Last One Laughing star Lou Sanders recalls wasting £450 on a magic wand a healer claimed would make her 'beautiful'

Lou Sanders has recalled how she once wasted £450 on a magic wand that a healer claimed would make her 'beautiful'. 

The Last One Laughing star, 47, joined Spent podcast host Matt Edmondson on Tuesday, where the pair delved into her chaotic spending habits - including buying a magic wand she has yet to properly 'experiment' with.

Speaking on the podcast, Lou revealed one of her most 'ridiculous purchases,' saying: 'Well, I bought a magic wand. Not, not a euphemism.'

Matt replied: 'Tell me more.'

Lou continued: It's a magic wand that one of my healers' husband said, "buy this magic wand". 

'It was quite expensive, was about 450 pounds. They do do knock off ones from China. And I said, "you know, should I buy a knockoff one for China?" He said, you know, "are you mad?" You've got to get a legit one. 

'So I bought it. It is like a hair dryer with crystals in, and I watched lots of videos of sort of Korean women saying, "if you want to be beautiful, you got to use this magic wand on your face." 

Wanting further clarification, Matt asked: 'What is its purpose?' 

Lou replied: I don't really know. I didn't look into it enough to be able to talk about it with anything other than ridicule. And also, the other thing is, I'm not really using it, so that's not ideal.' 

Matt then asked: 'Is it called a magic wand?'  

Unsure, Lou responded: 'It's called a hurt something or something. It's all to do with vibration and frequency.'

Matt asked: 'Does it plug in?'  

Lou replied: 'It does? Oh, you've got me there? No, I think I have used it a few times, but then I lost it, then I found it the other day in a box, and I thought, that's a real result. 

She continued: 'I'll put that away. Good to know. I've got it and I'll use it later, where everything's been in disarray, but I'm now going to move back into my bedroom, then get a little routine going, and I dare say, the magic wand will make it in, just to see.'

Matt asked: 'What are we hoping it will do?'

Lou smiled and said: 'Okay, make me beautiful. Beautiful healing. It's very good if you've got an injury. Apparently, I'll let you know. I'll do an experiment. I'll let you know.'

Lou starred in the first series of Last One Laughing UK, which was released on Amazon Prime Video in 2025. 

She was one of the contestants competing in the series, which featured a lineup of comedians trying to make each other laugh while keeping a straight face. 

Just last month, Last One Laughing confirmed it will return for a third series - just hours after the newest episodes dropped on Prime Video.

The second series debuted on March 19, with a whole host of much-loved comedians taking part.

Meanwhile, the premise sees these comics in close quarters for six hours - while trying to make the others crack up. 

Once a contestant has laughed twice, they are eliminated from the contest.

According to The Sun, series three will begin filming in the spring to be aired next year - while a special will go out at Halloween.

A show insider told the publication: 'Last One Laughing is unquestionably one of the most talked-about TV shows of the past year, and it's not a huge surprise that more has now been ordered. 

'But no one expected them to reveal there'd be a new season and a special coming out in the same year. 

'At the rate at which it's gaining momentum, the calibre of comedian they'll attract for series three will be off the scale.'  

Amazon boss Tara Erer said of the programme: 'We've already made this format in over 20 countries. Wherever it goes, it becomes a huge hit.

'With the UK, we knew it would be successful. But the scale at which it grew was a welcome surprise.'

Asked if it will keep coming back, she added: 'That's the goal.

'I think it can go on and on and keep the quality at the level that we started with.'

Furthermore, both series to date have been presented by Jimmy Carr and Roisin Conaty.

The first edition saw legendary Bob Mortimer take the win, triumphing over Richard Ayoade in a tense final face-off.

Bob, 66, has returned for series two to defend his champion status, but with brand new opponents this time. 

This includes Alan Carr, David Mitchell, Romesh Ranganathan, Diane Morgan, Mel Giedroyc, Maisie Adam, Gbemsiola Ikumelo, Amy Gledhill and Sam Campbell.

The line-up for the second series was confirmed last year, with fans quickly flocking to X, formerly Twitter, to express their delight.

One said of the star-studded lineup: 'Epic line up,' as a second chimed in: 'Romesh could smash this!!'

'I think this is the best show ever created,' a third wrote, while a fourth added: 'Bob to retain his crown. All hail king bob.'

'David Mitchell v Bob is going to be an all-timer,' another penned, while someone else agreed: 'The casting on this one!! You don't want to be around Sam Campbell.'

'So excited!! First season was so good. This line up looks like its going to be as good as the first season,' someone else concluded.
