Adele Roberts and Kate Holderness
Today on podDIVA , we are super-dooper #Proud to be dropping in on this hilarious, this gorgeous conversation between our amazing Pride month cover star Adele Roberts, her fabulous fiancé Kate Holderness and our divine editor-in-chief, the right royal Roxy Bourdillon.
Be prepared to laugh along with these three old friends, to be inspired, to be deeply moved and perhaps, like me, to shed a tear too.
Hear all about:
- dealing with cancer and writing their book
- that first date and the two decades of lesbian love that have followed
- their challenges, grief and recovery
Adele and Kate’s book is called Personal Best: From Rock Bottom to the Top of the World. And it is truly awesome. And just FYI – the "Audrey" that these three superstar women refer to is Adele’s stoma bag.
