Summary

We’re in North London this week with the fabulous presenter, podcaster and bestselling author Kate Lawler and her two dogs Baxter and Shirley.

Kate is absolutely in love with her dogs - and long with her little girl Noa - they are her children! Baxter is 13 - he’s a border terrier and joins us on our walk in style in his very own dog buggy. Shirley is a mixed breed terrier rescue who tends to leads the pack and loves to chase squirrels.

We discuss the qualities that Kate has that led her to win series three of Big Brother, the joy that Shirley and Baxter bring to her life and her thoughts on having a fulfilled life - with, or without children.
