Thank you, thank you, thank you. Very good.
_ Congratulation on that.
Thank you.
Thank you, thank you.
And that, of course, is off the album My Wildest Dreams,
which is out next Friday.
Yes, finally.
And it is a thing of, you know,
Wildest Dreams, this is your dream
to kind of bring out this solo album.
And I saw you did a tour by yourself.
Is it your dream?
Is it what you thought it was going to be?
I'm not sure about that entirely. _
_ LAUGHTER
I had this idea for years and years and years,
I wanted to do a solo album, because it was all about singing for me.
All I ever wanted to do was sing, and obviously Steps took off,
and it was _ something that I don't think anybody expected.
So when I decided I wanted to do this, I recorded the album,
it was all lovely, and then I realised I had to go and stand
on the stage by myself and sing songs on my own!
LAUGHTER
And that's a whole different kettle of fish.
Do you know some focus training? _ _
LAUGHTER Thank you.
We've got all the techniques for that.
_ _ _ So the album's out next Friday.
You did the kind of mini tour before Christmas.
Are there going to be any more live gigs to see?
There is.
I've just found out today, actually, which is so exciting.
You're fighting Anthony Johnson?
Yeah.
LAUGHTER
_ Please!
Yes.
Hedda, what's up?
So on the 5th of July, I've been asked to support Celine Dion in Hyde Park.
Wow!
I know!
It's amazing!
I'm so excited.
I can't believe it.
She's just one of my idols, so it's going to be incredible.
I'm so excited!
Oh, that is fantastic.
Well, listen, we look forward to that.
Congratulations on your wildest dream.
Claire Richards, everybody! _
_ _ _ _ That is nearly it before we go.
Just time for a visit to the big red chair.
Who's there?
Hello.
Hi.
Hi.
You seem cheerful now.
I am.
What's your name?
My name's Sally.
Sally, lovely.
And what do you do, Sally?
I'm a primary school teacher.
Oh, right.
At what age of a primary school teacher?
Year four.
Year four.
What age is that?
Eight, nine.
OK, so they can talk.
They don't watch the show, though.
Yeah, hopefully, yes.
Ooh, let's go with your story.
I'm looking forward to it now.
So, last year, I was at Oktoberfest,
and I had had quite a few drinks,
and it was time to find the toilet.
Can I stop you right there?
This is the red chair. _
It's a drunk lady at Oktoberfest with a full bladder. _ _ _
So, the lines to the toilets were really, really long,
so I decided to venture beyond the toilets,
where I noticed there was a bit of a hill.
Lots of other people were using that hill as a toilet,
so I thought I would follow suit.
Of course, yes.
So, I pulled down my pants, was squatting and started weeing.
But then, because I'd had a bit to drink,
was getting a bit wobbly, could feel myself going,
the hill was very wet, started tumbling,
and as I was going, collected other weeing panels from the toilet.
We were just rolling down the hill in our own wee.
She can walk.
I'm so relieved.
_ OK, that really is all we've got time for.
If you'd like to have a go [Am] in the red chair yourself
and tell your story, you can contact us via website
at this very address.
Please, a huge [N] thank you to all of my guests tonight.
