Let's Talk with Lee Peart Lee Peart

Lee Peart sits down for a chat with his comedy pal Rosie Wilby to discuss her new book 'The Breakup Monologues - The Unexpected Joy Of Heartbreak'. Rosie is a comedian, journalist, fellow podcaster and was dubbed 'The Queen of Breakups' by BBC Radio 4. In this interview we talk ghosting, bread crumbing and what exactly is 'icing' someone? We also discuss whether to keep in touch with an ex and the science behind breaking up and heartbreak. 

It's A Sin is one of Channel 4's most acclaimed new TV dramas, and has started a discussion about HIV/AIDS and gay men in the 80s and 90s. Husband's Dick Longdin and Adam Zane, two close friends of mine join me in a candid conversation as we discuss the impact of the show, and they talk me through just how it was like living as a gay man in those times. We also discuss Adam Zane's involvement in the phenomenon Queer as Folk and we look to the future while remembering the past.

Actor turned activist talks all things HIV/AIDS. As executive director of the charity NAM, Matthew answers questions about HIV/AIDS and talks how he is living openly and honestly as an HIV+ person.

Rob Madge went from performing in their living room for their wonderful, supportive parents, to finding to themselves cast in the west end show Mary Poppins as the young Michael Banks. From then, Rob went to star in Les Miserables, Oliver! and even Matilda. They discuss growing up, queerness, being a young west end performer and their favourite musical. 

Good Morning Britain director Erron Gordon joins me for a chat about life behind the scenes in TV. How he landed a role in a film by simply joking about it with Renée Zelweger, his move from being a runner to a highly sought after TV director, and a typical day working with Piers Morgan. 

The Voice finalist singer-songwriter Jimmy Balito joins me for a chat. We discuss his experience in The Voice, auditioning the year before and failing to get any judge to turn, before returning the next year and reaching the final with Team Olly. We also discuss the tragic loss of his father to cancer, and how he copes with grief and continued on with the competition. We discuss his upbringing, musical roots and what's next for this bright young talent.
