There are moments in life that split everything into before and after. Losing someone you love is often one of them.

This Great Moment is for anyone who’s experienced loss or, watched someone they love change after it.

Spencer Matthews is one of my oldest friends, and in this conversation he opens up about losing his brother, Mike, when he was just 10 years old. He reflects on how that experience changed him, what grief has taught him and the clarity it can bring to everything else in life.

This is part 2 of my conversation with the incredible Jesy Nelson.

Growing up in Romford, Jesy always dreamed of being on stage. But years of bullying slowly knocked her confidence until she stopped believing in herself, right up until The X Factor.

Auditioning for The X Factor changed Jesy’s life. Her dreams came true overnight but fame wasn’t what she thought it would be.

In part 2 of our conversation, Jesy opens up about what fame was really like and the relentless trolling that followed her. She shares the real reason she left Little Mix and why walking away was her only option.

We cover:

• Being bullied as a child and how it led to alopecia
• Dancing with Diversity as a teenager
• Auditioning for The X Factor and Gary Barlow’s harsh comments
• The rollercoaster highs and lows of Little Mix
• Why leaving Little Mix was the best thing she ever did
• How motherhood has given her a new confidence

This is one of those rare, real conversations. Jesy opens up about the journey that’s made her who she is today and I’m so grateful she trusted me with her story.

Jesy Nelson rose to global fame with Little Mix, experiencing the highest highs and lowest lows in the public eye. But nothing could have prepared her for motherhood.

Jesy’s world changed when her twin daughters, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe, were diagnosed with Spinal Muscular Atrophy Type 1, a rare and severe condition. Like many of us, my heart broke when I watched her video sharing the news.

For the first time on a podcast, Jesy opens up about her pregnancy, the endless hospital visits, the constant fear and the moment everything changed.

This conversation is raw, honest and incredibly powerful. Jesy, thank you for trusting us with your story. We’re sending you and your beautiful girls so much love.

Part 2 is out Friday 6th February. Jesy Nelson is Great Company.

Do you ever struggle with confidence? Or feel unsure of who you are or, who you’re meant to be? This Great Moment is for anyone who’s ever felt like they don’t quite fit in.

Yungblud, aka Dom Harrison, was our very first guest on Great Company, and after his HUGE Grammys win, it felt only right to revisit this conversation. Dom opens up about the difference between himself and the person he becomes on stage. He explains why creating Yungblud wasn’t a choice, but something he needed - a way to feel confident, accepted and like he truly belongs.

Sam Thompson and I grew up together on Made in Chelsea. What started as a friendship on the show became something much deeper - he became like a brother to me. We spoke every day and he was there for me through some of the hardest moments in my life.

Then everything changed. We had our biggest fallout and it all played out on TV.

Since then, we’ve rebuilt our friendship. I’ve watched Sam turn one of the toughest years of his life into one of his best. This conversation looks back at what broke us and what brought us back together.

We cover:

- Growing up on Made In Chelsea

- Our biggest fallout and the phone call that brought us back together

- Sam’s first heartbreak and what it’s taught him

- Wanting to be a dad and Sam’s fear that time is running out

- Why 2025 ended up being Sam’s best year yet

This conversation is about how our hardest years can end up teaching us the most - and how it’s never too late to say sorry.

Sam Thompson is Great Company.

Vanessa Williams is an absolute powerhouse. She’s a Grammy-nominated recording artist, an award-winning actor and a global cultural icon, known for roles in Ugly Betty, Desperate Housewives and currently starring as Miranda Priestly in The Devil Wears Prada on the West End.

At just 20 years old, Vanessa became the first Black woman to win the Miss America crown. It was a historic moment that changed her life overnight. But making history came at a cost: she faced de*th threats, FBI protection and a level of public scrutiny few could imagine.

In this episode, we cover:

• How Vanessa broke barriers as the first Black woman to win Miss America
• Navigating de*th threats and hate after her win
• Singing live at the Super Bowl and the Oscars
• Aging on camera and her thoughts on cosmetic surgery
• What Vanessa's mum told Elton John when they met

This is a conversation about strength, resilience and refusing to be defined by other people.

Vanessa Williams is Great Company.

Grief is something we’ll all experience at some point in our lives and that can feel quite daunting. But my conversation on Great Company with the incredible singer-songwriter Cat Burns completely changed the way I think about it.

In this Great Moment, Cat opens up about losing her dad and the impact that grief had on her. She reflects on how it reshaped the way she connects others, and why people who experience loss are often some of the most loving people you’ll ever meet.
