Live, Laugh, Luke... with Luke Hamnett

Today’s guest is the ICONIC Anastacia! She tells us all about being hairless, how she never warms up before a show, and how Pavarotti doesn’t feature on her new album… because he’s dead. Luke is *quite* insistent that he’ll be the warm up at Wembley, and Anastacia has some great advice on what to do when you forget the words… and it has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the very secret third verse that nobody has ever heard. And also, there’s a special treat on this ep for viewers, Anastacia’s dog Broady, who is the spit of Gail Platt (we’re not joking) Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On Just, Jest, Jan this week we’re talking pride, Harry and Meghan and noisy neighbours. Jan missed out on Pride this year - she’s hoping for an invite in 2027 *hint* And she reckons that Princess Diana would have worked out the rift between Harry and William! Hosted on Acast.

Jan is back for a catch up and this week it’s been a BIG week for anniversaries! It’s Jan and Dave’s 37th wedding anniversary, and Jan bought some sexy lingerie for a saucy night in! Meanwhile Luke and his partner with no name celebrated 10 years together - but did Jan get them a card? No, she did not, but she HAS been buying something… CHRISTMAS PRESENTS(!) And Luke has been at Manchester Pride doing cartwheels in the club with his unhinged pals. So, just a normal weekend then! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Luke & Jan sing Don’t Cha - with some slighty alternative lyrics… And in breaking news - Jan can’t do the splits. Plus, there’s pissy knickers on the log flume and why peeing in the shower is good for the environment. Oh, and Luke was 16 before he got pubes. You’re welcome. Hosted on Acast.

Today’s guest on LLL is the gorgeous and brilliant Kimberly Wyatt! Luke and Kimberly get into all things PCD, from their recent reunion and how that’s brought so much acceptance for Kimberly, to some of their most iconic performances over the years. Plus, she gives Luke the lowdown on AMA’s gossip, what we can expect to see on the PCD tour, and her residency test that included important questions about Wallace & Gromit(!) And of course, there’s a story about the time she gave the stripper on her hen do tips on how to dance better….! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jan and Luke discuss first dates: in particular Jan’s first date with Dave, which wasn’t really a date but she absolutely finessed borrowing a cup of sugar.

It is a hugely incredible week for the Hamnett’s because Jan has rang to bell to signal the end of her cancer treatment! The BEST news!

Plus Jan gets into the detail of changing a type: getting under the shaft, taking nuts off, jacking up, screwing it on. It’s HARD work. There’s a nightmare word game, some bad news about Santa (who’s in a coma, btw) and Luke reminisces about the time he was an Avon mule at school for Jan. Hosted on Acast.

In a rogue and unexplained turn of events, Luke explains the offside rule to Dani, while she fesses up to breaking her parent’s CCTV as a rebel teenager.
