Joining Emily and Raymond for a stroll today is the fabulous Anna Williamson!  We met Anna in beautiful Hertford to chat about her endlessly fascinating life and career. From joining a girlband when she was 17 and then becoming a TV presenter... this woman has done it all. Anna now hosts two incredibly successful podcasts - LuAnna and The Affair - and she also stars as one of the experts on Channel 4's Celebs Go Dating!  We discussed Anna’s childhood in a house with three brothers and golden retrievers. She explains why she feels so strongly about when it's the right place and time to give an opinion and we also discuss the profound effect of grief - and the moment Anna decided to live her life to the fullest.  Follow @annawilliamsonofficial [https://www.instagram.com/annawilliamsonofficial/] on Instagram Follow @annawilliamson_official [https://www.tiktok.com/@annawilliamson_official] on TikTok  Keep up with everything Anna here [https://annawilliamson.komi.io/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafvgNSELT0hNeAoU_T8uPLlqq97KAvrKYKP4k-wnScWHz9aVGLk3p_zgo1l3Q_aem_B2qoF-ewroTRh32qitoKRw] - including links to listen to her fabulous podcasts LuAnna and The Affair.

Join Emily and Raymond for a very special walk - thanks to Bakers Dog Food!  We’re on Hampstead Heath with the wonderful comedian Grace Campbell and her gorgeous dog Eddie!  Eddie is a King Charles Spaniel - named rather brilliantly after Eddie from Absolutely Fabulous - and it’s clear she and Grace have a very special bond.  We spoke about how Grace feels when people tell her they fancy her Dad - Alistair Campbell, why she loves mealtimes with Eddie and we also discuss our dogs’ celebrity look-a-likes.  You can listen to Grace’s brilliant podcast Late To The Party on all podcast platforms!

Join Emily, Raymond, John and Edward for the second part of our walk on London’s Hampstead Heath! In this part of our chat, we discuss John and Edward’s friendship with the wonderful Gemma Collins, their approach to success in the music industry - and how they handle domestic disputes…  We absolutely loved our walk with John and Edward - and we were completely delighted to find out that they think Raymond is 'jepic' - the ultimate compliment!

This week, Emily and Raymond are on Hampstead Heath - with John and Edward Grimes, collectively known as Jedward!  John and Edward are identical twins from Dublin - who shot to fame on The X Factor in 2009 when they were 17 years old. They have gone on to become pop culture icons - releasing four albums, representing Ireland at the Eurovision Song Contest twice and appearing on Celebrity Big Brother - and much, much more! John and Edward’s family dog Blaze is back in Ireland - but they have a long history with dogs including a Shih Tzu! Raymond was utterly delighted to spend the afternoon with this iconic duo! We discuss how people treat them as a result of their public persona, how they feel after losing their mum - and why they fought so hard to be authentic to themselves on The X Factor.  Follow @jepicpics [https://www.instagram.com/jepicpics/?hl=en] on Instagram Follow @jepictiktok [https://www.tiktok.com/@jepictiktok ] on TikTok Follow Emily:  Instagram - @emilyrebeccadean X - @divine_miss_em Walking The Dog is produced by Faye Lawrence Music: Rich Jarman  Artwork: Alice Ludlam Photography: Karla Gowlett  ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
