JANETTE MANRARA: Losing Out on the Strictly Job Has Changed How I See Rejection

Janette Manrara has been a fan favourite on Strictly Come Dancing for 14 years, first as one of its professional dancers and then as the co-host of its spin-off show, It Takes Two. I first met Janette during my time on Strictly and from the moment we met, her love of dance was completely infectious. Earlier this year, Janette announced she would no longer be part of It Takes Two. In our conversation, she opens up about what it was like to say goodbye to the show that's shaped much of her career, and why she's more excited than ever about what comes next. Janette shares: What it felt like to miss out on the Strictly hosting jobWhat working on Strictly Come Dancing was likeDiscovering who she was outside of dancing before becoming a mumWhy her biggest goal in life is to go to Cuba Janette brings pure joy to every room she walks into. She is a reminder that when one dream comes to an end, it doesn’t mean the story is over. Janette Manrara is Great Company. Janette stars in Affluenza, now playing at Riverside Studios.

Warwick Davis on his first role as an Ewok in Star Wars

The actor Warwick Davis was cast away by Kirsty Young in 2016. When his grandmother heard an advertisement on the radio looking for short people to play Ewoks in the next Star Wars film, she immediately thought of Warwick, but by the time his mother phoned the film studio, all the roles had been cast. Her powers of persuasion must have been quite something because, aged 11, Warwick found himself on set, dressed in a furry costume, and in the company of his on-screen heroes. You can listen to the full episode on BBC Sounds.

Family Flowers Only with Zoe Welsh

This week I sit down with Zoe Welsh who shares the heartbreaking story of losing her dad to suicide. Zoe was just 16 when a situation involving inappropriate messages and comments from an older man known to the family changed the course of all of their lives. When her dad became aware of what was happening, his instinct was to protect his daughter but the events that followed ultimately resulted in him receiving a prison sentence, something completely at odds with the person Zoe knew her dad to be. Zoe speaks about the huge impact it had on her family, the shame her dad carried following his time in prison, and the devastating events that unfolded shortly after his release. This is a deeply emotional conversation about a father and daughter, the instinct to protect someone you love, shame, grief and the many complicated layers that can exist when someone dies by suicide.

ROB BECKETT: I’m a Chinese Takeaway & a Pint - If You Don’t Like It, Don’t Come Again

Rob Beckett burst onto the comedy scene 15 years ago. Since then, he’s become one of the UK’s most successful and popular comedians - from his sell-out stand up tours to his hit podcast Parenting Hell, Rob & Romesh Vs and now, Celebrity Traitors. I'd been trying to get Rob on the show for years, so finally sitting down with him for a proper laugh was a real pinch-me moment. Behind the jokes is a comedian who's found his voice, stopped worrying about what other people think, and uses it to give us all a bit of light relief from the doom and gloom in the world. In this conversation, Rob shares: Being told he was stupid by a teacher and how it stayed with himHow he found his voice as a comedianThe moment on Rob vs Romesh he realised he was burnt outHow having kids holds a mirror up to your own childhoodA surprise message from his wife, Lou This conversation is a reminder that the best version of yourself is usually the one where you stop trying to be anything else.

NICK MOHAMMED: What It’s Really Like on Celebrity Traitors | GREAT MOMENTS

With a new series of Celebrity Traitors starting this week, I thought it was the perfect time to revisit my conversation with everyone's favourite Faithful, Nick Mohammed. Last year, we all watched Nick come agonisingly close to winning the show. Away from the castle, he’s best known for his awkwardly hilarious comedy character, Mr Swallow, and his Emmy-nominated turn as Nathan Shelley in Ted Lasso. In this Great Moment, Nick reveals what it was really like inside the castle, and why going on Celebrity Traitors was only possible thanks to one person, his wife, Becca.
