What's the best way to announce your separation? Is it possible to stay civil if you're still living together? And how do you cope when your ex's new partner is literally wearing your trousers? Comedian Sam Pamphilon knows the answer to none of these questions, but we have a good laugh anyway! 

The actor and former chef tells us how he's handling the pandemic, and what his signature lockdown dish is. We discuss Sam's sexual preferences, donkeys versus racehorses, chicken vaginas, and Val Kilmer's elbow. It's one of the most honest and hilarious chats we've ever had, so do have a listen.

CLASSIC EPISODE! Due to popular demand we re-releasing this classic Scummy Mummies Podcast with the very funny and talented Steph Douglas. We tackle a range of topics including sex and relationships and why it is important to send WhatsApp messages to get your partner's juices flowing. This was recorded back in early 2019 when we could all still touch each other, good times. ENJOY!

Original podcast description:

How important is sex to a good relationship? Why do we sometimes need to pull up the drawbridge? And what are the best and worst bits of having a third child? Answering all these questions is Steph Douglas, Instagram sensation and founder of Don't Buy Her Flowers!

She tells us what effect becoming outnumbered has had on her marriage, and why her husband described her third pregnancy as being a bit like Brexit. We talk about the biggest shock that comes with having a new baby, and how counselling can help with the rough patches.

Then it's time for some filthy shagging chat. Helen explains how she likes it "good style", and Steph reveals the perils of erotic WhatsApp chat.
