Hannah is joined by Jerome Harvey-Agyei, Co-Founder of The Tope Project and Youth Participation Lead at The Mayor of London’s Violence Reduction Unit.

Hannah is joined by Matt for the intro and reflections, where they have an impromptu (and very unofficial) audition to be the next hosts of Strictly Come Dancing and Matt shares his very exciting news.
