• CHLOE BURROWS: I'VE FINALLY FOUND LOVE AFTER LOVE ISLAND

  I’ve always been fascinated by the world of Love Island. Having come up on reality, I know how tough it can be both during the show and building a career afterwards, maintaining relationships that the public feel ownership over, and what that does to your mental health. Chloe Burrows was on the seventh series of Love Island in 2021, and was a fan favourite for her no-filter charm. She’s also one of the few islanders who’s managed to make a name for herself beyond the villa, hosting her own hugely successful podcast and numerous TV docs…We cover:•⁠ ⁠How she ended up on Love Island as a bombshell•⁠ ⁠The celeb she almost ended up dating•⁠ ⁠The back story to the ‘married man’ comments in her VT•⁠ ⁠Getting ADHD diagnosis from being on Love Island•⁠ ⁠The worst relationship she’s ever been in•⁠ ⁠Falling in love again•⁠ ⁠Her new dating show and leaving the appsThis conversation is warm, wild and packed with heart, just like Chloe.If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow usInstagram - www.instagram.com/greatcompanypodcastTikTok - www.tiktok.com/@greatcompanypodcastAnd if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] if you'd like to watch Chloe's new show, 'Love In The Wild', you can find it here: www.channel4.com/programmes/love-in-the-wild-untold--THE CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneProducer: Helen BurkeVideo: Jake JiSocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.

• DAVID GANDY: HOW EMBRACING IMPOSTER SYNDROME CAN CHANGE YOUR LIFE

  I’ve sadly never been heralded for my fashion sense but one man who definitely has, is David Gandy. He’s one of the most successful international male models, standing out in an industry where very few men have reached his level of fame and house-hold recognition. David didn’t plan on becoming a model. In fact, it all started when a friend secretly entered him into a modelling competition on ITV’s ‘This Morning'. He ended up winning and his life changed almost overnight. From there, he became the face of exclusive designers Dolce & Gabbana, famously fronting their hugely successful D&G Light Blue fragrance campaign. I was so excited to have him on the pod and speak about his career, life after modelling and of course, find out if he's ever been approached for a movie (answer - he has and you won't believe the role he turned down...!) We cover:•⁠ ⁠Working in a female-dominated industry with some of the most iconic supermodels of all time•⁠ ⁠Toxic masculinity and advocating for the ‘Lost Boys’ who are getting sucked in•⁠ ⁠Overcoming shyness and being an introvert in the public eye•⁠ ⁠Facing up to making mistakes and looking at our insecurities•⁠ ⁠David’s venture into growing his own brand, WellWear•⁠ ⁠And of course, some wild after-party stories! This conversation was a reminder of the value of pushing yourself out of your comfort zone - you never know where it will take you…If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow usInstagram - www.instagram.com/greatcompanypodcastTikTok - www.tiktok.com/@greatcompanypodcastAnd if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at [email protected] CREDITSExec Producer: Jemima RathboneEditor: Dan KingAssistant Producer: Emily D'SouzaVideo: Jake JiSocial Media: Laura CoughlanGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot Hosted on Acast.
