Is there a path back to the spotlight for Mr Big? Sex In The City actor Chris Noth has done his first interview since sexual assault allegations were levelled against him, we discuss.

Plus, if you’ve ever caught yourself saying… “Sorry to bother you, just need a moment of your time” then listen up. Today we’re unpacking "weak language" and whether it’s helping or hindering women.

And, a new trend of parents exposing their ‘lonely kid’ online in the hopes of finding them friends has left former lonely child Clare with a lot to say.
