Summary
As he gets and older, and possibly wiser (which he debates), award-winning comedian, actor, writer, television presenter and author, Matt Lucas reflects on how his father's death at the age of 52 inspired him on to embark on a weight loss journey, how his friendships have ebbed and flowed over the years as well as the twists and turns of his career that have lead him to where he is today.
Matt is best known for his work on BBC sketch comedy series Little Britain and Come Fly With Me, as well as blockbuster hits such as Alice in Wonderland and Bridesmaids. He has been a staple in many of our lives, making us laugh and bringing joy to our hearts.
Gabby is also joined by High Performance Consultant and sleep expert, Sarah Gilchrist of Gilchrist Performance, to shine a light on the importance of sleep health in mid-life and healthy sleep habits to implement to live a happy and balanced life.
