On her Sex and the City co-stars: “We’ve never been friends.”
Turning down SATC 3: “I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects, to be thought of as some kind of diva is absolutely ridiculous.”
On her love-life: “I never made it a priority. I put work before them.”
Hollywood actress Kim Cattrall spoke to John Carter's Life Stories about turning down Sex and the City 3, her relationship with the SATC cast, her struggle with insomnia and how her career has affected her love life.
In the candid interview with John Carter which airs tonight [Monday 22nd October] Kim also spoke about considering IVF, meeting President Donald Trump, her fondness for Steven Gerrard and her most embarrassing moment during a sex scene.
Kim on Liverpool
Kim was born in Liverpool but her family moved to Canada when she was a baby. On whether she considered herself a Liverpudlian, Kim said: “Proudly a Liverpudlian, yes. Always have, always have been.”
She also revealed that her Aunt used to babysit for one of The Beatles. She said: “Yes one of the famous drummers in the world, Ringo Starr. They were in the Dingle, that’s Toxteth, that’s where they lived and she was a young gal looking for babysitting money and that’s how that happened.”
Kim, who supports Liverpool Football Club, also spoke of meeting former player Steven Gerrard: “He was really lovely. I did a play in Liverpool in 2011 at the Liverpool Playhouse, it was sort of a dream of mine. But he came to see the play, it wasn’t an easy play, it’s Antony and Cleopatra, Shakespeare, for over three hours long. But he came backstage and he came out for drinks with the cast afterwards and it was just, he was so generous, so down-to-earth.”
On her on-screen sex scenes
John asked Kim if she’d ever had any embarrassing moments during a sex scene. “Yes sadly. I was working with an actor and we were doing the scene and he is on top of me and then he collapsed and then he farted, and I thought, ‘is this an acting choice he has made?’ I didn’t really understand what was going on. And what had happened was he had been working out so much and so frantically, and had been on a diet, he had forgotten to eat and when he fell on me he passed out.” She added: “It was pretty gross.”
On turning down the role of Samantha Jones
Asked whether it was true that she had originally turned down the role of Samantha Jones in Sex and the City three times, she said: “I did. I think I was scared. I think that at 41 I didn’t know if I could pull it off. I just felt I didn’t want to put myself out there and be ridiculed. And 40 now seems so young but then, there is ageism everywhere, not just in Hollywood and this sort of thing about being an older woman and preying on younger men. I thought I don’t want that tied around my neck but I found a way in and this way in was about self-empowerment about not just saying yes or no and making your life about a man, it was yes or no about you making decisions, about your life.”
On President Donald Trump
Donald Trump had a cameo in SATC before becoming President. John asked Kim what her memories were of him. “He didn’t want anyone to touch his hair. He did his own make-up which was decidedly orange, it’s true. It hasn’t been enhanced, that’s Donald. And we were shooting at the Plaza [Hotel] and he owned the Plaza at the time, and part of the deal with shooting in the Plaza was he had to be in it. He wasn’t supposed to say a line because if you are sort of basically an extra you get paid a certain amount but if you say a line you get more money and of course he said a line.”
John said: “I can't imagine, knowing Donald Trump as I do, that he would be in the same room as you for very long without suggesting that maybe you…”
Kim replied: “Never”
When John asked whether Trump hadn’t even tried, Kim said: “I think I'm too smart for him actually. He knows he wouldn’t have a chance.”
On work and romantic relationships
On whether her work and ambition had impacted on her private life, Kim said: “Hugely. I look back and I think, you know, at the time, there would also be enough time to spend, especially in my relationships, with my partner and there never was, and I never made it a priority. I put work before them.”
Asked whether she regretted doing that, she said: “I remember specifically with my husband Andreas [Lyson, her second husband]. He was offering both of us a wonderful life together but I was just too young.”
On considering IVF
Kim also spoke about her experience of considering IVF with her third husband Mark [Levinson]. “That was my early 40s and I had just started filming Sex and the City, the chances of getting pregnant with these procedures was, everyone was talking about it. But I thought to myself, ‘wow I have 19 hour days on this series, I have weekends where I finish at Saturday morning. My Monday morning would start at 4.45am and go to one or two in the morning. How could I possible continue to do that, especially in my early 40s?’ And then I realised what a commitment it was just to the procedures. I thought I don’t think this is going to happen. It was the first moment, it was extraordinary, in my life where I thought maybe I’m just not going to do this.”
When asked whether she felt maternal, Kim said: “Yes I think it’s part of being a woman to have that. But obviously fate, timing, luck, destiny, I don’t know, and that’s when I started mentoring young actresses, in particular, that’s where I thought I have a place to be a mom here, not a biological mom but a mom and an auntie and a friend. And that has really given me so much, as much as I give I get two-fold back.”
On having insomnia
A few years after Kim’s father died in 2013, she began experiencing insomnia whilst working in the West End. Speaking about this difficult time she said: “It was like a 250 pound gorilla was sitting on my chest. I couldn’t get it off me. It was always around three o’clock [in the morning] and of course I was awake so I thought, ‘I’m awake I may as well work’. I had like an overload going on, I didn’t know how to turn it off. It was almost a feeling of, if I slept, I would have to deal with, I think the grief underneath it, of not coming to terms intellectually with my dad passing but the emotional loss of that. I literally hit a wall, hit a cement wall.”
Kim on SATC and turning down SATC 3
John asked if there would ever be any more Sex and the City. “Not for me. That was part of turning 60. That was a very clear moment of, how many years do I have left and what do I want to do it, what haven’t I done. I feel that the show is the best when it was the series and the bonus was the two movies.”
When John asked Kim if she had been tempted by Sex and the City 3 and whether it was true that filming had got quite far down the line but she had become an “impossible diva making terrible demands”, Kim said: “I remember so clearly making that decision. Last December I got a phone call and it was concerning that and I knew exactly, I could feel it, and the answer was simply, ‘thank you but no, I’m good’.
She continued: “December 2017 I said no. This isn’t about more money, it’s not about more scenes, it’s not about any of those things. This is about a clear decision, an empowered decision in my life, to end one chapter and start another. I’m 61. It’s now. The other girls are 10 years younger than me, you know, and that is their choice.”
On whether her co-stars thought she was negotiating, Kim said: “The answer was always no and a respectful, firm, no. It’s a great part. I played it past the finish line and then some and I loved it and another actress should play it, maybe they could make it an African-American Samantha Jones or a Hispanic Samantha Jones, or bring in another character. I wish them the best. I will be the one in the audience cheering them on.”
John asked Kim whether she had “never really got on” with her SATC co-stars: “We’ve never been friends. We‘ve been colleagues and in some ways it’s a very healthy place to be because then you have a clear line between your professional life and relationship and your personal.”
She continued: “To get any kind of negative press about something that I’ve been saying for almost a year of ‘no’ that I’m demanding or a diva, and this is really where I take to task the people from Sex and the City and specifically Sarah Jessica Parker is that I think she could have been nicer. I really think she could have been nicer. I don’t know what her issue is.
“I think the thing that still bothers me is this feeling of being in some way made to be the baddie. I never asked for any money, I never asked for any projects, to be thought of as some kind of diva is absolutely ridiculous.”
Asked whether she was friends with any of her SATC co-stars, Kim said: “They all have children and I am ten years older and since specifically the series ended I have been spending most of my time outside of New York so I don’t see them. The common ground that we had was the series and the series is over.”
Kim also revealed she didn’t know when she had spoken to her former co-stars last: “It must have been at some event, I don't even remember.”
John inquired if it was years ago, she said: “Got to be. And that’s another thing that’s really disappointing is that nobody ever picks up the phone and tries to contact you and say, ‘how you doing?’ That would have been the way to handle it. And usually what happens in a healthy relationship is that someone, or a transaction for a job in my business, is that someone says, ‘are you available?’ and you say ‘yes and here’s the job’ and you say ‘yes but thank you very much I’m sort of over here right now but thank you very much’ and that person turns to you and they say ‘that's great, good luck to you, I wish you the best’. That’s not what happened here, this is, it feels like a toxic relationship.”
When John joked she had killed Samantha, she smiled: “I haven’t killed Samantha, I have released Samantha.”
John then pushed Kim to clarify whether Samantha Jones would ever reappear, Kim said: “I swear, she will never reappear. Me playing her is definitely, that I can assure you will never happen. For me it’s over, and it’s over with no regrets. I just wish that Sarah [Jessica Parker] had been nicer.”
When John said people would probably be quite saddened to hear Kim confirm rumours that she didn’t get on with her co-stars, Kim replied: “This is the irony of it, this is where we are in the reality of it. And that was the fantasy of it but this is the reality of it. I’m being incredibly honest about them.”
Questioned on whether she would ever talk to Sarah Jessica Parker again, Kim said: “I don’t think that we’re faking it. I think there is genuine affection and there has been over the years. This is extenuating circumstances and in the past I’ve felt, wow, especially with the fans I don’t want to in any shape or form ruin an ideal of it, because it does stand for empowerment and it does stand for women sticking up for each other, but not always.”
Kim on her present relationship
On her current love life, Kim explained how she met her boyfriend: “Russell [Thomas] and I met at the R4, he was working at the R4 and we liked each other. He followed me and I followed him on Twitter, he direct messaged me. It was very, very modern it’s just been very easy.”
Asked whether she was in love: “Yeah, it’s real good, it’s real good. He’s a great guy.”Kim Cattrall: Kim Cattrall explains her reasons for turning down Sex and the City 3, and revealing her relationship with the other cast members following rumoured feuds.*brand new one-off-documentary A Very Royal Wedding hosted by Alexander Armstrong airs on next Monday (29th,October,2018) at 9:00pm-10:10pm.

22:45-23:20 brand new series.11/20.After the News.(Series 1).After The News
This new live topical discussion programme for TV3 debates Britain’s biggest talking points with a range of high-profile guests from news, politics, and popular culture.
Hosted separately five nights a week by broadcasters Emma Barnett and Nick Ferrari, they will be joined for the duration of the 30-minute programme by two guests with passionately-held and differing views for a lively and combative discussion on a range of stories and issues.
The programme aims to be the last word on the major talking points of the day and to combine them with fresh insights into the next morning’s big stories, taking perspectives from social media to fuel the conversation in the studio.
Guests lined up to appear on the show include Nigel Farage, Alastair Campbell, Ann Widdecombe, Nick Clegg, Nicky Morgan, Jason Isaacs, Shami Chakrabarti, Chuka Umunna, Quentin Letts, Julia Hartley-Brewer, and Alex Salmond.
Depending on the news agenda, the panel may be joined by an additional interviewee or contributor who is at the heart of a major news story, and the programme will make room for single interviews on particularly high-profile topics.
Emma, who hosts her own show on Radio 5 live, will present every Tuesday and Friday night, while LBC host Nick will front the show on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The pair will alternate on Mondays.
Emma Barnett said: “News has never been so newsworthy - which is ironic in an era when we've got more access to the hard stuff than ever before. I love being in the middle of the day's biggest issues and separating truth from spin. I look forward to getting going with this new late night news show. So bring it on."
Nick Ferrari said: "With everything from the recent terror attacks, to the complexities of Brexit and even the horror of one of the worst peacetime disasters in history with the Grenfell tragedy, rarely has the news agenda been so compelling and ever-changing. This show seeks to reflect that."
Executive producer Ian Rumsey, Head of Topical Programmes, ITN Productions said: “We’re aiming to go behind the headlines every night – and also bring some of the next day’s big stories forward. We won’t just be sticking simply to the news agenda, our programme will also focus on many of the other things that Britain is really talking about that day.”
23:20-00:25 (Repeat) brand new series.8/12.The Jonathan Ross Show.(Series 12).This week Jonathan is joined by record-breaking multi-platinum selling artist Ed Sheeran, celebrated celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay, and chart-topping singer Rita Ora who chats and performs in the studio.

RUSSELL HOWARD on being mistaken for Ellen Degeneres
On this week’s episode of The Jonathan Ross Show - which airs Saturday night on TV3 - Jonathan is joined by award-winning artist, Ed Sheeran; Celebrity chef, Gordon Ramsay; singer and actress, Rita Ora who chats and performs; and comedian, Russell Howard.
In his first sit down interview since his recent bicycle crash, the Brit and Grammy award winning performer, Ed Sheeran, spoke to Jonathan about the accident which has seen him cancel performances on his upcoming tour.
On breaking both arms in different places, he said: “I broke my wrist, my elbow and my rib. I came off a bike quite fast, a bicycle, a pedal bike. I was in Suffolk [going down a really steep hill]. The thing is, when it happened, I got up and was like, ‘That hurt’ and then cycled to the pub. Went home, went to sleep and then woke up at five o’clock in the morning in a lot of pain. And then went to the hospital.”
He joked that he had drunk Adnams in the pub which had seemingly detracted from the pain he must have been in after the crash.
He added: “I was with a few people. They didn’t even see the fall, they were really far in front of me. It wasn’t my bike and it was brand new brakes. I was borrowing the bike.”
He said this is the first time he has had to cancel gigs because of something affecting him directly: “I do a one man show so me not having my arms is half of the show, so I’ve had to postpone a couple of shows which sucks. It’s actually the first time I’ve ever cancelled shows… Sometimes a show has been cancelled because a promoter has done something but it’s the first time that I’ve ever actually cancelled a show.”
He said he would have wanted to try and avoid postponing the gigs but it might have affected his long term ability and career: “I did try to be like ‘I will.’ I tried to say I’ll carry on doing the shows but they said if I put any more stress on it, I might not be able to play [guitar] again so it’s good to be sensible.”
On his recovery, he said: “They are saying four weeks and then we’ll look at it.”
He admitted he didn’t wear a helmet or pads when he crashed and added: “I don’t think I’m going to cycle for a while. I’ve got quite a big tour next year.”
“There have been so many times when I’ve been in situations where I’ve been like ‘I’m going to break a bone here’ and I never have. Just before this, I shot a music video where I skied in the music video and I’m not a very good skier, I’ve only skied a couple of times. I was like, ‘Sod’s law, I’ll probably break my arm’ and then I didn’t. And then got home and then a day later did so it was probably bound to happen at some point.”
On whether he is accident prone, he said: “I’m quite a clumsy guy anyway… It’s come more since I’ve found success because I think I’m a bit more [shrugs his shoulders]. I remember before a show in 2013 I had to have 12 stitches in my hand because I was playing drums with two beer bottles at about four o’clock in the morning and smashed my hand. But I did a show after that and, it wasn’t fine, but I did a show. Then I put my foot in a boiling geyser in Iceland, I had my face cut open, I’m a very clumsy person.”
On winning ‘Best Act in the World Today’ at the Q Awards this week, Ed said: “I viewed every album I put out as the start of my career again. Because you really have to treat it as such, you put out a record and you can’t really take it for granted… So winning on each album is still quite a big deal.”
On the darker sides of fame when he started out, he admitted: “I didn’t really have any growing up time into getting famous. I’d had a long period of growing up normally but I think you need to, when you get into the industry, adjust to it and I didn’t adjust because I was constantly working on tour. And all the pitfalls that people read about, I just found myself slipping into all of them. Mostly like, substance abuse. I never touched anything. I started slipping into it and that’s why I took a year off and buggered off."
On how he stayed away from it, he said: “I just focussed on other things. I focussed on work and I can’t work under the influence, I can’t write songs under the influence, I can’t perform under the influence so the more I worked the less [that happened]. I’ve worked my whole life to get to where I am and you can’t lose that over something that you do in your spare time. I didn’t really notice it was happening. It just started gradually happening and then some people took me to one side and were like, ‘Calm yourself down’... It’s all fun to begin with, it all starts off as a party and then you’re doing it on your own and it’s not so that was a wake up call and taking a year off. I’ve rekindled with a girl I went to highschool with and we live together now and I think that was a real help grounding me. I was a 25 year old in the music industry on tour so I just needed someone to balance me out.”
Ed also spoke about not having a phone: “I’m not into technology… If I had kids I’d have a phone but I don’t have any responsibilities. I think my generation was the last generation to not have phones when we were younger… I don’t want to sound too high and mighty but honestly, I talk to people more and I think more and it’s a good thing.”
He also admitted, he prefers being antisocial: “I did it because I don’t really like speaking to people. I like being antisocial. I have to be very sociable for my job but really I like being antisocial and locking myself away.”
Despite his global music success, he admitted his mum isn’t really a music fan herself and would prefer his stage name was his full name, Edward: “She actually gets really annoyed when people call me Ed… She doesn’t really like music. She likes mine but she has three albums that aren’t mine in her record collection.”
Singer and actress, Rita Ora, joined the sofa and spoke about working on a Harvey Weinstein movie in the past, Southpaw.
Speaking about the news surrounding Weinstein currently, she said: “It’s insane.”
Jonathan asked: “Were you on the receiving end of any untoward behaviour or advances?”
She said: “I did not encounter that. And I value everybody’s confidence in coming out and being brave and showing their independence. And I think it’s an incredible time right now, especially in the world, to really prove yourselves and stick up for who you are and what you believe in.”
She continued: “I think it’s a huge shift that’s moving. It sucks. The world is a crazy place, life is crazy isn’t it? And you just never really know anything really do you? As long as you are honest with yourself and as long as you do the best things that you can to achieve what you want to achieve. I love my family, I do everything for my family and so I think that’s what helps me go to sleep at night.”
Rita spoke about working with the late Carrie Fisher on an independent movie, Wonderwell: “It was really sad because she actually passed away while we were filming it so it was pretty difficult to get back into the role. It was amazing… Working with her, I always just saw that character. She’d always be drinking lots of coca cola and just be living life, it was an amazing experience.”
She also joked that she was refused entry to one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants because she was wearing a tracksuit. She told him: “Actually funny little story, I was wanting to, like everybody else who wants to eat in a Ramsay restaurant, and then I didn’t get in. Basically, I don’t think you know about this but I wasn’t dressed the part. They were like, ‘No.’ I was just wearing a trackie. I’m a tomboy so I was just wearing a trackie, trainers and I think there was a dress code. Can I come to one of your restaurants? For free though?” She joked.
Rita spoke about being a refugee. She said: “I am a proud refugee and I moved to London when I was one. I grew up in a council estate in West London. It was hard but I was really lucky because this city is beautiful, it’s the best city in the world and it’s so multicultural and I’m so proud to have been raised in such a beautiful city… I don’t know what I would be doing if I didn’t have a change of environment so I’m very lucky to be the best thing that came out of Kosovo,” she laughed.
Rita and the other guests tried some traditional Kosovan drinks, to mixed reviews. [Pictures available from REX]
TV chef, Gordon Ramsay, joined the sofa and spoke about his new TV3 documentary.
Speaking about Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine, Gordon opened up about losing a colleague to the drug: “It’s near and dear. It’s obviously everywhere and it’s a huge problem. [I] suffered a great loss years ago, an amazing young man. It’s rife.”
“We had dinner the night before. He passed. I wish I’d seen signs earlier. Cooking at a level where everyone is under that pressure but you don’t need that substance to continue. It was a big loss… I think the image today of a chef, I think everyone thinks it’s this rock and roll lifestyle and you need that help, that substance.”
For the documentary, Gordon tested the guest and staff toilets in his restaurant for substances. Cocaine was found in both. He said: “That’s when the alarm bells started going. I called a meeting. I didn’t throw anyone under the bus, I didn’t single anyone out. I just said, ‘Look, this is everywhere, it’s spotted in the restaurants and it needs to stop.’ Secondly, ‘We don’t want any more casualties. What do we need to put in place to stop anyone else’s life being taken?’”
Gordon spoke about going to meet the sicario, the gang who controls the cocaine trade in the area he was whilst filming for the documentary: “It was very dangerous. We had an amazing fixture on the ground for three months prior to entering into that part of the neighbourhood. Then when we got there we got stitched with a dummy address, spotters all on the roofs, windows down, we had to take off trackers. I think for the first time in my life when I walked inside this room, [there were] AK47s to glocks to wraps of coke, bullets sprayed everywhere, in a neighbourhood next to a ‘chop house’ where they used to take the bodies to chop them… So these three guys, they handed me the glock and I think it was the first time I felt that, ‘Damn, if this kicks off, I need a gun.’”
When Jonathan asked why he put himself in that situation as a high profile person, he said: “There was a possibility [of me being kidnapped]. I was with an amazing journalist who has an incredible relationship over the last decade with these guys… He was my benchmark and a great support. But I never really wanted to think about that because I wanted to see what happens when these deals get done and what happens when it goes t*ts up, and why there is such violence in this cocaine warehouse inside Andorus and I never wanted to be criticised for tip-toeing over things, I need to get, as you know, straight to the crux.”
On his brother struggling with drug addiction, he said: “Unfortunately that was a little bit harder. I don’t think there is any easy drug but when you stoop to the depths of heroin, it’s very rare you get back. We’ve done everything we can to help him now he just sort of binges and disappears so that’s just a constant reminder and also being a father of four ourselves, you need to be there for them because this stuff is rife.”
And on his eating habits, Gordon said he has never been tempted to go veggie: “No, I do eat lots of vegetarian [options]... From a chef’s point of view, that would be devastating. Seriously, I graze, I don’t sit down to a big dinner, big lunch, heavy breakfast, it’s three or four times [a day]. I graze.”
Comedian, Russell Howard, spoke to Jonathan about working in America and being mistaken for an unlikely TV host: “In America, I made two people laugh in an elevator simply with my face. I walked in and two fifty year old women [were laughing] and I said, ‘What are you giggling about?’ And this woman looked at me and went, ‘Sugar, has anyone ever told you you look like Ellen?’”

On breaking both arms in different places, he said: “I broke my wrist, my elbow and my rib. I came off a bike quite fast, a bicycle, a pedal bike. I was in Suffolk [going down a really steep hill]. The thing is, when it happened, I got up and was like, ‘That hurt’ and then cycled to the pub. Went home, went to sleep and then woke up at five o’clock in the morning in a lot of pain. And then went to the hospital.”
He joked that he had drunk Adnams in the pub which had seemingly detracted from the pain he must have been in after the crash.
He added: “I was with a few people. They didn’t even see the fall, they were really far in front of me. It wasn’t my bike and it was brand new brakes. I was borrowing the bike.”
He said this is the first time he has had to cancel gigs because of something affecting him directly: “I do a one man show so me not having my arms is half of the show, so I’ve had to postpone a couple of shows which sucks. It’s actually the first time I’ve ever cancelled shows… Sometimes a show has been cancelled because a promoter has done something but it’s the first time that I’ve ever actually cancelled a show.”
He said he would have wanted to try and avoid postponing the gigs but it might have affected his long term ability and career: “I did try to be like ‘I will.’ I tried to say I’ll carry on doing the shows but they said if I put any more stress on it, I might not be able to play [guitar] again so it’s good to be sensible.”
On his recovery, he said: “They are saying four weeks and then we’ll look at it.”
He admitted he didn’t wear a helmet or pads when he crashed and added: “I don’t think I’m going to cycle for a while. I’ve got quite a big tour next year.”
“There have been so many times when I’ve been in situations where I’ve been like ‘I’m going to break a bone here’ and I never have. Just before this, I shot a music video where I skied in the music video and I’m not a very good skier, I’ve only skied a couple of times. I was like, ‘Sod’s law, I’ll probably break my arm’ and then I didn’t. And then got home and then a day later did so it was probably bound to happen at some point.”
On whether he is accident prone, he said: “I’m quite a clumsy guy anyway… It’s come more since I’ve found success because I think I’m a bit more [shrugs his shoulders]. I remember before a show in 2013 I had to have 12 stitches in my hand because I was playing drums with two beer bottles at about four o’clock in the morning and smashed my hand. But I did a show after that and, it wasn’t fine, but I did a show. Then I put my foot in a boiling geyser in Iceland, I had my face cut open, I’m a very clumsy person.”
On winning ‘Best Act in the World Today’ at the Q Awards this week, Ed said: “I viewed every album I put out as the start of my career again. Because you really have to treat it as such, you put out a record and you can’t really take it for granted… So winning on each album is still quite a big deal.”
On the darker sides of fame when he started out, he admitted: “I didn’t really have any growing up time into getting famous. I’d had a long period of growing up normally but I think you need to, when you get into the industry, adjust to it and I didn’t adjust because I was constantly working on tour. And all the pitfalls that people read about, I just found myself slipping into all of them. Mostly like, substance abuse. I never touched anything. I started slipping into it and that’s why I took a year off and buggered off."
On how he stayed away from it, he said: “I just focussed on other things. I focussed on work and I can’t work under the influence, I can’t write songs under the influence, I can’t perform under the influence so the more I worked the less [that happened]. I’ve worked my whole life to get to where I am and you can’t lose that over something that you do in your spare time. I didn’t really notice it was happening. It just started gradually happening and then some people took me to one side and were like, ‘Calm yourself down’... It’s all fun to begin with, it all starts off as a party and then you’re doing it on your own and it’s not so that was a wake up call and taking a year off. I’ve rekindled with a girl I went to highschool with and we live together now and I think that was a real help grounding me. I was a 25 year old in the music industry on tour so I just needed someone to balance me out.”
Ed also spoke about not having a phone: “I’m not into technology… If I had kids I’d have a phone but I don’t have any responsibilities. I think my generation was the last generation to not have phones when we were younger… I don’t want to sound too high and mighty but honestly, I talk to people more and I think more and it’s a good thing.”
He also admitted, he prefers being antisocial: “I did it because I don’t really like speaking to people. I like being antisocial. I have to be very sociable for my job but really I like being antisocial and locking myself away.”
Despite his global music success, he admitted his mum isn’t really a music fan herself and would prefer his stage name was his full name, Edward: “She actually gets really annoyed when people call me Ed… She doesn’t really like music. She likes mine but she has three albums that aren’t mine in her record collection.”
Singer and actress, Rita Ora, joined the sofa and spoke about working on a Harvey Weinstein movie in the past, Southpaw.
Speaking about the news surrounding Weinstein currently, she said: “It’s insane.”
Jonathan asked: “Were you on the receiving end of any untoward behaviour or advances?”
She said: “I did not encounter that. And I value everybody’s confidence in coming out and being brave and showing their independence. And I think it’s an incredible time right now, especially in the world, to really prove yourselves and stick up for who you are and what you believe in.”
She continued: “I think it’s a huge shift that’s moving. It sucks. The world is a crazy place, life is crazy isn’t it? And you just never really know anything really do you? As long as you are honest with yourself and as long as you do the best things that you can to achieve what you want to achieve. I love my family, I do everything for my family and so I think that’s what helps me go to sleep at night.”
Rita spoke about working with the late Carrie Fisher on an independent movie, Wonderwell: “It was really sad because she actually passed away while we were filming it so it was pretty difficult to get back into the role. It was amazing… Working with her, I always just saw that character. She’d always be drinking lots of coca cola and just be living life, it was an amazing experience.”
She also joked that she was refused entry to one of Gordon Ramsay’s restaurants because she was wearing a tracksuit. She told him: “Actually funny little story, I was wanting to, like everybody else who wants to eat in a Ramsay restaurant, and then I didn’t get in. Basically, I don’t think you know about this but I wasn’t dressed the part. They were like, ‘No.’ I was just wearing a trackie. I’m a tomboy so I was just wearing a trackie, trainers and I think there was a dress code. Can I come to one of your restaurants? For free though?” She joked.
Rita spoke about being a refugee. She said: “I am a proud refugee and I moved to London when I was one. I grew up in a council estate in West London. It was hard but I was really lucky because this city is beautiful, it’s the best city in the world and it’s so multicultural and I’m so proud to have been raised in such a beautiful city… I don’t know what I would be doing if I didn’t have a change of environment so I’m very lucky to be the best thing that came out of Kosovo,” she laughed.

TV chef, Gordon Ramsay, joined the sofa and spoke about his new TV3 documentary.
Speaking about Gordon Ramsay on Cocaine, Gordon opened up about losing a colleague to the drug: “It’s near and dear. It’s obviously everywhere and it’s a huge problem. [I] suffered a great loss years ago, an amazing young man. It’s rife.”
“We had dinner the night before. He passed. I wish I’d seen signs earlier. Cooking at a level where everyone is under that pressure but you don’t need that substance to continue. It was a big loss… I think the image today of a chef, I think everyone thinks it’s this rock and roll lifestyle and you need that help, that substance.”
For the documentary, Gordon tested the guest and staff toilets in his restaurant for substances. Cocaine was found in both. He said: “That’s when the alarm bells started going. I called a meeting. I didn’t throw anyone under the bus, I didn’t single anyone out. I just said, ‘Look, this is everywhere, it’s spotted in the restaurants and it needs to stop.’ Secondly, ‘We don’t want any more casualties. What do we need to put in place to stop anyone else’s life being taken?’”
Gordon spoke about going to meet the sicario, the gang who controls the cocaine trade in the area he was whilst filming for the documentary: “It was very dangerous. We had an amazing fixture on the ground for three months prior to entering into that part of the neighbourhood. Then when we got there we got stitched with a dummy address, spotters all on the roofs, windows down, we had to take off trackers. I think for the first time in my life when I walked inside this room, [there were] AK47s to glocks to wraps of coke, bullets sprayed everywhere, in a neighbourhood next to a ‘chop house’ where they used to take the bodies to chop them… So these three guys, they handed me the glock and I think it was the first time I felt that, ‘Damn, if this kicks off, I need a gun.’”
When Jonathan asked why he put himself in that situation as a high profile person, he said: “There was a possibility [of me being kidnapped]. I was with an amazing journalist who has an incredible relationship over the last decade with these guys… He was my benchmark and a great support. But I never really wanted to think about that because I wanted to see what happens when these deals get done and what happens when it goes t*ts up, and why there is such violence in this cocaine warehouse inside Andorus and I never wanted to be criticised for tip-toeing over things, I need to get, as you know, straight to the crux.”
On his brother struggling with drug addiction, he said: “Unfortunately that was a little bit harder. I don’t think there is any easy drug but when you stoop to the depths of heroin, it’s very rare you get back. We’ve done everything we can to help him now he just sort of binges and disappears so that’s just a constant reminder and also being a father of four ourselves, you need to be there for them because this stuff is rife.”
And on his eating habits, Gordon said he has never been tempted to go veggie: “No, I do eat lots of vegetarian [options]... From a chef’s point of view, that would be devastating. Seriously, I graze, I don’t sit down to a big dinner, big lunch, heavy breakfast, it’s three or four times [a day]. I graze.”
Comedian, Russell Howard, spoke to Jonathan about working in America and being mistaken for an unlikely TV host: “In America, I made two people laugh in an elevator simply with my face. I walked in and two fifty year old women [were laughing] and I said, ‘What are you giggling about?’ And this woman looked at me and went, ‘Sugar, has anyone ever told you you look like Ellen?’”

23:05-23:40 brand new series.6/20.After the News.(Series 1).After The News.This new live topical discussion programme for TV3 debates Britain’s biggest talking points with a range of high-profile guests from news, politics, and popular culture.
Hosted separately five nights a week by broadcasters Emma Barnett and Nick Ferrari, they will be joined for the duration of the 30-minute programme by two guests with passionately-held and differing views for a lively and combative discussion on a range of stories and issues.
The programme aims to be the last word on the major talking points of the day and to combine them with fresh insights into the next morning’s big stories, taking perspectives from social media to fuel the conversation in the studio.
Guests lined up to appear on the show include Nigel Farage, Alastair Campbell, Ann Widdecombe, Nick Clegg, Nicky Morgan, Jason Isaacs, Shami Chakrabarti, Chuka Umunna, Quentin Letts, Julia Hartley-Brewer, and Alex Salmond.
Depending on the news agenda, the panel may be joined by an additional interviewee or contributor who is at the heart of a major news story, and the programme will make room for single interviews on particularly high-profile topics.
Emma, who hosts her own show on Radio 5 live, will present every Tuesday and Friday night, while LBC host Nick will front the show on Wednesdays and Thursdays. The pair will alternate on Mondays.
Emma Barnett said: “News has never been so newsworthy - which is ironic in an era when we've got more access to the hard stuff than ever before. I love being in the middle of the day's biggest issues and separating truth from spin. I look forward to getting going with this new late night news show. So bring it on."
Nick Ferrari said: "With everything from the recent terror attacks, to the complexities of Brexit and even the horror of one of the worst peacetime disasters in history with the Grenfell tragedy, rarely has the news agenda been so compelling and ever-changing. This show seeks to reflect that."
Executive producer Ian Rumsey, Head of Topical Programmes, ITN Productions said: “We’re aiming to go behind the headlines every night – and also bring some of the next day’s big stories forward. We won’t just be sticking simply to the news agenda, our programme will also focus on many of the other things that Britain is really talking about that day.”
