Shownotes
Jack Osbourne was one of the world’s first reality stars. As the son of rock legends, Ozzy and Sharon Osbourne, he grew up in the spotlight. Then, when his family let MTV into their home for The Osbournes, eight million people got a front row seat to his teenage years.
But growing up in the spotlight wasn’t always easy. In this conversation, Jack reflects on being dragged into bars at 16, struggling with addiction and the moment he began turning his life around.
Now a dad of five, Jack reflects on how far he’s come, the recent heartbreak of losing his dad, Ozzy and he shares why he wants to keep Ozzy’s legacy alive with AI.
In this conversation Jack shares:
- What life was really like at the height of The Osbournes
- The best thing about his dad, Ozzy
- How fame and alcohol helped him rebel as a teenager
- Why living with MS doesn’t scare him
- How he hopes to keep Ozzy’s legacy alive with AI
Jack is a reminder that who you were when you were younger doesn’t have to define who you become.
Jack Osbourne is Great Company.

Rob Rinder first came into our lives as Judge Rinder, Britain’s answer to Judge Judy, and we quickly fell in love with his quick wit and intelligence.
Since then, the criminal barrister turned broadcaster has won a BAFTA with Rylan Clark for Rob and Rylan’s Grand Tour, been awarded an MBE for his work in Holocaust education, and written Sunday Times bestselling novels.
But long before he walked into the courtroom, Rob dreamed of becoming an actor.
In this Great Moment, Rob opens up about how he created a different version of himself to fit in, why he walked away from what he thought was his life’s calling, and what came next.

Shownotes
Tinie Tempah made his name as a pioneer of the grime scene. Over the past 15 years, he’s built an incredible career, racking up more than five billion streams and giving us iconic hits like Pass Out, Miami 2 Ibiza and Girls Like.
I was so excited to sit down with him on Great Company. And one thing that really stuck with me was just how much he has always believed that he'd be successful.
But for Tinie, that's not just been wishful thinking. He’s always had a clear vision for his life and been intentional about making it happen. Winning at life has always been the goal and that means embracing failures, learning lessons and being open to new opportunities.
In this conversation Tinie shares:
• How he manifested his music career
• What his mum taught him about hard work and success
• His fear of being a one hit wonder
• Why he stepped back from music for nine years - and what’s brought him back
This conversation is a reminder that believing in yourself is the first step to achieving anything.
Tinie Tempah is Great Company.
Tinie’s new album, The Night’s Not Dead, is out NOW!

Shownotes
Bea Elton, known online as Clean With Bea, deep cleans homes for free, helping people who are often struggling with their mental health or going through an incredibly difficult time.
The jobs can be extreme, with some homes containing mice, maggots, years of built up rubbish and conditions that could be classed as biohazards.
Bea transforms these spaces into clean, liveable homes and shares the journey with her six million followers online.
But Bea’s work is about much more than cleaning. She is passionate about showing that people who are struggling need kindness and support, not judgement.
In this conversation, Bea shares:
- Why she started making cleaning content
- The stories of the people she helps
- How her work has grown into campaigning and driving social change
- What motivates her to keep going and caring for people
Bea is a really special person. She’s a reminder that we can all do more to help others - and that sometimes, simply choosing to care can make a real difference.
Bea Elton is Great Company.

Paloma Faith was one of the first guests to join me on Great Company. She’s one of Britain’s most distinctive music artists, known for her iconic style, incredible music and never being afraid to push boundaries.
With a new series of her hit podcast, Mad, Sad and Bad, starting this week, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit our conversation. In this Great Moment, Paloma is incredibly open, discussing how she has navigated huge heartbreak and the pressures of motherhood.

Janette Manrara has been a fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing for 14 years, first as one of its professional dancers and then as the co-host of its spin-off show, It Takes Two.
I first met Janette during my time on Strictly and from the moment we met, her love of dance was completely infectious.
Earlier this year, Janette announced she would no longer be part of It Takes Two. In our conversation, she opens up about what it was like to say goodbye to the show that's shaped much of her career, and why she's more excited than ever about what comes next.
Janette shares:
- What it felt like to miss out on the Strictly hosting job
- What working on Strictly Come Dancing was like
- Discovering who she was outside of dancing before becoming a mum
- Why her biggest goal in life is to go to Cuba
Janette brings pure joy to every room she walks into. She is a reminder that when one dream comes to an end, it doesn’t mean the story is over.
Janette Manrara is Great Company.
Janette stars in Affluenza, now playing at Riverside Studios. Find out more HERE

Shownotes
With a new series of Celebrity Traitors starting this week, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit my conversation with everyone's favourite Faithful, Nick Mohammed.
Last year, we all watched Nick come agonisingly close to winning the show. Away from the castle, he’s best known for his awkwardly hilarious comedy character, Mr Swallow, and his Emmy-nominated turn as Nathan Shelley in Ted Lasso.
In this Great Moment, Nick reveals what it was really like inside the castle, and why going on Celebrity Traitors was only possible thanks to one person, his wife, Becca.

Rob Beckett burst onto the comedy scene 15 years ago. Since then, he’s become one of the UK’s most successful and popular comedians - from his sell-out stand up tours to his hit podcast Parenting Hell, Rob & Romesh Vs and now, Celebrity Traitors.
I'd been trying to get Rob on the show for years, so finally sitting down with him for a proper laugh was a real pinch-me moment.
Behind the jokes is a comedian who's found his voice, stopped worrying about what other people think, and uses it to give us all a bit of light relief from the doom and gloom in the world.
In this conversation, Rob shares:
- Being told he was stupid by a teacher and how it stayed with him
- How he found his voice as a comedian
- The moment on Rob vs Romesh he realised he was burnt out
- How having kids holds a mirror up to your own childhood
- A surprise message from his wife, Lou
This conversation is a reminder that the best version of yourself is usually the one where you stop trying to be anything else.
Rob Beckett is Great Company.

Shownotes
George Clarke is one of the biggest British social media stars of his generation, followed by millions of people online.
He’s gone from posting funny videos in his university bedroom to making regular Sidemen appearances and reaching the Strictly Come Dancing final last year.
George’s rise happened faster than he ever expected. What surprised me most, though, was discovering that behind the funny videos is a self-confessed introvert who’s had to learn to live his life in the public eye.
In our conversation, George shares:
- Growing up as an introvert but always wanting to be a YouTuber
- His Mum’s health struggles & why she’s his hero
- His thoughts on KSI leaving the Sidemen
- Why him and his friends started Friends From Work
George was one of the nicest, funniest people I've had the pleasure of sitting down with, and I can't wait to see what he does next.
George Clarke is Great Company.

Dr Federica Amati is the Head Nutritionist at ZOE and author of The Appetite Reset, https://amzn.eu/d/0iodLEof. She first came on the show back in 2024 and she completely blew my mind.
Now she's back…And this time, she's tackling weight loss drugs.
What started as a prescription treatment for diabetes has become a global cultural phenomenon, with millions now taking GLP-1s to lose weight.
Dr Federica reveals that people can eat up to 40% less food while taking these drugs, causing significant changes to their bodies. She also explains how they can rewire our brains, as well as the short and long term effects of taking them.
In this episode, she shares:
- How weight loss drugs really affect our bodies and minds
- The connection between GLP-1s and addiction
- How ‘skinny jabs’ are changing our supermarket shelves
- Why young women may face unique long-term risks from GLP-1s
This is a fascinating conversation about medication that’s changing the way we think about our health, our bodies, and our relationship with food.
Dr Federica Amati is Great Company.

Shownotes
Michael Owen is one of England’s greatest strikers and football’s original Golden Boy. He signed for Liverpool at just 17, became England's youngest World Cup goalscorer and won the prestigious Ballon d'Or aged 21.
But injuries changed everything.
At the top of his game, and far too early into his career, Michael’s body let him down. He moved from club to club, determined to keep playing the sport he loved, before eventually retiring in 2013.
In our conversation, Michael opens up about the highs, the low and how his family has kept him grounded throughout it all. He shares:
- What it was like being England’s Golden Boy
- How it felt when his body betrayed him aged 21
- How his son, James, is clinically blind and hasn't let it hold him back
- What he really thinks about his ‘boring’ image
Michael’s story is fascinating…and anything but boring.
Michael Owen is Great Company.

Shownotes
Frank Warren is one of the biggest names in British boxing, having promoted some of the greatest fighters the sport has ever seen.
I'm a huge boxing fan, so sitting down with Frank was a dream come true. And his life is like a Guy Ritchie movie…
Frank grew up on a council estate in North London, left school at 14 and fell into boxing promotion almost by accident. He went on to build an incredible career, only to be shot and nearly killed at the height of his success.
From surviving that to promoting some of the biggest nights in boxing, Frank has seen it all.
In this conversation, Frank shares:
- The moment he was shot and nearly killed in 1989
- Why signing Ricky Hatton was one of his proudest achievements
- His thoughts on how ‘influencer-boxing’ is changing the sport
- What happened when he got punched by Mike Tyson
Frank is a reminder that resilience isn't about avoiding setbacks - it's about what you build after them.
Frank Warren is Great Company.

Usually, Great Moments is all about the advice and takeaways from our amazing guests. But this week it's a little different…
I wanted to share part of my conversation with a good friend of mine, Jack Whitehall. Jack didn’t come on Great Company because he wanted to… in fact, he only agreed to do it because he owed me a BIG favour.
In this Great Moment, Jack reveals exactly what that favour was and what it’s really like to work with his father, the unintentionally hilarious, Michael Whitehall.

How much do you know about menopause? Because, I’ll be honest, before speaking to Professor Sarah Berry, I didn’t really know much…
Menopause affects over half the population, yet 90% of women in the UK weren’t taught about it at school. So many women enter this stage of life without really knowing what’s happening to their bodies… or what to expect.
In this Great Moment, Professor Sarah Berry, Chief Scientist at ZOE and a leading voice on menopause research, breaks down everything we need to know.
From what it is and the symptoms we hear about all the time, to the symptoms we rarely hear about, Professor Berry explains how it can affect day to day life.

Michelle Kennedy is the founder and CEO of Peanut, one of the fastest growing social apps for women.
I started Great Company because I wanted to connect with people again. Despite being more connected than ever online, many of us have never felt lonelier.
That's how Michelle felt after becoming a mum to her son, Finn. Instead of accepting that loneliness, she decided to build the community she wished she'd had. That's how Peanut was born.
Since launching in 2017, Peanut has grown to over 5 million registered users, offering women a safe space to ask questions, find support and build connections through every stage of life.
In this conversation, Michelle shares:
- Her journey from law to dating app companies
- Why she left Bumble to start her app, Peanut
- What she thinks makes a great leader and entrepreneur
- How Peanut grew from an idea into a community of over 5 million women
- The one piece of advice she'd give every founder
Michelle is proof that some of the best businesses start by solving problems you've lived yourself.

Simon Pegg is a legend of the entertainment industry, with a career spanning more than 30 years.
Growing up in Gloucester with a cinema just down the road, Simon’s deep love of films was fostered early on. From Shaun of the Dead, Hot Fuzz and The World’s End to Star Trek and the Mission: Impossible franchise, he’s built one of the most beloved bodies of work.
I grew up watching Simon’s films, so getting the chance to meet him was surreal. We talked about everything from working with Tom Cruise and J.J. Abrams to our shared love of horror movies and what it means to be a good dad.
In this conversation, Simon shares:
- Why he’ll never make a sequel to the Cornetto Trilogy
- Being the child of divorce and what that’s taught him as a parent
- His favourite thing about his best friend, Nick Frost
- The moment he got the call for Mission: Impossible
Simon is a reminder that turning a childhood passion into a lifelong career isn't about luck, it's about never letting go of the thing you love.
Simon Pegg is Great Company.
