O Holy can speak to royal makeup?
Speaker 2 (02:58):
Yeah, and she had royal makeup.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well actually Lysia or Alisha who used to on the project.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
She did my make up in London. Now, yeah, when
I went to interview Madonna, she did my makeup.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
This is not interesting, This is not interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
She interviews she she's a personal makeup as a bizarre

But not be interested makeup the one that needs it.
Eugenie always so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah. So anyway, she did a holy smoke up on
the Connection and yeah, so my singer got to know
Mao was friends with her vaping face in.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Your vaping face, Why is that pertinent? Because you two
would vape.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Together, Scary spices would vape.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
She was a smoker. She's smoking smoke.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know, even back in the day, the Spice Girl songs,
back back back when you could even tell she was
a smoker. Back then, Melby always did the logo because
the voice is like, that was good. You want to
come to me wedding, the low harmony.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, I'm doing really good her impersonation.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So you become buddies having puffs, buddies having paths, went
to the SCG the footy together, my.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Son and the couple of had a date with her.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
They went to see Hamilton together with her kids and
our kids.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Right, But it was who doesn't like Holly? Yeah, I
mean everybody loves Holly. But here's the thing. It wasn't
always smooth sailing, Hugh, because you got to save the
date for the wedding and then you heard nothing further,
(04:57):
what nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Nothing further. She wouldn't answer a message her a couple
of times, but no response. So the savor day of
the wedding was unbelievable because we actually were in London
at that time, like we'd already booked a holiday to London,
so we didn't come over specifically, and.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
She still wouldn't invite you.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, you happen to be.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
The invite she had invited. She didn't know we were
coming to London. She had no idea, so it was
just synchronicity.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Did she also not know that you were coming to
her wedding?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No? Look, look I went into the jungle thinking I
haven't had the final invite. I got out of the
jungle and then I went through my old emails and
saw the final spam.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
She saw an email and spam. Scary Spice at gmail
dot com has emailed Wow, there was a wedding.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Plan, actually her wedding plant saying what's your address? We
need to send you an invite. Gave the address out,
invite never turned up, and then we went to London
thinking we weren't going to the wedding. So you know,
we might have gone past and watched them. But then
last week another email turned up. I think they changed
(06:10):
wedding planners, changed wedding plan and someone can no one
Well maybe I don't know, maybe, but.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Whatever, he loves to neg Hey. You the one thing
you need to know about Valvo he loves He's a
big negger.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh yeah, I'm going to neg husy for going to
Malby's wedding uninvited.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I was were on the list so yeah, what list
They do not allow entry list.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Now, there was a list of Saint Paul, so we
could have gone right to the door and been rejected.
But so there was there. Our name was there.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But hang on you when we were going together to
the Project final party, you were leaving the next morning
for London, but you didn't mention the wedding then because
you thought it wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, that's true. I didn't. I didn't think it was
going to happen. No one would respond to any of
our anybody, so it was only like it was only
three days before the wedding. But an email popped in saying,
you know, just for final details. And then I emailed
back and they said, yeah, they never sent any physical
They didn't send any physical invite.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So, Hughsy, can I just say this is the difference
between me and my podcast host. I could not give
a fuck about this exchange. I want to know what
spice girls were there. I want to know what celebrities
were there.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You don't want to talk.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
About your spam folder. Yeah, and Kate text before, by
the way, goes what went to his wedding? So anyway, Hughsy,
who was there, name name name.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, baby Spice actually walked into the into Saint Paul's
before us. We had no idea who it was, like
one hundred behind it, one hundred papparaarts like taking photos
of her. And then I realized, I think I really
might have realized his baby Spice. And then we went
past and I was so like, what assholes? All put
their cameras down, no one talking, really.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Shat me, not even with your beautiful one wife.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I know she was a hot stick there anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Hey, I know, I know Valvo doesn't like the details,
but how did hollywife pull together such a stunning out fit?
She had a hat and everything. How did she do that?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
It was last minute, last minute? Yeah, good question. She
actually got that book that online. She had two dresses,
one online.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And got them delivered to the.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Hotel, delivered a hotel and it didn't and we weren't
at the hotel, so it got sent away from the hotel.
And then she went out and bought another grass and
then it came and then the other one came to
the hotel and we wanted her to put the yellow
one on, but he said it was She was worried
it was yellow, you look.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Great, stunning.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
We love Holly.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But how was the bride back to the Celabs?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
No other Spice girls.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
No other Spice girls. Emma Button was there with her
son and her husband.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, what about Ginger? Have we got bad blood? Is
there some bad blood with Ginger?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well? I know this Ginger years ago came out and
Melby said in Appears Morgan interview that he gave that
had a sexual.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Affair and I thought they'd made up.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Apparently.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Did you ask her about that in your emails in
your wedding speech?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I know, No, you're you're and you're getting as much
information from me from Daily Mail about that, So yeah,
I agree. She wasn't there. There wasn't that many big
stars that I knew.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Because the English had got a whole Chaddy Man.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
You know the guy does these Alan, he was there,
he was after that. He was hitting on Holy but
I was he's gay, isn't your souls?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And he's oh, I mean, is the gayest person on
the earth?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
He was What do you mean he.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Was hitting on Holly?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
He just kept wanting to talk to Holly with it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Alan, He's gorgeous and one of the nicest people i've
ever met. We met in Sydney a couple of years ago.
Hugh's at the JFL festival. Oh what sorry, sorry back
to emails.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So cute. So you arrived here at that You're at
Saint Paul's Cathedral ballot.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
To be honest, Yeah, And I tried to go, like
we're getting led into the cathedral and I was going
to go through the barriers because I thought there must
be it was in the big room, you know, with
a few feelings.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, but it's in the small chant.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
So I went. I was on a side chapel, but
still amazing. But yeah, it was like in a smaller room.
There's probably two hundred people there, maybe maybe more. It
was everyone looked good. It was an older crowd generally.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hang on to me, yeah, hang on. So when they
did their bows and she wore full white, yeah yeah,
they did.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Half an hour, Like honestly, we thought, yeah, well, I
was thinking she's jilting him. He's up there and he's
kilt and she's not turning up, and and that was
going to be the story. I was there when when
Melbury didn't turn up.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What's what's his name, Rory.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
He's with a family friend and became a hairdresser and
they just fell in love over time.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
He came out, I think, and then he said I
love you too.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Mel got caught in bed by his mom or sorry
they did because family friends. Yeah, yeah, but it was
growing up. It was you yeah, yeah, was an adult. Yeah,
but they didn't realize someone's mom didn't realize there an item.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Male's mom.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I can't remember her mum. Or he's my one of their.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Moms, okay, in the final, the final question, he's a
lovely guy. At any point during we haven't got to
thet you asked so many questions, Kate. If we just
want the good stuff right? Yeah? Okay, did at any
point of the night did she dance to a Spice
Girl's song?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Oh I'm going to say no, no, but the priest
in the reception, in the high priest or whatever. The
boss of that cathedral is St. Paul, So like that
is that Anglican heavy hitter? Yeah, a heavy hitter in
the of course, the Anglican mate, it was Anglican Church
of England. Yeah, I think so, Yeah, the Church of England. Mate,
(12:51):
that's true.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I would think Males. I would have thought she could
be Catholic.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Might be, but you've got an O B E. And
that's why she was allowed to have a wedding an
Order of British Empire. You can't have your wedding there.
That's how she was allowed to do. It.

the words he says. He used a spy schools line.

Yeah, and she had royal makeup.
Speaker 3 (03:01):
Well actually Lysia or Alisha who used to on the project.
Speaker 2 (03:06):
She did my make up in London. Now, yeah, when
I went to interview Madonna, she did my makeup.
Speaker 1 (03:12):
This is not interesting, This is not interesting to me.
Speaker 3 (03:16):
She interviews she she's a personal makeup as a bizarre
someone or other, Princess Ann's daughter, Princess.
Speaker 2 (03:23):
Hans daughter who's married to Mike, Mike the brothers.
Speaker 1 (03:27):
Yeah, this is fun.
Speaker 3 (03:30):
She does. She does Eugenie's makeup, Jeanie someone.
Speaker 2 (03:34):
But not be interested makeup the one that needs it.
Eugenie always so beautiful.
Speaker 3 (03:42):
Yeah. So anyway, she did a holy smoke up on
the Connection and yeah, so my singer got to know
Mao was friends with her vaping face in.
Speaker 2 (03:52):
Your vaping face, Why is that pertinent? Because you two
would vape.
Speaker 1 (03:56):
Together, Scary spices would vape.
Speaker 3 (03:57):
She was a smoker. She's smoking smoke.
Speaker 1 (04:01):
You know, even back in the day, the Spice Girl songs,
back back back when you could even tell she was
a smoker. Back then, Melby always did the logo because
the voice is like, that was good. You want to
come to me wedding, the low harmony.
Speaker 2 (04:18):
Yeah, I'm doing really good her impersonation.
Speaker 1 (04:20):
So you become buddies having puffs, buddies having paths, went
to the SCG the footy together, my.
Speaker 2 (04:29):
Son and the couple of had a date with her.
Speaker 3 (04:33):
They went to see Hamilton together with her kids and
our kids.
Speaker 2 (04:37):
Right, But it was who doesn't like Holly? Yeah, I
mean everybody loves Holly. But here's the thing. It wasn't
always smooth sailing, Hugh, because you got to save the
date for the wedding and then you heard nothing further,
(04:57):
what nothing.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
Nothing further. She wouldn't answer a message her a couple
of times, but no response. So the savor day of
the wedding was unbelievable because we actually were in London
at that time, like we'd already booked a holiday to London,
so we didn't come over specifically, and.
Speaker 1 (05:16):
She still wouldn't invite you.
Speaker 2 (05:17):
Yeah, you happen to be.
Speaker 3 (05:19):
The invite she had invited. She didn't know we were
coming to London. She had no idea, so it was
just synchronicity.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Did she also not know that you were coming to
her wedding?
Speaker 3 (05:29):
No? Look, look I went into the jungle thinking I
haven't had the final invite. I got out of the
jungle and then I went through my old emails and
saw the final spam.
Speaker 1 (05:42):
She saw an email and spam. Scary Spice at gmail
dot com has emailed Wow, there was a wedding.
Speaker 3 (05:50):
Plan, actually her wedding plant saying what's your address? We
need to send you an invite. Gave the address out,
invite never turned up, and then we went to London
thinking we weren't going to the wedding. So you know,
we might have gone past and watched them. But then
last week another email turned up. I think they changed
(06:10):
wedding planners, changed wedding plan and someone can no one
Well maybe I don't know, maybe, but.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Whatever, he loves to neg Hey. You the one thing
you need to know about Valvo he loves He's a
big negger.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
Oh yeah, I'm going to neg husy for going to
Malby's wedding uninvited.
Speaker 2 (06:33):
I was were on the list so yeah, what list
They do not allow entry list.
Speaker 3 (06:41):
Now, there was a list of Saint Paul, so we
could have gone right to the door and been rejected.
But so there was there. Our name was there.
Speaker 2 (06:48):
But hang on you when we were going together to
the Project final party, you were leaving the next morning
for London, but you didn't mention the wedding then because
you thought it wasn't going to happen.
Speaker 3 (07:02):
Yeah, that's true. I didn't. I didn't think it was
going to happen. No one would respond to any of
our anybody, so it was only like it was only
three days before the wedding. But an email popped in saying,
you know, just for final details. And then I emailed
back and they said, yeah, they never sent any physical
They didn't send any physical invite.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
So, Hughsy, can I just say this is the difference
between me and my podcast host. I could not give
a fuck about this exchange. I want to know what
spice girls were there. I want to know what celebrities
were there.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
You don't want to talk.
Speaker 1 (07:35):
About your spam folder. Yeah, and Kate text before, by
the way, goes what went to his wedding? So anyway, Hughsy,
who was there, name name name.
Speaker 3 (07:49):
Well, baby Spice actually walked into the into Saint Paul's
before us. We had no idea who it was, like
one hundred behind it, one hundred papparaarts like taking photos
of her. And then I realized, I think I really
might have realized his baby Spice. And then we went
past and I was so like, what assholes? All put
their cameras down, no one talking, really.
Speaker 2 (08:12):
Shat me, not even with your beautiful one wife.
Speaker 3 (08:15):
I know she was a hot stick there anyway.
Speaker 2 (08:18):
Hey, I know, I know Valvo doesn't like the details,
but how did hollywife pull together such a stunning out fit?
She had a hat and everything. How did she do that?
Speaker 3 (08:30):
It was last minute, last minute? Yeah, good question. She
actually got that book that online. She had two dresses,
one online.
Speaker 2 (08:42):
And got them delivered to the.
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Hotel, delivered a hotel and it didn't and we weren't
at the hotel, so it got sent away from the hotel.
And then she went out and bought another grass and
then it came and then the other one came to
the hotel and we wanted her to put the yellow
one on, but he said it was She was worried
it was yellow, you look.
Speaker 2 (09:00):
Great, stunning.
Speaker 1 (09:02):
We love Holly.
Speaker 2 (09:03):
But how was the bride back to the Celabs?
Speaker 1 (09:06):
No other Spice girls.
Speaker 3 (09:09):
No other Spice girls. Emma Button was there with her
son and her husband.
Speaker 2 (09:14):
Yeah, what about Ginger? Have we got bad blood? Is
there some bad blood with Ginger?
Speaker 1 (09:19):
Well? I know this Ginger years ago came out and
Melby said in Appears Morgan interview that he gave that
had a sexual.
Speaker 2 (09:27):
Affair and I thought they'd made up.
Speaker 1 (09:29):
Apparently.
Speaker 2 (09:30):
Did you ask her about that in your emails in
your wedding speech?
Speaker 3 (09:35):
I know, No, you're you're and you're getting as much
information from me from Daily Mail about that, So yeah,
I agree. She wasn't there. There wasn't that many big
stars that I knew.
Speaker 2 (09:46):
Because the English had got a whole Chaddy Man.
Speaker 3 (09:49):
You know the guy does these Alan, he was there,
he was after that. He was hitting on Holy but
I was he's gay, isn't your souls?
Speaker 1 (09:58):
And he's oh, I mean, is the gayest person on
the earth?
Speaker 3 (10:05):
He was What do you mean he.
Speaker 2 (10:06):
Was hitting on Holly?
Speaker 3 (10:09):
He just kept wanting to talk to Holly with it.
Speaker 1 (10:12):
Alan, He's gorgeous and one of the nicest people i've
ever met. We met in Sydney a couple of years ago.
Hugh's at the JFL festival. Oh what sorry, sorry back
to emails.
Speaker 2 (10:26):
So cute. So you arrived here at that You're at
Saint Paul's Cathedral ballot.
Speaker 3 (10:33):
To be honest, Yeah, And I tried to go, like
we're getting led into the cathedral and I was going
to go through the barriers because I thought there must
be it was in the big room, you know, with
a few feelings.
Speaker 2 (10:45):
Yeah, but it's in the small chant.
Speaker 3 (10:47):
So I went. I was on a side chapel, but
still amazing. But yeah, it was like in a smaller room.
There's probably two hundred people there, maybe maybe more. It
was everyone looked good. It was an older crowd generally.
Speaker 2 (11:06):
Hang on to me, yeah, hang on. So when they
did their bows and she wore full white, yeah yeah,
they did.
Speaker 3 (11:15):
Half an hour, Like honestly, we thought, yeah, well, I
was thinking she's jilting him. He's up there and he's
kilt and she's not turning up, and and that was
going to be the story. I was there when when
Melbury didn't turn up.
Speaker 1 (11:29):
What's what's his name, Rory.
Speaker 3 (11:33):
He's with a family friend and became a hairdresser and
they just fell in love over time.
Speaker 2 (11:40):
He came out, I think, and then he said I
love you too.
Speaker 3 (11:46):
Mel got caught in bed by his mom or sorry
they did because family friends. Yeah, yeah, but it was
growing up. It was you yeah, yeah, was an adult. Yeah,
but they didn't realize someone's mom didn't realize there an item.
Speaker 2 (12:07):
Male's mom.
Speaker 3 (12:10):
I can't remember her mum. Or he's my one of their.
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Moms, okay, in the final, the final question, he's a
lovely guy. At any point during we haven't got to
thet you asked so many questions, Kate. If we just
want the good stuff right? Yeah? Okay, did at any
point of the night did she dance to a Spice
Girl's song?
Speaker 3 (12:28):
Oh I'm going to say no, no, but the priest
in the reception, in the high priest or whatever. The
boss of that cathedral is St. Paul, So like that
is that Anglican heavy hitter? Yeah, a heavy hitter in
the of course, the Anglican mate, it was Anglican Church
of England. Yeah, I think so, Yeah, the Church of England. Mate,
(12:51):
that's true.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
I would think Males. I would have thought she could
be Catholic.
Speaker 3 (12:56):
Might be, but you've got an O B E. And
that's why she was allowed to have a wedding an
Order of British Empire. You can't have your wedding there.
That's how she was allowed to do. It.
Speaker 1 (13:04):
All checks out and then he yeah.
Speaker 3 (13:07):
He played he in the in the in the whatever
the words he says. He used a spy schools line.

a spy school No.
Speaker 3 (13:40):
