Hello and welcome to Happy Place. I'm Fern Cotton and this is the show where brilliant people

reveal some of their less brilliant moments because well we all have days like that.

Today we spend time in the company of superstar chef Tom Kerrich.

I've drunk bigger, better, stronger than anybody else. I've done more than ever.

Like I was always last man standing at every, I mean in industry that is surrounded by alcohol

and drugs and excessive behaviour and I was the best in it.

As ever we explore the dark side of life as well as the good times.

So check the show notes if you need to know more about what we're going to talk about.

But what I will say now is he is incredibly open.

For this episode of Happy Place we partnered with Heritage by Julox.

Heritage Velvet Mat has a luxury soft touch paint finish that stands up to the demands

of a busy modern home. Available in a beautifully timeless colour palette that allows us

to fill our homes with whichever rich feelings we please.

I've got a pot of an utterly gorgeous rich shade called Deep Ultramarine right here.

Do you know the Lapis Lezouli Stone? It's like that. A completely hypnotic balloon that reminds me

of just how much I feel mesmerised whenever I'm by the sea on the south coast.

It's got that gorgeous seaside feel to it, that deep sea feel to it.

Whenever I'm by the sea I feel just so much calmer.

My nervous system, my physical body, just everything slows down a bit and feels less edgy.

And that means my thoughts stop racing. They're just at a slower pace and I feel

like I can just manage with everything that bit better. The sea has a huge effect on me.

So it will probably come as no surprise to you that I've got options. I mean they're going to paint
