Medical Check Ups and World Cup Fever

from Unlikely Friends

“How can I relax? You’re about to stick a finger up my bumhole.” Leigh Francis, Emma Bunton, Jade Jones and Jill Francis are back on Unlikely Friends for a medical and embarrassing bodies special, with screenings, check-ups, intimate injuries and some very honest conversations about looking after yourself.First though, Leigh, Jade and Jill reveal their brand new obsession: racquetball. The gang talk about why they love it so much, and why Pauline remains the undisputed champion, even in her 70s.Emma also talks World Cup, including her Heart Radio sweepstake, while Leigh reflects on the less glamorous side of football and the negativity that can come with such a fiercely supported sport.Then things take a more personal turn. A chat about dreams leads to Jade’s lack of dreams and his upcoming well-man check-up, Emma shares her surprise at changes around breast checks, and Leigh tells the story of an intimate injury that forced him to get checked for testicular cancer, only to discover it was something known as a “bag of worms.” Unlikely Friends is a Global production, available every Monday and Thursday on Global Player, YouTube or wherever you get your shows.
