"They're real people and I've been watching them watch our show and I've particularly enjoyed their reaction to me having sex with this hot mother than going home and having sex with my wife, Nicole." He then quoted one of the more risqué comments from Ellie and Izzi from the episode, causing Stephen to burst out laughing.
