(interruption) Oh yeah |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) Yeah |
Speaker 1: |
Em (pause) would you say that you're mostly clean or messy people? |
Speaker 2: |
I think I've got a bit of OCD (pause) em because (pause) I'm (pause) I love tidying like |
Speaker 3: |
I'm slightly like (pause) |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) Yeah whereas I like -- I -- you like -- for ex- (pause) like some people are like 'ah God I've got to tidy my room', actually but I was like that the other day (pause) but normally |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) Yeah (pause) (interruption) Like t- ten minutes before you go to bed |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) Yeah |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) You always put things away |
Speaker 2: |
Yeah |
Speaker 3: |
Whereas I have to spend a weekend gutting my room. (laughter) |
Speaker 1: |
Is your house quite (pause) messy then, or? |
Speaker 2: |
It's really clean and tidy at the minute 'cause |
Speaker 3: |
It's all r- 'cause we went from a small flat which always looked so messy (pause) our new flat's really big so the mess is sort of like |
Speaker 2: |
Spread (interruption) out |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) Spread out so you don't see it as much |
Speaker 2: |
But also (pause) yeah it depends 'cause if we go on a night out (pause) then the flat for (interruption) the weekend will be just be a |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) God (pause) (interruption) with food and bottles and |
Speaker 2: |
Bottles and glasses and then we'll clean it and then it will be (pause) tidy for awhile and then we'll go on another night out and it will get back to the same state. |
Speaker 1: |
Um |
Speaker 3: |
But we use the dishwasher if we've been on a night out. |
Speaker 2: |
Yeah (laughter) |
Speaker 3: |
Just to help us along |
Speaker 1: |
(laughter) Em what's your id- er dream job? (pause) |
Speaker 2: |
|
Speaker 1: |
It could be anything |
Speaker 2: |
Oh (interruption) Ok |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) If it's not realistic (pause) then to be one of The Saturdays |
Speaker 2: |
Yeah to be one of The Saturdays (pause) (interruption) definitely. |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) Em (pause) it would be amazing |
Speaker 2: |
Yeah |
Speaker 3: |
But like realistically like (pause) I don't know like |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) I'm not really bothered about (pause) I'm not a career I've never ever been a career person (pause) and I don't have my heart set on having a like career because I'm all from (pause) like all through school I was just like 'I just want like a family and I want |
Speaker 3: |
Yeah |
Speaker 2: |
Which is very strange to some people (pause) but I don't know I've just always I just want lots of kids and (pause) (interruption) yeah |
Speaker 1: |
(interruption) Marry someone rich. |
Speaker 2: |
Y- well yeah, (interruption) that'd be good |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) (laughter) |
Speaker 1: |
Do you prefer The Saturdays to Girls Aloud then? |
Speaker 2: |
|
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) They're past it |
Speaker 2: |
And they've -- they've past it they've grown up and The Saturdays are -- are kind of taking over now. |
Speaker 3: |
Yeah, I totally agree, and The Saturdays are so much more fit. |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) Yeah |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) Like so much fitter than Girls Aloud |
Speaker 2: |
Yeah |
Speaker 3: |
They're just unreal |
Speaker 1: |
What do you think of Cheryl Cole? |
Speaker 3: |
|
Speaker 2: |
Yeah |
Speaker 3: |
On busses, on (interruption) TV, and magazines |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) I mean |
Speaker 3: |
And you're just like |
Speaker 2: |
I do like her and she's gorgeous and (pause) but I just can't help but thinking (pause) |
Speaker 1: |
(laughter) |
Speaker 3: |
She -- she is a lot of people like have said who are from Newcastle who knew her previously like not like we know them but people have said (pause) like she's just from a an (interruption) council estate in Byker and she's (interruption) like proper |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) She's (interruption) she is just a chav and like she's just I don't know (pause) she's obviously n- nice and stuff but (pause) you always hear about how she's like aff- like she has |
Speaker 3: |
That what she used to be like when she (pause) punched the (pause) toilet attendant (interruption) and stuff that's the real (interruption) Cheryl Cole |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) Yeah (interruption) yeah yeah |
Speaker 3: |
It really is (pause) like when she was young she was (pause) had fights and stuff and bolshie (interruption) and |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) yeah |
Speaker 3: |
I don't know I think like with her fame she's had to sort of hide that (pause) but |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) Yeah |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) I don't think this is the real her. |
Speaker 1: |
Do believe all that about |
Speaker 3: |
I -- I (interruption) thought that was ridiculous |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) Oh no I thought that was ridiculous. |
Speaker 3: |
I generally believe that's (interruption) (laughter) |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) It's -- it's but it really annoys me |
Speaker 3: |
(laughter) She said that in her interview (pause) that it's just ridiculous |
Speaker 2: |
It is just ridiculous it's just (pause) yeah it really annoys me when people (pause) are like ugh (pause) (interruption) 'it's y- you're racist' |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) Yeah |
Speaker 2: |
It -- it's like that is the most |
Speaker 3: |
It it's it -- it just (gasp) (pause) ri- (interruption) ridiculous |
Speaker 2: |
(interruption) Ridiculous she you can't even (pause) comment or talk about (interruption) it |
Speaker 3: |
(interruption) No |
Speaker 2: |
Because it just is ridiculous (pause) it's just so far from the truth. |
Speaker 1: |
'Will i am' was sat right (laughter) next to her (pause) so |
Speaker 2: |
Yeah, exactly! |
Speaker 3: |
|
Speaker 1: |
What age do you want to marry (pause) by? |
Speaker 3: |
I think about twenty six but (pause) I think with my track record it's going to be more like thirty-six, forty-six (pause) (laughter) but twenty six would be good, or twenty seven (pause) that kind of age. |
Speaker 2: |
Em I (pause) would ideally like to meet my husband (pause) |
Speaker 3: |
Twenty-six is not (pause) that twenty-six in five years. |

- The speaker panels on the right [3] provide background details for the interview participants. The colour of the panel corresponds to the colour of that speaker's utterances in the transcript.
- The audio and transcript text are linked in 20 second segments. Click anywhere in the transcript to start playback from that 20 second segment (the audio may take a few moments to buffer).
- Alternatively, you can click the play button (>) in the audio panel to start the interview from the beginning and then click on the audio time-line to jump to that part of the recording and transcription.
- You can also fast forward (>>) and rewind (<<) the audio. It will jump 20 seconds with each click of the buttons.
- Select a theme from the panel on the right-hand side of the page [4] to highlight related key words in the transcript. The transcript will jump to the first relevant key word in the text. Scroll down through the transcript to see further highlighted words.
