
02:47OK.
02:49What's his name?
02:49His name is Matt.
02:51Matt.
02:55Good for Matt.
02:57Is he a good gardener?
02:58Oh, yeah.
02:59Oh, he's good?
03:00I mean, no.
03:01No.
03:02But I'm quite precise with things, so I've got a pond.
03:04A pond?
03:05Literally, a couple of days ago, I put a load of lights all around the pond.
03:09You mean, like, erm, solar lights around the garden?
03:12Oh, no, they're not solar.
03:13They're plug-in.
03:14They're plug-in lights.
03:15I've sorted out all, like, timers.
03:16Oh, that's nice.
03:17I get excited about things like that.
03:18OK.
03:18But I'm sure Matt's probably very much a better gardener than I am.
03:21Yeah.
03:23Thank you, Nic.
03:29That's not your real name.
03:30Your name is Ross.
03:31Ross?
03:32Yeah.
03:32That's my real name.
03:33You can call me Ross, if you will.
03:37Cameron.
03:38When you told your husband you cheated on him, he divorced you.
03:42Oh, wow.
03:44Is honesty always the best policy?
03:50Yeah, I think it is.
03:52Erm, I'm OK admitting when I'm in the wrong.
03:57Because, actually, I don't deal well with guilt and I don't deal well with secrets.
04:04Erm, it made me so ill.
04:07Like, so ill.
04:10And it sounds a terrible thing to say, but I'm glad it happened.
04:14What do you miss about Dan, if anything?
04:22Do you know, I never think about him.
04:24Really?
04:24Mm.
04:25So, this is like...
04:27Like, my whole body just went like...
04:33..I miss feeling like I've got it all.
04:38I thought I had life done.
04:39Yeah.
04:40I've got the job.
04:41Mm-hm.
04:41I've got the family.
04:43I've got the marriage.
04:44I've got the car.
04:45I've got the house.
04:46I thought I had it sussed.
04:50I didn't have anything sussed.
04:53I didn't know what was a real relationship.
05:01And I can look back now and know that I don't regret anything.
05:06Mm.
05:06I don't regret anything.
05:08So, I'll leave that up to your imagination.
05:18Joseph.
05:19I love your shirt, Joseph.
05:21Strong shirt.
05:21Thank you so much.
05:22Yeah, you look great yourself.
05:23Oh, thank you, mate.
05:24Erm, my brother is about 15 years older than me.
05:29We were never really close.
05:32And I feel like when I was younger,
05:35he used to always make me feel I was never up to his standards.
05:39I'm curious, how was your relationship with your older brother?
05:43My brother was 15 years older than me as well.
05:48And I didn't have my dad.
05:49My dad, my mum and dad were never together.
05:51Oh.
05:51So, I grew up with just my mum.
05:53But because my brother was so much older,
05:55he sort of became like that dad figure for me.
06:00Oh, I see.
06:00My mum's got Crohn's disease, so sometimes my mum weren't always well.
06:04So, like, sometimes in the summer, because he was older than me,
06:07he'd take me on holiday rather than, like, my mum
06:10or what a dad would normally do.
06:13It warms my heart to hear that.
06:15What's your relationship like with your brother now?
06:17Erm, I mean, we're on better terms.
06:20I'm glad you are.
06:20Hopefully it's still the same after this episode goes out.
06:23Oh, yeah, you will be.
06:24You will be.
06:24Listen, that shirt, if you wanted to be in your best books,
06:27just to borrow it.
06:27So, you're going to be fine.
06:29It was nice to meet you.
06:30It's really lovely to meet you.
06:31It really, really is.
06:34What a nice guy.
06:37Jelani, you're up.
06:39Hi, Jelani.
06:40Hi.
06:40How are you, mate?
06:41I'm fine.
06:42Keep it.
06:43Oh, what secret things do you have in your bedside table?
06:48Oh, ho, ho, ho.
06:50Oh, ho, ho, ho.
06:53Mmm.
06:57Careful what you say.
06:59Fragrance oil.
07:00So I can smell nice in bed if my partner's there.
07:05Oh.
07:05Erm, other things.
07:08You go with that.
07:09What's in your bedside?
07:11Oh.
07:12Yeah, not nice, is it?
07:14Oh, ho, ho, ho.
07:16Oh, ho, ho, ho.
07:17Oh, ho, ho, ho.
07:17Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:17Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:17Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:18Oh, ho, ho, ho, ho.
07:21One question.
07:22What's in your bedside cupboard?
07:25Sean.
07:27You said, you said he never met your dad?
07:30No, I met him when I was young.
07:34The last time I ever saw him,
07:35got excluded from school for having a fight.
07:39My mum was...
07:40My mum was really happy that I finally hit back.
07:43Wow, wow.
07:43She took me to get a McDonald's.
07:46Erm, and we were walking through town centre
07:49and even though I hadn't seen him since I was, like, five-ish,
07:53I went, Mum, that's Daddy.
07:56She went, what?
07:56I went, that's Daddy.
08:00Do you still love your dad?
08:05I feel like...
08:08..he weren't a dad.
08:11He was never a dad to me.
08:14He's dead now.
08:15I found out he died, er, a few years back.
08:20I love him for bringing me into the world with my mum.
08:25Yeah.
08:26And giving me my mum and my family that I'm fully aware of.
08:30Erm, but I don't love him as a dad.
08:32Mm.
08:32OK.
08:33I get you.
08:35And now, we've got Jacob.
08:39Hello again.
08:39Come on, Jacob.
08:40Um, how do you cope when one of your celebrity friends
08:46is cancelled?
08:47Ooh.
08:52It's really tough.
08:56Erm...
08:57Er, especially because, like,
09:00some of them are not just, like, my work friends,
09:03they're genuinely, like, close friends.
09:10At the end of the day,
09:12if someone's done something wrong,
09:14erm, then I understand
09:16why they can't carry on doing what they're doing.
09:19But, I do feel today that we live in a world
09:22where people will want to go for you
09:24and cancel you for the sake of just doing it,
09:27because they can.
09:29Don't always believe what you hear or read.
09:33Don't be frightened to ask why.
09:43Thank you, Riley.
09:44Good interviewing you.
09:45Thank you, mate.
09:51God, this is like a lucky dip.
09:53You just don't know what's coming next, do you?
09:55I don't know.
09:56Yes.
09:57Yes.
10:07I'm so glad I did this.
10:09But, yeah.
10:10That's really nice.
10:10It was, like, the dang questions.
10:12I was like...
10:13I don't even say his name.
10:18Essin, you're up.
10:20Hi.
10:20Erm, I'm Essin.
10:22Hello, babe.
10:23I've had to come out twice,
10:25once as a gay man
10:28and once as a transgender woman.
10:31What was your coming out story like?
10:33Oh, my coming out story was just so ridiculous
10:37and it didn't even need to be.
10:39One day I was round a friend of mine
10:41and her mum pretty much knew.
10:44Erm, and my mum come and pick me up.
10:46Yeah.
10:47The second I sat in the car,
10:50I don't know how to describe it,
10:51but this feeling came over me.
10:52You know when you go completely cold?
10:54Yeah.
10:54And you feel, like,
10:55not just, like, my stomach,
10:56but, like, my heart,
10:57everything is going like that.
10:59Not planned.
10:59I thought,
11:00I'm gonna tell my mum I'm gay.
11:02We pulled up on my driveway
11:04and she went,
11:05Are you getting out?
11:06And I went,
11:07Mum, there's something I've got to tell you.
11:08And she looked at me and went,
11:09What?
11:10And I went...
11:12And she went,
11:13Oh, for fuck's sake, Ross,
11:14and just got out the car and...
11:17So she thought I was just having
11:19a bit of a joke with her.
11:20Rung my friend quickly and I was like,
11:21You need to get your mum
11:23to ring my mum
11:24to tell her I'm gay.
11:26So I'm in the car,
11:28on the phone to my friend
11:29and in the background
11:30I can hear her mum
11:31calling my house phone
11:33that I can hear out of this here
11:34and with my mum inside.
11:36And then I hear my friend's mum go,
11:39No, Linda, no!
11:41And my heart just sank.
11:43So I opened the car door and run away.
11:47And I was just sat in this field like,
11:49My mum's gonna disown me,
11:50Oh, my God, this is it.
11:51My life will never be the same again.
11:53And then after about two hours
11:55I was, like, drowned wet
11:56and I was just like,
11:57Fuck this, I'm going home.
11:58So I went home.
11:59My mum went,
11:59You all right?
12:00I went, Yeah.
12:01Do you want to talk about it?
12:02I went, No.
12:02Should I do all right then?
12:03That was it.
12:04I then rung my friend and I said,
12:06Why did I hear your mum go,
12:07No, Linda, no.
12:08She went,
12:08Because my mum's reaction was,
12:10Tell me he's not got a girl pregnant.
12:13LAUGHTER
12:16So actually,
12:16I think she was quite relieved.
12:18Yeah.
12:23Hi, Timmy, you all right, mate?
12:24All right.
12:25You look really dapper.
12:27Really dapper, I love your suit.
12:28All right.
12:29When my mum is crying,
12:31I play her all by myself,
12:33by Mariah Carey,
12:35to cheer her up.
12:36What cheers you up?
12:39All Saints, Pure Shores.
12:41No.
12:42All Saints, yes.
12:43That song is my favourite song of all time.
12:46If you're happy, you can listen to that song.
12:49Yes.
12:50If you're sad, you can listen to that song.
12:53It is, in my opinion, the perfect song.
12:56It just makes me feel good.
12:59That's my song to cheer myself up.
13:01Yes.
13:03Right, thank you, Timmy.
13:06Mikey, take it away.
13:07Hi, I'm Mikey.
13:08Hi, I'm Mikey.
13:09Nice to meet you.
13:09And you, babe.
13:11Just to let you know, Mum, if this offends you,
13:13I'm sorry.
13:15So...
13:15OK, now I'm worried.
13:17Me and my mum are really, really close,
13:19but we don't really compare notes on guys.
13:23Do you compare notes with your mum?
13:26Absolutely not.
13:28LAUGHTER
13:30Just...
13:31No, I can't talk about that.
13:33My mum sometimes does say to me, like,
13:36when I first started dating Kennedy
13:37and I told her about him,
13:39she was like,
13:40he's handsome and he's handsome.
13:41And then she was like,
13:42so has anything happened?
13:43And I'm like, shut up!
13:44Shut up!
13:45Like...
13:46For want of a better term,
13:47like, my willy goes back in
13:49if my mum ever mentions anything.
13:51I just can't.
13:52Thank you for answering my question.
13:54Thank you, Mikey.
13:57Oh, God.
13:59I'm going to come to Claire now.
14:01Hi, Roland.
14:02You all right, Claire?
14:03Nice to meet you.
14:03How are you, babe?
14:06So, I was sorry to read about your breakdown.
14:11How did you cope?
14:13Not well.
14:15Not well.
14:18Er...
14:19When my marriage ended.
14:21You know that term when someone says
14:23to pull the rug from under you?
14:25Yeah.
14:26That's the only way I can describe it.
14:28It's like someone went like that
14:29and I just fell over
14:30and I couldn't...
14:30I couldn't get back up.
14:32Like, I broke both my arms and legs.
14:35Hmm.
14:36I don't know if anyone here
14:37has been through anything like that.
14:41I thought I weren't going to get out of it.
14:45I went back to live with my mum
14:46because I didn't want to be in my house
14:48because there was too many memories of things in there.
14:53And so I did this thing with a cup of tea,
14:55which is going to sound really strange,
14:57but it helped me.
14:59On day one,
15:01I walked over to the kettle in my mum's house
15:04and pressed the button
15:04and then I walked away.
15:06That was enough for day one.
15:07I couldn't deal with any more.
15:10On day two,
15:11I pressed the button on the kettle
15:13and watched it boil.
15:14On day three,
15:15I pressed the button,
15:16watched it boil
15:17and then got a cup out of the cupboard.
15:19That was enough.
15:20On day four.
15:21And lo and behold,
15:22I got to the day
15:23where I could make my mum
15:25a cup of tea again.
15:26Oh, nice.
15:27And that's when I started getting better
15:28because I knew,
15:29hang on a minute,
15:30yeah, I might not be able to run,
15:32but I can crawl.
15:33Mm.
15:34Then I can walk.
15:35And now I can run.
15:40Thanks, babe.
15:42What?
15:43I'm a celebrity?
15:44Er, no,
15:44I've never done I'm a celebrity.
15:45I think I'd die if I went on that show.
15:47Really?
15:48That bridge don't look safe, Carol.
15:49I know.
15:50No, thank you.
15:52You're funny.
15:56You all right?
15:57Yeah.
15:58Ready for Natalie?
16:00My miss is a great big fan of yours.
16:03Oh, what's your missus' name?
16:05Kirsty.
16:05How long you been together?
16:07Don't know how long been together.
16:08Long while.
16:09How did you meet?
16:10At a party.
16:12Oh, all right.
16:13Who asked you out?
16:14I asked her out.
16:15Here we go.
16:15Come on.
16:18She's too shy to walk Natalie out.
16:20What do I do?
16:22Oh, we're going to have to have a word for fire.
16:24Do you want to marry her?
16:25Yeah.
16:27Maybe you two could go and get actually legally married
16:31and then rather than have like a wedding
16:33where it's all walked down the aisle,
16:35you could have a big party with all your family and friends
16:37and that could be your wedding
16:39and then she won't feel nervous about walking down the aisle
16:42and it's just you guys all having a big party together
16:44but the ring's on the finger.
16:45Yeah, thanks.
16:46Oh, can I get an invite as well?
16:48Yeah.
16:48All right, deal.
16:49I'm coming.
16:50You should go.
16:51I'll be there.
16:53Elijah.
16:56Hello again.
16:57Hello again.
17:00Why is fame so important to you?
17:03It's not...
17:04That was the thing that I was actually looking forward to
17:07was like people knowing who I was,
17:11people wanting to know me and things like that
17:14and then I got it.
17:16I don't know if I get in trouble for this but I don't care.
17:20I've earned a lot of money over the years
17:22and I'm grateful for that
17:23but it became the one thing I hated the most.
17:28Is there any part of it that you like?
17:37I remember when I went on X Factor they said,
17:38what do you want out of this?
17:39I said, I just want to get my mum a new front door.
17:43We lived in a council house and she hated that door.
17:46And fast forward a few years, she got a whole new house rather than...
17:49And my mum would never...
17:50My mum would have been...
17:51I've grown half in a council house.
17:53I've got no problem with council houses.
17:55It's all I ever knew all my life.
17:58But to be able to sort of bring my mum out of that
18:01and give her her own place is something she never would have done.
18:04So that's...
18:05They're the things that I'm very grateful for.
18:07Yeah.
18:08Really grateful for.
18:10Well, I'm glad that I got to meet you.
18:12And I'm really glad I got to meet you.
18:14Thank you, babe.
18:16She's so lovely.
18:19We're going to move on to setting up for something for you.
18:23I know I feel like I recognise you.
18:26Did you by any chance go to Smith's in Chelsea?
18:30Friday night?
18:32Yes!
18:32And then Sunday before Chicago's?
18:34Yes!
18:35Gay night on a Sunday in Chelsea.
18:36Yes!
18:36That was the best night out!
18:38Oh, my God!
18:45I've crossed deserts for miles,
18:48Swam waters for time,
18:50Searching places to find
18:52A piece of something to call mine
18:57A piece of something to call mine
19:00A piece of something to call mine
19:00I'm coming,
19:02Coming closer to you
19:04Ran along many moors,

21:37I cannot believe, literally, I said
21:39All Saints, Peer Shores
21:41See, you'd already planned this?
21:42Yes.
21:43That's so bizarre
21:45I'm just so fucking predictable
21:50Thank you
