People keep telling me Grace Campbell reminds them of me, which I’m taking as a HUGE compliment! She’s a North London legend, I’m an East London legend, so it was about time we met. I had a feeling we’d have plenty to talk about…Grace has made a career out of saying the things people are too embarrassed to say out loud, so naturally we got straight into it! We talk about unusual childhoods, being a politician’s daughter without the perks, and why sometimes the best thing you can do is turn your phone off and disappear for a bit.She also opens up about her abortion, the guilt of letting go and her experience of being stalked. An honest conversation about shame, relationships and finding your voice, with plenty of laughter along the way.PLUS, we’ve booked a dog psychic! Anita reads both our dogs, and you’ll be shocked by what they have to say.The amazing Grace Campbell, some very outspoken pets and absolutely no chance of a quiet afternoon.

We’ve shared so many unforgettable conversations on Mad, Sad & Bad, and I’m looking back at some of my favourite moments from the podcast.This time, I’m revisiting a conversation with the brilliant Leigh-Anne Pinnock. Leigh-Anne opens up about her love-hate relationship with social media, dealing with trolling and navigating life in the spotlight. We also talk about balancing motherhood to twins with wanting to give your career 100%, and the pressure of trying to do it all.Watch the full episode HERE.

You might know telly LEGEND Davina McCall from Big Brother, but I grew up working out to her fitness DVDs in my student flat, lifting tins of baked beans 😂This conversation had EVERYTHING! We got into her wild clubbing days and then sobriety to losing her sister Caroline, learning to start over and finding joy through life’s toughest moments.Davina opens up about an incredibly challenging couple of years, from discovering a brain tumour and undergoing surgery to then being diagnosed with breast cancer. We talk about grief, self-compassion and the importance of checking your boobs (or breast tissue!), going to your mammograms and speaking up about your health.PLUS, my mum joins us to share her own experience of breast cancer. It’s an emotional one, but there’s plenty of laughter, love and a little bit of disco along the way.A really special episode with an important message. ❤️ Enjoy!!!!#DAVINAMCCALL #PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBADThis episode is part of Going Big for Boobs, a collaboration between Paloma Faith, JamPot Productions, Candy Kittens and breast cancer awareness charity CoppaFeel!

Welcome back to Mad, Sad and Bad!!!! To kick off the new series I have superstar Letitia Wright joining me in my living room!I’ve watched Letitia Wright since her early days on Top Boy. She’s gone on to become an iconic global star as Shuri in Black Panther, built her own production company and stepped behind the camera as a director.We talk about the parts of success people don’t always see: what it feels like to look back and be proud, the courage it takes to face your fears, and the importance of keeping some things private. Letitia also opened up to me about grief, faith and the industry she works in. And, OF COURSE, we put her popcorn knowledge to the test?!Enjoy and get ready for an AMAZING series 4! 💋Producer: Ross WhyattAssistant Producers: Lydia Brownell and Jonny BurkeSenior Videographer: Grisha NikolskyVideographer: Harry SawkinsAudio Engineer: Miles WhewaySenior Social Media Manager: Laura CoughlanProduction Manager: Archan MohilleProduction Coordinator: James CoxHead of Content: Ewan Newbigging-Lister Hosted on Acast.

Davina McCall's discussion had us in tears and fits of laughter. And the outrageous Grace Campbell finds out her dog doesn't like it when she ****s.COMING TUESDAY 6th OCTOBER 2026#PALOMAFAITH #MADSADBAD Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Acting royalty Kristin Scott Thomas joins me for the final episode of Season 3!! She’s had some absolutely iconic roles on screen, like in Fiona in Four Weddings and a Funeral, Katharine Clifton in The English Patient and THAT legendary Fleabag monologue. There aren’t many people that I’d re-create my living room in a studio for (while heavily pregnant), but I would do basically ANYTHING for Kristin! 💅We spoke about the guilt of motherhood, being labelled as a ‘cold’ person in the press and feeling like a failure when a marriage breaks down. My amazing friend (and super-talented hairstylist) Louis also joined us to talk about empowerment and the power of positivity. You can find him at @louisbyrneiciaiw. Kristin is an absolute icon; so cool, so glamorous and SO talented - I’m really grateful to her for joining me. And thank YOU for joining me throughout this series! I’ve spoken to so many AMAZING guests, so make sure you go back and check out any episodes you might have missed!—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Emilia GillAssistant Producer: Alex ReedVideo: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Harry SawkinsSound: Rafi Amsili GeovannettiOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-ListerExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

Jeff Goldblum is my idol!! I’ve spent my whole life watching him on screen so, despite being HEAVILY pregnant, there was no way I was missing out on the opportunity to have him on the podcast. As well as being a mega-successful actor (and Hollywood legend), he’s also an insanely talented jazz musician.There’s a reason he’s so many people’s dream dinner guest…The first rule of Jeff Goldblum-ism is to be yourself and he is perfectly unfiltered. We spoke about everything from working with Wes Anderson to dealing with loss… and how his therapist ended up officiating his wedding! He also revealed what he is BAD at (surely Jeff Goldblum isn’t bad at anything?!) and even serenaded us with some of his beautiful jazz tones.Jeff’s love for life is absolutely infectious and he was such a dream to have on the podcast. His new album, with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra, ‘Night Blooms’ is out on 5th June 2026. You can pre-order the album and find tickets for his 2026 world tour HERE.—Find us on: Instagram / TikTok / YouTube—Credits:Producer: Emilia GillEdit Producer: Kat MilsomAssistant Producer: Alex ReedVideo: Josh Bennett, Jake Ji and Harry SawkinsSound: Rafi Amsili GeovannettiOriginal music: BUTCH PIXYSocial Media: Laura CoughlanExec Producer for JamPot: Ewan Newbigging-ListerExec Producers for Idle Industries: Dave Granger & Will Macdonald Hosted on Acast.

This week we’re taking a break from normal programming to collaborate with Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams, as Paloma joins Sarel to fantasise about how she would spend a £200,000,000 Euromillions jackpot!!From a glass cube house perched on her rooftop, surrounded by rainbow mist and accessed by a spiral staircase (with a slide exit, obviously), to buying up her entire street so friends, family… and her hairdresser can all move in next door. And if that wasn’t enough, she’s getting a time machine too , for evenings spent with Marilyn Monroe, Ella Fitzgerald and Billie Holiday. See more from Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams here:YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/ycyfv2fcOn Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/4ths7nedOn TikTok :https://tinyurl.com/4d9k5457On Instagram: https://tinyurl.com/ykumd329Rich Beyond My Wildest Dreams is brought to you by EuroMillions from The National Lottery and Acast Creative.
