Episode 1 with Em Wallbank and Jill Scott
Welcome to the very first episode of Hot Seat — the show where quick wit meets candid conversation. Kicking things off, we’ve got our host Em Wallbank, the Yorkshire-born comedian, presenter, and online personality known for her sharp one-liners, spot-on impressions, and signature northern charm. From viral TikToks to red carpet interviews, Em’s built a reputation as one of the UK’s most exciting comedic voices.
Joining her in the hot seat is none other than Jill Scott MBE — England football legend, Euro 2022 champion, and Queen of the Jungle. With over 160 caps for her country and a career spanning four World Cups, Jill’s a true sporting icon. Since hanging up her boots, she’s brought her trademark humour, honesty, and competitive spirit to everything she does — and she knows a thing or two about staying cool under pressure.
Together, Em and Jill kick off Hot Seat with laughs, stories, and a few surprises — all while turning up the heat on what it means to stay hydrated.
Episode 2 with Em Wallbank and @itsbigzuu
Hosting once again is Em Wallbank, the sharp-tongued comedian and presenter known for her quick wit and northern charm. This week, she’s turning up the heat with none other than Big Zuu — rapper, TV chef, and all-round entertainer.
From his breakout success in grime to his BAFTA-winning cooking show, Big Zuu has built a career out of creativity, humour, and heart. He’s as comfortable behind the mic as he is in the kitchen, and now he’s stepping into the Hot Seat to serve up stories, laughs, and maybe even a few sweat drops.
Get ready — because when Em meets Zuu, things are about to get seriously spicy.
