July 06, 2026 Nathan Henry and his mum on Geordie Shore, tackling trolls & parenting in a social media world
We have a brilliant episode for you this week, and while Louise is away having a lovely time schmoozing with the celebs in Cannes, Hannah is holding down the fort for a very special, hilarious, and deeply moving Yorkshire reunion!
In honour of Pride, we are joined by the iconic Geordie Shore star Nathan Henry and his incredible mum, Beverly, to share their beautiful family bond and offer real insight for parents navigating their own children's journeys.
Nathan and Bev get honest about his experience coming out—from his early days filtering his true self on Geordie Shore to cope with a high-pressure environment, to the emotional moment he finally came out as gay on TV.
Bev opens up about her fierce, protective motherly instinct when dealing with online trolls, and why her immediate, calm reaction to Nathan's news at home helped create the ultimate safe space for him.
This episode is a must-watch for any parent looking to support their LGBTQ+ children.
We dive deep into:
· Creating a Safe Space at Home: Practical advice from Nathan and Bev on using inclusive, open-ended language with teenagers rather than making assumptions.
· A Parent’s Role: Bev’s powerful stance on being your child's ultimate protector, no matter what they face in the outside world.
· The Reality TV Baby Boom: How the Geordie Shore cast (Sophie, Holly, Marnie) stay tightly bonded through motherhood, fertility struggles, and massive WhatsApp group support networks.
· Grandparent Privileges: Why Bev gave her own kids "tough love" but turns into a total soft touch who hands out £10 notes and treats to the grandkids.
· Nathan’s Next Chapter: His dreams of retiring from reality TV to become a stay-at-home dad, exploring adoption and surrogacy with his partner.
Plus, you won't want to miss Bev's unforgettable, chaotic 20-hour birth story involving a Virgin Mary statue and a doctor with hands the size of shovels!
Whether you are a parent looking for guidance or just love a heartwarming mother-and-son dynamic, this episode is packed with love, laughter, and invaluable takeaways.

June 15, 2026 Ronni Ancona: "Overwhelming" Motherhood, Surviving 2000s Comedy & Late ADHD Diagnosis
BAFTA-winning comedy icon and EastEnders star Ronni Ancona joins us on the sofa for an absolute rollercoaster of an episode! Fresh off a wild, tooth-losing "school mothers' night out" (and nursing a severe liver hangover), Ronni strips back the famous masks to give us the raw, chaotic truth about her life.
From the relentless exhaustion of raising children who didn't sleep for 12 years to her late-in-life ADHD diagnosis in her 40s, Ronni opens up about the crippling pressure of people-pleasing, masking, and feeling like she was "failing at everything" while navigating the peak of UK fame.
We take a nostalgic trip down memory lane to look at the casual sexism of 2000s television, what it was really like making a massive hit comedy show with her ex Alistair McGowan, and the hilarious moment Posh and Becks invited them to a party... just to have them coat-check the guests.
Plus, Ronni shares incredible, heartwarming stories from her pre-fame days as a teacher at a tough all-boys school, her current brilliant stint as Bea Pollard on Albert Square, and why she's a self-proclaimed, "over-loving" mother.
🍎 THANK A TEACHER WITH TESCO! 🍏 This episode is proudly sponsored by Tesco, who are supporting the National Thank a Teacher Day campaign! We all know how vital teachers are for providing security, guidance, and changing children's lives. Every teacher recommended will be entered into an exclusive draw to win up to £1,000 worth of fresh fruit and veg for their school!
