I Took The Cat, with Rebecca Humphries

Rebecca Humphries hit the headlines when her then-partner Seann Walsh was papped snogging his Strictly Come Dancing partner Katya Jones. Rather than sell her story, she released a powerful statement on Twitter, reframing herself not as a victim, but as a woman strong enough to leave - taking the cat with her. She talks to Lisa Williams and Anniki Sommerville about her life since, why she’s actually pleased it happened so publicly, and how she’s coped in the aftermath. We then speak to the Hotbed’s resident clinical psychologist and psychosexologist Dr Karen Gurney about cheating more broadly, how someone can rebuild trust in others after being cheated on, and how couples who choose to stay together can get things back on track. Produced by Alex Graham. Thanks to Ayoub Hachoumi at Acast.
