Number 1: Alan Carr: I Use Humour As A Shield
Alan Carr has been a great friend of mine for years so I was delighted when he said he'd be my first ever guest on Mad, Sad and Bad! Anyone who's ever seen or met Alan will know he has a magnetic presence and is a true entertainer. He's one of the funniest people I know, but I was excited to speak to him and go beyond the funny man and delve into a more serious side of Alan... We speak about the grief of losing a pet and exchange some (quite mad) stories of dating on the other side of divorce. He also shares the worst thing he's ever done, and I don't mind telling you, my jaw dropped... And as much as we get a little serious at times, this was still a very funny conversation! — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Jemima Rathbone Assistant Producer: Magda Cassidy Edit Producer: Pippa Brown Editor: Shane O'Byrne Video: Jake Ji & Grisha Nikolsky Video Editor: Joel Sommazzi Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Marketing: Eleanore Bamber Exec Producer: Jemima Rathbone Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Senior Exec Producer: Holly Newson Hosted on Acast.

Number 2: Dame Kristin Scott Thomas: The Menopause Is Amazing Once You’re Through It
Acting royalty Kristin Scott Thomas joins me for the final episode of Season 3!! She’s had some absolutely iconic roles on screen, like in Fiona in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Katharine Clifton in The English Patient and THAT legendary Fleabag monologue. There aren’t many people that I’d re-create my living room in a studio for (while heavily pregnant), but I would do basically ANYTHING for Kristin! 💅 We spoke about the guilt of motherhood, being labelled as a ‘cold’ person in the press and feeling like a failure when a marriage breaks down. My amazing friend (and super-talented hairstylist) Louis also joined us to talk about empowerment and the power of positivity. You can find him at @louisbyrneiciaiw. Kristin is an absolute icon; so cool, so glamorous and SO talented - I’m really grateful to her for joining me. And thank YOU for joining me throughout this series! I’ve spoken to so many AMAZING guests, so make sure you go back and check out any episodes you might have missed! — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Emilia Gill Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Harry Sawkins Sound: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Number 3: Jeff Goldblum: Sadness Makes Us More Beautiful
Jeff Goldblum is my idol!! I’ve spent my whole life watching him on screen so, despite being HEAVILY pregnant, there was no way I was missing out on the opportunity to have him on the podcast. As well as being a mega-successful actor (and Hollywood legend), he’s also an insanely talented jazz musician.There’s a reason he’s so many people’s dream dinner guest… The first rule of Jeff Goldblum-ism is to be yourself and he is perfectly unfiltered. We spoke about everything from working with Wes Anderson to dealing with loss… and how his therapist ended up officiating his wedding! He also revealed what he is BAD at (surely Jeff Goldblum isn’t bad at anything?!) and even serenaded us with some of his beautiful jazz tones. Jeff’s love for life is absolutely infectious and he was such a dream to have on the podcast. His new album, with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, ‘Night Blooms’ is out on 5th June 2026. You can pre-order the album and find tickets for his 2026 world tour HERE. — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Emilia Gill Edit Producer: Kat Milsom Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Harry Sawkins Sound: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Number 4: Olly Alexander: I Was Destroying My Body
This week’s guest is the incredible singer, actor, activist and all round icon Olly Alexander. He’s genuinely one of the most talented people I’ve EVER met…from the huge success of his band Years & Years, to his unforgettable performance in ‘It’s A Sin’, to representing the UK at Eurovision, I’m in complete awe of him! We spoke about the madness of sudden fame, his ‘reformed party girl’ status, and the grief of losing his incredible Gran. We also get into the importance of standing up for your trans friends, especially at a time when anti-trans rhetoric feels louder than ever. It was such an honest, funny and moving chat and he’s welcome back any time (even though I’m still fuming that he has a Madame Tussauds waxwork and I don’t). You can see Olly alongside loads of amazing artists at Trans Mission on 11th March at Wembley Arena! Get tickets here. Thanks again to my new roommate Jonny Woo (@jonnywoouk) for joining us to share his LGBTQ+ partying history lesson. You can find more about his bar, The Divine, here. Please note, this episode contains discussions of drug use. — Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube — Credits: Producer: Emilia Gill Edit Producer: Rema Mukena Assistant Producer: Alex Reed Video: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Lizzie McCarthy Sound: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Original music: BUTCH PIXY Social Media: Laura Coughlan Exec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Exec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Number 5: Paloma Faith On Spending £200m Jackpot, Her Marilyn Monroe Obsession and Meeting Prince!!
This week we’re taking a break from normal programming to collaborate with Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams, as Paloma joins Sarel to fantasise about how she would spend a £200,000,000 Euromillions jackpot!! From a glass cube house perched on her rooftop, surrounded by rainbow mist and accessed by a spiral staircase (with a slide exit, obviously), to buying up her entire street so friends, family… and her hairdresser can all move in next door. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s getting a time machine too , for evenings spent with Marilyn Monroe, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday.
