This week, I’m joined by the brilliant Joanna Page – star of Gavin & Stacey, proud mum, and now the author of Lush – and let’s just say, there’s nothing off-limits. We dive straight into the wild and wonderful, from streaking down Mumbles seafront as a teen to breathing through your anus in drama school (yes, really), and get painfully honest about body image, bullying, and surviving rejection in the business. Joanna shares how it felt to be labelled \"too Welsh\" at drama school and reflects on the gritty reality of sexual bullying on set – plus, why presenting gives her more control and why perfectionism still sometimes sneaks up on her. If you want a real conversation about living life imperfectly – this is the episode. I left this chat with my heart a little bigger, and I hope you will too.
