Summary
Dr James Greenwood joins us today!
You might know him as BBC Morning Live’s ridiculously handsome vet, but to me he’s a dear friend — and honestly one of the wisest, kindest humans I know. We planned to talk about your questions on queer parenting … but instead we got completely swept into a powerful and deeply personal story James chose to share.
Along the way:
- chaotic coming-out stories (in front of a whole audience, naturally),
- My top tip for marriage that nobody asked for
- and the rarest discovery of all: a gay man with fully intact mental health.
It’s heartfelt, hilarious, and precisely why I love James and think you will too — click play now. Chris x

| 1:24.6 | skills and beautiful talents. So you're a vet by trade. |
| 1:30.3 | Yeah, so I'd sort of describe myself first and foremost as a vet, first and foremost, |
