Chris and Rosie Ramsey are busy. Very busy. With an award-winning podcast, a Sunday Times bestseller and a record-breaking tour already under their belt, they barely have time for a new TV show.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re on cloud nine, but you can\u2019t even take a minute to sort of enjoy it because it\u2019s been so busy and so crazy,\u201d Chris tells me over the phone.<\/p>\n

Regardless of how busy they are, they remarkably find time for a (joyous) 45-minute chat where we touch upon almost everything. Unlike most celebrity interviews, the tone is completely relaxed and friendly. It\u2019s basically my very own episode of Sh**ged, Married, Annoyed. We share beefs, grievances, what we\u2019re watching on TV, our shared love of the North East, and much more.<\/p>

We chat ahead of the launch of their new programme, aptly named The Chris and Rosie Ramsey Show. They are the absolute stars of the show \u2013 quite rightly \u2013 with parts of their podcast being brought to the screen for the first time. Expect beefs galore.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a completely new format, but obviously there\u2019s going to be elements because you\u2019ve got me and Rosie at the helm of it, so there\u2019s always going to be that similarity,\u201d Chris explains. \u201cWe\u2019ll ask our celebrity guests, who will all be celebrity couples, what their beef is and then we ask our audience to submit their beefs so people in the crowd will stand up and have a mic thrown in their face and they air their grievance with their partner on the show.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to the pair, it\u2019s going to be a pretty fiery format from the off.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the pilot\u2019s anything to go by, we might have to get some riot police in or like an aftercare team to look after them after they\u2019ve dug each other out on the show because they were amazing,\u201d Chris adds. \u201cThey were so up for it. Our crowd are so up for it \u2013 they\u2019re our kind of people. The format is celebrity chat show, but also the audience are involved, and they just deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s fair to assume The Chris and Rosie Ramsey Show will be a roaring success if the demand for tickets is anything to go by. Just moments after the pair shared links to get into the live show, the website crashed. Twice.<\/p>\n

Rosie, clearly still shocked by it, explains: \u201cI mean we live in a world where we think that tomorrow everyone\u2019s going to stop listening. Honestly! When that website went down when we put it on our Instagram, I genuinely thought before I posted that, \u2018what if no one comes?\u2019 I think it would be unhealthy to be like, \u2018this is going to sell out\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ve got sort of a humbleness but almost to a detriment where we\u2019re like, \u2018we\u2019ll not bother\u2019,\u201d Chris admits. \u201cThe fact it crashed the website twice, we couldn\u2019t believe it. We\u2019re just absolutely so grateful to our fans and our listeners for being so cool and so honest. I think the show is going to be a hell of a night whether watching it at home or being there.\u201d<\/p>\n

As with everything they do, honesty is at the heart of it. They don\u2019t know the questions beforehand so their reaction is pure and genuine. Even for their podcast they don\u2019t tell each other big things that happened in their lives each week to save an element of surprise.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe prefer that!\u201d Rosie explains when asked if she\u2019s nervous about what\u2019s coming. \u201cWe did it with the tour and it worked. We wanted to keep the TV show the same because it would just be a bit repetitive if we knew exactly what was coming. I think we\u2019re looking forward to the excitement of it as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

Chris adds: \u201cThere\u2019s a lot of preparation that goes into a show like this and the team are brilliant and we trust the guys to pick the funniest beefs. And they listen to the podcast inside out. The podcast is off the cuff so we try to bring elements of that. You want to bring the good elements and make it be an extension of the podcast rather than, \u2018now we\u2019re doing a telly show and it\u2019s totally different\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

That aforementioned podcast has been very successful indeed. Sh**ged, Married, Annoyed first launched in February 2019 and at time of publication has 167 episodes to its name \u2013 that\u2019s pretty much one a week for the past three and a half years. Those who\u2019ve listened from the beginning have been through Chris\u2019 Strictly journey with him, we\u2019ve heard them argue, and we\u2019ve been with them throughout their pregnancy and birth of second child, Rafe.<\/p>\n

Regardless, there are some<\/em> things off limits to their listeners.<\/p>\n
