Jingle! Wasn't it you or me? Have I been told this story so many times that we were in a soft play once and a child went down with a full nappy and just left a big... Oh, did someone wrote in? Someone wrote in. Massive streak. Big streak of shit.
Oh, no, that was me. Oh, was that you? That was me. I went down the slide and there was just a streak of shit after them because they just had a nappy on. And it was one of the most disgusting things I've ever seen. I pulled Robin out of that soft plate.

Chapter 2: What humorous anecdotes does Mel share about soft play experiences?
Activity to have. And really foolhardy. And it's also somebody with a massive midlife crisis on the go, thinking, I can still climb up one of those walls. Oh, so you had to go with a... Well, I thought I sort of thought I had, you know, fun auntie had to. And then by the end, hatchet faced, totally humorless, sort of shouting. Do you know what I mean? Sort of shouting at everybody.
Just really awful.
They'd be like, she's actually on the telly. She's quite funny.
Yes. She's horrible. She's horrible in real life. She's really humorless. Really humorless. Yes. That's it. Oh, it's so embarrassing.
Talking about embarrassing. Go on. I've just heard, I haven't actually spoke to you about this. Yes. I just heard out there, last night you were at the BAFTAs last night. Yes. Did you leave your backpack on? Yes, I did. To go and give the award to Mary Berry?
Yes, it is. What do you mean?
I've got a very light little, it's like a school gym bag.

Chapter 3: What did Mel Giedroyc wear to the BAFTAs?
You get there. It's a cue. Wait there. You see all these people for their photos on Instagram.
I hate getting my photo taken. I don't like it. It's hell on earth.
We swerved it actually.
Oh, good. It's like a Catherine wheel.
It's like a Catherine wheel going off in front of you. The flashing, you are not prepared for what the flashing's like when all of them photographers are doing the flash. It's horrendous. It almost knocks it on your arse.
And then there's that thing of where you're about, I don't want to sound like a right dick here, but when you're about to go on and they go, oh, two seconds, someone much more famous has just turned up, they're just going to get their foot taken first and you go, okay.
And you wait while like Cillian Murphy or someone gets his foot, which actually did happen, but he was more mortified than us to be fair.
He hated it so much. He was very apologetic. I mean, he still pushed it. Still went ahead, yeah, yeah, yeah.
His deal come, his deal come, Rosie.

Yeah, I haven't got the kids and we haven't got work the next day. And you dance together.
now and then.
Sometimes. Yeah. You're not a big dancer.
I'm not a big dancer. Fourth and Strictly is the last thing I'm going to do. That was the last thing I did.
