We were thrilled to interview Alastair Campbell on Wednesday, 8th May, at the City of London Club to raise awareness for mental health and support two incredible charities: The Charlie Watkins Foundation and The Nick Kilhams Foundation.
Over 160 attendees joined us for an inspiring conversation. We delved into Alastair's relationship with alcohol, his journey with mental health, and his coping mechanisms, including the unwavering support from his wife.
With Mental Health Awareness Week upon us, this discussion couldn't be more timely. A huge thank you to Alastair for his candid and engaging conversation.

Season 10 Episode 2: James McVey.
James was made famous through the enormous heights of The Vamps. During his time in The Vamps, as well as in his younger years, he struggled with his identity and notably with what he was eating. James discusses his mental health and experiences from the beginning as well as his tough time this year where he might never have sung again. We chatted about therapy, crying, support networks and lots more.
James has written a fantastic EP titled 'Manabi' which translates as “learning through study” and that’s an apt summary of James’ journey throughout its creation - a process of self-discovery which, in turn, led to previously uncharted angles to his songwriting.
The EP is raw and emotional, something that has been truly captured in both the music and lyrics.

I sat down with model and entrepreneur Lottie Moss to talk about her experiences with her mental health. As Lottie made it into the public eye from a young age finding fame, she began to lose control and was plied with drugs and alcohol within the fashion industry. She soon began to realise that she did not love the industry, and left it. Lottie now uses OnlyFans as a platform to take ownership and control of the content she creates, and is thriving, seemingly happier than ever.

Season 9 Episode 3: Busted
With all 3 members of the band, Matt Willis, James Bourne and Charlie Simpson, we enjoy some magic coffee and cake, which was the therapeutic activity of choice.
We discussed the band in detail, and what that enormous success was like on them mentally in the early 2000s. The boys are releasing exciting new music and touring later in 2023, which you will not want to miss out on!
This episode is sponsored by M&S Cafe. Magic Coffee is the drink that took the coffee capital of the world, Melbourne by storm, and now its available on the UK High Street for the first time. Magic Coffee® is available exclusively in its 330 Cafés across the UK.
Magic Coffee® is made with a double ristretto, topped with the perfect amount of velvety steamed milk. It’s a short coffee (6oz) with a bold, intense flavour, but because it’s made with a double ristretto rather than a double espresso, it doesn’t have as much bitterness as other shorter coffees like a Flat White or Cortado. It’s called a Magic as it is quite literally the magic ratio of coffee to milk!
Go try one now at your nearest M&S Cafe.

I was lucky enough to sit down with England opening batsman Ben Duckett following the incredible win by the England Test Team on Monday 5th December 2022, in what is being dubbed one of the best Test matches of all time. Ben scored a ton in the opening innings, followed by a golden duck in the second, but played a significant role in this test win. We sat down to chat about his recall to the England set up and playing test cricket, the pressure he has put on himself as well as his relationship with partying early in his career.
