She's a broadcast, presenter and a professional bundle of energy... Siân Welby is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia!

Best known as one of the hosts of the Capital Breakfast show, Siân has hosted shows on the BBC, ITV and Channel 4, as well as presenting live from prestigious events such as the BAFTAs, BRIT Awards and the BBC Music Awards.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Siân talk about viral moments, cringe clips that refuse to die and being known for something you did years ago! Siân also reflects on the chaos of live radio and how humour has become both a shield and a superpower.

Tia and Siân also open up about learning how to be yourself in an industry that loves to put people in boxes and what it’s really like stepping into bigger presenting roles while trying not to overthink every word that comes out of your mouth.

Along the way there’s plenty of silliness, shared broadcasting trauma, and a mutual appreciation for surviving live TV without melting into the floor.

We have a genuinely hilarious guest on this episode of The Final FronTia... the brilliant Jake Bhardwaj is on the show!

Jake's career started as a producer, working on iconic comedy shows including The Last Leg and Big Fat Quiz of the Year. Now, he's known for his viral comedy sketches and topical observations. His live show, Not Another Quiz Night, is a sell-out success now with a 2026 residency at the Clapham Grand. He is also the co-host on the hit podcast Joe Marler Will See You Now.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Jake talk about everything from moving house and new rituals to dealing with overthinking and the pressure to constantly be productive.

They discuss stand-up comedy not just as performance, but as a coping mechanism and what it means to be funny while still protecting your mental health. Along the way, the chat touches on masculinity, self-awareness and the way we narrate our own lives.

Plus, Tia and Jake participate in a very tense pub quiz game... play along at home!

We're joined by an undeniable winner on this episode of The Final FronTia as Ginger Johnson joins Tia on the show!

Ginger has won Drag Race UK, Celebrity MasterChef and is one of the few queens who have won three challenges in a row in any of the Drag Race franchises! They're touring their new show Show Pony across the UK through-out 2026 and 2027.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Ginger talk about the brutal reality of Snatch Game, why Drag Race is scarier than MasterChef and the real feelings that dominate a Drag Race experience.

Ginger also pulls back the curtain on what it actually feels like to walk into a competition knowing your reputation is on the line - and how deciding you’re going to win can change everything!

Along the way, there’s a chaotic quiz pitting chefs against academics, and a preview of Ginger’s upcoming tour - complete with jazz, cannon flashbacks and absolutely no promises about what kind of woman she'll be by September.

We're joined by an international drag icon on this episode of The Final FronTia! RuPaul's Drag Race UK star and Polish wonder Alexis Saint-Pete is on the show!

Only the third Polish queen to compete on Drag Race, Alexis has been a ballet dancer since the age of 4, and moved to the UK at 12 after winning a place on dance school. Talk about talent!

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Alexis talk about the rapidly growing Polish drag scene, performing in Eastern Europe, the importance of representation beyond the UK and US drag bubbles and why political drag feels so vital in places where queerness itself can be an act of resistance.

Alexis also introduces Tia to a full spread of Polish snacks - rated live on the mic in a very heavily ASMR moment - plus they talk about Drag Race Poland (manifesting!), reality TV frustrations, horror films, snack rituals, and a very questionable round of "real or fake".

She first burst onto our screens as a teen powerhouse on The X Factor, and now she’s back with new music, new clarity and a whole lot of hard-won wisdom. Janet Devlin is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia!

Irish singer-songwriter Janet Devlin has been a mainstay on the UK indie charts ever since releasing her debut album Hide & Seek in 2013. Her most recent album, 2024's Emotional Rodeo, charted at #21 on the UK Indie charts (and #5 on the UK Indie Breakers). Before her start-studded turn on The X Factor, she had performed extensively in pubs and local talent shows.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Janet dive deep into nostalgia, reality TV chaos and more. They cover everything from the X Factor winners singles and guest judges, to Chico Time and chart upsets.

Janet also talks candidly about navigating ADHD, BPD and the realities of getting properly medicated later in life. She also dives into her latest album Emotional Rodeo - opening up about albums in a playlist-driven world, and why some songs have to be left behind... even when they’re deeply personal.

The year might be coming to an end, but we're not slowing down on The Final FronTia! You might recognise her from this years edition of RuPaul's Drag Race UK... Paige Three is on the show!

As the drag daughter of Drag Race S15 winner Sasha Colby, Paige Three is technically the drag sister of Chappell Roan! Well, as she proved on Drag Race, this queen deserves to be moved from page three to front page news!

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Paige go from the heartfelt to the hilarious - from late-night gigs to navigating drag outside the reality TV pipeline, the importance of demonstrating queer joy as a form of resistance and the how to stay soft in an industry that doesn’t always make room for it.

Paige also opens up about building a career on her own terms - sequins, vulnerability and all - and they play a Drag Race-themed quiz!

It's time for the Christmas Special of The Final FronTia and we are joined by a West End theatre power couple (and, for this season, they're also elves!)... Carrie Hope Fletcher and Joel Montague!

Whilst originally gaining popularity on her YouTube channel, Carrie Hope Fletcher has a storied history in the West End. As a child, she made her West End debut as Young Éponine in Les Miserables, followed by roles in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and Mary Poppins. As an adult, she has starred in the West End productions of Les Mis (Éponine and Thénardier), The Addams Family, Heathers: The Musical, Cinderella, Calamity Jane and she is currently starring as Jovie in Elf The Musical.

Starring as Buddy The Elf in Elf The Musical is Joel Montague, who is perhaps best known as the West End's King George III in Hamilton. This Summer, he also starred in The Great Gatsby and, previously, he has been in the West End productions of Waitress, School of Rock, Funny Girl, Urinetown and Billy Elliot.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia, Carrie and Joel talk about the magic of theatre during the holidays, juggling parenthood with showbiz and Carrie's experiences performing through pregnancy.

They also dive into dream roles, creative chaos, and there's a hilarious musical-themed game that’ll test your knowledge of rhymes, flags, and everything in between!

Merry Christmas and we'll see you next week for another fresh episode of The Final FronTia.

We're serving a wonderfully chaotic episode of The Final FronTia filled with deep dives, Eurovision and the strange bubble of being famous for a week. Richie Anderson is on the show!

Richie Anderson is a much-loved British TV and radio presenter - best known for his appearances on BBC Radio 2, The One Show and, of course, the BBC's coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest. Richie also competed on Strictly Come Dancing in 2022, and is the new host of the iconic show Escape To The Country.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Richie cover everything from Eurovision's turquoise carpets to pop girl politics. They fangirl over icons (everyone from Ariana Grande to Cheryl Baker), wonder why some songs feel like Christmas music when you hear them out of season and Richie gives a peek into life inside the Eurovision circus.

Plus: an ill-fated TikTok livestream, a surprisingly emotional Gavin & Stacey–era Eurovision memory, and a countryside-themed game that proves Richie is still bad at quizzes.

We have a delightfully camp - and unexpectedly profound - episode of The Final FronTia for you... singer, West End star and all-round ray of queer sunshine Marcus Collins is on the show!

Marcus first broke through in the UK as a contestant on the eighth series of The X Factor where he became a runner-up in the finals, whilst little-known girl group Little Mix won! His cover of "Seven Nation Army" shot into the Top 10 UK Charts, as did his self-titled album.

Since then, Marcus has taken the West End by storm - performing in Kinky Boots, Hairspray and, most recently, Mrs Doubtfire.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Marcus cover everything from growing up mixed-race to toxic fandoms, Marcus' X Factor rollercoaster and Paddington Bear's uncanny blinking.

Marcus shares stories from working in theatre for over 20 years and his favourite roles, including his revolutionary turn in Mrs Doubtfire. He also spills the tea on his next project... and Tia and Marcus play a truly deranged game of Snag, Marry, Kill which leaves nobody (human or fictional) untouched!
