When it comes to Gen Z's change-makers, few have made an impact as significant as Bel Priestley. The content creator-turned-actress inspired a generation when she documented her transition on social media, in the process building a legion of over 1.5M fans online.

Most recently, Bel has starred in Netflix's hit series Heartstopper and partnered with everyone from ASOS to the cover of Attitude Magazine. She is still wearing her heart on her sleeve, and taking the world with her as her journey of discovery continues.

In this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Bel Priestly talk about challenges at school whilst transitioning, the importance of support for young LGBTQ+ people, Bel's decision to document their life online and her entry into acting.

One of the UK’s most popular comedians, Joe Lycett has consistently used his platform not just to make people laugh (although he is very funny), but to bring attention to worthy causes.

His viral stunts have included ‘shredding money’ on a live stream in criticism of Qatar’s sponsorship of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, changing his name to Hugo Boss in response to a legal dispute, and launching his own ‘fake’ podcast to bring awareness to water pollution.

In this episode of The Pieces, Bimini and Joe Lycett talk about childhood eccentricities, corporate ethics… and prison life? Plus Joe shares the inside story of his letter to Nigel Farage, his journey with his sexuality and why he’s now turned his hand to art.

Welcome to The Pieces, the brand new podcast where Bimini will be challenging the world around us and asking how the experience we’ve lived have made us the people we are today.

For our first episode, Bimini is turning the camera on themselves to explore their journey from Great Yarmouth to creating their drag persona and, ultimately, becoming the superstar they are today.

Bimini’s journey is one of true resilience. Navigating the London nightlife scene and discovering how diverse drag could be, in this reflective episode Bimini shares how moments like winning Miss Sink The Pink and competing on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK have enabled them to embrace their identity and have a clearer sense of who they are.
