Taylor Swift promised Life of a Showgirl was 12 bangers, no extras. Then came The Encore. Mia has a theory about why Taylor keeps doubling down and what it might have to do with an Oscar, while Holly asks whether it's sexist to want Taylor to have a little lie down and let us miss her.

Plus, Jessie has been manipulated into bringing Meghan news and she arrives with four juicy tidbits, including the pub that allegedly refused to serve the Duchess (and her controversial order - well, it surprised us). Plus Mia and Holly disagree about a Sussex Pap Walk.

And, Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor is back. He's suing the police and the Norfolk gentry are inviting him to kitchen suppers. Holly explains what that means.

The You Beauty hosts have bundled together their all-time favourite beauty products and two Mamamia subscribers are winning the lot. Current subscriber? You're already in the draw. T&Cs apply.
