Back in the day in the 90s, you'd have like this sort of border along the bedroom and there was like signatures on it.

I think a night out with Pink Pantheress would bring chaos.

I actually have been to one of her parties before, and it was so heaving, like literally sardines in a tin couldn't move.

She's quite, like, in the most loveliest, positive way.

Love for Strip.

So I didn't want to be like, big fans, Grace.

Huge fans over here.

But Sri Lanka's the hot spot.
