Christmas is officially round the corner and Carms has convinced Laura to put her decorations up early. And look, they might say “the earlier the decs go up, the sooner you can crack open the Baileys”… do they say that? You decide.

But even festive cheer can’t compete with the true highlight of the week: bumping into James ARG Argent from TOWIE in the pub. Yes, really. And he’s a huge fan of Laura (much to her delight).

In this episode, Laura questions whether she could ever swap her life for Essex living, Carmen shares a brand-new hairy arm saga, and the pair investigate a very serious (and very gourmet) crime: a langoustine theft in London. No seafood is safe.

Plus, the age you officially become an adult has finally been revealed - and unsurprisingly, Laura and Carmen have many thoughts.

Expect laughter, oversharing, and the kind of stories you probably “shouldn’t laugh but…” absolutely will.
