Looking at James Roffey today, you see the strength, the discipline, the presence of a man who has done the inner work. But behind that calm exterior is a story that challenges everything we think we know about mental health, masculinity, and what it means to fall apart and put yourself back together again.

James is breaking down taboos and speaking openly about the topics that too often go unspoken. His story touches on eating disorders in men, the heartbreak of infertility, the pain of rejection, and the mental health battles that can bring even the strongest to their knees.

From losing his identity when his professional football dream was cut short, to spiralling into years of disordered eating and eventually being hospitalised weighing just five and a half stone, James has lived through it all. He shares what it felt like to be on the edge, the toll it took on his body and mind, and the long process of recovery that followed, not just physically, but emotionally and spiritually too.

He also opens up about the breakdown of his marriage, rebuilding from rock bottom, and the reality of parenting while carrying deep pain. This is not about victimhood, it’s about ownership, growth, and choosing to live differently.

James is the kind of guest who brings truth to the table without ego. His honesty is powerful, his story is unforgettable, and his willingness to speak up is helping others realise they are not alone.

You think you know Caprice? Think again.

In this episode of On a Mission, Ellie McKay sits down with the model-turned-mogul for an unfiltered deep dive into a life that’s been anything but ordinary. From becoming one of the most photographed women in the world to building a multimillion-pound property portfolio and running successful businesses, Caprice Bourret opens up like never before.

This isn’t a tale of overnight success. It’s about grit, self-awareness and ruthless reinvention. It’s about walking away from the easy route, backing yourself in the face of rejection, and being willing to fail in full view of the world.

Caprice gets brutally honest about fame, money, motherhood, celebrity dating, health and so much more. She shares how a shocking brain tumour diagnosis forced her to reassess everything, why she’s done with people-pleasing, and how she’s managed to stay in the spotlight on her own terms.

⸻

Key moments include:

✔ The tabloid moment that catapulted her to fame ✔ Why she walked away from modelling at the top ✔ Building a business empire in an industry that underestimated her ✔ The mindset shift that came after brain surgery ✔ The lessons learned from rejection and reinvention ✔ Why she’s still doing it all, without nannies, filters or excuses ✔ The new chapter: acting, property, purpose and real freedom

This is what happens when two good friends sit down and talk about the stuff that actually matters.

In this episode of On a Mission, Ellie McKay is joined by the brilliant, big-hearted and wonderfully honest Angharad Wrigley for a conversation about life, growth, and finding your way back to yourself after years of running on autopilot.

Angharad shares how it took her until her 40s to finally like the person she’d become. Along the way, she talks about the quiet decision to embrace sobriety, the shift from self-doubt to self-trust, and the sense of purpose she’s found through her business, her love for animals, and a totally new way of living.

From building confidence, to breaking habits, to rescuing dogs and cats and giving them a second chance, this is a story about letting go of what no longer fits and finally making space for what does.

It’s deep, funny, raw in all the right places and a reminder that you’re allowed to rewrite the script, no matter how late you start.

⸻

Key moments include:

✔ The decision to live life with more clarity and less chaos ✔ Why her 40s feel more grounded than any decade before ✔ Learning to trust her gut and stop looking for outside validation ✔ Letting go of drinking as part of rediscovering her identity ✔ Finding unexpected purpose through animal rescue ✔ Creating a business that fits around her values, not the other way around ✔ The shift from functioning through life to actually living it ✔ What changes when you stop trying to be everything to everyone ✔ The power of slowing down, tuning in and doing life differently
