If you've been fascinated by the Erin Patterson trial, there's another podcast you probably want to follow: it's the BBC's Diddy on Trial. This is your quick round-up to bring you up to speed with Diddy's trial, which started on the 12 May.

Since launching this podcast in November 2024, we have had five criminal counts against Diddy, he's been denied bail three times, faced accusations of witness tampering, lost a lawyer, featured in a Kanye — or Ye — track from behind bars, gone grey, demanded a gag order, launched an Instagram campaign and accused the government of racism.

And that's just on the federal side of things. On the civil side, we've had bombshell balcony-dangling allegations, people from Michael Jackson to OJ woven into the web of the 'Diddy-verse', claims against Jay–Z issued and then withdrawn, while the Texan trial lawyer Tony Buzbee told the BBC he has over 150 cases he could raise against Diddy.

What does Sean 'Diddy' Combs say? He's denied all the allegations and consistently said he's never sexually assaulted anyone — man, or woman, adult or minor.

Erin Patterson has spent almost all week in the witness box, facing questions today about whether her relationship with the lunch guests was as positive as she claims.

In this episode Rachael Brown and Stephen Stockwell take you through the day's evidence and recap the week of Erin Patterson's testimony.
