Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

Join us on a gorgeous spring day in Holland Park with the legendary broadcaster and Loose Women panellist Kaye Adams!Kaye’s dog Bea is at home in Glasgow - but we find out how much everyone in the Adams household absolutely adores her… sometimes to a somewhat inappropriate extent. We find out all about Kaye’s upbringing in Scotland - as a show-off child with parents who ran a haulage business. We discuss how Kaye’s mother inspired her to seek a ‘better’ life and how she feels like the landscape has changed for women since her adolescence. Kaye also tells us about the start of her extraordinary broadcasting career - which saw her interview then Prime Minister Margaret Thatcher at Number 10 when she was just 24 years old - and what it was like to be one of the first reporters on the scene at Lockerbie. Follow @kayeadamsofficial on Instagram Kaye is the host of the podcast ‘How To Be 60’ - a podcast that encourages its listeners to live their best lives at 60 and beyond. She believes turning 60 isn’t about slowing down, it’s about shaking things up!
