Margot Robbie, Emerald Fennell, and Alison Oliver take turns in the hot seat in this episode of “Where Is the Lie?”, where the stories get stranger with every question. From Margot letting “Mother Nature” decide what to do with a human foot she found on a beach, to Emerald describing a ghost who follows her around smelling like sweet potato, to Alison’s alleged 'The X Factor 'audition that Emerald would do almost anything to see, the line between truth and fiction grows increasingly blurred for the “Wuthering Heights” stars.
Participants play a game of \"Two Truths and a Lie,\" sharing unusual personal anecdotes. The guests recount stories involving hot air balloon crashes, mysterious discoveries, childhood mishaps, and surprising talents, while the hosts attempt to deduce which claim is fabricated.
Could you hang ten, hang five?
I don't know what that means.
Mmm, well...
Yes, that's why there was an investigation.
Whoa!
Oh, good
question.
Preliminary evidence.
I was involved in a hot air balloon crash.
Ha ha ha ha ha!
I once found a human foot on a beach in Nicaragua.
No.
When I was 14, I wrote and recorded my own rap demo.
Sorry, where was the hot air balloon?
In Australia, it was a date with my boyfriend at the time.
He was very nervous to go on the hot air balloon.
And then we crashed into a strawberry field.
And he looked at me and he's like, this is your fault.
This only happens when you're around.
How did it end up crashing?
It kind of bounced.
Foot, left or right foot?
It was hard to tell.
We picked it up and I was like,
look, this looks exactly like a foot.
Did you report it?
No, we asked the surf camp leader what we should do.
And she was this Hawaiian chick.
She said, we'll let mother nature tell us.
I don't know about this one.
I'm not sure about it.
And then, and then.
We buried it, and then that was it.
Oh, your rap song.
Rap demo.
Sing it.
Sing it.
I can't, I'm not going to sing it.
I also don't remember it.
It was so embarrassing.
Can you give us the title?
It was like my, I was called DJ, DJ Hecate,
no, DJ Hectic, and the album was called Hectic
Moles Club, which is what our girl group
in school was called at the time, and it was...
I think it's the mixtape,
I feel like I'd have heard it if it was real because I want
to hear it so bad.
What I struggle with the foot is that she didn't report it.
I can believe that Margot would let nature tell her not to,
basically to commit a crime.
That feels right.
I'm going to go with you.
Let's go foot.
Let's go foot.
Okay.
I think the lie is the foot.
Incorrect.
It was the mixtape wasn't it?
It was the blue!
It was the mixtape.
I'm sorry, I should have trusted you, I'm sorry.
Oh ****, because it's just like, I know,
but I do look like someone who would have made their own rap demo.
Preliminary
evidence.
The local fire department accused me of setting
my family home on fire when I was seven.
I totally believe that.
There's a ghost that follows me around everywhere I go.
When I was a child, I had an imaginary imaginary friend.
What was your imaginary imaginary friend? Did it have a name?
No, it didn't exist.
You pretended to have a pretend, an imaginary friend.
Because I wanted the attention of having
an imaginary friend without the commitment.
I really believe that. I love that.
Talk to me about the ghost.
Okay, she lived in my bedroom when I was growing up in the countryside,
and now she comes with me.
What does she look like?
She doesn't look like anything. She smells like sweet potato.
And you can sense that she's there?
Yeah, she only appears...
is felt by women.
Do other people feel her?
Other girls feel her.
Is she here right now?
You know that she's not here, no.
Do other people smell the sweet potato thing and go?
They feel her.
So my daughter walked past my bedroom
and she said, who's that woman?
And then the fire department thing,
how did you start the fire?
No, sorry, I didn't.
They accused me because I inserted myself
into the narrative when they interviewed me.
They said, were you upstairs when this fire started?
And I said, yes.
And you weren't?
My whole house did actually burn down.
It burned right down.
Oh, it did?
Your house burnt down?
Well, yes.
That's why there was an investigation.
Whoa.
I mean, would we...
I feel like we would have heard about this.
Oh, sugar.
I just feel like we would have heard about the ghost.
Yeah, true.
More than...
Like, the whole process of making...
And if it follows you all the time, I think...
I didn't say all the time, but...
It occasionally follows me.
Okay, let's go with the ghost.
We think the lie is that there's a ghost
that follows you around all the time.
You are correct.
Well there is a ghost in my bedroom but she doesn't follow me around.
And she doesn't smell like sweet.
She does smell like sweet.
Well that's the weirdest part of this.
And that's true.
Wow.
Thank you.
Preliminary evidence.
I came second in the Irish National Surfing Championships.
Surfing?
Yep.
Wow.
I auditioned for the X Factor.
And I had a hamster called Fudge who died on St Patrick's Day.
Where do you surf in Ireland?
So there's a place called Lahinch
on the west coast of Ireland which is in Clare
and my grandparents had a house there
and we'd go down every single summer.
My mum would put me and my sisters into a surf camp.
And when you went to Australia recently over
the years and that, did you surf?
I went, I did it in Perth.
Could you like a longboard or shortboard?
Longboard.
Could you hang ten, hang five?
I don't know what that means.
No, is that an Australian term?
No, that is just surfing.
Audition for the X-Factor, what did you think?
18.
Did they reject you or did you get through to the next round?
I was 15 and auditions came to Cork City
and they rang my mum and dad to confirm my age
and my dad told them that I was 15, I need to be 16.
Mate, you could have won X Factor if your dad had just known to lie.
What did you wear?
Oh, good question.
You would know that it was a low slung jeans skirt with Ugg boots.
I just remember I had a pink daisy rock guitar.
Tell us about Fudge, how long did he live?
Four years, died of old age.
No way!
Absolutely not.
No way!
Four years?
Four years?
Is that a long time?
Mine never lasted more than a week.
The surfing!
Surfing.
She didn't even know what hanging five was.
You do it.
No, you do it.
Okay.
We believe...
Okay, sorry.
I'd go with any of them, honestly, at this point.
We believe that fudge is a lie.
It's not the lie.
It's the surfing.
It's the lie.
It's the surfing.
I'm so sorry.
I'm so sorry.
You didn't know what hang five was.
It's so cool that you could have been on X Factor.
I did actually do surfing when I was younger, but I wasn't.
Does it exist?
No.
Were you on the television?
No, because you have
to go through about eight rounds before you get in front of Simon.
So you didn't get in front of Simon?
No.
I would do almost anything to watch that.
Thanks so much for watching
and be sure to check out Wuthering Heights in theatres.
Can you still play a guitar and sing?
I haven't done it in a really long time.
Like the surfing?
Lies.
