Alex Jones joins Zoe Ball for this week’s Dig It, while Jo has some much-needed time with her family.

They also share the juggle of being a working mum during the school holidays, Zoe recommends the perfect summer reads, and Alex reveals why she – in her own words – is frittata’d up to her eyeballs.

Before Jo's sad news last week, we recorded a special episode of Dig In. We were joined by sleep expert Dr Lindsay Browning - a chartered psychologist, neuroscientist and author. She also holds a doctorate in insomnia from the University of Oxford, so it's fair to say she knows her stuff. Dr Lindsay shares her unparalleled knowledge and advice to help you get a better night's sleep – covering everything from sleep and hormones, how our sleep changes with age and whether nighttime scrolling is really as bad as we think.
