In 2018, Rebecca Humphries was thrust into the spotlight when her boyfriend cheated on her very publicly with his Strictly dance partner. Seeing your partner snogging someone else on the front page of a tabloid might not be the ideal way to discover you've been cheated on, but Humphries has come to realise it was the best thing that could ever have happened to her. Set free from an emotionally abusive relationship, she was able to finally live the life she wanted to... with amazing results.

Rebecca joins Bryony to discuss her book about the painful but valuable lessons she learnt through the very public disintegration of her long term relationship, from the impact of Little Mo in Eastenders and Disney, to learning your own worth.

In Bryony Gordon's Mad World, conversations unfold with a rare honesty, moving beyond simple soundbites to explore the real texture of living with mental health challenges. Hosted by Bryony Gordon and presented by The Telegraph, this podcast sits at the intersection of health, fitness, and mental wellbeing, treating the topic with the complexity it deserves. Each episode is an intimate dialogue, a space where guests-from well-known figures to everyday individuals-share their personal journeys of getting unwell and the nuanced, often non-linear path of getting better. The focus here is on raw openness and vulnerability, dismantling stigma through the power of ordinary and extraordinary stories alike. You'll hear candid conversations that prioritize depth over platitudes, where laughter and tears coexist naturally. This isn't about providing easy answers but about sharing experiences that resonate and connect, reinforcing why these discussions are so necessary. Tune in for a podcast that approaches mental health with compassion and unflinching truth, creating a sense of shared understanding one conversation at a time.
