WE'VE REACHED DOUBLE FIGURES - GO US! This week, Ali and Nat ad lib with singer, actor and winner of season six of ITV's The X Factor, Joe McElderry! Nat LOVED hearing another Geordie accent on the pod! Joe is best known as an English singer and songwriter. He won the sixth series of the ITV show The X Factor in 2009. His first single "The Climb" reached number one on both the UK Singles Chart and the Irish Singles Charts. He was also crowned the winner of the second series of Popstar to Operastar in 2011 and the first series of The Jump in 2014. In 2015, McElderry played the lead role of Joseph in the touring production of the Andrew Lloyd Webber and Tim Rice musical Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat. To date he has released five top 20 albums – two of them reaching the UK top three, a record for a solo X Factor winner. He was the first X Factor contestant to release a fourth album. As of 2014, McElderry has sold over 2 million records worldwide. Later this year Joe hopes to be appearing in Humpty Dumpy at Newcastle's Theatre Royal.

Ali and Nat experienced a few sound issues this week, but tried their best to rectify them. Hopefully it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the episode, but we know you're all here for Joe, anyway, who sounds beaut as ever!
