Summary

Just a heads-up that in this episode we talk about late miscarriage. I am so grateful to Kelly for opening up about something that affects and speaks to so many of us - it’s a beautiful conversation but if you’re feeling tender around those issues for whatever reason, we’ve put in the time-stamps below in case you need to skip that bit. Kelly is a woman whose career has reflected the shifting tides of the British media landscape: from finding fame as a glamour model in the 90s, and being voted FHM’s sexiest woman in the world on more than one occasion; she later made the move into presenting and acting. Now it's also just been revealed that she'll take part in this year's I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! In her first interview since that announcement, Kelly joins me for an honest and moving conversation about the pitfalls of fame, finding true love and she gives an extraordinarily vulnerable insight into her own fertility journey and her decision not to have children. Plus; how working on her own self-worth has brought her new happiness. An inspiration! ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Introduction 02:05 Marriage 05:28 Joining 'I'm a Celebrity' 06:52 Preparing for the Jungle 10:56 Reflecting on Success and Failure 25:28 Navigating Personal Growth and Boundaries 26:39 Romantic Relationships and Sacrifices 31:36 Dealing with Loss and Grief 33:31 Body Image and Societal Pressures 35:55 The Pain of Miscarriage 46:39 Embracing Authenticity and Moving Forward 💬 QUOTES TO REMEMBER: ‘ Being sexualised at such a young age was very uncomfortable.’ ‘ I came from a very normal working class background, but success came to me very quickly.’ ‘ I think we are living in such a beautiful time where we can just be our authentic selves.’ 🔗 LINKS + MENTIONS: Kelly is on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! 2025 - watch on ITVX Join the How To Fail community: https://howtofail.supportingcast.fm/#content Elizabeth’s Substack: https://theelizabethday.substack.com/ Kelly’s reading: ‘Confidence over consensus, Doing what feels right, and not what's expected of you Freedom over fear, Saying no without guilt, and yes without hesitation, Creative boldness, experimenting, breaking down your own rules and, Not caring if everyone gets it.’ 📚 WANT MORE?

0:09.2	Unfortunately, as I get older, I've become more of a selfish bitch.

0:15.1	Oh, well, I was offered Mungaro literally last week by a doctor.
0:19.7	Wow.
0:20.9	Isn't that insane?
0:22.4	Welcome to How to Fail, the podcast that treats all failure as data acquisition.
0:27.7	Before we get onto this episode, please do subscribe because it really, really helps and it
0:32.9	ensures that you will never miss a single conversation.
0:38.6	Life's been full on lately in the best possible way. I've just wrapped up a world win
0:43.3	national tour for my latest book. And while it's been an incredible experience, it's also
0:48.2	been kind of exhausting. And honestly, I know I'm not alone and feeling like there just
0:52.8	aren't enough hours in the day.
0:54.8	Between work, family, friends, and the general chaos of being an adult, even finding time to
1:00.2	eat properly can feel like a luxury.
1:02.8	That's where Uber Eats steps in, because, let's be real, adulting is a lot.
1:09.4	Uber Eats gives me one fewer thing to worry about. It's fast, easy and
1:13.9	means you can actually enjoy a moment of calm, even if it's just flopping on the sofa in peace.
1:19.6	So next time you're feeling like you've done just enough, let Uber Eats take care of the rest.
1:25.0	When you've done enough, order some food on Uber Eats.
