25: Rosie Jones

Crushed by Margaret Cabourn-Smith

The magnificent Rosie Jones drops in this week to talk to Margaret about her crushes. And it's a doozy. Or should that be doozie? Please advise.

Rosie is so prone to crushes that she likes to think of them like a trifle - layers of custard, cream, jam and strawberries. But no sponge fingers. We always knew she was a maverick.

It's a wide-ranging episode from the deep to the dippy, with Rosie talking about having to overcome internalised homophobia and ableism to feel worth of love, and why she just can't resist a very good British actress. Who can?

We had an email from Susie who heard Alison Spittle's story in episode 24 about "winning" a sweat drenched t-shirt Morrissey threw into the crowd by holding on to it with her teeth and thinks she can top it. She says - "In the late 90s I was a huge Robbie Williams fan, and kept a bottle of water from a Take That gig because it had been in the same room as him, and might have had his breath in it". If you can beat that for either optimism (surely this is not scientifically possible?!) or devotion, let us know.
