Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:11):
So much you're listening to Amma Mia podcast. Mamma Mia
acknowledges the traditional owners of land and waters that this
podcast is recorded on Good Morning Spillers another days upon
us and with it comes more juicy entertainment news to
get us through the morning. I'm Claire Murphy stepping in
for ash London today. Who's caught one of these bloody

(00:31):
awful winter lurgies that everyone's catching? Bye in her stead.
I'm delighted to get you caught up on everything happening
amongst the stars today. We've got everything from a royal
departure to a glaring pothole that has got fans spiraling
over one of our favorite shows. So here we go,
Let's pour the tea now. It's always a sad day

(00:52):
when you work. Bestie steps down right, and not even
princesses are immune to this trend. Kate Middleton's right hand
woman and close friend, Natasha Archer, has officially resigned after
fifteen years by the Princess of Woweser's side. She started
out as both an assistant to William and Kate, but
has become really close to Kate over the years. This
woman has been credited with helping create Kate's fashion icon status.

(01:15):
She became her unofficial stylist. She's the one who's gotten
the Princess into labels like Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham,
and can claim that she is partly responsible for the
Kate Middleton effect, which is estimated to contribute more than
a billion dollars a year to the UK economy. And
that's when Kate wears an outfit and it sells out
in like literal minutes. She once reportedly joined the Princess

(01:35):
on a five hour hike in Bhutan just in case
she needed an outfit change, and she was the one
who was there with a fresh change of clothes in
a baby seat at the hospital when Prince George arrived too.
She's been by Kate siders, she's gone through her last
year of cancer treatment and was one of the only
people spotted leaving the ward after Kate underwent surgery last year.
So these two like they're beyond work colleagues. They are

(01:57):
irl besties. But despite being known as one of Kate's
most loyal staffers and friends, Tasha decided to fly the
coup set up her own private consultancy. Kate and will
have wished her the very best for the exciting opportunity ahead.
But reading between the lines, folks, that means there's a
new job up for grabs. And I don't know about you,
but I for one will be keeping a lookout on
LinkedIn because surely that's where the Royals find new stuff, right.

(02:21):
Actress Olivia Miners shared some difficult news on Instagram, revealing
that her mom has been diagnosed with breast cancer. Now,
you might remember that Olivia herself revealed her own breast
cancer diagnosis last year after she did was called a
lifetime risk assessment test. Now that prompted her to urge
her mum, Kim, to do the same thing and revealed
that she too has the disease. Now, Olivia is crediting

(02:44):
that test with saving both of their lives. Her mum
has since undergone surgery and twelve rounds of chemo to
battle the disease. She wrote in a caption on Instagram,
from my mom being there after my double mastectomy to
me being there after hers. I can tell you this,
going through cancer is really hard, but there's something about
watching a loved one go through it that is even
more heartbreaking. Stick around because up next, I'm going to

(03:08):
fill you in on which Hollywood heavyweight is just like
us when it comes to keeping tabs with her ex online. Ah,
the accidental double tap on an Insta post. We've all
been there, right, and you've felt that moment of and
then your heart stops, and then it's like instant regret
and a swift double tap to try and rectify your mistake. Well,

(03:30):
even Hollywood stars are not above social media faux pas.
Katie Holmes is one of us. The actress is caught
liking a Daily Mail Insta post about her ex hubby
Tom Cruise. It was on his rumored love affair with
Ana Diamus, a Cuban Spanish actress who's about three decades
his junior. Look. It wasn't long before Katie unliked the post,
but not before fans were spiraling in the comments one joke, lol,

(03:54):
the girl was lurking. Celebs sometimes they're just like us,
stalking and accidentally liking posts about their exes. Now you
know that that woman is on a couch jumping right now,
but it is not from being in love. And finally,
are you up to date with the latest of and
just like that, if you are you might be amongst
the series fans who noticed a glaring plot hole that

(04:16):
has got us questioning whether Trusty Chat GPT might be
having a hand in writing episodes. In the most recent one,
Lisa Todd Wexley aka LTW Charlotte School I'm Bestie is
told her father has passed away suddenly from a stroke. Heartbreaking, yes,
even more so because it seems this is the second
time her dad has died. Loyal series fans jumped to

(04:39):
point out the back in season one, Lisa sympathized with
Carrie's reaction to Biggs passing by saying, I was exactly
the same when my father died last year, and some
cheeky fans are now suggesting the show should lean into
this and make it like and just like that Law
and just start killing Lisa's dad off every season. Thanks
so much for tuning into Morning Tea today. Don't forget
