Transcript

Welcome and podcast introduction

0:00Hello, greetings. Howdy doody do. Other ways of saying hello are optional. My name is Claire and with me is Anna. And we are the Slimming World podcast. Oh, I wasn't going to show if you were like going to kind of carry on the carrying on my sentences thing. It's nearly taken eight years for me not to be terrified to be scared to talk at the beginning of a podcast and let you do it all. But, you know, eight years in, I still can't string a sentence together, can I? But welcome.

0:33We could do like a more newsy, serious version, you know, where I go, I'm Claire. And this is Anna. And this is the Slimming World podcast. Play the ukuleles.

0:58I prefer silly.

1:03Yeah, I know. I know. I know. But do you know what? I just want to kind of mix it up a little bit. I mean, nearly 300 episodes in, we're kind of needing to like va-va-voom ourselves occasionally. But hey, if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Or I was thinking we could ask our listeners, what style should we introduce the podcast in this week? Like rapping, singing, a bit of beatboxing. Do you know what I mean? It could just be our new segment, couldn't it? Anyway. We could rewrite our introduction. Oh, my God. Do you remember when we first started, you'd be like, you go, no, you go. No, you do it. I'm going to do it. And then we just officially handed it over to you. And I just never opened the podcast. So anyway, we've got a good one today, though. We've got a juicy one.

1:41And that idea about rewriting scripts, that somehow you feel like, you know, you kind of, you feel like you're stuck sometimes, don't you? Yeah. And I know when I first wanted to lose weight, there was a part of me that I knew the what. I just couldn't honestly see the steps that it would take me to get there. And you can get stuck into, well, I'm always going to be overweight. I've tried losing before. It never works for me. And we get stuck in these scripts. But today, we're really excited to meet Poppy Chapman, who has found a way to rewrite her scripts and rewrite her history.

2:21And it happens to be that Poppy also listens to the podcast a lot and knows what on earth she's let herself in for by coming on to the Slimming World podcast. How are you, Poppy? Hello. I'm very well, thank you. Thank you so much for having me tonight.

Meeting guest Poppy Chapman

2:39I have to say, Poppy is probably one of the most glamorous people we've had on the podcast. She's just come in with this beautiful blonde hair, not looking like she's put her kids to bed. I look like dishevelled, but you are a true icon, Poppy. Gorgeous to have you here. I do try. I do try and have a bit of glamour now and again. So it's been a crazy couple of years for you, hasn't it? It has. Yeah. Poppy has lost over five and a half stone in the last couple of years.

3:10And your video, which is on the Slimming World YouTube channel. If anybody's ever stuck and needing a bit of motivation, I love to just go on YouTube and just hit play through the playlist of all the success stories. And your one was so beautiful. It brought tears to my eyes. I guess maybe we should recap the start, really, for you of that moment where you decided, that's it. I'm going to need to do something here. It was October 2024. You'd just come back from a holiday at Disney.

3:45Yeah, that's correct. With your kids as well.

The low point at Disneyland

3:49Yeah.

The low point at Disneyland

3:50Give us a sense of maybe some of the feelings that you were having at that time. Yeah, I mean, 2024 was a very, very low point in my life. Probably one of the toughest years. I think it was mainly for me as just confidence and just self-esteem. It was just I just felt awful doing day to day tasks. I just couldn't even do the school run because I felt too embarrassed of just how I looked, the size that I was.

4:25And it was just I was just stuck. So I was on the holiday that I'd always dreamed of going to Disneyland. It's something that I've always wanted to do as a mum. And it's something I always used to talk about that one day when I had my own children, it's the place that I would absolutely love to take them to. And my daughter goes to a dance school and we got given an opportunity where she was performing at Disneyland. So, you know, as a mum, it was something that I'm so proud of her for doing.

4:56I mean, how many children or adults get to perform at Disneyland? So it was an opportunity that I really jumped on and I was so, you know, proud for her and I wanted to encourage her to do this. But once I got there, I just was so low. And it was kind of when I was at Disney, it hit me of just how low and miserable I was in myself and just with everything around me. I couldn't find enjoyment in this holiday.

5:29And that's kind of when I realised that I had to, I really had to do something because I was letting my kids down. I felt like I wasn't the mum that my kids deserved and I couldn't give them this magical holiday that I'd always dreamed of. We didn't do any rides because I just knew that I wasn't going to fit onto the rides. I didn't want to queue up because I didn't want to be on my feet, you know, for so long.

5:59We barely walked around the park because I struggled to walk. It was kind of stopping every five, ten minutes. We didn't spend a whole day at the park. We would go back to the hotel room because, again, I was just so, so uncomfortable. And, yeah, I just knew then that I had to do something because my kids weren't going to have me around for much longer if I didn't do anything. And then that's when I came back and walked through the doors of Slimming World.

6:30And here we are two years later and I absolutely love life and it's been a crazy journey of two years. And I wouldn't have changed it for the world now. You know, I had to get to that low place to be where I am today. And, yeah, I just absolutely love it. Love life to the full now. And we've just come back from a Disney holiday. What a difference of holiday that was. We didn't stop. It was just walk, walk, walk all day and went on every single ride we physically could.

7:07And I just had the best holiday and I'm already looking at going back because I cannot wait to get back now.

7:15It's not for the faint hearted. If you haven't done it, you just don't stop, do you? It's a tough holiday. It's not a relaxing holiday. No, it's not. But, you know, I really appreciate you sharing how low it got because there are so many people out there, you know, Claire and I have been in really dark places with our weight. And, you know, a lot of people think, oh, you want to look better in jeans or you want to feel better in your swing costume. This is so much deeper. You wanted to become or still be a mum. You wanted to give it to your children. How did you go from such a low point then making the decision to walk through the door?

7:47Because I know it took me, well, I sat in the car park of six groups, seven attempts to walk through the door. Because it's a frightening thought, isn't it? How did you go from that point in Disney to walking through Donna's doors, wasn't it?

Walking back through the doors

8:00Yeah. So I'd already been to Slim and World before and to Donna's group before. So I already knew Donna. I mean, it was probably five, six years before I walked back into them doors. But, yeah, I thought Donna would never know who I was. So I kind of wanted to sneak in. But I did sit in the car park for about half an hour, 40 minutes before I plucked up the courage to go in. And I kind of went in with my head down, didn't want anyone to see me.

8:35But Donna recognised me straight away, which kind of took me back a little bit because I was thinking, oh, my God, it's been about five years since I've walked in. And I literally had nothing to do with the group last time. I was always kind of a way and a go person. I didn't want people to talk to me. So I was really shocked that she knew me. So instantly I kind of felt, you know, like taken in and stuff because she was so friendly. And, you know, so we just had a really good chat. And I told explained to her about obviously Disney and I got emotional and I just said to her that I just really need your help.

9:08You know, I need help now. And I have to admit that I need help and I need to sort myself out and please make me stay to group. I was like, don't let me leave that room. You know, I need to make big changes. I can't weigh and go. I can't do Poppy's plan like it has to be Slimming World plan. I can't just make up my own my own thing and just hope for the best. You know, I was like my kids deserve the best. They deserve the world. And I don't want to be the mum that says no, because my answer was always no to everything.

9:45You know, can we go to the park? Can we go to soft play? You know, I've got a birthday invitation. Can we go there? Can we do this? Can we do that? I was always no, no, no, no. So, you know, I needed to turn into that yes, mum. So, yeah, I had a good chat with Donna. Then I slowly started talking to other members, started introducing myself and asking for their advice. If I was obviously struggling, you know, with meal ideas or stack ideas. So the group really helped me.

10:18Then first few months, they really got me going and made me keep coming back because it was so lovely to see complete strangers giving me this support. And them knowing a little bit about why I was there and what my why was, you know, they were all on my side. And it just felt amazing to have, like I say, complete strangers kind of be there, making sure that I'm having the journey that I should have. And I just felt like before I was kind of always on my own when I tried things.

10:54So the support of the group and having the consultant Donna was just absolutely amazing. And that's what made me keep going back, because in the end, it actually felt like I wanted to do the group proud, like not just my kids. I wanted to do the group proud. I want to do my consultant proud. So then it was like I had all these people then where I was like, I need to do it for them. The group support is amazing. And that's really what I find makes Slimming World. You don't realise how much you need it until you get it.

11:25Does that make sense? You think I could do this and I should be able to do this. And when you're enveloped in that support, you know, watching, I watch it from a consultant's perspective and seeing these people like care about each other. They didn't know three months ago and wanting to lose weight as much as they do is such a beautiful thing.

Family meals and changing habits

11:42I mean, in terms of food, I'm always fascinated by this. It's because I'm such a big eater. How has your food intake, the meals that you enjoy with the family changed?

11:54So, I mean, we have lots of meals together now. Whereas before we wouldn't, you know, I would kind of cook for the kids first and it would just be the frozen stuff. You know, it would be the chips and the nuggets and the fish fingers. You know, I would do them first and then, you know, I'd get them ready for bed. They would go to bed and then I would kind of eat their leftovers. You know, if they left anything on their plate, I would eat that and then I would probably cook myself the same. Or I couldn't be bothered to cook.

12:25So then I would get a takeaway. You know, so some nights I was having like two or three dinners because I was obviously eating all the kids' leftovers. And then I was having, you know, my own dinner as well. But now we do, we do Slimming World Kitchen together some weeks. There's some meals that the kids like on there. So we'll do that. I do a lot of, I invested in a slow cooker. So I do a lot of meals in a slow cooker. You know, we do like a curry, a chilli. We do the pasta fajita bowl in there.

12:56So, you know, it's benefiting all of us now. And it's nice to sit together and eat together instead of being separate. It's kind of really brought us together because now in the evening, you know, we'll sit down and have our evening meal together and talk about our day or what's coming up. And, you know, it's really nice. I feel like with Slimming World, it has definitely connected me to my children and brought us a lot closer as a family.

13:26Wow. I mean, you know, just the idea, I suppose, of chipping away at like a bigger goal week by week and learning slowly as you go. You know, I'm sure when you walk through the door, you knew that it wasn't going to be a quick fix. I mean, I was reading your story where it said you tried fatty diets before and you kind of knew they didn't work. So you were here for the long haul, so to speak. But then it sounds like these other aspects, we were talking the other week about how healthy habits are contagious.

13:59Some new research which came out with Slimming World and the University of Bristol. And that sounds like that's kind of had an impact for you and your family as well. Mm hmm. Yeah, definitely. Yeah. I mean, like my kids pick up on the habits that I've now obviously picked up from Slimming World. And like I say, it's definitely connected us together. And yeah, they even just their snacks, their snacks are so different now. They don't want to have their biscuits anymore. Like my daughter, she absolutely just loves having a fruit bowl.

14:30Or, you know, she just loves having like strawberries and blueberries and things like that. And I think it's because that's what I would I would have that as a snack. And she will kind of be like, is that healthy? Or like what what's in is that a sweet or is that? And I'm just like, oh, yeah, it's, you know, kind of get my book out or I get the app out. And I'm like, oh, yeah, that's got this many swips in it. And yeah, so she just loves it. So, yeah, she's very much picked up on what I'm doing. But I think it's because she's seen the change in me because my kids do call me the happy mum now, which is lovely.

15:06It's so nice. And if we go back through old photos or we talk about, you know, something that happened in the past, it's sometimes it's, you know, it makes me laugh. Sometimes I get a bit upset because sometimes they'll say, oh, you know, that was sad, mummy. You know, oh, that was when mummy was sad, that sad mummy. And then it's like, but this is happy mummy and it is lovely. Sometimes it's nice that they, you know, they tell the difference.

15:33So, yeah, it's lovely like that. It's so beautiful. We talk about this often, actually, what you're instilling them is about food and how to eat and how to cook. So, you know, Claire and I often talk about how we, you know, hit late teenagers, early adulthood with a lot of, you know, lack of knowledge of food, how to put a meal together. But you're raising your kids to understand that and they're going to go into this big world and just be knowing what to do, aren't they? That must be quite a way to you almost. Yeah, I mean, definitely like when I was a teenager and stuff, I mean, I was never really unhealthy, like in my household with my mum and dad.

16:09But I do think like, yeah, you lack that knowledge of nutrition. So I definitely wish that I had something like that growing up, especially like as an early adult, because I went away to university and stuff. And obviously you have to, you know, look after yourself. I didn't have a clue what I was doing, you know. So it was kind of I lived off just pasta and like pop noodles and just the easiest thing that I could. But yeah, I wish I knew so much more about nutrition growing up.

16:39So that is kind of why I do try and relay that onto my kids now. So then they don't kind of, you know, get to their teens or if they go to university or anything, you know, I'd like to think that they would know what they're doing when it comes to obviously like cooking dinner and stuff like that. Just gives you a bit more confidence then instead of just getting a pop noodle. Yeah. Like what I lived off when I was at uni. Something tasty. Yeah. Yeah. My friends just sent her daughter off to uni. And do you know what she took with her for her first week?

17:10An air fryer. An air fryer, but a Slimming World kitchen box. I thought there was Jesus. Oh, wow. He's going to make friends immediately, isn't she? Because they'd be like, who's got good food? No one's talking about that. I thought that was so special. One week of the term, she's going to have some nutritious food. Whatever comes after that, she's trying to do. Yeah, at least she's just got one. She's got one week of good food. Yeah, the pot noodles will come in. Yeah. Wow.

Health struggles and fitness

17:34Let's talk about health as well. Because there was a point in your life where you were living with diabetes when you were pregnant. You were worried about cholesterol. What's been the kind of the journey there for you? And how worrying was that for you as well? How big an impact was your weight having on that, do you think? Yeah. I mean, when I was pregnant with my second child, it was, yeah, I got diabetes and I literally

18:05I just couldn't control my weight. And whatever I did, it was just going up and up and up every time I had an appointment. And it was scary because whatever I did, I couldn't stop it. And then it's the fear of obviously, you know, the baby, is the baby going to be okay? Because, you know, I'm struggling with my weight and obviously I wasn't a healthy weight and I had so many difficulties when I was pregnant. And it was then the fear of, well, what comes after?

18:37When obviously once I've had the baby, am I going to go back to healthy or are all these things going to stay the same? And it got to the point where I got so big that in my last month, two months of the pregnancy, I actually had to be given crutches because I just, I physically couldn't walk anymore because just my knee joints were in so much pain because of obviously the weight that I was carrying. I got banned from driving as well because I was too big.

19:10So it was dangerous to go behind a steering wheel. So, yeah, my midwife told me that I couldn't drive anymore, like, you know, just to be on the safe side. So it was scary getting told all these things that I can't do anymore. And I couldn't rely on myself anymore because I needed these crutches to get around. My daughter was a toddler at the time. So I had a toddler and a baby on the way. And it was just a lot to take in. It was so much that sometimes you don't realise what you was going through.

19:43Like, I was very much in a survival mode as well. How's your health now, like, having lost all this weight? I mean, you look a picture of health, but I know that doesn't always tell me a story. Like, how are you now? I think it's good.

19:57No, it's, yeah, I'm all good. Like, I love it, especially, like, with my job. I run around like a headless chicken most days. Don't know what way I'm going and, you know, which is good. I can keep up with it now. Back in the day, I wouldn't, I just wouldn't be able to do it. But I love it. I love going to the gym. I love going for walks, runs. Yeah, and I just don't get out of breath compared to, like, what I used to. I mean, sometimes, obviously, I will get out of breath if I do a little bit too much. But, you know, it's nice not to be out of breath straight away.

20:31Like I say, even just doing a walk, like, back in the day, doing a walk was just too much for me. Like, doing the school run, it was just too much. I'm, like, running up there now. Oh, I love that. Was that activity part of the weight loss journey, or is that something you found later on in your weight loss? Yeah, so I started doing, like, fitness and going to the gym and everything like that probably three, four months into Slim and World. Because once the weight started going, I started getting a bit more confident and started moving a bit easier.

21:03That's when I was like, right, I can slowly now start adding this in. Because it kind of started, my weight slowly started not to move so much. So I was kind of maintaining a little bit. And so that's when I was like, right, now I need to add a bit of movement into this. And then that's when I started to see the losses again. And they started to pick up a bit more because I had a few weeks where I was just maintaining. So that's when I slowly started to join a gym, do some running, just even walking the dogs, like doing a couple of laps with the dogs.

21:34And then that picked up my weight loss. But I love it. Like I say, I love it now. Absolutely love it. Does it become part of your everyday life? Like, movement is now something you do because you enjoy it? Or is it something you still have to realize? Yeah, no, definitely. Like, I love it. But I find as well, it just clears you out. Like, it just clears your head. That's what I love about exercise is that it just clears my head out. It's just in that moment, it just, don't think about anything. And it's just like a relaxing thing for me now.

22:04Did you ever think you'd say that? Did you ever think? No. No, not at all. I think people listening have probably gone through the same desperate feelings that you've had. I mean, how do you sit here today? Hey, you're so bubbly, you're so happy, you're cooking, you're exercising. To someone listening, how have you kept going through those moments that have been so dark and so tough in the last two years? Because I'm sure there's been quite a few of them. Yeah, I mean, like I say, it's been a crazy journey. The last two years has been crazy. And there's been moments where I have wanted to stop and I've not wanted to carry on anymore

22:40because I'm kind of like, you know, I just can't do it anymore. Like, you know, I haven't got the headspace for it. I don't want to think about it, you know. It's just, I just always have to think about why I started. That's kind of what I think. Like when I'm having a bad day or I'm ready not to go to group, I'm ready not to walk through them doors anymore. Or it's always, you know, why did you start? And I just, you know, picture that in my head. I picture where I was at Disney. And I'll just be, you know, think about that and just be like,

23:13you're so far from that person. Like, don't stop the journey because on the other side, there's going to be something better. There's going to be more opportunities for you. And that's kind of something that I've learned along the way is not to think about the past too much. And, yeah, just kind of just keep thinking about the next thing. And, you know, what can you do if you achieve, you know, like a half marathon or, you know, something like that,

23:43like doing my running. It's kind of a, right, I can now do it in this time. But what if I can do it in this time? Because if I can do a half marathon now, like in six months or a year, I can actually do a full marathon, you know, and then think about that achievement and stuff like that. So I'm always kind of thinking about the next achievement because two years ago, I wouldn't have thought that I'd be sitting here today, obviously doing like a podcast with yourself and having a, you know, a title. And, yeah, I just didn't picture my life would be like this now.

24:14So that's why I'm always like, you can do it. Just do it. Always think about your why. Why did you start in the first place? Why did you walk through them doors, you know? And why did you want to do it? Why do you want to stay to group? I just always think about the whys of how I got started. And then that kind of puts me where I need to be. Gosh, you know, sometimes people think losing weight is about quitting things

24:44and, you know, having to, having to, I don't know, you can't do this or you can't eat this and feeling like they're restricted. But it just feels like with you, actually that process of the food optimizing and the summer world plan actually gave you a lot. Like all the stuff that you've gained along the way, like your energy is just infectious. I can't think of anybody who isn't listened to this and is like, yes, I'm going to do it. I'm going to get to group this week and I'm going to tell everyone

25:15to listen to this podcast because this is what everyone needs to hear. And, you know, and what's also amazing is that you're here today and, you know, you are one of the Slimming World icons of the year 2026. You am, Ray. And I love the fact that you're like, but yeah, what else am I going to do next? Like this is not game over. This is not, I've completed it, mate. This is like, where else? What next? And from that kind of, that kind of small kind of insular poppy

25:49that was of two years ago to who you are now is just incredible. Like, are you proud of yourself? Oh, 100%. Yeah, definitely. Like, yeah. I mean, I have to be really. I feel like, yeah, I've achieved so much that I never would have thought that I would have done in a million years. I've still got so many more stuff that are coming up that I can't say too much. But it's, you know, I've been given so many opportunities and I just love it.

26:20Like I say, yeah, just always the next. What can I do next? Like, chuck it. Give it to me. Just, you know, I want to do everything. You could say you've been given those opportunities, but actually I think you worked really hard to get some luck in your life and also for those opportunities. You made that happen. Yeah. It's been a tough two years, but yes, it's, you know, like I say, it's been worth it and I love it. And, you know, I'm now 33 and it's taken me 33 years to actually now say that, you know, I actually love myself

26:53and I love who I am and I just love what I do now. Like, you know, my career and being a mum and, you know, being the friend as well, because before I was always the friend that said no, but now I do so much with my friends and I've made so many new friends, you know. So, yeah, I mean, it's taken me 33 years, but I'm not ashamed to say that I now love myself and I absolutely love the life that Slimming World have, you know, have gave me. I'm just so grateful for absolutely everything

27:24in the last two years and I'm grateful for everything that's coming up as well. I feel like they're going to be like Poppy Climes, Mount Kilimanjaro, Poppy... Yeah, let's do it. Let's put that on the list. We'll clap you at the end, but I want to... Okay. But do you know what I see is someone who's got a vision of hope, a vision of the future that she wants to live, rather than that sad Poppy that I could just imagine you in Paris just feeling so desolate to who you are now. I think that's such an inspiration to hear

27:54because I know in my darkest days, hearing people's stories who've overcome things with their weight loss was a similar age to me. I've always connected that. And I'd always think if they can do it, then there's hope for me. So thank you for being such a sparkly, hopeful person. It's amazing. And your enthusiasm, I'm sure, will be wearing off on our listeners thinking about their why. Because I think the moment you keep remembering that is the moment that you can keep going, can't you? Yeah. Yeah. Like I say, it was definitely, you know, a big help for me. It's just always having that in your head.

28:27Just always remember that why. And it will definitely keep you going. You know what I think is really interesting? And I guess, you know, looking at around the title of this episode about rewrite your history, there's not many people, I think, who would pick out one of the most difficult times in their life and then go back to that place. And then kind of, you know, that could be quite triggering for quite a lot of people. But it was that testament to your mental strength,

28:57I think, that you were able to go back to that and find a different way to navigate through that. Because many, many of us, I put my hands up and say, there's definitely moments in my life and I'm like, places, locations, certain people. I'm like, nope, that's in a box and I ain't going there. But that opportunity, I think, when we kind of are able to take a pause, and I think that is the biggest thing to hold on to. You know, we should really say,

29:28if you are someone who is listening to this and you are struggling with your mental health right now, you know, it's just about just taking a pause and it will get easier, you know? It's always hard to think in the moment, isn't it? But just these small, tiny snail steps or chihuahua steps, as my mum used to call them. We're not dinosaurs, so we shouldn't take dinosaur steps. We'd be better suited to chihuahua steps. And with time, you get able to get more of a pause in place

30:00and look at things from a different perspective. And I think that support that is built into the Slim and World support system, the training that the consultants have around the psychology aspects as well, is so important that needs to be talked about with more people, about the impact of how being overweight can affect our mental health, you know? And for years and silently and not enough people talk about it. And here we are, three of us,

30:31making sure that people know that you got this, we got this, we managed to find a way through and we honestly believe that you can too. And that is so important. Yeah, I mean, that's why with my journey, I've always been so open. I want to talk about, you know, about them dark days. I want to be honest with everybody because, you know, if I can help someone feel how I was two years ago to how I'm feeling now, you know, I want to give people hope

31:03and I want them to realise, you know, you're not on your own and you can, you know, things get better. You can do it. You know, it's going to be a long journey. It's not an overnight journey, but you're never on your own. You've always got someone there to support you. It was lovely to go back to Disney as a different person.

Returning to Disney and closing chapters

31:22It was nerve wracking, I must admit, because it was, you do think about, you know, oh God, when I was here last time and stuff. So I was really nervous about going back, but I can't even explain like the feeling that I actually got. When I walked into Disney, I literally, I just walked in and my daughter was actually quite embarrassed, but I literally walked in and I just started crying because it actually felt like just a weight had just lifted off my shoulders

31:55because I'd obviously gone back. And then I was kind of like, oh my God, I can't believe I'm back here. And I was just so overwhelmed. And then I was thinking of the journey that I've had in two years and I just literally never felt so happy before. That was just literally the best holiday that I'd ever had. And I couldn't believe that somewhere where I had felt so low and I just, you know, felt so sad to now like literally having the most,

32:25you know, best time ever. And it was just me and my daughter and we just had the most amazing time because I'm like, I'm glad that I went back and it's kind of closed the chapter for me, which I thought it was going to go either way. It was either going to be a big trigger and it was going to bring memories back that I didn't want or it was going to go the way that it did pan out and it was just, yeah, goodbye, old poppy, close that door and now I don't think about that poppy in 2024.

32:58I just think about this poppy that, you know, has just had an amazing holiday there and I just love it and I can't wait to go back. Well, they say you can't change the past, but you can do something about the future and that is, sounds like exactly what you're doing. Wow, okay. I don't actually even know, I mean, we know you're going back to Disney. That's what's next. Is there, I mean, is there any other kind of crazy things? Swimming with whales, dancing with polar bears.

33:29Bungee jumping, yeah. Bungee jumping, right, skydiving. I've got all of this for Poppy's future, in my mind. Do it. I would do it all, yeah. I would love it. If you say yes to everything, would you give me a million pounds? Yes, if she had it, I bet she would. Do you know this Saturday's lottery number?

33:49I need the million pounds so I could keep having these Disney holidays. What other things can we get Poppy to say yes to?

33:58Honestly, it's been so lovely meeting you. We hope you have the best time in November at the ball with all of the other Slimming World Award winners. We're obviously the best, sparkliest Disney princess dress that you can find. You should have the Disney ears. I'm working on it. Oh, it is. Yeah, should I wear some big ears? Well, they cost a fortune. I think they need re-wearing. Yes, they do. Honestly, it's been so lovely to have you on.

34:31Thank you so much, Poppy. Thank you so much for having me. I loved it. It's been great. Good, good. Right, I think next week we're going to have a members episode. Have a great week, whatever you get up to, and we'll speak to you very soon. Goodbye. Bye for now. Bye for now. Bye for now. Bye for now. Bye for now. Bye for now. Bye for now. Bye for now. Bye for now.
