This was meant to be our proper festive thrifted gift exchange with Kate and Luke — mulled cider from Fortnum’s, cosy Norfolk vibes, the lot. Instead, I’m sat here in London with Pumpkin trying to launch my camera, having to admit I made a huge mistake: I deleted all the footage of our gift swap. In a very “my brain said tick, move on” moment, I erased it on my laptop and then later cleared the memory card too… and it didn’t even click for a couple of days. Absolute nightmare. I did genuinely try everything to get it back — recovery software, step-by-step guides, hours of mind-numbing trawling (yes, I even chucked it into ChatGPT to help me figure out what to do). It looked hopeful, but after staying up until about 3:30am, I had to accept it was gone. The good news is: Kate and Luke’s videos are live on their channels, so you can still get the unwrapping and the banter. And because they’re both legends, they filmed little “remote” hauls from home so you can still see what I thrifted for them — from car boot bargains to a couple of cheeky non-thrift bits. Biggest takeaway: back up your footage, especially anything you can’t re-film.
