Listen, we don’t hold grudges on this show and if any guest was going to cancel on us for THE BLOODY ONE SHOW, we would allow it to be Maisie Peters.

Hot off the back of dropping her new album we are privileged to have Maisie spinning our roulette wheel this week. However, and this is a word of warning - this episodes contains name dropping throughout and the sort of Ed Sheeran love...
