About this episode
The episode features discussions on celebrity news and festive events, including a comparison to a classic Christmas special.
It's the episode of Barely Contained with an audience only very slightly smaller than that of the Morecambe and Wise Christmas special of 1977. Matt Withers and Chris Beckett unwrap reports of MAFS star Amy Christophers hard-launching her new romance, fuming Strictly fans switching off and Cole Palmer's festive date at Winter Wonderland.
