  • For my final episode of this series, my guest is presenter, writer and Instagram sensation, James Kavanagh.

    James is the proud owner of Diana, a hairless sphynx cat named after the late Princess Diana. I mean, of course she is! James explains how an episode of Friends inspired his choice of pet and how he ended up getting the ferry to Wales to get Diana. A true adventure.

    Actress and writer Amy, talked to me about her cute pooch Phoebe who she and her family got just before lockdown in 2020. Phoebe is an unofficial star of her Amy Instagram page so make sure you go and check it out. Maybe Phoebes and Harry need to pencil in a post pandemic doggy date? A canine can never have too many pals.

    In this episode we talked about Amy's first doggy heartbreak, how her children first reacted when Phoebe was brought home, her mum's very unusual wedding present and lots more. We hope you enjoy our chat!

  • Welcome to the first episode of the Secret Life of Celebrity Pets hosted by me, Darren Kennedy. Each week, we’ll go behind the closed doors of some famous faces and into the pampered world of celebrity pets.

    This week, my guest is the phenomenally successful writer, broadcaster and host of a little show called Love Island, Laura Whitmore.

    Laura’s bestselling book No One Can Change Your Life Except For You looks at taking back control of your life and not waiting for anyone to come and save you. That may be true but Laura’s beloved dog Mick certainly changed her life 5 years ago when he first landed into her world. Laura talked to me about what a great companion he was during lockdown and how she fits being a pet owner into an incredibly busy schedule.
