Is anyone here watching Sophie Ellis-Bextor's Friday night discos?

I'm.a big fan of hers, saw her live last year a few weeks after she had baby no 5 and she was incredible.
So I've been watching her Friday evening kitchen discos and dancing away to them, but I can't work out who is filming them. The first part is filmed by her husband, and this evening she acknowledges that, but then he joins her in front of the camera so he can't be filming at that point. And it can't be one of the older kids because they too are all on camera or, in the case of the second son, upstairs not joining in. So do they have someone else living there (a nanny) who is filming the last bit? I can't work it out.

I caught last week's, and flicked through it. It was fun but I didn't feel any need to get it into the calendar this week. She is an absolute love though, isn't she!

I would think she has a nanny.

Yes, she’s fab! Brings a bit of sunshine!

Maybe they set the camera on a stand?
Haven’t seen it so I don’t know.
I have two daughters in their twenties and we have been having Friday night dance night, with playlists they have made - and prosecco to get us in the swing.

thanks for the replies

The camera isnt on a stand. it zooms in and out and follows Sophie around as shes dancing.

Dh and I love her. it's such good fun on a Friday night

I love her! I can't believe she has had fuckin 5 kids, she looks incredible and literally hasn't aged since she came on the scene 20 years ago!

I imagine it’s a live-in nanny. I have always liked her but even more since I read an interview with her where she said that her single biggest expense was childcare and how important it is to enable her to work. It’s so unusual to hear celebrities talk honestly about the importance of childcare rather than pretending that they just are just muddling through like everyone else.

I wonder if she has five in private school😮 the house looks massive.

What platform are they on?

PuntoEBasta · 10/05/2020 10:37

@walkthroughthefire Instagram live story on a Friday night, then later uploaded to her YouTube channel.

PuntoEBasta · 10/05/2020 10:39

They are great. Absolute chaos as they dance around and try not to tread on the baby, with ad-libs from Sophie like 'careful up there, we can't go to hospital right now' as one son leaps from the armchair.

Thank you @PuntoEBasta

I love the oldest boy being so tender and lovely with the baby.
