The new series of Big Brother has just started... and we're joined by reality TV royalty (and the reigning queen of the Big Brother house) to celebrate. Ali Bromley is on Stay Hydrated!

Forensic psychologist Ali made history as the first lesbian to win Big Brother UK and on this episode she's giving us the inside scoop.

Chris, Lizzie and Ali dive deep into all things Big Brother: from chaotic tasks, slime-soaked costumes and forgetting the cameras are there, to surviving house politics, keeping your cool in arguments and why sometimes the Diary Room feels more like therapy.

Ali also opens up about life after winning, trolls on the internet, working with the parole board in her day job and the wild surrealism of going six weeks without a phone.

On this episode of Stay Hydrated, Chris & Lizzie are joined by comedian, dancer, performer and officially “Australia’s First Attractive Comedian” (her words, but also… true)... it's Elouise Eftos!

Chris, Lizzie and Elouise dive into the world of chaotic dance routines, the politics of playing Twister as an adult, hot people doing comedy and why self-deprecation is dead.

They also talk Pokémon fanfiction (yes, written by Chris), Jacqueline Wilson novels for grown-ups, AFL players having mid-air strategy meetings and the magic of a perfect iced matcha latte.

Catch Elouise’s critically acclaimed show Australia’s First Attractive Comedian at Soho Theatre in London from 7th–11th October – it’s a hoot, a serve and possibly a political statement.

On this episode of Stay Hydrated, Chris and Lizzie are joined by the hilarious and unstoppable Chantal Feduchin-Pate!

Chantal is a comedian, podcaster and bona fide celebrity break-up encyclopaedia. She co-hosts the podcast The Way They Were (on all podcast platforms!).

Chris, Lizzie and Chantal dive into everything from Angelina Jolie’s chaotic blonde wig era to why work and travel woes should never be conversation starters.

Chantal unpacks the art of gossip, the cultural significance of Katy Perry’s infamous livestream and why celeb splits are basically modern-day Shakespearean tragedies (with better outfits).

Plus, karaoke gets redefined thanks to a Human League remix that has to be heard to be believed.
