The podcast where every celebrity split is the one that got away. Each week comedians Grainne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate take a deep dive into a celebrity breakup, chosen by a special guest, that still lingers in their hearts and minds. They might uncouple ‘amicably with love and respect for one another’ - but we never get over these lost loves! Join us every Friday for a new episode.

Today's offering of The Way They Were will have anyone with even a passing interest in the escapades of The G.C and Arg absolutely delighted, because thanks to comedian and podcaster, James Barr, that's the only way we're going with this ep!

Yes, the Burton and Taylor of reality TV started their wild romance in the year of 2012, the Mayans were right to end their calendar then, as the next 10 years was truly the age of Essex. As always, Grainne has spent days in the archives in order to dig out the real story of this off and on again saga, allowing us to feel like we were at their first kiss thanks to dramatisations by Chantal and James.

AND, James comes up with possibly the best love match for patron saint Cher we've had yet..
