Great Company with Jamie Laing

So many of us grew up watching Fearne Cotton on children’s TV and then later listening to her on Radio 1. She’s a broadcasting icon, bestselling author and someone I’ve looked up to for such a long time.

At just 15, Fearne was thrust into the public eye when she began her TV career on Disney Club. With that came a huge pressure to be liked and she felt like she needed to change parts of her personality to fit in and keep people happy.

In this conversation, she opens up about how, despite her success, she often felt she didn’t deserve the opportunities she was given.

In this episode, Fearne shares:
How she has learned to let go of people pleasing
Her 10 year battle with anxiety which forced her to step away from live radio and TV
How she began working on TV aged just 15
Working with incredible artists like Eminem and Amy Winehouse
Why it’s important to push boundaries and care less about being likeable

This conversation is an important reminder that when you stop worrying so much about what other people think of you, you give space for the real you to shine.

Her take on all the drama in the Love Island All Stars villa
What really happened between Chloe and Lucinda after Series 7
Navigating a public break-up and how she came out the other side
Dealing with online trolls and comments about her appearance

Munya Chawawa is one of the sharpest and funniest voices on social media, known for his brilliantly observant takes on society, politics and the news cycle.

In this Great Moment, he explains why the real satisfaction in comedy comes from holding up a mirror to society - and getting people to question the world around them.

For Munya, comedy is more than entertainment. It’s a language we all share, and a powerful way to start conversations about the things that can be hardest to talk about.

Because sometimes the best way to make people think… is to make them laugh first.

Tom Davis is one of the funniest people I know. We first met ten years ago on Murder in Successville, the hilarious BBC3 sitcom he co-created with his friend James De Frond.

At the time, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. What I didn’t realise then was just how much the show meant to Tom. Murder in Successville wasn’t just another job for him. It was a pivotal moment and there was so much riding on it.

This conversation is a rollercoaster. I haven’t laughed that much in a long time - but it also reveals a side to Tom that goes far beyond the laughs.

In this episode, Tom shares:
Why he took a risk on me for the very first episode of Murder in Successville
How he desperately wanted to be a dad and feared it might not happen
Why he decided to go sober and what it’s taught him
What Timothée Chalamet text him after the Critics Choice Awards
What happened when Tom was mistaken for Ed Sheeran’s bodyguard

This conversation is a reminder that it’s not always a simple road to success - true success is a journey.

Tom Davis is Great Company.
