In this episode we meet TV presenter, black belt, and Guinness World Record holder Haruka Kuroda!

She tells us all about her adventures as the star of CBBC's Officially Amazing, and playing Noodle in The Gorillaz. We discuss the challenges of trying to raise a bilingual child, and the differences in parenting culture between the UK and Japan.

Then it's back to the usual silliness as Ellie and Helen try to break a world record which involves stuffing wine gums into an orifice. We chat about the difficulties of trying to breastfeed in Lakeside Thurrock car park, and finish with a fantastic Scummy Mummies Confession.
