Sarah Jossel is one of the most respected names in beauty journalism — a woman who has built a brilliant career helping people look and feel their best while navigating all the twists and turns that come with life in a fast moving industry.

In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down with Sarah for a conversation that is part career deep dive, part listener Q&A — because you had questions and Sarah had answers. From the secrets of the beauty world to the bigger questions about confidence, ageing and how we feel about ourselves as we reach our own midpoints, this is a really open and honest conversation.

Sarah is warm, knowledgeable and refreshingly straight talking — and your questions made it even better. This one is for anyone who has ever wanted to know what really is behind the beauty myths and what actually works!

My guest today is someone who has been part of British television for decades. Fern Britton is one of the most recognisable and beloved faces on our screens — from Ready Steady Cook to This Morning, she has entertained and connected with millions of people over the years with her warmth, her humour and her extraordinary ability to make everyone feel at ease. But as many of you will know, Fern's life hasn't always been straightforward, and she talks with real honesty today about the journey that has brought her to where she is now.

And the next chapter of her life is one she has very much written herself — as a novelist who is producing work that her readers absolutely love. Her latest book, A Cornish Legacy, published by Harper Collins, is out now and it is a brilliant read. She is a perfect Midpoint guest because her story is really one of resilience, reinvention and finding out who you truly are. This is a warm, funny and deeply honest conversation and I am so pleased to have her here today.

Sam McAllister spent years working behind the scenes as one of the BBC's most tenacious and determined producers — pitching, pushing and refusing to give up until she got the story. And it was that relentless determination that led to her securing one of the most explosive television interviews in recent memory — Prince Andrew's Newsnight interview that shocked the world.

In this episode of Midpoint, Gabby sits down with Sam to talk about the ambition and resilience it takes to succeed in a male dominated industry, what really goes on behind the camera in journalism, and the moment her own story broke. Sam talks about the things she's achieved and how she got there - even when things werent straightforward.
