Going viral wasn't the plan: life online, unfiltered - S2 Ep3

1 hour 1 minute

Going viral was never the plan...

In episode 3 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex unpack the messy, accidental, sometimes wonderful reality of building a life online. Nav's leftover roast pie hit 4.5 million views overnight. Alex's spa day vlog took off while she had the notifications turned off. Neither of them set out to do this, and neither of them is willing to pretend it's all curated brand trips and free stuff.

They get into:

What it's actually like being recognised in public (and the awkward John Lewis moment)

Why Nav gets criticised for portion sizes and Alex still feels judged on Instagram

The Brooklyn Beckham family drama and what it says about privilege

The proposed under-16 social media ban (and why they're both for it)

Being a "comfort" for strangers vs. a target for trolls

The cost of cultural criticism when you come from a community that doesn't always have your back

Dream collabs (Gordon Ramsay's butter chicken is involved)

And the truth about what they really thought of each other when they first met

Plus a Home Truth involving a Ryanair flash mob in Liverpool One, and the return of 'The Neighbour Dispute Court' judging real disputes from parcel-collecting nightmares to recipe theft (Nav's mum is in the dock).
