The only time we are allowing the #friendshipgoalz hashtag in serious way is to describe Made in Chelsea’s Jess WoodleyandGeorgia ‘Toff’ Toffolo. From making Chelsea (and our Monday nights) a brighter place, to helping people out with their life advice, to the pair even having their own SONG. But more of that in a minute.

We caught up with girls to discuss all things music and to create the dream playlist that will cover EVERY occasion. Think sombre Sunday afternoon train journeys to to being in a club shouting ‘ARGH THIS IS OUR SONG’ and combusting into a questionable sequence of stomping and hip-thrusting and everything else in between.

LETS GO.

Hello Jess and Toff! What was the first album you ever bought?

Jess: Avril Lavigne's Let Go

Toff: Oh my god that was mine! I can picture the cover of it.

Jess: I think Toff was more of the S Club girl and i was more like an Avril Lavigne wannabe. You know when you had the weird belts that were the same material as the trousers? And the trousers that went bigger at the bottoms to cover your shoes? Toff did you wear them?

Toff: No I didn’t wear them! When I was 12 I was really into vinyl. I know I’m not that cool now,but I used to be. My first was Abba - Gold. Or it might have be Blondie Parallel Lines? I can’t remember... I know check me out!

That's a lot cooler than we were at 12 years old! What was your first concert/gig?

Toff: Mine was S Club 7!

Jess: Mine was actually the Red Hot Chilli Peppers. Cool kid I know!

Which 90’s band would you LOVE to get back together?

Jess: Blink 182, obviously. I think they might be back together actually, but they were the one.

Toff : Mine is 5ive! You know, ‘When the rainy days are dying. ‘Gotta keep on, keep on trying aaaaaaaahhhhh!’ [Both break into a fab rendition of Gotta Keep on Moving]

What nostalgia song do you listen to at 4AM?

Jess: Toff’s is Dreams by Gabrielle and mine is Landslide by Dixie Chicks.

Best gym song to give you that push during a spin class?

Jess: Mine is Cher Believe… ‘Do you belieeeeve in life after love!’. I don’t have a playlist especially for the gym, I just listen to Spanish reggaeton because it’s funny!

Toff: I listen to Take That

Jess: Yeah, she listens to Take That! Quite rogue from Toff

Best last dance song to flirt with the boy you like?

Jess: Mr Brightside by The Killers!

Toff: Er, ‘I’ve been coming out of my cage and I’m doing just fine?’ That’s a bit weird!

Jess: Or Kiss It Better by RIhRih that’s a smooch song

Toff: Is it? I don’t know that one!

Jess: You do! ‘Mer mer mer merrr Kiss it better!’

Toff: No, no that’s not a good one, Everlasting Love by Natalie Cole. I always put it on, I love it.

What do listen to if you’re trying to concentrate and get some work done?

Toff: Mine is Van Morrison, maybe Into The Mystic or Days Like This.

Jess: Mine's Where Do You Go To My Lovely by Peter Sarstedt.

Toff: No that's our song!

Jess: We actually have our own song! You know when people have their own song? That’s a private exclusive. Whenever I hear it I think of you!

Best song to listen to when you’re getting ready to go out?

Toff: Mine's Zorba the Greek! The plate smashing song? You Know it?

Jess: It gets her funked up! Mine is Texas - Inner Smile

Toff: You know, the one from Bend It Like Beckham!

Both: Yeh, yeh, yeh yeh!

A song which comes on in the club and you will IMMEDIATELY start shimmying to?

Jess: Yeah mine is Palance by JW & Blaze! Listen to it, it’s really funny. If I ever hear that song, I just love it. It always comes on actually in Caribbean places, you know, when I get loose! What about you Toff, what’s your favourite banger? When you’re in a club and you’re like ‘aaaahhhh!’

Toff: Mine is Dancing in The Moonlight, I love it!

What song do you listen to on a Sunday afternoon train journey?

Jess: Mine is Bon Iver - For Emma, or Bombay Bicycle Club.

Toff: Mine is you know home by Edward Sharp, and it’s like ‘bam bam baaam bam.’

Jess: You know when you’re on your train listening to music and your life feels like a film and you’re staring out the window?

If there was a song to sum up your day today what would it be and why?

Jess: Mine is Tame Impala The Less I Know The Better - it’s the theme tune of my life actually. Every day is that song.

Toff: Mine's Good Grief by Bastille, I went out last night so I’m feeling hungover.

Which artist have you recently discovered and love?

Jess: Francis In The Lights are fucking awesome, you need to listen to their song, it’s a banger… oh wait, I’ve accidentally put on Stranger Things! A new song I've discovered is Chet Faker Birthday Card, which I love. Also, a band called San Scout, they’re up and coming! we’re going to all their gigs at the moment.

Toff: No, I’m quite old fashioned, I just like recycling crap!

Jess: Toff recycles.

Toff: If you want me to find a banger from the nineties I can do that!

Thanks Jess and Toff!
