And once they got straight into the interview, it became clear that George wasn’t going to get a word in all night – and Ingrid was there to throw some real truths out to the nation.
At first, Ray put it to her that George talks about her all the time on the radio but that a lot of people know very little about her:
“So does he” she said

Or even a show together would work pretty well
Whoops!
