In this funny and deeply moving episode of Under the Sheets with Tatiana Ashborn, I sit down with The Gavin Sisters, Sharon and Loretta, to talk honestly about love, loss, sisterhood, and rebuilding life from scratch. The sisters share their very real dating disasters, from ankle-tag confessions to painfully awkward first kisses, alongside heavier moments like divorce, being left while pregnant, and navigating single motherhood. They explain how moving in together became a natural decision, raising their children as one family while supporting each other through illness, burnout, and major life changes. Sharon opens up about living with a severe autoimmune disease and how stress, sobriety, and a plant-based lifestyle slowly helped her recover. Together, they talk about stepping away from dating apps, choosing peace over pressure, and finding fulfilment through friendship, purpose, comedy, and their wellness retreats.

In this fabulous episode, Tatiana sits down with long-term couple Chris & Catherine, who have been together since they were just 13 years old. From friends with benefits at school parties to building a real adult life together, their story spans over 11 years of growing up side by side. They talk openly about first times, insecurity, jealousy, and how love changes from your teens into adulthood. They share how learning each other’s love languages, communicating without shouting, and staying emotionally connected helped them stay together through busy and difficult phases. They also open up about sex, intimacy, mismatched sex drives, scheduling time for each other, money, living together, and getting engaged. The episode ends with honest reflections on marriage, pressure to have children, and choosing not to rush major life decisions just because everyone else expects it.

In this deeply emotional and brutally honest episode, Tatiana sits down with married couple Jacky & Eleanor to explore their five-year battle to start a family: three miscarriages, three rounds of IVF, DNA fragmentation, surgery, over £50k spent, and the miracle pregnancy that finally changed everything. From Jacky's past as a world-touring DJ fuelled by drugs, alcohol and afterparties, to the moment he realised he had to rebuild his entire life to become a father, this conversation goes far beyond fertility touching on love, addiction, shame, sex, resilience and staying together when everything keeps falling apart. Eleanor opens up about chemical pregnancies, being hospitalised from fertility medication, discovering PCOS and immune issues years into their journey, and the silent heartbreak of watching everyone else’s baby announcements while grieving her own losses. Together, they share how everything they endured inspired them to create Aloomah Fertility an online fertility community and podcast supporting both partners, especially men who are so often overlooked in infertility conversations.

In this must-watch interview, we sit down with Darren Styles, the powerful figure behind Attitude Magazine (the world's biggest LGBTQ+ media brand ) and the UK publisher of Rolling Stone. Darren gives a raw account of what it was like growing up gay in the UK during the 80s and 90s, the era of Clause 28 and the AIDS crisis , where he felt compelled to hide his sexuality until the age of 32. Discover how Attitude became a "beacon of hope" , why Darren believes it's a privilege to speak on behalf of the community , and the emotional stories of how the magazine has genuinely saved lives, including accounts from Tom Daley, Sam Smith , and rugby referee Nigel Owens. Darren also details the constant battle against media censorship and the political fight for trans rights. Plus, hear the incredible story of his 12-year quest to get Elton John on the cover of Attitude.

This week I’m joined by the incredible singer Deina for a conversation that flows from star signs and energies (including why my Capricorn self and my Leo boyfriend might not be the most compatible 👀), to the truths of a girls’ group chat, and the creative process behind her EP and upcoming album. Deina also takes us behind her lyrics - unpacking the stories, emotions, and moments that shaped her music. It’s equal parts astrology tea & music inspo!

What do you do when you hit 42, walk away from a 20-year marriage, and suddenly find yourself back on Hinge wondering what on earth “vibes” and “icks” are?

If you’re Ellie McKay, you reinvent yourself completely and the old version of you would probably be horrified. In this episode, Ellie spills the tea on everything: from millionaire to homeless, telling her kids about the divorce, dating in midlife, why so many people settle for mediocre (and why she refuses to), and the wild ride of falling in love with her boss. We dive into sex parties, postnatal depression, self-development, and the chaos of working with your mum (spoiler: don’t do it).

Ellie is hilarious, brutally honest, and refreshingly real. This conversation will make you laugh, maybe blush, and definitely think twice about where you’re playing it safe in your own life. 👉 Swipe right on this episode - you won’t regret it.

In this episode, we go far beneath the surface, exploring what it really means to be a woman, the tangled layers of family relationships, and the personal cost of choices around career and children. Ingrid shares candidly about panic attacks during intimacy, the lingering weight of never feeling “good enough,” and how her bond with her mother shifts when distance is part of the equation.

Together, we dive into the “Love, Lust, Learn” theory, why consent must be taught and reinforced, and the ways silence around “no” can ripple into adulthood. It’s a conversation about identity, resilience, and redefining worth through music, memory, and the stories we’re brave enough to tell.

In this conversation, I sit down with Suzanne Noble, creator of Sex Advice for Seniors, to explore the unexpected twists and turns of later-life sexual discovery. Suzanne opens up about her unconventional journey from spending two years having only threesomes, to facing friends’ concerns about whether she was bordering on sex addiction. We dive into the realities of intimacy as we age: vaginal dryness, the liberating truth that sex doesn’t stop in our later years, and the role of vaginal estrogen in women’s sexual health. Suzanne also shares deeply personal stories, being divorced, losing two long-term partners, and embracing a non-monogamous lifestyle. Along the way, we talk French swinging clubs, clothing-optional towns, and a few cheeky hotel room scandals. This episode is a fearlessly frank look at desire, resilience, and joy at any age and a reminder that the adventure doesn’t end just because the candles on the cake keep adding up.

In this conversation, Lauren shares her story, one marked by pain, survival, strength, and the kind of honesty that takes your breath away. We talk about the hidden patterns of abuse: how easy it is to get caught in them, how hard it is to leave, and how those experiences leave lasting marks on our hearts, our relationships, and our sense of self.

Lauren speaks with such bravery about the moments that broke her, the red flags she missed, and the fight to trust herself again all whilst having two gorgeous children. We also open up about the everyday realities of healing - from the messiness of modern dating to the unsolicited messages no one asks for and how difficult it can be to feel whole again after you've been silenced or shamed. This conversation is for anyone who’s ever felt stuck, questioned their worth, or needed a reminder that healing is possible and that you are never alone.

In this episode, investor and entrepreneur Jason Graystone opens up like never before. We dive into building emotional security despite a complicated past, becoming a dad at 22, and how Napoleon Hill’s Think and Grow Rich reframed his views on sex and purpose. From soundproofing offices for intimacy to the transactional nature of relationships, sex tapes, and grounding through arguments - this is an unexpected look at success, self-worth, and connection.

Neemah pulled up to the pod like a Honda Jazz in sport mode. From family money and first-time sex to getting kinky in the bushes, and the delicate art of dating someone with a child, plus a light touch of daddy issues and a not-so-light touch of breeding kink.

We talk about the finer things in life; Tinder hook-ups, post-nut clarity, sacrificing morals for money, cheating (is it ever really wrong?), commitment issues, and the dreaded pokey bum moment. Neemah reveals all but I think I revealed more. It was the best catching up with Neemah, messy, funny, and completely unhinged - tea time, if someone had slipped in a double shot of tequila.

🎙️Listen to the full episode wherever you listen to your podcasts, you’ll laugh, cringe, and possibly reevaluate your entire dating history.

Glory is an amazing woman that I was lucky to meet a few years ago. A true honour to be able to say she's been on my show!

She brings wisdom, humour, and raw honesty to the conversations so many people shy away from but absolutely need to have. We dive deep into the power of communication and eye contact in intimacy, the art of giving head, and the idea that sex is an exchange of energy.

We talk about allocating time to have sex with yourself and whether masturbation in a relationship is a problem. We explore dirty talk - when it’s hot, when it goes terribly wrong, and how to master it;)

We break down the rules of intimacy, delve into what song gains space on your sex playlists, and discuss the moments that aren’t so glamorous - like needing to poo at the worst time (yes, I'm sure we've all been there), shower sex, and whether it’s actually worth the hype. And of course, we always bring it back to safe sex and pleasure that feels good in every way. This isn’t just a podcast about sex - it’s sex education, redefined.

No shame, no judgment, just honest, informative, and sometimes hilariously awkward conversations.

In this episode, we dive deep into the world of unexpected entrepreneurship with Tom, the man who turned lockdown boredom into a booming business - handcrafting branding spanking paddles (yes, literally).

What started as making kitchen tops quickly pivoted into the pleasure industry, proving that necessity (or maybe just curiosity) is the mother of invention. We talk about his "permitted" relationship with a married woman, the filthy truth about Midlanders and Americans, and whether he really should have just embraced a career in the sex industry outright.

Does sex have to be amazing to make a relationship work? Bum and boob advice from a man who knows his way around both. And, of course, the unforgettable moment: "I’m being eaten alive." Buckle up (or, you know, bend over) for a wild, no-holds-barred conversation about relationships, business, and the fine line between DIY and BDSM.

Imagine sitting down with someone who’s not afraid to spill it all—the highs, the lows, and the downright hilarious. That’s exactly what happened when I interviewed Harrison, and trust me, this is a conversation you’ll never forget. Harrison opened up about battling with tics and how they’ve shaped his life, sharing the struggles of dealing with confidence and finding ways to own who he is. But it didn’t stop there. Things got real, funny, and a little wild as we dived into moments that feel too outrageous to be true - 'the one with the toe' From dipping toes into topics like body confidence and that awkward first time, to the time he posted his nude of his Instagram story by mistake (yep, really), nothing was off the table. He even talked about trying to lasting less in a Primark changing room, cringe-worthy chat-up lines, and that moment on a plane that left everyone wide-eyed. And, of course, it wouldn’t be complete without a shoutout to Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” and a bold confession about having sex in a hair salon. This isn’t just an interview—it’s a journey through life’s awkward, honest, and laugh-out-loud moments, with stories that’ll make you think, cringe, and maybe even relate. Come along for the ride. Hit play, and let’s dive in.

In this wild interview, I finally sit down with horse stunt double Franki Hackett, about life behind the cameras. From the chaos of balancing industry standards with young motherhood & relationships to hilarious and cringe-worthy tales of bad sex, blowjob techniques, and asthma attacks in all the wrong moments, Franki tells it like it is. Including the big question - if you have too much anal does that mean your fart would just be silent air? We dive into the wild world of sex parties, to break beds just because we can, and what it’s like navigating life as a young parent while performing jaw-dropping stunts on horseback and becoming an independent Wonder Woman. It’s raw, funny, and absolutely unforgettable, just like Franki herself or should I say ’Unpredictable, Rough & Slightly Salty’ If you’re ready for the perfect mix of jaw-dropping industry stories, laugh-out-loud moments, and some very candid advice, and a furry visitor, hit play now.

Get ready for an unfiltered, hilarious, and brutally honest conversation with singer-songwriter Daisy Veacock. We talk about everything from navigating life as a female artist and handling twatty men, to channeling heartbreak into powerful music. Daisy opens up about the realities of balancing a career in music while dealing with industry expectations, like whether artists have to “act single” to succeed, and the unique challenges of walking into sessions as a female artist. No topic is off-limits as we dive into sex playlists, the gaps in the sex education system, and the ultimate debate: sex or music—what takes the top spot? Daisy also reflects on becoming a gay icon, revenge-fueled songwriting, and the awkward, beautiful, chaotic moments that shape her music.

So this episode is a slightly different one.... I'm in Fiji & I am filming from Naomi's, her husband's & their 4 children's bed, living room & kitchen. I am so lucky to have met & live with someone like Naomi in Fiji. I have never felt so useless until I met her and realised she does more work than most of us put together. Naomi is an exceptional Mum, Daughter, Friend and Voice of Reason. Speaking to Naomi in this episode is just a tiny insight to what she actually does day to day. Apologies for any audio cracks and bad quality video footage within this episode.

We discuss EVERYTHING from the superstitions in her family regarding death meaning she has to have more children, to the scariest idea I think about; when you have no idea you are pregnant until the baby comes because your menstruation has been normal!!

In Fiji culture it is more likely the women are the breadwinners & feel pressure around being a mum and a 'good' woman. It was also interesting learning how they view women body image compared to the western society which is an absolute plus.

And did you know we now have a thing called human rights? Naomi you are one in a million and you've been through it all but boy do you have an amazing sense of humour and I cannot thank you nor your family enough for letting me come into your home - (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100080373706605) If anyone is planning to head to Fiji.

I hope you get to the end of this episode and see that we are raising money for Naomi's family and village. It would mean so much to me and all of them if you were able to donate anything you can for their school in order to have another teacher.

Please view how to donate here...

Diggory Waite is my new favourite human. He is possibly the funniest and kindest person I have been lucky enough to meet and this episode is an absolute corker. Diggory has many anecdotes, mostly about having a sex therapist as a mum but not long after that, he talks about his porn relapse by Samuel L. Jackson's Twitter that made waves in his recovery journey.

Sonny is a man of many colours and we have to celebrate his charming self with all his quirkiness and perhaps his difference of opinions at times. From the christian upbringing and personal exploration to questioning the ease of obtaining sex, Sonny opens ups about his sex life and where he is now as an 18 year old.

Join the conversation as we dive into the world of personal preferences, from red trousers to an unexpected love for chicken nuggets, creating a space where no topic is off-limits.

This episode evolves into an exploration of first times, contrasting the blurry haze of drunk encounters with the clarity of sober experiences, and addresses the lingering emotions that sometimes follow moments of intimacy.

We explore the power dynamics of control versus submission, daringly using provocative language like "slag" to ignite discussions about personal choices and societal expectations. Have you ever felt like a sheep following the herd in the realm of relationships?

We discuss the idea of masculinity and I break his heart when I tell him that women do fake orgasm and a toy should be celebrated rather than thinking you're not good enough.

Tune in for an episode that challenges norms, sparks conversations, and ultimately celebrates the diversity of human interaction.

If you were told that if you have sex, you'd lose your special glue, how would you react? Sophia wrote a book. This is one of the most interesting conversations I have ever had exploring such in depth topics about vaginismus, hymen repair & the idea of having a 'tight' vagina. Sex education isn't taken seriously and can lead to serious health issues. If you don't know, get to know. I didn't realise a lot about the world of sex before I started this podcast - Sophia helped me through it x

James disscusses what love means to him. How autism plays a part in his love life and what he’s truly looking for (not just Beyonce).

James you were a pleasure to have on the show, thank you for being kind 💜
