Episode details

Radio Scotland,20 Mar 2026,28 mins,

We are gathered here today...to talk about marriage. Do people still want to say “I do”?

Situationships with Sophie and Christine
Contains some strong language and some scenes of a sexual nature.

Available for over a year

Award-winning romance novelist, Sophie Gravia and TV personality, model and fellow author Christine McGuinness talk about… marriage. Christine is down for a big, gay, sparkly blessing — but… are people even still saying “I do,”? Then the Hotmess Hotline dives straight into polyamory and non‑monogamy. Is it something Sophie and Christine would ever actually try, or would they simply combust from the admin alone? They discuss being childfree by choice after Charlie XCX spoke about having children not being right for her right now, and should people maybe stop asking women about babies like it’s a personality quiz? Probably yes.
