Bumping into your ex on Christmas Eve Bender | No Parental Guidance

Описание: It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas!

In this very special festive episode, Hannah and Louise are joined by a true national treasure—Larry Lamb. Known for his iconic roles in Gavin & Stacey and EastEnders, Larry sits down with us to talk about the "gift of parenthood," the reality of being a "boomer," and what Christmas really looks like in his household (spoiler: it involves a lot of napping!).

In this episode, Larry Lamb opens up about the magic of the Gavin and Stacey Christmas specials and playing the iconic Mick Shipman.

He also gets incredibly raw about his parents' separation, his mother running away with his brother, and how being "badly fathered" shaped the man he is today.

Before Larry joins us, Hannah and Louise catch up on their own pre-Christmas chaos. From Louise’s husband being out of action thanks to a Padel injury to the stress of a sick child, the juggle is real! We also reminisce about Christmas Eve nights out when we were 18, bumping into exes at the pub, and the hangovers we used to endure on Christmas Day. Plus, we have a festive gift exchange! Hannah presents Louise with some... interesting gifts, including some pickled eggs, and a "ball bag" Christmas decoration.

Hosted by the brilliantly funny Louise Boyce and Hannah East, No Parental Guidance is a safe space for real mums to talk openly and hilariously about the chaos, guilt, and of course joys of parenthood.

Every week, our hosts share their own "parenting fail of the week" before being joined by a celebrity guest who spills the tea on their own parenting fails, the support they have to help through the chaos, and reveals the real stories behind those perfectly curated social media snaps.

From giggles to honest confessions, this is a parenting podcast for those who love their kids but also love to keep it real.
