Summary
This week, we’re joined by the witty funnyman you’ll know from the likes of 'The Apprentice: You’re Fired' and 'Bake Off: An Extra Slice' – it’s the incredibly charming Tom Allen.
Tom joins Kate to take a delightful stroll down memory lane and reminisce about his Bromley roots. Growing up as a slightly awkward, top-hat-wearing teenager with a penchant for fine silverware and dinner parties, Tom’s journey through school wasn’t exactly focused on finding his tribe but rather on beating to the sound of his own drum. Describing himself as a 40-year-old man trapped inside a teenage body as he navigated those early years, we fast forward to his life today at that age he always felt he was meant to be and explore the full journey it took to get there.
