Tan France

Fearne Cotton
About this episode

If outward accomplishment is coupled with great internal distress, is that really success? It’s a question Tan France had to ask himself when his business was doing brilliantly, but his mental health wasn’t.

 

In this chat, Fearne and Tan swap thoughts about the realities of having a new born baby, and why it’s so important to establish what marriage means to you before you get married. They also chat about the power of using clothes to express creativity and identity.

 

You can watch Tan on all-new Say Yes To The Dress UK on Really from the 16th of August, and can catch up on Discovery+.

 

This interview took place prior to the 2023 SAG-AFTRA strike.

 

CONTENT WARNING: This episode contains frank conversation about suicidal ideation, so do take care while listening.
