    Has Gemma met her match in Kitty Scott-Claus?

    Gemma’s not been feeling well, but even a chest infection can’t stop the festive fever spreading at The GC Palace. She’s been out on the town with Rami, and narrowly avoided an ostrich feather emergency! You’re not seeing/hearing double this week, but Gemma’s guest could well be her long-lost twin sister – it’s Kitty Scott-Claus from RuPaul’s Drag Race UK. They share so much in common that Gemma hatches a plan to send Kitty out on jobs she doesn’t want to do!

    Keith Lemon answers Gemma’s questions about fairies

    With Christmas coming, The GC is very excited about all things festive! And to help her get to the bottom of whether elves and fairies are really real, she turns to her pal Keith Lemon – who investigated them for one of his TV shows and even visited a Fairy School. Our curious pair also discuss Bigfoot and time travel. Should they now set up their own X Files-style agency to investigate strange phenomena? Meanwhile, how many reindeers is too many reindeers? Gemma gives a behind-the-scenes peek into the mammoth three-day operation to get Christmas decorations ready at The GC Palace. Plus, our beloved diva gives us an exclusive walk-through of her glitzy wardrobe for an upcoming wedding, and listener Sandy has an Ask Me Anything question linked to one of Gemma’s favourite things ever.
