Episode description
This week's guest is no stranger to being recognised in the street, as she grew-up with a mum who was kid's TV Royalty, when Blue Peter was in its heyday. As the daughter of Janet Ellis, Sophie Ellis-Bextor noticed from an early age how differently people would react once they knew she had a famous mum, but this unfortunately didn't always mean plain sailing amongst her peer group at school.
Sophie also talks to Jo about the pitfalls of believing your own hype, which can often come with celebrity status in indie circles, and how she coped with overnight fame after achieving the biggest music hit of the year. Jo also delves into the cringe worthy and often hilarious world of #FameFails... HAPPY CHRISTMAS!
