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 pleasingHer 10 year battle with anxiety which forced her to step away from live radio and TVHow 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 likeableThis 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.If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us: Instagram- @greatcompanypodcastTikTok - @greatcompanypodcast Jamie - @jamielaing And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk THE CREDITS Executive Producer: Ewan Newbigging-ListerProducer: Helen BurkeAssistant Producer: Issy Weeks-HankinsVideo: Jake Ji & Josh BennettSocial Media: Anthony Barter & Amber HouriganAudio: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot

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 SuccessvilleHow he desperately wanted to be a dad and feared it might not happenWhy he decided to go sober and what it’s taught him What Timothée Chalamet text him after the Critics Choice AwardsWhat 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.Get tickets for Tom's 2026 tour, Spudgun HERE!If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us: Instagram- @greatcompanypodcastTikTok - @greatcompanypodcast Jamie - @jamielaing And if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at: greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk THE CREDITS Executive Producer: Ewan Newbigging-ListerProducer: Helen Burke & Jack ClaramuntAssistant Producer: Issy Weeks-HankinsVideo: Jake Ji & Josh BennettSocial Media: Laura CoughlanAudio: Rafi Amsili Geovannetti Great Company is an original podcast from JamPot
