00:00She's quietly proud of her mum. She'd quite like the Spice Girls to go back on
00:04tour. Who wouldn't? It's hard to get the Damehood as it is to get the Spice Girls
00:08back on stage. Maybe that's what it takes. Maybe the King is waiting for us to get
00:11our asses back on stage. What a time to be alive! Football, music, it's just... I've never
00:16wanted to end. I know, what a summer, eh? Are you tired like the rest of the country?
00:22I'm exhausted. I mean, yeah, I've had a big, big year. It's been an incredible year.
00:26It's been so busy, and I think I'm kind of living on adrenaline, but I'm loving it.
00:31I'm here for it. And the music you're creating is so mouthy. It's amazing. You must be enjoying yourself.
00:35Honestly, I think the way the record sounds is exactly how I've been feeling for the
00:40last few years, and I just wanted to kind of get it all on there. So, yeah, it's really
00:45exciting times for me. Out on tour at the end of the year, playing Brixton Academy for
00:48the first time. So, yeah, I couldn't be happier. And then yesterday, your Instagram
00:52must have popped off, because 30 years, couldn't you? Did it creep up on you? Did you realise?
00:56Like, do you girls talk about it? What actually happened yesterday? Was it a special day?
00:59Yeah. It was a very special day, and we'd all been in touch. We'd not seen each other
01:03for a little while, and we were sending each other very gushy messages. And then I was
01:07lucky enough to work with Emma yesterday. We did a radio show together. And I think for
01:11all of us, we were surprised how emotional it was, because when we have these milestones,
01:16you think back to that time, you really reminisce, don't you, and reflect. And we were just
01:21five girls with a massive dream, so much ambition, and a lot of naivety. And we did everything
01:27we wanted to do. And it's enabled us to go on. You know, I'm here tonight picking up
01:31an award. And it's enabled me to continue doing the work that I love, and travelling
01:35around the world. So I'm so grateful. I've never asked you before, what does Scarlet
01:38think of all this? Is she a big fan of yours? She is, she's quietly proud of her mum.
01:44She'd quite like the Spice Girls to go back on tour. Who wouldn't? But no, I think she
01:49is very proud of me. But she can't let it show too much.
01:52Yeah, but you're the coolest man ever since. I mean, look at your arse.
01:54Well, if I see her later, you tell her that, yeah?
01:56We've already got one lady out of the five of you. When are we going to get dame?
02:00What are we going to do to do this? I know, right? I know. I don't know. I think it's
02:07as hard to get the damehood as it is to get the Spice Girls back on stage. Maybe that's
02:10what it takes. Maybe the king is waiting for us to get our asses back on stage.
02:14But we are ticking off things. We've got Spice Girls streaming soon. Yes.
02:17Richard is here tonight. You can have a little chat with him. You might see him all the time.
02:21Did you make that happen? Yes. Yes! And also, I've heard you talk about business and who
02:27owns what rights and things. It's so important to talk about money and to really stand up
02:31for ourselves. Yes. You've done so much for women and you're still going. How does that feel
02:35that you're making that discussion so public? Oh, you know what? It feels like when we were
02:39young, we didn't realise how important it was. You know, we encountered sexism really
02:45early in the music industry, in our experiences. And that made us want to be a girl band for
02:49girls. So we started screaming about girl power. And that's just, it's really enabled us
02:55to keep speaking to people, to generations. And I think now we're older and we fully understand
02:59that responsibility. We just want to keep doing it.
03:01And who would you love to listen to that makes you feel emotional? It's all about therapy
03:06and music. What makes you feel good? Oh my gosh. Well, I, you know, I've been DJing for
03:11eight years. So I'm all about house music. I mean, it's just the euphoria of being on a
03:15dance floor with all of these people unified in the joy is, yeah, that's everything to me.
03:20But Calvin Harris, yeah. Oh, yeah. You make us so happy. Thank you very much indeed.
03:25Thank you. And get it to happen. I know. Have a word. Have a word.
03:30Thank you. Thank you.
