a

faithful.
7:06
And obviously, the producers are in the room listening to your phone calls.
7:11
So I couldn't...
7:11
I knew I wasn't going to be able to tell her, but we had, like... like a secret little way of telling each other.
7:17
So yeah, like I told her something like, if I mention this series on Netflix, then that means I'm a traitor.
7:24
If I don't mention it, then that means I'm a faithful.

There's a
1:53
picture.
1:54
There's a picture that I've not told you about.
1:56
So there's a picture.
1:58
and me and him are looking back at.
2:02
No, let me talk.
2:04
There's a picture of me and Mark looking back on like a clip of our routine in the rehearsal room.

Did that give you any, because you said you were coming out of playing canvas, but did that give you any experience or leg up?
4:24
I like the touch of,
4:25
like, the glamour of it and, like, learning routines and dancing to, like, some of my favorite songs.
4:31
Who's your dream to be paired with? I would say Mark or Val.
4:34
That'd be hot.
4:35
And like, I know Mark.
4:36
We already have that friendship.
4:37
And then I met Val and we had that little dance that we did.

13 MINS LATER

17:27
What advice do you have for Cosmo readers who are really, like, who have been cheated on or worry about that and kind of ruminate about that?
1:10
Now.
1:11
[upbeat music] Andy Cohen, stop the world I want to get off.
1:15
King, king of late night.
1:18
Let's go.
1:18
M-C, A-C. Let's go.
5:22
Well, people online are [beep].
5:23
They were like, "He's an obvious traitor." And I was like, "Well, then wh- all of the faithfuls voted for him."
5:42
How do you think that impacted you and the family?
5:47
It was, it was a very nasty breakup.
5:51
And a lot went on, like things that I would never want to talk about because I would never want to like...
6:00
I don't know, I wouldn't want to be saying things about my mum or dad.
6:04
But now I don't have a relationship with my dad.
6:09
When the breakup happened, my mum was trying to keep a roof over four kids and herself.
6:15
And, you know, we were all in school.

13 MINS LATER

19:38
Yes, we do.
8:18
Do you guys, like, dance? Yeah.
8:19
And everyone used to say, before the round table, they would go, "Maura, do not look at me."
9:56
... and you, you see that he is obviously a traitor, how does that make you feel?
9:59
Oh, yeah.
10:00
Anyone brought up Rob's name to me, what was I like, I would snap at them.
23:33
What are in the comments? What do you see?
23:36
Mostly I see...
23:39
She can't keep a man.
23:41
That's one of the, lately, that's one of the biggest ones.
23:45
Like, I think it's quite empowering to know when to walk away and not put up with that shit.
23:52
And I just won't put up with that.
23:53
And maybe I'll never have a man because of that.
24:40
How so?
