Tanya Burr rose to fame as one of the UK’s original YouTubers. As part of the Brit Crew, she quickly became one of the most recognisable faces on the platform alongside Zoella, Alfie Deyes and Marcus Butler.

I’ve always been fascinated by creators like Tanya and their ability to captivate millions of people from their bedrooms, so I was really excited to have her on Great Company.

In our conversation, Tanya explains why she started YouTube and how quickly it turned into a career. She reveals how her self-worth became tied to how she was perceived online and why, after a very public break-up, she stepped away from YouTube in 2019 to rebuild her life away from the spotlight.

In this episode, Tanya shares:

• Her favourite memories of the Brit Crew
• Living with anxiety and how she’s learnt to manage it
• Why she quit YouTube in 2019
• Rebuilding her life after a public break up
• Dating in her thirties and how she knew her boyfriend Dan was the one

Most people would struggle to walk away from something as successful as Tanya’s YouTube career. But she did. She chose herself and her courage stayed with me long after our conversation ended.

Is there any better feeling than a proper belly laugh? It really is the best kind of medicine and something we all rely on to get through the ups and downs of life.

Rob Brydon has built a hugely successful career on making people laugh. From his iconic role as Uncle Bryn in Gavin & Stacey to his hilarious travels with Steve Coogan in The Trip, he’s truly mastered the art of entertaining.

In this Great Moment, Rob shares why entertaining has always meant more to him than just getting a laugh. He also talks about creating characters like his “small man in a box” and what first sparked his love of performing.

Sometimes making someone laugh isn’t just about the joke, it’s about giving them a moment they didn’t know they needed.

Paris Fury is an absolute powerhouse of a woman. When At Home With The Furys first hit our screens, 2.6 million people tuned in to watch the first episode. We got a glimpse into life with former Heavyweight Champion, Tyson, and the rest of the Fury family. But for me, it was Paris who really stood out.

As Tyson’s wife of nearly 20 years, Paris has been with him through it all. From his boxing wins and losses to his mental health struggles and addiction - and all of that whilst raising their seven children together.

Paris has always been Tyson’s biggest supporter and the glue that holds the Fury family together.

In this episode, Paris shares:

• Why her relationship with Tyson works
• Why the misinformation about Travellers frustrates her
• How Tyson’s mental health struggles have affected her and why she’ll always be his biggest supporter
• Teaching her seven children to believe they can achieve anything
• Her daughter Venezuela getting engaged at 16
• A very special rendition of her go-to karaoke song

I loved every second of my conversation with Paris. She reminded me that you can do anything and be anyone you want to be. You’ve just got to go for it.
