- DON’T YOU WANT A BABY?
“Let me show you something that will make your ovaries twerk.”
This week on The Quack, I contemplate motherhood and whether it is right for me after being traumatised by my 90's singing doll. Also, I take the time to admire the hot dads of the world.

If it wasn’t tricky enough to try and lure a man away from his life of freedom, football, mates and Camden Hells, try adding a brace.
This week on The Quack is about the trauma of wearing braces as a teenager, and again as a single woman in her thirties.
