Gareth fills his days creating social media content, rubbing shoulders with celebs, curating live events, and trawling through the extensive archives of all the incredible and oh so memeable moments from pop culture history. But as you’ll find out, his journey to creating the life he’s always dreamed of was born out of the battles he faced on the way. The fire shaped Annie’s life but not in the way we may all imagine. It gave Annie a mental resilience few of us have, and lead her to discover passions she might not otherwise have known such as her love of fitness. In this special two part episode of Glittering A Turd Fearne fully opens up to Kris on her constant evolution and love of their friendship. Giles has also worked a presenter making documentaries for Channel 4 and VICE, a series which billed him as the one-armed chef, a food is another Giles passions with which he connects to those he photographs to tell their stories. She is an advocate for those with a disability and additional needs, as well as being an ally to other marginalised groups in society. Rosie is truly a force of nature and someone we should aspire all be a bit more like.

Kris was living a totally normal life as a twenty-three-year-old: travelling the world, falling in love, making plans. In this week’s podcast Dermot and Kris discuss what shaped him into the person we see on our screens, and why a work ethic is so important but so is empathy and taking time to appreciate all that life gives you and all those you get to spend time with. New tiny brain lesion followed by stereotactic radiotherapy. Two new liver lesions. Oophorectomy to ensure little to no oestrogen in my body. Stopped letrozole, switched to exemestane and affinitor. Later switched from Affinitor to Palbociclib targeted treatment. Monthly denusomab injections. Her outlook on cancer and living with cancer is so life affirming. I’ve mentioned it before but I’ll mention it again for the sake of this review; I lost my father in 2017, 9 months after a terminal diagnosis of cancer and the whole time was a horrible, difficult, turd of a time, and it would have been very easy to crumble. As I’m sure Kris did at times, but she also learnt how to live. Yes she was given a terminal diagnosis, but cancer diagnoses are no longer always the death sentence they once were. She was given 2-3 years life expectancy and here she is, over ten years later. Releasing her first EP in 2012 followed by her debut album in 2015 it seemed Rae Morris had the world at her feet and her dream career firmly underway. The music, the tours and all that came with it though, brought a sense of anxiety that in the music industry it can be snatched away in an instant… for Rae that time did come.Kris Hallenga to me is an incredible person , when given life changing news she faces it head on . I may not know her personally but I am so proud of her and I am so grateful I got the chance to read this book and to feel part of this. If you follow the high octane, high action, and the highly skilled sport of downhill mountain biking then you will know the name Tahnée Seagrave… if you don’t then it doesn’t matter, as this is an episode of the podcast you need to hear regardless. Kris was living a totally normal life as a twenty-three-year-old: travelling the world, falling in love, making plans. However, when she found a lump in her boob and was told that it was not only cancer, but also incurable, life took on a completely new meaning. She was diagnosed at an age when life wasn’t something to be grateful for, but a goddamn right.
