Is there life after death? And can our loved ones really communicate with us once they’ve gone?

It’s a fascinating and often controversial question. In this powerful episode of Yorkshire Talks, Matt and Christine step into a world that challenges belief, scepticism and everything in between as they meet a remarkable woman from Yorkshire whose story will stay with you long after the conversation ends.

🔮 Meet Julie Cryer Known as a medium to the stars, Julie first realised she could see and communicate with the dead when she was just a child. What began as a deeply hidden family secret eventually became a life-defining gift — one that led her to become a well-known television medium, working with A-list celebrities as well as people simply seeking comfort, clarity and connection.

In this honest and thought-provoking conversation, Julie opens up about:

• How she communicates with the dead
  

• What the process is really like
  

• How her gift helps people through grief, loss and uncertainty
  

💔 Perhaps most striking of all… Julie reveals why this is a gift she often wished she never had — and the emotional toll that comes with living between two worlds.

Whether you’re a believer, a sceptic, or simply curious, this compelling episode is guaranteed to leave you fascinated — and thinking long after the final moment.

The whole country fell in love with her during this year’s I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! — and just before she headed into the jungle, Matt and Christine sat down with national treasure (and proud Yorkshire lass!) Lisa Riley, who is celebrating 30 unforgettable years as Mandy Dingle in Emmerdale.

In the brand new series of Yorkshire Talks, Lisa is her wonderfully honest, no-holds-barred self. She reflects on three decades as part of one of Britain’s most iconic TV families, her breakout roles in much-loved shows like Fat Friends, and how she became one of the most recognisable faces on British television.

Lisa opens up about defying expectations on Strictly Come Dancing, where she became a fan favourite and finished as runner-up. She also shares stories from her time hosting the primetime classic You’ve Been Framed, stepping confidently into the spotlight as a presenter.

In a deeply emotional part of the conversation, Lisa talks about losing her beloved mum Cath, her best friend and constant cheerleader. She reveals the beautiful song that continues to hold a special place in her heart. Lisa also discusses facing online trolling about her weight, and how she eventually found the mindset and lifestyle that made her feel happy, healthy, and confident on her own terms.

This episode is uplifting, emotional, and full of laughter. Lisa Riley is completely, wonderfully herself, and we’re so proud to kick off Series Two of Yorkshire Talks with such an incredible guest.

You simply can't ignore the brilliant and vibrant Siobhan Murphy (aka Interior Curve) - she's vivacious, fun and colourful in every way from her fabulous interior and fashion designs, to her own personal style.

Here this true Yorkshire lass tells Matt and Christine about her journey from fashion student with a dream to having her own range of fabrics, wallpapers, homewear and as she announces here,  even a new swimwear  line after she became a finalist on the Interior Design Masters programme with Alan Carr four years ago.

At the time Siobhan had a corporate job with the NHS and had to sneak holidays and unpaid leave to film, but it was a decision that changed her life.

How did she do it?  What she thinks of the fashion for "greige" and what really goes on when she is commissioned to design a room or house on TV?
