Dani Dyer is an absolute ray of sunshine and one of the most refreshingly honest voices out there when it comes to talking about life as a mum. 

After coming out of a tricky relationship, the arrival of her son Santiago felt like a real blessing and a real turning point in her life. 

In this Great Moment, Dani opens up about the highs and lows of motherhood, from the anxiety and guilt to the joy, and why she believes the most important thing through it all is women showing up and supporting other women.

Tanya Burr rose to fame as one of the UK’s original YouTubers. As part of the Brit Crew, she quickly became one of the most recognisable faces on the platform alongside Zoella, Alfie Deyes and Marcus Butler. 

I’ve always been fascinated by creators like Tanya and their ability to captivate millions of people from their bedrooms, so I was really excited to have her on Great Company. 

In our conversation, Tanya explains why she started YouTube and how quickly it turned into a career. She reveals how her self-worth became tied to how she was perceived online and why, after a very public break-up, she stepped away from YouTube in 2019 to rebuild her life away from the spotlight. 

In this episode, Tanya shares: 

• Her favourite memories of the Brit Crew
• Living with anxiety and how she’s learnt to manage it 
• Why she quit YouTube in 2019 
• Rebuilding her life after a public break up 
• Dating in her thirties and how she knew her boyfriend Dan was the one 

Most people would struggle to walk away from something as successful as Tanya’s YouTube career. But she did. She chose herself and her courage stayed with me long after our conversation ended. 

Tanya Burr is Great Company.

Is there any better feeling than a proper belly laugh? It really is the best kind of medicine and something we all rely on to get through the ups and downs of life. 

Rob Brydon has built a hugely successful career on making people laugh. From his iconic role as Uncle Bryn in Gavin & Stacey to his hilarious travels with Steve Coogan in The Trip, he’s truly mastered the art of entertaining. 

In this Great Moment, Rob shares why entertaining has always meant more to him than just getting a laugh. He also talks about creating characters like his “small man in a box” and what first sparked his love of performing. 

Sometimes making someone laugh isn’t just about the joke, it’s about giving them a moment they didn’t know they needed.

Paris Fury is an absolute powerhouse of a woman. When At Home With The Furys first hit our screens, 2.6 million people tuned in to watch the first episode. We got a glimpse into life with former Heavyweight Champion, Tyson, and the rest of the Fury family. But for me, it was Paris who really stood out. 

As Tyson’s wife of nearly 20 years, Paris has been with him through it all. From his boxing wins and losses to his mental health struggles and addiction - and all of that whilst raising their seven children together. 

Paris has always been Tyson’s biggest supporter and the glue that holds the Fury family together. 

In this episode, Paris shares: 

• Why her relationship with Tyson works
• Why the misinformation about Travellers frustrates her 
• How Tyson’s mental health struggles have affected her and why she’ll always be his biggest supporter
• Teaching her seven children to believe they can achieve anything
• Her daughter Venezuela getting engaged at 16 
• A very special rendition of her go-to karaoke song 

I loved every second of my conversation with Paris. She reminded me that you can do anything and be anyone you want to be. You’ve just got to go for it. 

Paris Fury is Great Company.

All eyes are on Alix Earle right now as her very public feud with Alex Cooper plays out online.

As one of the biggest influencers in the world, Alix is no stranger to the pressure that can come with living in the spotlight. But through it all, she’s stayed grounded and built her brand by being herself.

I was so excited to sit down with Alix in LA last year and record an episode of Great Company. She’d been on my dream guest list for years and the conversation didn’t disappoint. 

In this Great Moment, she shares how she’s stayed true to herself and explains why learning to say no has been one of the most powerful tools to protect herself and her career.

Making connections and building relationships in the age of social media is hard. Many of us are having to relearn what it means to really click with another person, beyond the swipe culture of dating apps and the pressure to live up to the ‘perfect’ relationships we see online.

Alain De Botton is a modern-day philosopher who founded the School of Life to help people understand the aspects of life we don’t get taught at school. 

In this Great Moment, he explains how love doesn’t just need closeness, it also needs distance, and how that space can help us better understand our partners.

Naomi Ackie is an award-winning actor known for her roles in The End of The F***ing World, Blink Twice and playing Whitney Houston in the 2023 biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

I love speaking to hugely talented actors like Naomi. I’m always so curious to know what they’re like away from the characters they play.

Naomi is a perfectionist who has been incredibly hard on herself throughout her career. In our conversation, she shares how her biggest role nearly broke her, what she’s learnt from it and why she won’t let it happen again.

- The advice her Mum gave her when she first said she wanted to be an actor

- The anxiety & panic attacks that came with playing Whitney Houston

- How losing her Mum at 22 years old changed her

The rise of the manosphere says a lot about where things are at - a lot of men feel unheard and unseen in today’s world.

Professor Green, aka Stephen Manderson, is a musician, storyteller, and one of my all-time favourite guests on Great Company. 

In this Great Moment, he talks openly about what many working-class men are dealing with. Feeling cut off, struggling to express themselves and often being pushed towards anger instead of understanding.

Stephen shares the experiences that have shaped his life and what he’s learnt from them. Because sometimes, the lessons that help us grow come from showing up and speaking honestly.
