We are back with brand new episodes of The Final FronTia! New guests, a new set (sort of) and brand new segments! And for our new episode we're joined by an icon of stage and screen...

From The Big Breakfast to Broadway, Denise Van Outen has done it all — she's starred as Roxie Hart in Chicago in New York and London, come as runner up on Strictly Come Dancing, judged reality shows and acted in some of the UK's top TV shows.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Denise take a gloriously nostalgic deep dive into her career. Denise shares the chaotic story of being discovered on a London bus, the wild energy of live ‘90s TV and the full-circle joy of creating an album inspired by the soundtrack of her own life.

They talk about growing up on British telly, living with Andrew Lloyd Webber (for professional reasons, obviously), DJing in Ibiza and why she still refuses to "grow up".

Denise Van Outen's new album "A Bit Of Me" is released on October 10th.

We're joined by a global drag superstar, a singer, a writer and a reality TV legend – the one and only Courtney Act is our guest on this episode of The Final FronTia!

From making the Australian Idol semi-finals to snatching the win on Celebrity Big Brother UK and reaching the finale of RuPaul’s Drag Race, Courtney has truly done it all – while using her platform to champion LGBTQ+ rights, gender conversations and authenticity.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Courtney talk about drag as both art and activism, the lessons learned from reality TV and what it means to grow up queer in the spotlight.

They also dive into the joy of pop culture nostalgia, their shared love of sci-fi and fantasy worlds and why vulnerability might be drag’s most radical act.

Plus - Courtney reveals the TV role she’d most love to play, and Tia pitches an all-drag version of Neighbours (you’ll want to hear this one).

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Zack talk about what it really means to lead a political party, the challenges of climate change and how to stay hopeful in the face of political chaos.

They also bond over their love of reality TV, swap takes on Drag Race queens and even debate what lessons politicians could learn from lip sync battles.

She’s back, back, back again! The iconic Kate Butch makes her record-breaking third appearance on The Final FronTia and this time it no quiz (throwback to last week) - it's Tia and Kate one-on-one with all the chaos and comedy you'd expect.

Fresh off her solo tour (and heading to Soho Theatre with her show Wuthering Shites ), Kate joins Tia for an episode packed with laughs, deep dives and a whole lot of sci‑fi.

On this episode of The Final FronTia, Tia and Kate imagine their dream roles on Doctor Who, thirst over mysterious villains and pitch spin‑offs that nobody asked for but everyone secretly wants.

They also go down the rabbit hole of Tracy Beaker recasted with Drag Queens, and they debate whether Mona the Vampire was a delusional icon.

She’s a Drag Race UK star, a comedy queen, a The Final FronTia alumni and apparently a certified Shrek scholar – Kate Butch is our guest (and quiz competitor) on this episode!

Joined by Producer Poppy, this week’s episode of The Final FronTia takes a detour from the usual chat show into a full-on trivia showdown: welcome to TiaMind, our fully qualified version of the iconic quiz show Mastermind.

Tia, Kate and Poppy battle it out over specialist subjects (including Doctor Who and Shrek), general knowledge, and pure nonsense. There are buzzer sounds, questionable facts, drag race tangents and even a surprise trophy with snakes for eyes.

Which queen will come out on top? Who gets their Doctor Who lore right? And how many hearts does an octopus have?
