June 22, 2026 Fatima Whitbread: After 3 Miscarriages and No Period, IVF Made Me a Mum
The powerhouse that is Fatima Whitbread MBE joins us on the sofa this week! From being abandoned as a baby and surviving the care system, to conquering the world as an Olympic javelin thrower, Fatima’s journey is nothing short of extraordinary.
She opens up about how her javelin teacher (and later adoptive mum) Margaret changed her life, her grueling 3-round IVF journey to motherhood, what it’s really like competing on 'I'm A Celeb' (yes, she brought the infamous nose-cockroach) and why tough love and boundaries are the ultimate parenting superpowers.
Plus, we’re talking about the new social media ban for under-16s, a very relatable (and messy!) potty training fail, and why prioritizing your own fitness as a mum is essential for your mental health.

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!

June 01, 2026 Andrea McLean On Making The Same Marriage Mistakes Twice “Red Flags Are Not Bunting"
What happens when the cameras stop rolling and the real work of survival begins?
In today’s episode of No Parental Guidance, we are joined by the incredibly honest, brilliant, and unfiltered Andrea McLean. For over two decades, Andrea was a staple in our living rooms—from the GMTV sofa to anchoring Loose Women, interviewing icons like Oprah Winfrey and Beyoncé.
But behind the polished TV career, Andrea was navigating a series of brutal, silent battles off-camera.
In this deeply raw and revealing conversation, Andrea opens up about the reality of parenting through two horrific public divorces, navigating toxic relationships, and facing the isolating "school gate side-eye" when the headlines hit.
She also busts the taboos around midlife health, sharing the terrifying reality of being forced into surgical menopause after a full hysterectomy at 46, why it made intimacy incredibly painful, and how it impacts a marriage. Plus, she shares the shocking reality of her secret 2019 mental health breakdown, surviving PTSD, and the recent financial ruin that saw her selling furniture just to buy groceries.
This is a story about motherhood, mistakes, resilience, and ultimate survival. You do not want to miss this!

May 04, 2026 Hannah and Louise can’t stop laughing at THIS! | No Parental Guidance
Can you make it through these stories without laughing? Because we certainly couldn’t. In this episode of No Parental Guidance, Hannah and Louise take on the "Last One Laughing" Challenge. Inspired by the hit show, they go head-to-head to see who can keep a straight face while sharing the most "educational" (and by educational, we mean absolutely traumatizing) parenting moments.
Things take a turn very quickly as we dive into your NPG Community Fails. We’re talking about everything from accidental public broadcasts about butt plugs to the now-legendary "Bat’s Nose" observation that has changed how we look at anatomy forever.
In this episode:
The LOL Challenge: Hannah and Louise try to keep it together while discussing "poo hands" and swimming pool disasters.
The Bluetooth Betrayal: Why you should always check your car settings before listening to us at the beach.
The "Bat's Nose": A 4-year-old’s brutal honesty that sent us straight to Google Images (and we regret it).
Toast Trauma & Sheep Milk: The wedding day mishap you have to hear to believe.
Are you a "Bat Enthusiast" or just a parent hanging by a thread? Let us know your biggest fail in the comments!

April 27, 2026 Jess Wright Discusses the Reality of Postnatal Depression & Maternal Wellbeing
This week we're joined by the iconic Jess Wright. TOWIE original, mum, businesswoman, and refreshing and honest guest!
And yes… this episode goes there. From PND, antidepressants, and the black cloud that hit her the moment she walked through the front door with her newborn, to stabbing a football with a carving knife because the kids just wouldn't stop. Jess holds nothing back.
She opens up about her son Presley's heart condition diagnosis, the moment a doctor told her he would need open heart surgery, and how she held herself together long enough to host a charity ball before quietly falling apart afterwards. It's raw, it's real, and it will stay with you.
There's talk of parenting fails, sleep regressions, the Bottle Fairy who absolutely did not work, and why kids save their absolute worst behaviour for the person who loves them most.
Jess gets candid about life after TOWIE, why she still can't watch the clips back, the misconceptions about the Wright family, and why no one really knows the truth about who they are behind closed doors.
There's also Britney Spears chat, mum jeans, Morpheus 8, and the very specific chaos of trying to film a reel in your garden when your neighbour is definitely listening.
Funny, emotional, and completely unfiltered. If you've ever felt the weight of a diagnosis you didn't see coming, questioned every parenting decision you've ever made, or just needed someone to say it out loud, this one's for you.
