Tis Your One from Hollyoaks- Ali Bastian!!!

Season 6, Ep. 8
•

Sorry for the delay between episodes but I am so excited to bring you this chat with Ali!


As many of you might know, she recently discovered she had breast cancer and has gone through treatment, with her husband, family, neighbours and loved ones providing endless love and support.


In this chat, we discuss her cancer journey, how she found out she had it just weeks after moving to Ireland, and how the people she least expected turned up for her.


We also talk TV, being a star in the era of the lads mags and the naughties, that teacher-student affair storyline and why we are both aiming for the small wins from now on.


Ali is the loveliest guest you could hope for, so open, honest and goddamn hilarious!


I hope you enjoy. If you are worried about yourself and anything we discussed, please seek medical help. The Irish Cancer Society have loads of info on cancer.ie, in the UK, try breastcanceruk.org or the helpline closest to you.


And as always, please share with friends and family, leave me a comment on Spotify, rate and review and be kind.


Thanks X

  • 1. Tis Your Man from The Script- Glen Power!!!

    01:13:58||Season 6, Ep. 1
    I am BACK! That is right, season 6 is here!I have missed recording weekly for you all so I brought an amazing guest along! The wonderful Glen Power from The Script is here to talk about how he got into music and the band, the highs and lows of being on the road, shunning fame and of course, losing Mark Sheehan last year. Glen often stayed in the background in the band so it was wonderful to hear his thoughts, his gratitude, his fears and his feelings on so many topics. This is one that #TheScriptFamily will love but even those who are not huge fans.Please do share, rate, review, and comment and make sure to follow The Tis Yourself podcast wherever you get your podcasts and on social media.
