Fitzy explained that Mel was supposed to be in the studio, but her management were continually calling in to let them know she would be late.
He continued: ‘Then we got her on the phone and said, “Where are you? You still in the car?”‘
‘And she said, “Nah, I’m at home,” and we just went, “Oh, you’re kidding, aren’t you?” So rude… and she said, “Well, I’ll never talk to you again.”‘

Another celebrity that received a less-than stellar report was Daniel Craig, who Fitzy and Wippa claimed was too wrapped up in playing 007.
‘What he needed to realise was that his name is Daniel Craig and not James Bond,’ Wippa said.
In another memorable encounter, British musician Taio Cruz also refused to take off his sunglasses when Fitzy mispronounced his name.
And Wippa famously clashed with Bruce Willis – who has spoken about his sobriety in the past – after he insisted the pair share a beer.

‘We only had three minutes – this is in LA at the Four Seasons – and I offered him a beer, then the interview went really badly and I couldn’t work out why until I walked out the door,’ Wippa said,
It wasn’t all bad, however, with Fitzy and Wippa praising Denzel Washington for his sense of humour and Hugh Jackman for his approachable manner.
Ricky Gervais was also described as unpretentious because he did not surround himself with publicists.
