This week on Unlikely Friends, Leigh Francis, Emma Bunton, Jade Jones, and Jill Francis catch up on everything from rollercoasters to Britpop. Jade admits he was nervous to go on a ride alone at Thorpe Park—but faced his fears in the end! Emma shares a classic “Baby Spice moment,” when she got recognised on a train thanks to her name badge, while Leigh talks about a lads’ trip to Whitby that took a disappointing turn when they couldn’t find ham and pineapple pizza.

Jill and Emma also catch up about their “French crew” (not people learning French—just the ones they’ve been to France with). There’s chat about cooking, listener-sent topics like Ibiza (which only Jade has actually visited), and plenty of travel memories—including Disneyland tales.

Then comes the big debate: Would you rather give up sex or sandwiches? Leigh’s answer is one for the ages. The gang also dive into which Friends character they most relate to, share their love of the Oasis vs Blur Britpop era, and wrap up with a chat about fame and what it really means.

This week, with Halloween still looming, Professor Brian Cox takes the reins of asking the questions for the Unlikely Friends!

The gang dive into all things Aliens - with Jill Francis absolutely convinced that extraterrestrials are out there, and Leigh Francis predicting they’ll arrive on Earth this November! 👽

Emma Bunton and Jade Jones reminisce about the 90s, sharing what they miss most about the decade - and the embarrassing stories of how they both pretended to run away from home.

Plus, the foursome chat about their shared love of the classic film E.T. (a childhood favourite for everyone) and their deep affection for London.

🎃 Halloween Special: The Scooby Gang Returns! 👻

In this spooky (and slightly silly) Halloween edition of Unlikely Friends, Leigh Francis (aka Keith Lemon), Emma Bunton (aka Baby Spice), Jade Jones, and Jill Francis are back — and this time, they’ve gone full Scooby-Doo! Dressed as their old alter egos — with Leigh as Scrappy, Jade as Scooby, and the gals as Velma and Daphne — the gang dive into tales that are equal parts eerie and hilarious.

From strange superstitions and spine-tingling premonitions to those haunting recurring dreams we can’t quite shake, the team share their own spooky stories and plenty of laughs along the way. And, to end on a lighter note, they rewind to their teenage bedrooms to reveal which posters once adorned their walls (spoiler: some are very of their time).

Grab your Scooby Snacks and settle in for a frightfully fun episode that proves even the bravest of friends get the chills sometimes.

Singer and actress Glora Estefan asks the Unlikely Friends the questions where she digs into the horrible valentine's Day gifts Jade Jones has bought Emma Bunton.

Plus there's awards chat with Jill Francis revealing her prestigious trophy win and Leigh Francis tells all about Jill's terrible cooking... Crab sticks and salad cream anyone?

Chefs beware, you may be disgusted at this epispde!

Welcome to Unlikely Friends, the new podcast from Spice Girl Emma Bunton, comedian Leigh Francis (also known as Keith Lemon), Damage frontman Jade Jones and Jill Francis.

It’s a funny, honest and unpredictable show where no topic is off limits - and the best thing is, you, the listeners dictate the conversation.

In this first episode, the gang answer questions pulled from a pineapple that’s named after Emma’s mum. You’ll understand why once you listen! They also reveal how this group of unlikely friends got their name, thanks to the Daily Mail.

Listener Bev from Tyneside asks the first question: What’s the biggest purchase you’ve ever made? Where Leigh admits to buying a costume from Teen Wolf, Michael Hutchence’s jacket from INXS and even a Cavapooshon dog. Jade confesses to spending a lot on vinyl, while Emma and Jill admit to a few boozy regrets that introduce the term “Hanxiety" to the group.

There's chat about menopause, low libido, “upper action” and why Leigh no longer feels anxiety now he’s over 50.

Plus why did Andrew Garfield (yes, Spider-Man) ghost the text messages from them all and which famous Italian singer did Emma Bunton once duet with?
