"I mostly like to relate to my drunk mums in the audience, 'cause they're my audience," Celeste revealed. "You know drunk mums, we get out, what, twice a year? So when we get out, we like, 'get out' so they make up for a lot of fun in the show."

Street agreed: "Amen to that, Laura and I are two drunk mums."
