Great Company with Jamie Laing

From Blink Twice to her portrayal of Whitney Houston in the 2023 biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody, Naomi Ackie has built an award-winning career on her ability to truly embody the characters she plays.

But away from the screen, Naomi is a perfectionist who has been incredibly hard on herself.

In this Great Moment, she reflects on how playing other people has helped her find herself, and why she’s finally learning to celebrate her own successes.

Jack Osbourne was one of the world’s first reality stars. As the son of rock legends, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, he grew up in the spotlight. Then, when his family let MTV into their home for The Osbournes, eight million people got a front row seat to his teenage years.

But growing up in the spotlight wasn’t always easy. In this conversation, Jack reflects on being dragged into bars at 16, struggling with addiction and the moment he began turning his life around.

Now a dad of five, Jack reflects on how far he’s come, the recent heartbreak of losing his dad, Ozzy and he shares why he wants to keep Ozzy’s legacy alive with AI.

In this conversation Jack shares:

• What life was really like at the height of The Osbournes
• The best thing about his dad, Ozzy
• How fame and alcohol helped him rebel as a teenager
• Why living with MS doesn’t scare him
• How he hopes to keep Ozzy’s legacy alive with AI

Jack is a reminder that who you were when you were younger doesn’t have to define who you become.

Jack Osbourne is Great Company.

Rob Rinder first came into our lives as Judge Rinder, Britain’s answer to Judge Judy, and we quickly fell in love with his quick wit and intelligence.

Since then, the criminal barrister turned broadcaster has won a BAFTA with Rylan Clark for Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, been awarded an MBE for his work in Holocaust education, and written Sunday Times bestselling novels.

But long before he walked into the courtroom, Rob dreamed of becoming an actor.

In this Great Moment, Rob opens up about how he created a different version of himself to fit in, why he walked away from what he thought was his life’s calling, and what came next.

Tinie Tempah made his name as a pioneer of the grime scene. Over the past 15 years, he’s built an incredible career, racking up more than five billion streams and giving us iconic hits like Pass Out, Miami 2 Ibiza and Girls Like.

I was so excited to sit down with him on Great Company. And one thing that really stuck with me was just how much he has always believed that he'd be successful.

But for Tinie, that's not just been wishful thinking. He’s always had a clear vision for his life and been intentional about making it happen. Winning at life has always been the goal and that means embracing failures, learning lessons and being open to new opportunities.

In this conversation Tinie shares:

• How he manifested his music career

• What his mum taught him about hard work and success

• His fear of being a one hit wonder

• Why he stepped back from music for nine years - and what’s brought him back

This conversation is a reminder that believing in yourself is the first step to achieving anything.

Tinie Tempah is Great Company.

Tinie’s new album, The Night’s Not Dead, is out NOW!

Olivia Attwood is one of the UK’s most successful reality TV stars. From winning the nation’s hearts on Love Island to hosting her amazing podcast, Olivia’s House, and presenting award-winning documentaries, she’s built a career that’s completely her own.

To the outside world, it might seem like there’s nothing Liv can’t do. But behind the scenes, she faces the same pressures and worries as the rest of us.

In this Great Moment, Liv opens up about why she no longer feels bad for setting boundaries and she shares how she’s learnt to manage her anxiety to become the happiest she’s ever been.

Bea Elton, known online as Clean With Bea, deep cleans homes for free, helping people who are often struggling with their mental health or going through an incredibly difficult time.

The jobs can be extreme, with some homes containing mice, maggots, years of built up rubbish and conditions that could be classed as biohazards.

Bea transforms these spaces into clean, liveable homes and shares the journey with her six million followers online.

But Bea’s work is about much more than cleaning. She is passionate about showing that people who are struggling need kindness and support, not judgement.

In this conversation, Bea shares:

- Why she started making cleaning content

- The stories of the people she helps

- How her work has grown into campaigning and driving social change

- What motivates her to keep going and caring for people

Bea is a really special person. She’s a reminder that we can all do more to help others - and that sometimes, simply choosing to care can make a real difference.

Bea Elton is Great Company.

Paloma Faith was one of the first guests to join me on Great Company. She’s one of Britain’s most distinctive music artists, known for her iconic style, incredible music and never being afraid to push boundaries.

Watch the full episode HERE!

New episodes of Mad, Sad and Bad with Paloma Faith are available every Tuesday from 6th October.

Janette Manrara has been a fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing for 14 years, first as one of its professional dancers and then as the co-host of its spin-off show, It Takes Two.

I first met Janette during my time on Strictly and from the moment we met, her love of dance was completely infectious.

Earlier this year, Janette announced she would no longer be part of It Takes Two. In our conversation, she opens up about what it was like to say goodbye to the show that's shaped much of her career, and why she's more excited than ever about what comes next.

Janette shares:

• What it felt like to miss out on the Strictly hosting job
• What working on Strictly Come Dancing was like
• Discovering who she was outside of dancing before becoming a mum
• Why her biggest goal in life is to go to Cuba

Janette brings pure joy to every room she walks into. She is a reminder that when one dream comes to an end, it doesn’t mean the story is over.

Janette Manrara is Great Company.

Janette stars in Affluenza, now playing at Riverside Studios. Find out more HERE

With a new series of Celebrity Traitors starting this week, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit my conversation with everyone's favourite Faithful, Nick Mohammed.

Last year, we all watched Nick come agonisingly close to winning the show. Away from the castle, he’s best known for his awkwardly hilarious comedy character, Mr Swallow, and his Emmy-nominated turn as Nathan Shelley in Ted Lasso.

In this Great Moment, Nick reveals what it was really like inside the castle, and why going on Celebrity Traitors was only possible thanks to one person, his wife, Becca.

Rob Beckett burst onto the comedy scene 15 years ago. Since then, he’s become one of the UK’s most successful and popular comedians - from his sell-out stand up tours to his hit podcast Parenting Hell, Rob & Romesh Vs and now, Celebrity Traitors.

I'd been trying to get Rob on the show for years, so finally sitting down with him for a proper laugh was a real pinch-me moment.

Behind the jokes is a comedian who's found his voice, stopped worrying about what other people think, and uses it to give us all a bit of light relief from the doom and gloom in the world.

In this conversation, Rob shares:

• Being told he was stupid by a teacher and how it stayed with him
• How he found his voice as a comedian
• The moment on Rob vs Romesh he realised he was burnt out
• How having kids holds a mirror up to your own childhood
• A surprise message from his wife, Lou

This conversation is a reminder that the best version of yourself is usually the one where you stop trying to be anything else.

Rob Beckett is Great Company.
