The Way They Were

This week Chantal and Grainne reminisce about the time two worlds collided with luminous guest comedian Rosie Holt! Rosie takes us back to the glory days of the TV reality show 'Made In Chelsea' when one of its stars, Millie Mackintosh was embroiled in the Romeo and Julliette of the mid-noughties when she met her unlikely prince charming in the form of rapper, Professor Green.

Chantal and Grainne are back for another look at love gone wrong and this week it's so, so wrong, thanks to the guest and her celebrity couple, yes comedian Sindhu Vee went there and presented us all with the log forgotten image of Rupert Murdoch and Wendi Deng!As always, we delve right into the relationship and find out what they got up to on an exercise bike, and speculate if alleged unrequited love played a part in the demise of Rupendi.

This week, we are transported back to the heady days of The O.C when writer and comedian Robin Morgan declares his long lost lament of the love that was Rachel Bilson & Adam Brody - it was a simpler time ... for them AND us.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week Chantal and Grainne are joined by the nation's sweetheart, Stephen Bailey, who treats his celebrity couple crush as more of a declaration of his own love towards one of the parties, owning actual merchandise with Zac Efron's face on it... I'm beginning to think he was GLAD when Zac and Vanessa's love ended...listen to the episode and see what you think.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Well, well, well, I guess it must be 2009 (or thereabout) as we're entering the epic twists and turns of the epic 'love' story of Jessica Simpson and John Mayer courtesy of this week's guest, comedian Evelyn Mok. It's a torrid tale at times and it has to be said, that this may be a lesson in what DOESN'T make someone great boyfriend material... but that's just our opinion, you guys can make up your own minds about that one...See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

We're back to the 90s this week, as guest comedian, Angela Barnes whisks Gráinne and Chantal back to the epitome of Britpop cool, when they discuss the couple I don't think any of us got over, Damon Albarn & Justine Frischmann. It was a time when we were only allowed to have ONE successful female Britpop star and she was it...when you hear what her hobbies were around this time, we guarantee you'll just love her even more.

This episode is the stuff of dreams, as hosts Gráinne and Chantal get to celebrate a lost love, which has actually rekindled! Yes comedian and writer Viv Groskop was DYING to talk to us all about her obsession with 'Benifer' and the utter joy that these two found each other again... if only all our couples were so bold.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chantal and Grainne are here again and this week are transported back to the swinging 60s by a couple who were the epitome of the era... but just how glamourous were Mick and Marianne REALLY? As well as taking a deep dive into the world of sex, drugs and rock n'roll we also hear why Mick probably never includes cabbage in a Sunday roast.

It's another epic week in the world of lost showbiz love as Gráinne (@grannymaguire) and Chantal (@chancentrate) welcome comedian, artist (she did the artwork for THIS very show), and award-winning podcaster, Poppy Hillstead!Poppy takes us all the way back to the 1970s when the love between budding make-up artist Devito( ... yes, REALLY) and aspiring actress Perlman met and fell in love... but despite being one of Hollywood's most stable couples, a happy ever after just wasn't to be, despite the efforts of Michael Douglas.Follow Poppy - @poppyhillsteadFollow us - @thewaytheywerepodcast (Insta) @thewaytheywere pod (Twitter)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Chantal (@chancentrate) and Gráinne (@grannymaguire) are here again to prise another erstwhile celebrity couple crush out of the memory banks of this week's guest, comedian Sam Lake. Sam doesn't disappoint as he takes us back to the days when 'I'm a Celebrity' was UNMISSABLE TV and the nation was gripped at the smoldering looks over the campfire and midnight hammock fondles of Katie Price and Peter Andre. We get some top-class reenactments of what went down and as you'd expect, this episode is INSANIA!Follow Sam - @mrsamlakeFollow us - @thewaytheywerepodcast (Insta) @thewaytheywere pod (Twitter)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

How could this episode of TWTW be anything less than a bumper edition when it's got comedian Laura Lexx AND the erstwhile true love of JENNIFER ANISTON AND BRAD PITT?! Chantal (@chancentrate) and Gráinne (@grannymaguire) had no choice but to give this one the extra time, as Laura regresses back to the real-life fairytale of Brad and Jen. But alas, no one told her life was gonna be this way, when our Prince Charming fell off his white horse into the waiting arms of the Wicked Queen Herself.., Angelina Jolie...But has the luxury of passing years softened our cold, judgemental hearts towards Ange? Was it Jen's book club that drove Brad to form Brangelina? Did Brad ever date Sinitta, or is it an elaborate government hoax? All these questions and more are pondered by the best love detectives in town...Follow Laura - @lexxlauraFollow us - @thewaytheywerepodcast (Insta) @thewaytheywere pod (Twitter)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Hello and welcome to this episode of TWTW and have Grainne (@grannymaguire) and Chantal (@chancentrate) got a treat for you? That's obviously a rhetorical question because their fantastic guest is the wonderful comedian and actor David Mills! As if that weren't enough, he came armed with a box of delights that is the lost love of Ellen DeGeneres and Anne Heche! Yep, it's a 90s thing, so put on your white, trouser suit and fantasize what a typical date with what is arguably the first famous lesbian couple would have been.Help us marvel at what a big deal it was for our trailblazers to be stepping out together, when perhaps more eyebrows should have been raised at Anne's previous relationship to the one with Ellen ... but like I said, it's a 90s thing.Who thrived and who survived? The answer may not be as obvious as you think...Follow David - @davidmillsdeptFollow us - @thewaytheywerepodcast (Insta) @thewaytheywere pod (Twitter)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Welcome to the first flurry of episodes of The Way They Were! In this edition, Grainne and Chantal welcome you to join them to celebrate the lost love of the king and queen of Juicy Couture, Cheryl Tweedy, and Ashley Cole!And the guest taking us back to the days of ghetto fabulous and dubious self-tanning choices is comedian and writer, Athena Kugblenu! Yes, thanks to Athena, we get to cast our memories back to the days before Cheryl's name became too long for an autocue and Ashley still lived in a flat (Why?? He was a multi-millionaire... BUY A HOUSE).We walk through the early days of that erstwhile love affair and those first faltering texts Ashley sent to woo the nation's sweetheart (Silvia Plath he ain't) and find, ultimately who thrived and who just survived after the relationship. Also, each week Chantal and Grainne will be asking the guest to come up with the perfect life partner for a very special single megastar and Athena's suggestion shouldn't work, but just does.
