This week’s episode begins in the most glamorous of settings: Scott broadcasting from a Premier Inn lounge in Sunderland, asking the big questions life throws at a man surrounded by patterned carpet and unlimited coffee refills.
From there, it’s straight into a Top 5 of celebrity deaths that genuinely stopped us in our tracks — from outright murder, to cultural immortals we all foolishly assumed would live forever.
