Jess McGuire probes a line-up of comedic talent on their experiences in the lovosphere. How far are they willing to exploit their private lives for comedic purposes? Is anything truly off limits? And are all those hilarious tales – did they really find their mother-in-law in the bath with the best man – actually true?

With Felicity Ward and Ben Pobjie.
