Let's see who is in our Send To All box this week.
She has actually performed twice on this show.
it's Ellie Goulding!
CHEERING What about that?!
Go on, Ellie!
Amazing.
Help me. Help!
How are you really?
I'm, er...quite nervous.
LAUGHTER
So, first off,
tell me who you're sitting with in the box this evening, Ellie.
Well, this is my husband, Caspar.
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
The dashing Caspar.
This is my very good friend, Lucy. Say hello, Lucy. Hi.
Hello! Welcome. Hi. Hi, Michael.
And this is my very good friend, Emma,
so here's us. Nice to see you. Very good.
So you text a lot?
I only text. Great.
Well, if you'd like to put your phone into that cushion.
You are no longer in control of it.
CHEERING Pop it in and we'll get it done.
Thank you, darling.
OK, here it comes!
# Anything could happen
# Anything could... #
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh, ooh
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh, ooh. #
Anything could happen!
OK.
Ladies and gentlemen, anything CAN happen
because I am now in possession of Ellie Goulding's mobile phone!
CHEERING
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh, ooh
# Ooh, ooh, ooh, oo-ooh. #
Was that the alarm clock one? No?
HIGH-PITCHED: Morning!
Now, I'm going to plug this in, and...
YAY!
So...
The text, and it's a fun one, actually.
By the way, at the moment, where are you in your cycle...?
Sorry. I have to explain.
LAUGHTER
Sorry. Let me finish that sentence.
Incredibly awful moment.
"Where are you in your cycle?"
Where are you in your CREATIVE cycle?
Because musicians, you go through cycles, don't you?
Writing the album, then recording, then touring.
So where are you in your musical cycle?
My musical cycle.
I just finished my fourth album.
CHEERING Fourth album? Yep.
OK.
So the text is -
"This might sound...
"..a bit weird...
"..but I'm writing..."
Nice.
"..a song...
"all about...
"..you." LAUGHTER
Yes, Ellie, you're writing a song
about everybody in your phone individually who will receive this.
Oh, my God.
I hate that there'll be some replies saying,
"Oh, I always knew that you were going to do this.
"Thank you so much."
LAUGHTER
I can see it coming now. Aw, God.
"I'd love..." Oh, no.
"..some help with the lyrics."
"I'm on the verse...
HE GIGGLES
"..about the first time we met.
"What do you remember..." No!
"..about that...
"..unforgettable moment?"
LAUGHTER
MICHAEL GIGGLES
OK. Well, this is the fun bit, Ellie. You'll like this.
Oh, no! There's another twist?!
"And if you can...
HE GIGGLES
"..make it rhyme...
LAUGHTER
"..even better.
"Hurry! I'm in the studio...
"..right now,
"and my creative juices...
LAUGHTER
"..are flowing."
All right. Now, we're going to sign this off.
Would you put any emojis there? Maybe a microphone or a...?
I-I would just put just one kiss.
Small... A small one. Not a big one. Small kiss.
Yeah. Oh, very authent... Very... Like that? Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Perfect, yeah.
Maybe add a "lol".
"My creative... My creative juices flowing lol."
You're embarrassed about the creative juices flowing.
LAUGHTER
Shall we put a lol? AUDIENCE: Yes!
They love lol!
And do I just put lol like that? It's all in a row.
Yeah, "lol", then kiss. Yes?
Perfect. That is so you. That is so you! That is so me.
Ladies and gentlemen, shall I send this text
to everybody in Ellie's phone?
CHEERING
That text has gone! PHONE BLEEPS
And we will be finding out later in the show
what replies Ellie gets, but one more time, please,
for the lovely... The newlyweds.
..it's Ellie and her new husband, Caspar!
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE
Thank you so, so much.
Welcome!
It's time to find out what replies Ellie has had in Send To All!
CHEERING Oh, yes!
So, who is Nick...?
Whoa!
Nick Jopling.
This is a relation, obviously, of you. Caspar's father.
Your father? I knew he'd reply!
Well, the news of this text is he has texted twice.
Initially, he texted,
"Oh, wow. Going into a quiet corner."
LAUGHTER
Then he has gone into said quiet corner...
..and he has composed what can only be described...
..as an actual song.
Oh, I feel so bad! Are we ready? Oh, no!
"Father's Day, '17
"In a house where family is seen
"As the core of our very being
"It was a sunny day that just got brighter
"That day you came to lunch
"The first taste of an apple is not in the bite, but in the eye
"And this was the case when I saw your face..."
LAUGHTER There's more!
"It was a sunny day that just got brighter
"That day you came to lunch..."
That's a repeat. It's like... It's a song.
"You laughed at my jokes
"And you were just who you are
"And joined our family before saying, 'Au, revoir...' "
LAUGHTER
"It was a sunny day that just got brighter
"That day you came to lunch."
CHEERING AND APPLAUSE Oh, very good!
Then he's followed it up with a bit of admin.
He's just gone, "By the way,
"the supper is on the fourth and not the second."
LAUGHTER
Oh, your dad's a right hoot!
Oh, God.
Ah! Beatrice?
Yes. Who's Beatrice?
She's a very good friend of ours. A very good friend. Yeah. OK.
She's not in the royal family?
Well, yeah, yeah.
She's in the royal family.
She... Yes.
She stands on the Buckingham Palace balcony, waving.
"My dearest friend I love so dearly
"I feel so lucky
"I adore this girl so clearly
"From wedding chats to Saturday evening
"I adore this lady with every feeling
"There truly isn't a time that our friendship could equal a rhyme."
AUDIENCE: Aww! Very, very nice!
So sweet!
Ellie's getting all emotional!
Ellie!
That was very sweet. That WAS very sweet. That was very sweet.
It's really sweet.
I'm sorry. You're welling...
It's a Send To All first!
I thought they were just going to be all really like,
"What the hell? What is this?" So it's actually very nice.
They're all writing songs. You have to release an album!
Send To All! Ellie Sings Send To All - out this Christmas!
Charlotte Jopling.
We've got another family... Caspar's sister.
Oh, sister Caspar.
"I'll give it a go (You little weirdo)..."
Oh, she's already rhyming! She's already rhyming!
"I met you at the start before you took my brother's heart
"You gave me such an amazing embrace
"You fell straight into place
"If Caspar was the race, you came in first place
"Please don't put this into any of your tracks
"If you do, more fool you, I love you."
What an amazing...! AUDIENCE: Aww!
This is supposed to be funny!
It's supposed to be comedy!
This is the most romantic things I've ever heard, ever!
Who the hell are the Joplings?!
They're so amazing!
I want a Jopling!
Incredible.
Ah! OK, let's try this one.
Jamie R. Who's that?
Jamie Reuben. My friend, Jamie. Oh, God, he's going to love this!
Jamie, OK. Yes. God. Yeah.
"Remember I pretended to be a vegan
"It was a lie that went awry
"And when the main course came, I wanted to die."
LAUGHTER
He was trying to impress me, pre-Caspar.
I think he wanted to impress me by being vegan,
which I was at the time! Oh, pretending he was vegan!
And so actually... No, he's an absolute carnivore. Right.
Well, I'm sure Caspar loves the stories that start,
"This was pre-Caspar."
Thank you, my brave friend, for sitting there.
What a 21st-century man you are!
LAUGHTER
Um...Jimmy Blunt.
Oh!
Is that James Blunt? Yeah!
I think I know it's James Blunt, but because he's just texted,
"I'd go for something like, 'I saw your face in a crowded place'."
LAUGHTER
# I saw your face in a crowded place,
# And I felt like I should be with you. #
OK. That was an amazingly unexpectedly...
I want more! I want more!
This is...a night of Send To All firsts.
Never has anyone shed a tear
and certainly never has anybody said, "I want more."
LAUGHTER
What an amazing Send To All you've been!
Ladies and gentlemen, the fantastic Ellie Goulding.
What about that? Amazing!
CHEERING
