TV starlet Stephen Mulhern is putting the topics to the Unlikely Friends in this hilarious episode of the podcast...and it all gets very sexual! The important questions include what TV shows they'd love to host with Leigh Francis wanting to bring back Art Attack, Emma Bunton putting her best Judith Charmers on for Wish You Were Here and Jill wants to go cruising (it's not like it seems).

Meanwhile Jade Jones is thinking hard about where he wants to go on holiday and the gang mourn the loss of MTV as it comes off our television screens for good and what it means for the music industry.
