From Derry Girls to Motherland, Amandaland, and now a BAFTA nominee, Philippa Dunne has spent years quietly becoming one of the funniest actresses on British television. But getting here wasn't easy.
In this chat with Josh, Philippa opens up about the relentless years of rejection before Motherland came along, the once a month conversation she'd have with herself about quitting acting for good, and how close she came to walking away entirely. She talks candidly about growing up desperate to fit in, why her character Anna feels like 13 year old her, and how comedy became the skill she built just to survive the playground.
Plus she joins The Group Chat to answer your questions, including which celeb fangirls over Amandaland, the moment Stephen Graham complimented her at the BAFTAs, and her ranking of the ultimate movie silver foxes.

You've been added to the group chat. Each week we invite our celebrity guests into the group chat and ask them your questions. Quick fire questions, honest answers. Anything goes in the group chat.
This week we're sliding into the DMs with Russell T Davies, the TV icon behind Queer as Folk, It's a Sin, Doctor Who and now Tip Toe. He reveals the hardest scene he has ever had to write and what he said to a TV exec who told him to give a character a tick because they were boring. He also shares the news that It's a Sin is coming to the stage as a nationwide ballet tour, and gets candid about when he first felt seen on screen as a young gay man and how that moment changed everything.

From Queer as Folk to Doctor Who, It's a Sin and now Tiptoe, Russell T Davies has spent 30 years starting conversations that nobody else dares to. And he's not finished yet.
In this chat with Josh, Russell opens up about why he wrote Tip Toe, a gripping new drama about two neighbours whose feud grows darker and more dangerous, and how it reflects a world where online anger is spilling into real life with terrifying consequences.
He talks candidly about what it still feels like to come out every single day, why the MeToo movement barely scratched the surface, and why he thinks intimacy coordinators on set are essential, not optional. He also gets into why visibility, the very thing he has championed his whole career, may now be making the queer community a bigger target, and why he believes a fight is coming that we all need to be ready for.

She also gets candid about being diagnosed with a brain tumour at 22 and how it changed her whole approach to life.
Plus she reveals her biggest onstage comedy bomb, why she'd fake her own death to get out of a group chat, and that her revenge tip is strictly for DMs only.

From seven years playing Veronica Lodge in Riverdale, to starring in the new movie Masters of the Universe, Camila Mendes has quietly done a lot of growing up in public.
In this chat with Josh, Camila opens up about her battle with an eating disorder in her early twenties, and the full circle moment of intentionally gaining muscle and strength for her biggest role yet. She talks candidly about the mental health retreat that changed everything, and the power of saying no. Now Camila believes if success is getting in the way of her happiness, it isn't worth it.
She also shares the advice her dad gave her about relationships that stopped her in her tracks, and why the friendships she made with her Riverdale co-stars are so important to her.
Oh, and she is now officially a Barbie doll. And yes, she has already sold out.

From an unknown actress to the First Lady of Musical Theatre, Dame Elaine Paige's story is one of the great showbusiness journeys. Eighteen years of auditions, rejection, and near-quitting before one role changed her life overnight.
In this chat with Josh, Elaine opens up about the chaos that happened when the world found out she'd been cast in Evita, how she escaped a pack of journalists who chased her down the street, and the moment she burst into tears telling her mum she didn't want the fame that came with it. She tells the extraordinary story of how she came to perform the iconic song Memory in Cats, and taking to the stage in Sunset Boulevard only a few hours after recovering from breast cancer surgery.
She also reflects on meeting actress Rachel Zegler who took on Elaine’s famous role in Evita, the life-changing wisdom Stephen Sondheim passed on to her, and why she thinks music and arts in state schools should be everybody's urgent priority.
Oh, and she has a copy of her 23rd solo album, Miscellaneous Paige on its way to Buckingham Palace for the King.
Elaine’s album Miscellaneous Paige is out July 17th and her single Only A Lifetime is out now

Lucy Halliday lied her way into her first audition, went to medical school convinced acting would never happen for her, and is now starring opposite Elizabeth Moss in the sequel to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’. Lucy’s journey to playing the rebel Pearl Girl Daisy in ‘The Testaments’ has been anything but straightforward.
In this chat with Josh, Lucy opens up about landing only her third professional job, what it was like to film her first week on set with Elizabeth Moss, and the life-changing advice James McAvoy gave her on the set of California Schemin’ that has become her mantra. She also talks candidly about growing up without drama school training and why she would never call herself an actor until very recently.
Lucy gets into why The Testaments feel so urgent right now, why the line between the show and reality is terrifyingly thin, and what she thinks needs to change to make young women safer in society today.
Oh, and she tells the full story of hyperventilating in Margaret Atwood's face, sitting elbow to elbow with her watching the first episodes back, and what Margaret pulled out of her bag at lunch that nobody was expecting…

From three Spider-Man films to Mean Girls, Mare of Easttown, and now leading the rom-com Finding Emily, Angourie Rice has been one of the most quietly compelling actresses of her generation. And she has been doing it since she was six years old.
In this chat with Josh, Angourie opens up about what it's really like being a child actor, navigating a world of adults as a child, and the people-pleasing that made it hard to stand up for herself. She talks candidly about body image and costume fittings, why comparison is something she still struggles with and the incredible advice that helped her overcome it.
Angourie also gets into what genuinely frustrates her about the way women are written on screen, why the phrase "strong female character" needs to be retired, and why the responsibility for women's safety shouldn’t fall on women.
Plus, she tells the story of her grade seven boyfriend ditching her for laser tag, reveals her karaoke go-to, and shares what she learned about British university culture filming in Manchester.

From Neighbours teen to the Australian pop icon behind Innocent Eyes, one of the best-selling debut albums of all time, Delta Goodrem has spent more of her life in the public eye than out of it. And through all of it, she has refused to stop.
In this chat with Josh, Delta opens up about the moments that tested her most: being diagnosed with cancer as a teenager at the height of her success, the quiet battle of finding her voice again after illness changed everything, losing her voice entirely in 2018 and having to relearn how to speak, and advocating for equal pay on ‘The Voice’. She reflects on why those chapters, as brutal as they were, shaped the artist and the person she is today.
She also tells the full story of how Born to Try came to be written in 20 minutes in her family home, the moment she knew her life changed, why she burst into tears when she got her Neighbours script and demanded they rewrite her character, and how she walked away from a 20-year major label deal to launch her own record label and take full control of her career.
Plus, Delta talks about representing Australia at Eurovision and why she absolutely cannot perform without a wind machine.

From a working class girl in Ayrshire, fuelled by teenage rage at Margaret Thatcher, to becoming the first female First Minister of Scotland, Nicola Sturgeon has one of the most extraordinary political journeys of our time. And now, for the first time, she's telling it on her own terms.
In this chat with Josh recorded live at the Aye Write Book Festival in Glasgow, Nicola opens up about the crippling imposter syndrome that followed her all the way to the top, and how she learned to turn that inner voice from a handicap into a superpower. She talks candidly about navigating a world built for men, the double standards, the authority gap, and why Boris Johnson deliberately messes up his hair before going on camera.
She reflects on the heartbreak of the Scottish independence referendum and what that taught her about failure, her deeply personal decision to speak publicly about her miscarriage, and the unfounded rumours about her private life that spread from social media all the way to her parents' front door. She also shares what it was really like to have audiences with the late Queen, meet Hillary Clinton on a 10 out of 10 hangover, and go clubbing at university with a certain Gerard Butler.
And after a lifetime of speaking for a government, a party, and a country, she talks about what it finally feels like to speak only for herself.

From playing Dr. Carter in ER, swearing he'd never do another medical drama, to starring in and exec producing the Emmy Award-winning HBO series The Pitt, Noah Wyle has made one of the great TV comebacks. And this time, it's personal.
In this chat with Josh, Noah opens up about why The Pitt feels different: it’s a raw, unflinching look at the American healthcare system post-Covid, tackling subjects rarely seen on screen including mass shootings, fentanyl, the border crisis, the nursing shortage, incel culture, and trans rights. He talks about why portraying doctors' mental health playing Doctor Robby on the front line matters, and why he thinks men find it so hard to talk about their own. He's candid about seeking therapy throughout his life and why it's been quietly fundamental to who he is today.
Noah also reflects on what it feels like to have found huge success in his twenties with ER, and then rediscovered it all over again in his fifties, with a Golden Globe, Emmy, and an Actor Award for his role in The Pitt. He talks about how George Clooney taught him the value of teamwork, why he felt like an imposter for years until now, why they made the decision to ban phones from the set of The Pitt and how The Pitt brought him and his mum, a former medical professional, so close that they've lobbied together in Washington for healthcare workers.

From singing her way into our hearts with her sister Chloe to becoming the Little Mermaid — and now leading a brand new rom com, ‘You, Me and Tuscany’ which is in cinemas now— Halle Bailey is proving she's just getting started.
In this chat with Josh, Halle opens up about learning to balance a thriving career with new motherhood, the strong women who shaped her, dealing with hair inequality and why she's a firm believer in speaking things into existence. She also reflects on what it meant to step into the role of Ariel — and how she rose above the wave of criticism that came with it.
Of course we also talk about Halle’s new movie, ‘You, Me and Tuscany’ too, the white washing of rom-coms, why it shouldn't be a surprise to see two Black leads in a rom com and what made this project extra special: it was her first time ever working with a woman director.

This week we're sliding into the DMs with Theo James — the British actor you know and love from Divergent, The White Lotus, and The Gentlemen. He reveals the last time he had his heart broken, sets the record straight on whether he's actually posh and explains why he's gone completely off the social media grid. He also shares the advice he'd give his younger self: "Don't take yourself so seriously, don't compare yourself, and enjoy the moment."

From playing Club Rep in The Inbetweeners movie to the star of Divergent, The White Lotus, The Gentlemen, and now action thriller Fuze (out in cinemas now) — Theo James has quietly won us all over.
In this chat with Josh, Theo opens up about the pressure of being a leading man in an industry obsessed with physicality, and why the rise of the manosphere worries him deeply. He reflects on a culture increasingly defined by money and status over relationships and morality — and what that means for young men today.
He also gets candid about his short-lived music career, his UN Ambassador work with refugees, and fighting with Anthony Hopkins.

From starring in Bridgerton to appearing in the comic book adaptation One Piece, Charithra Chandran is one of the most exciting talents redefining what representation looks like on screen.
In this chat with Josh, Charithra opens up about the profound responsibility of being a woman of colour in an industry that wasn't built for her, including the racism, apathy, and backlash she faced when cast in One Piece.
She discusses why her post-Bridgerton journey has quietly reshaped her ambitions and gets candid about therapy, heartbreak, and learning — finally — to ‘take the wins’ and ‘let love in’.
