7. Charlotte Church – Being a child star and weird fan encounters

Rylan: How to Be...

Rylan is joined by singer and host of ‘Kicking Back with The Cardiffians’ Charlotte Church to discuss her mixed experiences in the spotlight. Charlotte tells Rylan about growing up as a child star and singing for the Pope as a 12-year-old, press intrusion in her rebellious years, and being accused of anti-Semitism.

Rylan explores the good, the bad and the ugly of being thrust into the spotlight - with those who've lived to tell the tale.
