Nicola had all 3 of the top 3 lines of this episode. "I'm sat here between sexy and brainy sides and all chump in the middle." "People are talking an awful lot of shite today, I'll tell you that for free." "ANARCHYYYYYYYY!!!" i fucking ADORE HER. Nicola deserves to be on a full series because she's got fantastic comedic sense. 😂

However, as no-one saw it and no-one attempted it, it was never mentioned in the episode. I think it was mentioned on the podcast though.

Nothing as exciting as Paul Chowdry having fun on a bouncy castle in this episode's ad breaks, but fun gags nonetheless.
