Nick Mohammed is a man of many talents. He's the comedian behind the iconic character Mr Swallow, an Emmy-nominated actor best known for Ted Lasso, Slow Horses and Intelligence and, an amazing magician.

He also captured the nation’s hearts as the Faithful who almost won the first series of The Celebrity Traitors.

Nick is one of the nicest people you’ll ever meet. He’s also proof that success rarely happens overnight. Nick started out performing stand-up to an audience of just two people and he has worked his way up to become one of the country’s favourite comedians and actors.

In our conversation, Nick shares:
How magic helped him deal with school bullies
Being part of the first ever series of The Celebrity Traitors
What it’s like working with David Schwimmer and Jason Sudeikis
How he created his iconic character Mr Swallow
The secret to a happy marriage

Anastacia is the American pop-soul superstar with one of the most recognisable voices in music. She’s had an incredible career spanning over 25 years, sold more than 50 million records and given us huge hits like I'm Outta Love and Left Outside Alone.

In our conversation, Anastacia opens up about the early days of her career, from singing at Hollywood parties to lying about her age to get on TV and, how her mum always knew she had something special, long before anyone else did.

In this conversation, Anastacia shares:
Lying about her age so she could compete in a MTV talent show
How her Dad inspired her hit song ‘Left Outside Alone’
Overcoming breast cancer twice and what it taught her about herself

There's a strange kind of pressure that comes with being an adult. We’re encouraged to take things seriously and to have it all figured out. But what if being silly is one of the most important things we can hold on to?

Harry Hill is one of Britain's most loved comedians, known and adored for his surreal comedy that has been making the country laugh for decades.

In this Great Moment, Harry reflects on the loss of his dear friend Sean Lock, and explains why refusing to take yourself too seriously might just be the best way to get through the hard times.

Sometimes the most profound lessons come from the people who taught us to laugh.
