Here's the transcript from today's episode:
Doja Cat has criticised Stranger Things actor Noah Schnapp for sharing her private messages on Tik Tok. The Grammy-winning artist had communicated with the Netflix actor asking after his co-star, Joseph Quinn, and if he had a girlfriend, which prompted Noah to share the exchanges on social media.
Noah has since deleted the messages from Doja, but the Kiss Me More star has since spoken out, saying she didn't feel comfortable with Noah making the information public, labelling the move as 'socially unaware' and 'whack'. However, Doja did give the actor the benefit of the doubt, saying we all make mistakes when we're young.

The Homeland star will put on a show at London's Omeara in August before heading to Wilderness Festival in Oxford. His first solo album will be released next year.
And they're one of the biggest boy bands of all time thanks to their long-running career, but at the end of this year, the Backstreet Boys will be releasing their very first Christmas album. The five-piece group announced this week that their festive record, A Very Backstreet Christmas, will launch in October and will feature a boyband twist on some Christmas classics as well as three original news songs.
