Great Company with Jamie Laing

Tom Davis is one of the funniest people I know. We first met ten years ago on Murder in Successville, the hilarious BBC3 sitcom he co-created with his friend James De Frond.

At the time, I had no idea what I was getting myself into. What I didn’t realise then was just how much the show meant to Tom. Murder in Successville wasn’t just another job for him. It was a pivotal moment and there was so much riding on it.

This conversation is a rollercoaster. I haven’t laughed that much in a long time - but it also reveals a side to Tom that goes far beyond the laughs.

In this episode, Tom shares:
Why he took a risk on me for the very first episode of Murder in Successville
How he desperately wanted to be a dad and feared it might not happen
Why he decided to go sober and what it’s taught him
What Timothée Chalamet text him after the Critics Choice Awards
What happened when Tom was mistaken for Ed Sheeran’s bodyguard

This conversation is a reminder that it’s not always a simple road to success - true success is a journey.

Tom Davis is Great Company.

Zara Larsson is having a moment with her hit song, Midnight Summer. So, who better to feature as this week’s Great Moment…

One of pop’s brightest stars, Zara is sweet, magnetic and unapologetically herself. In this Great Moment, she talks about why it’s so important to make music she truly believes in, instead of getting caught up in what everyone else expects.

The BRIT nominee shares how easy it can be to lose yourself when you’re trying to please everyone and why seeing artists like Beyonce reach the top while staying true to who they are, means so much to her.

Whether you’re a creative, a dreamer or just someone trying to figure things out, this one’s for you. Make what YOU love, back yourself and the rest will follow.

Chris Olsen is one of the biggest social media stars in the world. He joined TikTok in 2020 and quickly became a viral sensation. I’ve admired him for a long time - his social media content is so funny, honest, and just impossible to scroll past.

But what I didn’t fully appreciate until this conversation was just how much he’s been through to get to where he is today.

Chris opens up about getting sober at 19 - before he’d ever had a legal drink - and the intervention that forced him into an impossible choice: choosing between his family and alcohol.

We cover:
His journey to sobriety and what it’s taught him
The heartbreaking moment his mum told him she was an alcoholic
How he handles online criticism without it defining him
The best advice Meghan Trainor ever gave him
How Chris met his new boyfriend Harrison

This conversation is about choosing yourself, even when it’s hard, and about building a life that feels worth protecting.

Chris Olsen is Great Company.

We often talk about the impact our parents have on us growing up but what happens when one of them isn’t there?

For Shirley Ballas, growing up without a father didn’t just affect her childhood. It influenced her confidence, her relationships and how she saw herself - in ways she only began to understand much later in life.

In this Great Moment, Shirley opens up about the emotional gap her father left behind and how facing his death brought an unexpected closure.

This is for anyone who’s felt the quiet impact of someone missing.
