Rochelle Humes is a singer, presenter and founder of the hugely successful family lifestyle brand, My Little Coco.

At just 12 years old, she won a place in S Club Juniors, before going on to top the charts with The Saturdays. Since then, she’s built a hugely successful career across entertainment and business.

Rochelle has been grafting her whole life. And that’s exactly how she likes it. Raised by her mum on a council estate, Rochelle grew up watching her work incredibly hard to provide for her and her sister. In our conversation, she explains what it taught her and why she’s always been determined to succeed.

In this episode, Rochelle shares:

• Auditioning for S Club Juniors with Frankie Bridge
• How her single mum raised her to be fearless
• Filming a reality TV show with The Saturdays
• How uncertainty after The Saturdays pushed her to build her own business
• Her first date with her husband, Marvin and how he won her over

Rochelle is an absolute ray of sunshine. She reminded me that backing yourself and putting the work in can take you further than you ever expected.

Making connections and building relationships in the age of social media is hard. Many of us are having to relearn what it means to really click with another person, beyond the swipe culture of dating apps and the pressure to live up to the ‘perfect’ relationships we see online.

Alain De Botton is a modern-day philosopher who founded the School of Life to help people understand the aspects of life we don’t get taught at school.

In this Great Moment, he explains how love doesn’t just need closeness, it also needs distance, and how that space can help us better understand our partners.

Naomi Ackie is an award-winning actor known for her roles in The End of The F***ing World, Blink Twice and playing Whitney Houston in the 2023 biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

I love speaking to hugely talented actors like Naomi. I’m always so curious to know what they’re like away from the characters they play.

Naomi is a perfectionist who has been incredibly hard on herself throughout her career. In our conversation, she shares how her biggest role nearly broke her, what she’s learnt from it and why she won’t let it happen again.

In this episode, Naomi shares:

- The advice her Mum gave her when she first said she wanted to be an actor

- The anxiety & panic attacks that came with playing Whitney Houston

- How losing her Mum at 22 years old changed her

- What it’s like working alongside Zoe Kravitz, Florence Pugh & Robert Pattison

The rise of the manosphere says a lot about where things are at - a lot of men feel unheard and unseen in today’s world.

Professor Green, aka Stephen Manderson, is a musician, storyteller, and one of my all-time favourite guests on Great Company.

In this Great Moment, he talks openly about what many working-class men are dealing with. Feeling cut off, struggling to express themselves and often being pushed towards anger instead of understanding.

Stephen shares the experiences that have shaped his life and what he’s learnt from them. Because sometimes, the lessons that help us grow come from showing up and speaking honestly.

Your twenties can feel like A LOT.

There’s a pressure to find a job that you love, show up perfectly in your friendships and relationships… and somehow keep up with everyone else. It’s hard not to compare yourself when everyone else seems to have it figured out.

Author, journalist and host of the award-winning podcast How to Fail, Elizabeth Day understands that feeling all too well.

In this Great Moment, she reflects on how each decade of her life has shaped her, and why reframing the way we think about success is so important.

She explains how comparison can fuel self-doubt, and why the lessons we learn along the way are what truly matter.

Because ultimately, life isn’t a sprint it’s a marathon.

Moses Itauma is one of the most exciting names in boxing right now. He’s a former European and World Junior Champion who’s widely tipped to become Britain’s next heavyweight superstar.

I’ve always been really interested in the journey someone goes on before they become the next big thing and that’s exactly where Moses is.

At just 21, he’s on the brink of greatness as he prepares to face Jermaine Franklin this Saturday night. It’s a world away from where it all began… when he first stepped into a boxing gym aged nine and hated every second of it. From a small town in Slovakia to one of the most talked about heavyweight prospects in the world, Moses’s journey has been anything but ordinary.

In this episode, Moses shares:

- Leaving Slovakia at the age of 3 and building a new life in Kent

- Why he refuses to trash talk his opponents

- What really happened behind the scenes of his fight with Dillian Whyte

- What professional boxers actually get paid

- The mindset, discipline and habits that are taking him to the top

This isn’t just a conversation about boxing. It’s about resilience, belief and what it really takes to become the very best. Moses Itauma is Great Company.
