    Sara Pascoe - how will plants, performing and parenting play out in Sara’s biological age?

    With two young boys, who fight and bite, a dog and a busy career, Sara Pascoe says at the age of 44 she finally knows what stress feels like.      She came to motherhood late and conceived via IVF.  She thinks talking openly about the process will remove any shame and tells Katherine, in detail, what happened to her and her body. They discuss how an ageist society even extends to the embryos Sara and her husband have on ice.    She’s vegan, she exercises and she’s made a stand against cosmetic procedures.  She’s hoping her refusal to succumb to surgery and Botox will, in time, be rewarded with an OBE.   Nichola applauds Sara for her plant-based diet, and they talk about how best to get protein in your diet when you don’t eat meat.   Senior Video Producer – Elena Cotton Video Producer– David May Social Media -  Demi Brockway Artwork – Ben Watkins  Video Editor - Mossie Cassidy Head of Video – Edie Jefferys Sound Designer – Paul Kearney Executive Producer – Henrietta Harrison Head of Production – Cat Moran Chief Creative Officer – Lucie Cave

    Natalie Cassidy - Is the recipe to eternal youth somewhere in her 100-strong cookbook collection?

    Natalie Cassidy joined the cast of EastEnders when she was still in primary school, at the age of 10, so she would be forgiven for feeling like she’s in her mid 50s when she is only 42.   Natalie could easily be crowned ‘most down-to-earth person in showbiz’, showing up to the recording fully kitted out in M&S and discussing how much she loves WhatsApping her own loyal listeners about their dirty underwear.   So will being the most normal celebrity in Britain mean that Natalie has swerved premature biological aging? She discusses her work and lifestyle with Katherine, including the time she broke a bone with the sheer force of her acting skills, why she’s been too busy to tie the knot, her love of cooking (and the accompanying cookbooks), and the pleasure of growing her own food.   Natalie’s book Happy Days is available with all reputable retailers, and she will be doing a one-off live episode of her podcast Life With Nat at the Clapham Grand on the 7th of December 2025.   Senior Video Producer – Elena Cotton Video Producer– David May Social Media -  Demi Brockway Artwork – Ben Watkins  Video Editor - Mossie Cassidy Head of Video – Edie Jefferys Sound Designer – Phil Atkins Executive Producer – Henrietta Harrison Producer - Elly Lazarides Head of Production – Cat Moran Chief Creative Officer – Lucie Cave

Dr Nichola Conlon stresses the importance of recovery time and takes a deeper look at his diet and drinking habits.   Bobby and Katherine recorded this before the arrival of their new little girl.   Senior Video Producer – Elena Cotton Video Producer– David May Social Media -  Demi Brockway Artwork – Ben Watkins  Video Editor - Mossie Cassidy Head of Video – Edie Jefferys Sound Designer - Stewart Grieve Executive Producer – Henrietta Harrison Head of Production – Cat Moran Chief Creative Officer – Lucie Cave
