How to even begin summarising this episode? Uh...let's just say...it's Hammer-time!
This episode starts with Nicole finally entering 'The Cabin', after the chaotic events that had left her in quite the predicament. Will Mike be super angry about the ketchup-incident, or will it inspire him to make their first fully intimate encounter extra memorable?
You can look forward to steamy moments in the shower, something involving a blind-fold, a bit of an introduction to kink, specifically BDSM and aftercare. And last but not least, Nicole inevitably snafus 'a thing', evoking her first proper punishment.
Tune in to see how Nicole handles the chaos and what surprises await in the world of Unruly Confessions!

No Drowning Nicky!
Unruly Confessions
12/12/24 • 90 min
What happens when one of the biggest metal band's in the world have a hotel to themselves? Find out this week, in Unruly Confessions with Arabella and Nicole (seriously, it's not Nicky) Get ready for your weekly dose of comedy as Nicole's not-so-secret crush on Jason becomes a running gag, and Arabella and Zander's fight for a moment alone together reaches new awkward heights.
Expect a splash of tension and a lot of silliness as the band and the girls take to the pool; Nicole and Carter grind each other's gears, and Nicole gets creepy while Jason is just trying to play. Mike takes Nicole into the sauna for an exercise in 'restraint'. Then things go a bit far in the pool. Envisage a bit of hydro bondage, and 'a don't try this at home' in this episode.
Meanwhile, Arabella and Zander have a night-cap, hoping that they'd finally get to go at it, but Jason is there to 'cock-block' the deed unintentionally. Arabella doesn't even get a kiss out of the fiasco.
The next morning, Nicole and Mike have morning sex before breakfast (which is of course shared with the rest of the band in detail) She does end up answering the phone in the middle of it to Bella as it gets a bit too intimate. And last, but not least Nicole ends up in the argument of a lifetime with Carter, that gets her sent up to the room. Will Bella and Nicole even be on tour anymore when we get back after the mid-season Christmas break?

Hell Fucking No, It’s Not Foreplay!
Unruly Confessions
11/07/24 • 58 min
What happens in the aftermath of Nicole being left to her own devices? Imagine just how furious Mike is is going to be as he's been looking for Nicole for an hour. This episode features more of Nicole’s usual mischief as it's all about the thrill of impending disaster and keeping you on your toes. However, as of last week, we’ve also met...
...Arabella, a dancer, a friend (a best friend), and a catalyst for drama. We're throwing you into the high-octane world of backstage intensity; from learning a bit about the brat tamers in the BDSM community to nostalgia-laden memories of Nicole and Bella’s first meeting at acting school in England. It's a whirlwind of camaraderie, humour, and drama that promises to keep you captivated.
Bella and Nicole reveal their hierarchy of the band members...to the audience, not to 'The Band'. The secret rankings of bandmates might be amusing, but they reveal so much about the way Bella and Nicole’s twisted minds work. This isn't just about music, tours, and sex (though that’s fun)—it's about the friendships and personal dynamics that make our fictional journey an unforgettable ride. Join us as we invite you into this world filled with laughter, tension, and the ever-enticing drama of band life.

What happens when your life takes an unexpected turn and lands you on your favourite band's tour bus? Join us on Unruly Confessions as we continue Nicole's journey after an unexpected encounter with the Band's frontman, Mike Solomon. Listen as Nicole panics getting ready after receiving a late text from Melissa Casey, and she frantically rushes to meet Billy at Watford Station. Feel the thrill and chaos as she races across London to meet Billy before it's too late. Added bonus of hearing Nicole and Arabella struggle and failing their way through various accents.
Join Nicole on the tour bus for the first time and experience the exhilarating atmosphere as she meets the rest of the band members—Zander, Jason, Carter, and Noah—each moment a blend of playfulness and confusion.
An intense yet amusing conversation about boundaries and expectations unfolds, offering insights into Mike's unique rules of engagement. As concerns about trust and responsibility arise, particularly from Carter, the band shows they are just as much brothers as they are musicians. Ending on a humorous note, this episode promises a wild ride filled with laughter, tensions, and a hint of what’s to come...
