1:36 Jessie Ware? Hello and welcome to Table Manners. I'm Jessie Wearn. I'm feeling slightly faint because I've just sliced my finger off with a mandolin.
1:42 Speaker 05 And it wasn't Captain Correllis?
1:44 Jessie Ware? No. I'm not gonna lie.
1:46 Speaker 05 Do you feel funny?
1:47 Jessie Ware? I do feel a bit funny and I'm fuming at you because I didn't need potatoes on the menu.
1:53 Speaker 05 I'm sorry.
1:53 Jessie Ware? Anyway, I have been so excited to have used my new mandolin and now I will... Yeah, I know it's seeping, it's seeping.
2:01 Speaker 05 Jessie, you then told me to take over and I've done the same thing.
2:03 Jessie Ware? I don't think I did take, so I told you to take over. I think you might give it here.
2:07 Speaker 05 I think, no you didn't. You said, "Mum, can you..." You do it.
2:10 Jessie Ware? Yours is not as bad as mine.
2:13 Speaker 05 I wrap mine up very quickly. It isn't as bad as yours. How much do you think is missing? How many millimetres?
2:19 Jessie Ware? I don't actually wanna know, but my nanny, gorgeous Rosie, really came in like casualty.
2:26 Speaker 05 Yeah, she's definitely.
2:27 Jessie Ware? Twenty four hours in A and E, she was fantastic.
2:29 Speaker 05 Yeah.
2:30 Jessie Ware? But I do feel quite peely wally.
2:32 Speaker 05 Feeling a bit odd.
2:34 Jessie Ware? But we, we have coming up on the podcast, Charlie Marlowe, who I've been such a fan of. She is the warmest, funniest content creator, I think, out there. She does a lot of junkets. You'll have seen her charming Amy Lewood and Nicola Cochran. Um, she's a big fan of Jane McDonald. I met her at the Mighty Hoopla a couple of weekends ago and I said, you must do the podcast. And so, yeah, I've invited her down. She's coming down from Manchester and we're gonna talk to her all about, well, all things Charlie Marlowe.
3:06 Speaker 05 Okay.
3:07 Jessie Ware? Um, and I've been in charge of the cooking.
3:08 Speaker 05 Yeah, good.
3:10 Jessie Ware? So Charlie said.
3:11 Speaker 05 Didn't turn well, did it?
3:13 Jessie Ware? But I am blaming you.
3:14 Speaker 05 Of course you are, darling.
3:15 Jessie Ware? Need potatoes.
3:16 Speaker 05 That's the job of a mother being blamed.
3:19 Jessie Ware? Anyway, on the menu today, mob apps, speedy chicken, roast chicken. So Charlie had given us a heads up that she was a bit picky with certain textures. So, but she did say she liked roast chicken. So I was like, right, I'm just gonna do this really quick one. So it's you brown off some chicken supremes, you know, the one like bone in breast and legs. And then you, in some butter and olive oil, and then you put loads of sliced onions in. You put the chicken back in, you put some white wine in and some Parmesan rinds. Put it in the oven, cook it till it's cooked through. And then you put Parmesan over the top. And so it's kind of cheesy, whiny, oniony, delicious.
4:02 Jessie Ware? Um, it smells amazing. I made some sourdough, so to dip all the lovely juices in. And we've got some steamed greens.
4:10 Speaker 05 And some potato and some Gretan.
4:13 Jessie Ware? I'd rather not talk about that.
4:14 Speaker 05 Okay.
4:15 Jessie Ware? Um, yeah, I've done some mandolin fucking potatoes in chicken stock and oregano. And then I've done a bass cheesecake and I've never made one of them before. Well, it looks fab. Thank you. Um. Charlie Marlowe is here at the door, coming up on Table manners.
4:49 Jessie Ware? Charlie Marlowe has just walked into pure chaos. We've both done our fingers in on the mandolin. And I don't mean the guitar, I mean the potato slicer, because mum demanded potatoes when I wasn't going to do it because I've made a sourdough loaf.
5:05 Speaker 05 But I thought you'd like potatoes with... Would you eat sourdough with cabbage?
5:10 Speaker 06 I would. I would, Lenny, because I'm in your home. Well, technically Jessie's house.
5:15 Speaker 05 Not normally.
5:15 Speaker 06 I wouldn't reach for it.
5:17 Speaker 05 No.
5:17 Speaker 06 But in a polite manner.
5:19 Speaker 05 I said she won't reach for it, Jessie. Put potatoes on it.
5:22 Jessie Ware? Well, now I can't reach for anything because I've got no fucking thumb.
5:26 Speaker 06 It's like casualty, isn't it? I've not been allowed. No, my mum won't let me have a mandolin.
5:31 Speaker 05 No, they're lethal. They're dangerous.
5:33 Jessie Ware? I got it. I got it on Deliveroo yesterday because I was like, oh yeah, really need a mandolin because, you know, need to do those lovely sliced potatoes. Well, yeah, now, I'm just saying, don't go to the bottom of the pan because there may be a bit of finger in there.
5:46 Speaker 06 What are you making?
5:47 Speaker 05 Some gratin.
5:48 Jessie Ware? Okay, so no, we heard you like roast chicken.
5:50 Speaker 06 I love roast chicken.
5:51 Jessie Ware? So I'm doing a kind of easier version of roast chicken, which is a Mob Kitchen app recipe, which is chicken supreme. So you know the bit when you get a breast but it's bone in, so it's a bit more juicy? And then with loads of onions, white wine, garlic and parmesan.
6:07 Speaker 06 Oh, stunning.
6:08 Jessie Ware? And then we're having Basque cheesecake.
6:10 Speaker 06 Oh, stunning. Lovely.
6:11 Jessie Ware? Now, we did get a warning that you're funny with textures. Does a cheesecake give you the ick?
6:17 Speaker 06 No, I could do a cheesecake.
6:18 Jessie Ware? Okay, what can't you do, Charlie Marlowe?
6:21 Speaker 06 I can't... Listen, I think I've got that ARFED thing.
6:24 Jessie Ware? What's ARFED?
6:25 Speaker 05 What's that? Oh, you have to have the foods, um...
6:28 Speaker 06 No, I don't actually know what it is, and I say it. Is it like, I think, like, you have like five safe foods, but then I think I've got, I've got a plethora of safe foods. So maybe, I don't know.
6:36 Jessie Ware? So maybe you don't have a problem?
6:37 Speaker 06 It's like if I think about a salad and I think, oh yeah, chuck an avocado on it, and then if it was presented to me, I'd like, I'd really struggle to eat it.
6:46 Jessie Ware? But do you like avocado and do you like salad?
6:49 Speaker 06 No.
6:49 Jessie Ware? Oh.
6:51 Speaker 06 Right. There you go then. Right.
6:53 Jessie Ware? Do you like vegetables?
6:54 Speaker 05 It was indifferent.
6:55 Jessie Ware? Okay, well then don't have the steamed greens.
6:57 Speaker 06 No, I do, no I do, I do, I do.
7:01 Speaker 05 What sort of vegetables do you like?
7:02 Speaker 06 I love a carrot. I was listening to Paddy McGuinness, um, turnip, carrots and turnip.
7:06 Speaker 05 Okay, yeah.
7:07 Speaker 06 Turnips and sweet.
7:07 Speaker 05 Is that what he said? Yeah, yeah.
7:08 Speaker 06 Yeah, mashed it up.
7:09 Speaker 05 Sorry, I didn't do that today. You're not getting that today.
7:12 Speaker 06 It's all right. Anything that resembles like baby food, I can have.
7:15 Speaker 05 Okay, you like a puree?
7:16 Speaker 06 Yeah. Cauliflower I'm not fond of. Broccoli, love. Potatoes, love.
7:20 Speaker 05 Sugar snaps?
7:21 Speaker 06 Love a sugar snap. Mung stew.
7:22 Jessie Ware? Okay, I'll shove some, I'll put a mung stew in.
7:23 Speaker 06 Love a mung stew. See, I'm not that bad, but then it's like, get a cucumber out.
7:27 Speaker 05 Forget about it. Oh gosh, how strange.
7:30 Speaker 06 Stinks. Anything that people say, they can't taste it, seventy percent water, I can.
7:36 Speaker 05 Watermelon?
7:37 Speaker 06 St- again, stinky.
7:39 Speaker 05 Celery?
7:40 Speaker 06 Stinky. Well, not so bad with a celery.
7:42 Speaker 05 I wouldn't call them stinky. There aren't stinky, I wouldn't say celery was a stinky.
7:47 Jessie Ware? But I, it, it's got something about it that just you're not into.
7:50 Speaker 06 Yeah.
7:50 Jessie Ware? Have you come down from Manchester?
7:52 Speaker 06 Yeah.
7:52 Jessie Ware? Thank you so much.

9:12 Speaker 05 I would, yeah, I would not. I went into the shop and I said, when's it gonna be sorted? I can't cope.
9:19 Jessie Ware? Let's not think about all the jobs that will be lost and...
9:22 Speaker 05 Don't worry, we're back. The lady at Colliers Wood told me they were testing out.
9:27 Jessie Ware? So it's two week delivery, so I'll be able to get new, nice new Grammy pants for Glasto. Um, so Liverpool, let's talk about Liverpool.
9:36 Speaker 06 Liverpool, so all me family, so me dad's in the army.

9:40 Speaker 06 So we moved about. So I moved to Manchester for uni in 2018 and then I've stayed.
9:45 Speaker 05 You're not a Scouse. You do not have a Scouse accent.
9:49 Speaker 06 Scouser, Lenny, please.
9:50 Jessie Ware? Oh, really? Is it offensive? Is it like calling a Jewish person Jew, a Jew?
9:55 Speaker 05 Yeah, it's a bit like, but we hate the Scousers, of course, from Man United. The Man United, the Man United song.
10:03 Speaker 06 Well, I used to live in Trafford Road.
10:05 Speaker 05 Did you?
10:06 Speaker 06 Yeah, so I'd see them all. I don't feel any discourse.
10:10 Speaker 05 Are you a blue or a red?
10:12 Speaker 06 Me dad's a bl- I've actually been trying to get him a season ticket for his fathers, yeah. And someone said the waiting list starts for 2019.
10:19 Speaker 05 It's gonna be a new ground, isn't it?
10:20 Speaker 06 Oh, it's lovely. He's already had it all.
10:22 Speaker 05 Have they opened a new ground already? So they moved out of Goodison, didn't they? Yeah.
10:27 Speaker 06 But frigging hell, apparently the waiting list is like six years long. For me, I've got no chance.
10:33 Speaker 05 No.

10:59 Speaker 05 Oh, my goodness, Soho House has hit Manchester.
11:02 Speaker 06 I know, take it away, I say. It knocks me sick.
11:05 Speaker 05 Why?
11:06 Speaker 06 Oh, I just feel a bit too many people are coming up now, because the rent's cheaper.
11:12 Speaker 05 Yeah.
11:12 Speaker 06 It's not for me, it's getting more expensive.
11:15 Jessie Ware? Oh, mate, yeah. So let's talk about Liverpool.

16:35 Speaker 05 Jessie, she's a domestic goddess.
16:37 Speaker 06 How do you do this with all the sourdough starts? Because that's what I can't bear.
16:40 Jessie Ware? I just got really into it and it's like, really. Really satisfying. Now, I don't know if the potatoes are fully done.
16:48 Speaker 05 You don't want this? No.
16:52 Speaker 06 Thank you, though. Thank you so very much.
16:53 Jessie Ware? You are having a beige.
16:56 Speaker 05 Oh, I've seen a bit of that. No, I haven't.
16:59 Speaker 06 Thanks, mate. Right, okay. Wow.
17:01 Speaker 05 Did you like Greek food then, in Cyprus?
17:04 Speaker 06 Yeah, I was still quite fussy.
17:06 Speaker 05 Or did you prefer German schnitzel?
17:09 Speaker 06 I loved a bit of schnitzel. I loved halloumi.
17:11 Speaker 05 Mm.
17:12 Speaker 06 Lot of pita bread knocking about. Didn't go as far as to try hummus.
17:16 Jessie Ware? Why?
17:16 Speaker 06 Just a very fussy eight-year-old.
17:18 Jessie Ware? Okay, how long were you there for?
17:21 Speaker 06 About 10 months the first time and then two years.
17:23 Jessie Ware? But also, when somebody's going, try it, try it, you'll love it, you're just like, that's when you're like adamant, you're not going to, right?
17:29 Speaker 06 Like, I was like, do you do it with your kids? And you're like, you're not leaving the table until you finish that?
17:33 Jessie Ware? No.
17:33 Speaker 05 No.
17:34 Speaker 06 No.
17:34 Jessie Ware? I've stopped that because it doesn't work. So I just go, that's cool, yeah, no, but, yeah, there's no, like, I just say, there's no pudding, like, that's fine. If you're full, then that's fine. So you won't be able to fill an ice cream in.
17:46 Speaker 06 Oh, I had that. It was like, either eat this vegetable soup or you're not leaving the table. And I'd be like, I hate you. Anything, yeah.
17:56 Jessie Ware? Do you cook now?
17:59 Jessie Ware? So what would be, if we were coming round to yours, what would you be cooking, Lenny and I?
18:03 Speaker 06 Oh, I think I might do a roast chicken too, you know.
18:06 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
18:06 Speaker 06 Or maybe a spag bol.
18:07 Jessie Ware? Well, I heard you talking about a spag bol the other day and I nearly did one with you.
18:11 Speaker 05 So what's your special ingredient?
18:13 Speaker 06 Honey.
18:14 Speaker 05 Honey!
18:15 Speaker 06 Honey on everything.
18:16 Speaker 05 Never had that, oh.
18:17 Speaker 06 Honey and scrambled eggs, honey on everything, I'm like Winnie the Pooh. Love it. Honestly, honey, I could just eat it by a jar. A maple syrup, I could drink maple syrup, like the good stuff from Canada.
18:29 Speaker 05 Would you say you've got a sweet tooth?
18:31 Speaker 06 Yeah, I think so.
18:33 Speaker 06 But for certain things, if you came to me with a rocky road.
18:36 Jessie Ware? Forget about it.
18:37 Speaker 06 And such it.
18:39 Jessie Ware? So you're picky about sweet stuff too, right.
18:41 Speaker 06 Whereas I.
18:44 Speaker 06 Sticky toffee pudding, ooh. It's that garlic.
18:47 Jessie Ware? Oh no.
18:48 Speaker 06 Oh yeah.
18:48 Jessie Ware? Oh shit.
18:49 Speaker 06 No, that's me thing.
18:50 Jessie Ware? Oh, thank god.
18:51 Speaker 06 I'd put ten cloves of garlic in one dish and I'll eat it. And it'd be seeping out my pores and I can't smell it, my girlfriend's like, ooh.
18:58 Speaker 05 You're kind of unpredictable, really. I couldn't follow what your trend is in terms of food.
19:06 Speaker 06 Mm.
19:08 Speaker 06 I mean, I like me little weird things. You know what's really lovely?
19:11 Jessie Ware? What?
19:11 Speaker 06 Hummus and tuna.
19:12 Jessie Ware? Oh, you are eating hummus now?
19:14 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah, fucking love hummus.
19:16 Jessie Ware? Oh god, when did you decide that you liked it, what age?
19:20 Speaker 06 Maybe about thirteen.
19:21 Jessie Ware? When you left Cyprus?
19:22 Speaker 06 Yeah, soon as we left. No, maybe about thirteen. Bit picky though, only the marxist hummus.
19:28 Speaker 05 Which one?
19:29 Jessie Ware? Extra virgin?
19:31 Speaker 06 Any, low, low, low fat, any of them. I find that the other supermarkets are just not on par with it.
19:36 Jessie Ware? Have you ever tried making it though?
19:38 Speaker 06 I think me and me mum have.
19:39 Jessie Ware? And?
19:40 Speaker 06 I think it was nice. Mm.
19:43 Jessie Ware? I even make it too garlicky.
19:45 Speaker 06 Oh, that's not a problem. If you're in the house the next day.
19:48 Jessie Ware? What's the prep, but what's the prep for you, you know, on the red carpet, meeting a lot of people, rubbing, you know, hobnobbing?
19:54 Speaker 06 Hobnobbing.
19:54 Jessie Ware? Do you have like your prep before, do you get, have you got a packet of smints?
19:59 Speaker 06 Yeah.
19:59 Jessie Ware? Have you got a, a mirror to check that you haven't got any stuff in your teeth?
20:03 Speaker 06 Yeah, always a packet of smints.
20:04 Speaker 05 Who dresses you?
20:07 Speaker 06 Well, I own it. I got me first custom dress the other week.
20:10 Speaker 05 Oh, nice.
20:11 Speaker 06 I felt like Madonna.
20:12 Speaker 05 Did you?
20:12 Speaker 06 Yeah, I felt so cool, but I couldn't sit down because it was corseted. I couldn't sit down. It was that Agro Studios who make a lot of Jade stuff.
20:20 Speaker 05 Right.
20:21 Speaker 06 So when it, so I did, I did me red carpet stuff for the BAFTAs and then we went in and it's a three hour ceremony.
20:26 Speaker 05 Oi, yeah.
20:27 Speaker 06 Oh, and I was sat and I couldn't breathe and I thought.
20:29 Speaker 05 Oh, how did you go for a win?
20:32 Speaker 06 Lenny, I had to go back to me hotel. It was 10 minutes down the road.
20:35 Speaker 05 No, stop.
20:36 Speaker 06 I had to get reception to get me out of it. I went to my room, I stunk. Got a shower, put on a black summer dress and went back to Royal Festival Hall. Like that. Ayea! But I felt free.
20:48 Speaker 05 Oh.
20:49 Speaker 06 Felt free.
20:49 Speaker 05 It's my slide.
20:50 Jessie Ware? Photo.
20:51 Speaker 06 Got, I'd got, yeah, this is it.
20:52 Speaker 05 It's like wearing an all-in-one.
20:54 Speaker 06 Yeah.
20:54 Speaker 05 And you have to ask people in the toilets to help you.
20:57 Speaker 06 This is it. I'd got the picky. I was clean, I was fresh.
21:03 Speaker 05 Do you think it was ju-, it was just because it was so tight that you perspired?
21:08 Speaker 06 Mate, yeah, but it was very, it was a very hot day. It was boiling.

22:58 Jessie Ware? How much do you prep for an interview? Because you, I mean, you do a lot of red carpets where you're meeting so many different people. And you are so, your style, and I don't know whether it's become something that you, it's just natural to you, or you've kind of had to really work it. I doubt you've had to really work at it because you're brilliantly warm and funny. But you're gifted at these one-liners. But they're considered one-liners, do you know what I mean? It's not like they're not off-
23:27 Speaker 05 Because she's funny.
23:28 Jessie Ware? You are funny. You are funny, but like, when did you discover this?
23:33 Speaker 06 I think when you're moving around a lot when you're little. It's either be funny, or you've got no mates. Do you know what I mean? I think you've got to adapt a lot.
23:42 Speaker 05 But do you do stand-up?
23:43 Speaker 06 No, you know what? I didn't, I was doing it at uni for a bit because we were all going to go to the fringe. And then Covid hit, and I never did it.
23:51 Speaker 05 I think you should be doing stand-up.
23:53 Speaker 06 I know, but I feel a bit too scared.
23:55 Jessie Ware? Do you regard yourself as a comedian? Or a TV personality? Or a TikTok kind of content person? Or all of them?
24:04 Speaker 06 Never know what to say. I'm sorry, presenter.
24:08 Jessie Ware? Presenter?
24:08 Speaker 06 Presenter and content creator mainly. But, I don't know, it's hard, isn't it? I feel like it's like a new world of people doing half and half.
24:16 Speaker 05 What is a content creator?
24:18 Speaker 06 Just like Instagram and all that shit, like TikTok.
24:20 Speaker 05 Oh, is that what it is?
24:21 Jessie Ware? But when did you start doing that, Charlie?
24:23 Speaker 06 So I did that at uni.
24:24 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
24:25 Speaker 06 Because basically Covid hit. So I was doing media at uni anyway.
24:28 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
24:29 Speaker 06 And Covid hit, so I was doing loads of workshops with the BBC over Zoom, ITV and all that.
24:35 Jessie Ware? What kind of workshops?
24:37 Speaker 06 Like how to pitch to commissioners, how to do this, how to do that. If you had made your own TV show, how would you bring it to them?
24:44 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
24:45 Speaker 06 And they basically said, like, you know, if we were looking for talent to host this programme. We'd rather them have a following.
24:51 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
24:51 Speaker 06 To give the show an extra.
24:53 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
24:53 Speaker 06 You know, if you've got fifty thousand followers, great. We've got fifty thousand followers of an audience to bring already before we've even started. And I thought, I think it's sub- like, subconsciously stuck with me a little bit. And I thought, okay.
25:06 Jessie Ware? Better make my own following.
25:07 Speaker 06 Yeah. Cause I started, so I left uni and then I went into working into like TV.
25:13 Jessie Ware? So you got into content, content making, which now is kind of, you know, there was the reason I know of you, your content's fantastic. Is the end goal to do more telly or do you feel almost like you have your own version of your television? Within TikTok and Instagram?
25:30 Speaker 06 Well, I don't know, because this is what I mean. I feel like you speak to people who are like solely on telly and then they wanna get more into.
25:36 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
25:37 Speaker 06 Doing content creation, doing vids online, do you know what I mean? Trying to get out there more. But then everyone, where I'm coming from, is trying to get on to telly. So I feel like it's turning into this weird half and half. Kind of world. And I think, like, channels are, they've got less money to play around with. So it's, I think that's making it even harder to then, there's less of kind of, oh, you know, we're thinking about doing this, like, little kooky, crazy, funny segment. Get you it, like, they've, they've just not got the time, they've not got the budget for that.
26:08 Jessie Ware? So what was the first one that took off? Can you remember?
26:11 Speaker 06 I think maybe me just going on it, cause I've got rosacea on me nose. So I think it was like the height of Covid being like, people say I've looked like I've been drinking red wine. No, I haven't. And I think, like, people's attention spans back then were a lot better. And I think a lot more was, like, funnier, cause it was like, what's this new app? So everyone was like, that's funny. And it just, I feel like it, like, snowballed a bit, but it was quite. Like it it was quite sporadic in how it would grow. So then I was working, I was working in telly, I did my week on naked attraction. And then I'd flit between being like a Covid runner, who everyone fucking hates.
26:42 Jessie Ware? So you're shoving things up people's noses.
26:44 Speaker 06 Shoving things up people's noses, going, can you put your mask on? And then I'd be a production runner, so I'd do half and half. And then finally, I was doing some presenting, but I had to lie and be like, I've got the doctors. And I'd be on the streets of Manchester doing vox pops with like spec savers, like, sorry guys, I'm I'm not well. And then, yeah, it just, I think I had like, I finished my last telly job in November and then I was like, right, I'll take the rest of the year off, see how this goes.
27:08 Jessie Ware? When was this?
27:09 Speaker 06 Twenty twenty two.
27:11 Jessie Ware? Okay.
27:11 Speaker 06 And then.
27:12 Jessie Ware? And you've basically been contenting for.
27:14 Speaker 06 Yeah.
27:15 Jessie Ware? Two and a half years.
27:15 Speaker 06 Yeah, I think I just kept saying like, I wanna be a presenter.
27:18 Speaker 05 But wouldn't you like your own show?
27:21 Speaker 06 Oh, I'd love it.
27:21 Speaker 05 Yeah.
27:22 Speaker 06 I'd love it, but I think I do. I don't know, because you have times where you're like reflecting, you look back, don't you, and you think, oh, I wanna do this, I wanna do that. And I think, I'm twenty four.
27:31 Speaker 05 You're a baby.
27:31 Jessie Ware? Wow, you're a baby!
27:34 Speaker 06 Stop her. No, but I do think like it's not, there are some things where I think like, oh, fuck, I'd love to present this morning. And I think. You're not gonna get, a twenty four year old is not gonna present.
27:44 Jessie Ware? I think, and it's, you are baby faced, but you have. A wisdom about you that doesn't seem like a twenty four year old.
27:51 Speaker 06 And I've got the older fifty year old.
27:54 Jessie Ware? I think you could get this morning.
27:55 Speaker 05 Who are your favourite female comedians?
28:00 Speaker 06 Um, Dawn French.
28:02 Speaker 05 Yeah.
28:03 Speaker 06 Love Victoria Wood.
28:05 Speaker 05 Yeah.
28:05 Speaker 06 Diane Morgan.
28:07 Speaker 05 Love her.
28:08 Speaker 06 Um, trying to think like, yeah, French and Saunders, like that kind of vibe.
28:12 Speaker 05 But who's the one that did?
28:14 Jessie Ware? You must have been really young when French and Saunders came out, like, almost not born.
28:18 Speaker 06 Yeah, but when we were lived, when we lived in Cyprus in Germany, like, we didn't have Sky, there was like three channels. So I was watching like the A-Team. Like, Vicar de Bly, Faulty Towers, because there was nothing on. Like, I remember the people who were minted enough to have Sky, they were two weeks ahead of us on Corrie. So we'd, because it was all we had. So we were like, I was eight years old, going up to people going like, what happens to Kevin? What happens to Kevin? And so like, like, are they still together? Because we just like, didn't have it.
28:46 Jessie Ware? Being a funny person and having to kind of survive in this travelling around, were they, were they tough? And also being queer as well and being, when did you, when did you come, did you come out to your parents?
28:58 Speaker 06 Yeah, only in like twenty nineteen.
28:59 Jessie Ware? Okay.
29:00 Speaker 06 But yeah, that was quite, I think they'd seen a pic, I think they suspected it. I think they'd seen, I kept handing me mum my phone and there was a picture of me and me then girlfriend on the, on the screen.
29:09 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
29:10 Speaker 06 She was like, who's that?
29:11 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
29:11 Speaker 06 I was like, it's my girlfriend. And then it was fine after that. But um, yeah, we're not, we don't really talk too much about feelings.
29:20 Jessie Ware? Okay.
29:21 Speaker 06 We're not like, we couldn't do this.
29:23 Jessie Ware? Got it.
29:24 Speaker 06 No.
29:24 Jessie Ware? You couldn't?
29:25 Speaker 06 No. But then like, we, I would say that we are very close and that we, do you know what I mean? But I think.
29:31 Jessie Ware? So when you've got a problem, who do you ring up?
29:34 Speaker 06 I don't know, my girlfriend. I speak to my mum and dad about it. Yeah, probably my girlfriends.
29:39 Jessie Ware? How, how did you meet your girlfriend?
29:40 Speaker 06 Oh yeah, so she messaged me on Instagram saying, people say I look like Jane McDonald. And then I clicked straight on it.
29:47 Jessie Ware? She knew what she was doing then, didn't she?
29:49 Speaker 06 Yeah, and I was like, hello.
29:50 Jessie Ware? That was a great, great chat up line, that, Donald.
29:53 Speaker 06 I finally met her.
29:54 Jessie Ware? Okay.
29:55 Speaker 06 I finally got to sit down and have an interview with her.
29:57 Jessie Ware? How was it?
29:58 Speaker 06 Oh, it was so good. It was unreal.
30:00 Jessie Ware? Is she nice?
30:01 Speaker 06 It's unreal.
30:01 Jessie Ware? Warm?
30:02 Speaker 06 Yeah. But I was meant to do, when I did the Sober Watch, she was hosting it. And I was meant to get a bit time with her. And then they were like, oh, she's running late. No. But she was so good.
30:13 Jessie Ware? Did she, did you have some picky tea with her?
30:16 Speaker 06 Picky tea? No, because she loves a picky tea.
30:18 Jessie Ware? Loves a picky tea.
30:20 Speaker 06 No, we had it in a posh hotel, I think in um, Mayfair. So they had like a few cakes and a few bikkies, but I didn't, didn't dare eat.
30:26 Jessie Ware? That's a bit picky.
30:27 Speaker 06 Yeah, it's a bit picky. Look a bit fancy.
30:30 Jessie Ware? Are you ready for some pud?
30:31 Speaker 06 Oh my god, yes, please.
30:33 Jessie Ware? Um, before I pass out, because this is literally bleeding through.
30:36 Speaker 05 Jessie, this is not right. You're bleeding out.
30:41 Speaker 05 Maybe we need to make you a cup of tea, like you're a blood donor.
30:46 Speaker 06 So you made this as well?
30:47 Jessie Ware? I did. Don't give her that bit, because it's got a bit of like liquid on it.
30:51 Speaker 06 That's all right. Wow.
30:54 Jessie Ware? It's a bit condensation. I made this yesterday.
30:57 Speaker 06 Thank you so much, bloody hell.
30:59 Jessie Ware? I've never made it before.
31:01 Speaker 05 Just you haven't even got a spatula here, don't know where I'm up.
31:04 Jessie Ware? So, last supper, Charlie Marlowe.
31:06 Speaker 06 Oh, yeah.
31:07 Jessie Ware? Starter, main, pud, drink of choice.
31:11 Speaker 06 I've not thought about it. Um, starter, I do like a burrata.
31:17 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
31:17 Speaker 06 Little burrata, maybe a, oh, what are those lovely Italian things when they fry the veg?
31:21 Jessie Ware? Arancini?
31:23 Speaker 06 Oh, maybe a bit of arancini. Yeah, when they fry the veg.
31:26 Jessie Ware? Okay, yeah.
31:26 Speaker 06 Yeah, maybe a bit of that.
31:27 Speaker 05 Tempura veg?
31:28 Jessie Ware? If you want extra cream, babe.
31:30 Speaker 06 Oh, thank you. Um, and then for me main, probably a leg of lamb.
31:34 Speaker 05 Mmm, I love lamb.
31:35 Speaker 06 Love it. Um, and then over the pudding.
31:39 Speaker 05 Really delicious, Jess.
31:40 Speaker 06 Maybe a sticky toffee pud.
31:42 Speaker 05 Mmm.
31:43 Speaker 06 God, that was nice and simple, wasn't it?
31:44 Speaker 05 And what are you drinking?
31:45 Speaker 06 Bish bash bosh.
31:49 Speaker 05 Do you like cocktails?
31:50 Speaker 06 I love a cocktail.
31:51 Speaker 05 Go on, what's yours?
31:52 Speaker 06 Aperol spritz.
31:53 Speaker 05 Mmm.
31:54 Speaker 06 But I do love a mojito. This is bloody lovely.
31:57 Jessie Ware? Thank you.
31:58 Speaker 05 Delicious.
31:58 Jessie Ware? Greg, who is my lovely friend, who has this great deli in Nunhead called Mother Superior.
32:04 Speaker 06 Nice one, Greg.
32:05 Jessie Ware? Yeah, nice one, Greg. Um, and he gave me his recipe and he's been refining it, so he uses a Felicity Cloak. No, I think I called him Felicity Cloak. I was like, all right, mate. Um, so he's taken two different recipes. But he said I needed to get a silicone mould.
32:21 Speaker 06 Oh.
32:21 Jessie Ware? And I said I can't get that on delivery, mate. So, unfortunately.
32:26 Speaker 06 That was lovely.
32:27 Speaker 05 I wouldn't get a silicone mould.
32:28 Speaker 06 No, when you said it, I thought.
32:29 Speaker 05 You wouldn't be able to get it, huh?
32:30 Jessie Ware? Hold on a minute.
32:33 Jessie Ware? When I said.
32:33 Speaker 06 When you went past cheesecake, I thought, I don't like cheesecake.
32:36 Jessie Ware? Oh, mate.
32:37 Speaker 06 No.
32:37 Jessie Ware? I don't like cheesecake either, actually, but I like this.
32:40 Speaker 06 Yeah, no, it's really nice.
32:41 Jessie Ware? You're very good at hiding it. Fucking, you went, yeah, oh, cheesecake.
32:45 Speaker 05 She's also so honest.
32:47 Speaker 06 If I'm at someone else's house, I'll eat it.
32:50 Jessie Ware? What would we find in your fridge?
32:52 Speaker 06 You would find fifteen bottles of prosecco. You would find.
32:57 Speaker 05 You like a cheeky prosecco.
32:58 Speaker 06 Prosecco.
33:00 Speaker 05 Which brand?
33:02 Speaker 06 You know what, I'm quite easy, Lenny. I, I, I like the Sainsbury's and I like the Marxie's one.
33:06 Speaker 05 Do you?
33:07 Speaker 06 Yeah, treat myself the twelve quid one, just going out, all out there.
33:10 Speaker 05 Do you prefer it to champagne?
33:13 Speaker 06 Yeah, I think, you know what, if you get a nice enough prosecco, it tastes near the same.
33:18 Speaker 05 I like prosecco, but I don't like it in the same way as I like champagne. But I feel you can drink it without guilt.
33:26 Speaker 06 Yeah, it goes down very easily.
33:27 Speaker 05 It's easy.
33:28 Jessie Ware? So we've got prosecco, fifteen bottles of prosecco.
33:30 Speaker 06 Yeah, prosecco, bottle of milk, oh god, red pepper that's gone off, um, some eggs.
33:38 Speaker 05 What do you put your milk in? You don't like tea.
33:40 Speaker 06 My coffee.
33:41 Speaker 05 Your coffee.
33:42 Speaker 06 Love a coffee.
33:42 Jessie Ware? How do you take your coffee?
33:43 Speaker 06 Dead grown up at the minute, just a nice latte. Oh.
33:47 Jessie Ware? Do you make it at home?
33:48 Speaker 06 Yeah, and I feel, honestly, I don't ever get that feeling, but it makes me feel better than everyone else, knowing I don't have to put anything in it.
33:54 Jessie Ware? Do you have a stirrer, like on TikTok when they do their like college and iced latte in the morning and get ready, don't they? Maybe that's the next step, Charlie.
34:01 Speaker 06 I know, maybe move it up a bit. Um, that's probably it. I think because I'm here, there and everywhere, I don't.
34:07 Jessie Ware? Not really any food?
34:08 Speaker 06 No.
34:08 Speaker 05 Jessie's just may taken a, nearly taken her finger off with a mandolin.
34:12 Jessie Ware? I really am.
34:13 Speaker 05 It will not be her most treasured kitchen instrument. Which do you have in your kitchen you can't live without? A piece of equipment?
34:20 Jessie Ware? Bottle of it, open it.
34:24 Speaker 06 Oh, my cheese grater. Love a cheese grater.
34:27 Jessie Ware? Too soon to talk about grating.
34:28 Speaker 06 Oh, sorry.
34:31 Speaker 06 No, a cheese grater.
34:32 Speaker 05 Is that to go on your baked potatoes with your beans?
34:34 Speaker 06 Yeah.
34:35 Speaker 05 Okay.
34:35 Speaker 06 That's one thing. I think like, you know, those like money saving tips that never leave you. It's like never buy pre-grated cheese.
34:42 Speaker 05 Why?
34:42 Speaker 06 Because it's always got that, it's expensive and it's always got that horrible plasticky film on it.
34:46 Jessie Ware? Happy.
34:47 Speaker 06 It's like minging, yeah. Always grated cheese.
34:50 Speaker 05 Okay.
34:51 Jessie Ware? And what is your comfort food?
34:54 Speaker 06 Oh, maybe my mum's spag bol. No, maybe, no, my mum's steak, steak pie.
35:00 Speaker 05 Steak pie.
35:01 Speaker 06 Loads of gravy on. Roast potatoes.
35:04 Jessie Ware? Can I ask you a nostalgic taste that can transport you back somewhere?
35:10 Speaker 06 Oh, it was, um, when we lived in Cyprus, there used to be this like berry drink called Energy Five. And I don't know if they still do it, but I remember drinking that and it would always make me think of like when I was little.
35:20 Jessie Ware? Was that something that you'd like, think is kind of good for you?
35:24 Speaker 06 Yeah, and then it turns out there's like twenty grams of sugar.
35:26 Jessie Ware? Yeah, I think they do it in Greece too, like those fruit juice drinks. And that reminds you of being in Cyprus. Was it a happy time in Cyprus?
35:34 Speaker 06 Yeah, it was lovely.
35:35 Speaker 05 Have you been back since you've been a grown up?
35:37 Speaker 06 I went when I was thir- oh, you know, I did, I went, um, a couple of years ago, but to Pathos, but we didn't live there. I think, you know what, it was, I found that it's, it was very sheltered because you couldn't get a house. Unless you were a squaddie or unless you were married. So then when we moved back to the UK, I had a big culture shock because loads of kids at school, their mums and dads were divorced. And they were like, oh, I love it because my mommy and daddy, I get two sets of presents. And I was like, eleven year old, like.
36:06 Jessie Ware? You're in a fucking broken home. I was like, what is going on?
36:11 Speaker 06 And like, I couldn't, I couldn't believe it. And obviously now like, look mate, I am obviously accepting of people. Who come went like, if their mums and dads are divorced or whatever, the parent situation out, but. Yeah, I couldn't believe it. I was, I felt like I'd come back to the UK and I was on Mars. It felt so rogue.
36:27 Speaker 05 Do you ever do karaoke?
36:30 Speaker 06 I do occasionally.
36:31 Speaker 05 Which song would it be?
36:32 Speaker 06 Midnight Train to Georgia by Gladys and the Pigs.
36:34 Jessie Ware? I can imagine you absolutely smacking that.
36:37 Speaker 06 I'd love that, yeah. That's a bit of me.
36:38 Jessie Ware? That wheeze.
36:42 Speaker 06 But the good thing is that the wheeze doesn't go either.
36:44 Jessie Ware? It's much better than mighty hootlebird.
36:46 Speaker 06 This wheeze is permanent. Don't I.
36:48 Jessie Ware? You have real clarity in your voice considering you've got such a deep wheeze.
36:51 Speaker 06 Do you think? Thank you much.
36:53 Jessie Ware? Yeah. Charlie Marlowe, thank you for coming down to London, for being just gorgeous. Didn't I tell you you'd love her?

37:01 Speaker 05 No, I'm not darling. No, I'm not darling.

37:06 Speaker 05 It's fine.
37:07 Speaker 06 Yeah, God.
37:08 Jessie Ware? You're brilliant and I can't wait to see you on more, more and more, more, more screens.
37:11 Speaker 05 Do you worry about what you're wearing when you're doing TikTok? Do you think, well, I need to put my makeup on or I have to, yeah?
37:18 Speaker 06 No, do a shite, no. Love it, no, yeah. Honestly, I look worse. It's the worst I've ever looked on that app. And I just think, who's that? Because that's my new pet peeve at the minute, you know, when people go, "Oh, I'm sorry for how I look, guys."
37:32 Jessie Ware? Oh, is that a thing?
37:33 Speaker 06 No, stop saying that, yeah.
37:34 Speaker 05 But you're so pretty and gorgeous. No, you are. A sweet, gorgeous little face.
37:40 Speaker 06 Thank you.
37:41 Speaker 05 And the best smile. Yeah.

37:46 Speaker 06 Three more weeks. Yeah, three more weeks and they're off.
37:49 Speaker 05 I can't even see them.
37:50 Speaker 06 See them off in the side.
37:51 Jessie Ware? How long, how many have you got?
37:53 Speaker 06 Oh, I've got these two big freaking belters there. And then I've got some little ones on the teeth.
37:59 Speaker 05 Is it a Manchester dentist?
38:01 Speaker 06 Yeah.
38:02 Speaker 05 Fuck my teeth up.
38:05 Speaker 05 I was wearing up, yeah.

38:26 Jessie Ware? She's gorgeous.
38:28 Speaker 05 Lovely and cuddly and just gorgeous.
38:31 Jessie Ware? And funny and brilliant. And I love that she came down from Manchester to do this and.
38:36 Speaker 05 And brought rosé.
38:37 Jessie Ware? Delicious rosé. And also ate cheesecake when she really didn't want to. So, thank you, Charli Marlowe. We love you.

38:47 Speaker 05 Are you?
38:48 Jessie Ware? Yeah.
38:48 Speaker 05 Maybe you should lie down and have your legs raised.
38:51 Jessie Ware? Why?
38:52 Speaker 05 I don't know. When you feel a bit faint.
38:54 Jessie Ware? I thought you'd watched every medical drama.
38:56 Speaker 05 Well, that's what you do to get the blood back into your thing. I'll ask your brother. Shall I text him?
39:01 Jessie Ware? He'll just say, "Have a parasympathy."
