Rob Beckett burst onto the comedy scene 15 years ago. Since then, he’s become one of the UK’s most successful and popular comedians - from his sell-out stand up tours to his hit podcast Parenting Hell, Rob & Romesh Vs and now, Celebrity Traitors.
I'd been trying to get Rob on the show for years, so finally sitting down with him for a proper laugh was a real pinch-me moment.
Behind the jokes is a comedian who's found his voice, stopped worrying about what other people think, and uses it to give us all a bit of light relief from the doom and gloom in the world.
In this conversation, Rob shares:
This conversation is a reminder that the best version of yourself is usually the one where you stop trying to be anything else.
Rob Beckett is Great Company.

Trinny Woodall is a noughties TV icon turned beauty mogul. From revamping the nation's wardrobe on What Not to Wear to building her own beauty empire, Trinny London, she’s become a household name.
But long before the TV shows and beauty business, Trinny was working on a trading floor, where she quickly learned that to be taken seriously, she had to play a part.
In this Great Moment, Trinny opens up about pretending to be a man to succeed in that world, and the one piece of advice she wishes she could give her 20 year old self.

George Clarke is one of the biggest British social media stars of his generation, followed by millions of people online.
He’s gone from posting funny videos in his university bedroom to making regular Sidemen appearances and reaching the Strictly Come Dancing final last year.
George’s rise happened faster than he ever expected. What surprised me most, though, was discovering that behind the funny videos is a self-confessed introvert who’s had to learn to live his life in the public eye.
In our conversation, George shares:
George was one of the nicest, funniest people I've had the pleasure of sitting down with, and I can't wait to see what he does next.
George Clarke is Great Company.

Rochelle puts her fearlessness down to one person - her mum.

Michael Owen is one of England’s greatest strikers and football’s original Golden Boy. He signed for Liverpool at just 17, became England's youngest World Cup goalscorer and won the prestigious Ballon d'Or aged 21.
But injuries changed everything.
At the top of his game, and far too early into his career, Michael’s body let him down. He moved from club to club, determined to keep playing the sport he loved, before eventually retiring in 2013.
In our conversation, Michael opens up about the highs, the low and how his family has kept him grounded throughout it all. He shares:
Michael’s story is fascinating…and anything but boring.
Michael Owen is Great Company.
All six episodes of Meet the Owens are available to stream exclusively on Prime Video:https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/video/detail/B0HFKN2P87?ref_=atv_dp_share_cu_r

This week, I wanted to revisit my conversation with one of the true queens of country music - THE Shania Twain.
Having Shania on the show was such a special moment. Her story is so inspirational, and in this Great Moment, she opens up about how writing music became her escape through some of the hardest times of her life.
She also tells me why she loves Dolly Parton, and why learning to be proud of yourself can be one of the most powerful things you can do.

Frank Warren is one of the biggest names in British boxing, having promoted some of the greatest fighters the sport has ever seen.
I'm a huge boxing fan, so sitting down with Frank was a dream come true. And his life is like a Guy Ritchie movie…
Frank grew up on a council estate in North London, left school at 14 and fell into boxing promotion almost by accident. He went on to build an incredible career, only to be shot and nearly killed at the height of his success.
From surviving that to promoting some of the biggest nights in boxing, Frank has seen it all.
In this conversation, Frank shares:
Frank is a reminder that resilience isn't about avoiding setbacks - it's about what you build after them.
Frank Warren is Great Company.

Usually, Great Moments is all about the advice and takeaways from our amazing guests. But this week it's a little different…
I wanted to share part of my conversation with a good friend of mine, Jack Whitehall. Jack didn’t come on Great Company because he wanted to… in fact, he only agreed to do it because he owed me a BIG favour.
In this Great Moment, Jack reveals exactly what that favour was and what it’s really like to work with his father, the unintentionally hilarious, Michael Whitehall.
