About this episode

This week on Happy Mum Happy Baby we say hiya to actress, presenter and mother of four Joanna Page!


Joanna opens up to Gi about life after Gavin & Stacey, and shares how she juggles the chaos of raising four children (and many pets!) alongside her acting career.


She also reflects on the complications she faced during pregnancy, as well as her experience of becoming pregnant again at 44.


Joanna's new autobiography Lush!: My Story - From Swansea to Stacey and Everything in Between is available now!
