Chatting about his new friends on the show, she added: "Hope he brings Tim, Ella, Emelle, Sy & co for tea soon. Appreciate there’s been some incredible game playing but as Sammie/James would say I can’t lie - it’s been an emotional watch at times. Stay golden woo. Whoever wins on Friday, it’s really been smashing telly." The TV presenter will also be making an appearance on the show via a video message to Woody on Thursday night's episode, alongside her ex-husband, Norman Cook, and their daughter, Nelly.
