Emily and Raymond are in the beautiful town of Retford with Reverend Kate Bottley and her absolutely adorable puppy Tony!

Kate tells us all about the experience of being on Gogglebox - the unexpected costs involved in being a part of the show and why she eventually made the decision to leave.

While we walked through the beautiful graveyard in Retford, Kate told us about how she feels about funerals - and what the emotional parts of being a reverend have taught her about life.

And of course - we had to ask Kate if she thinks dogs get to heaven….

We’ve taken Raymond on a trip to Nottinghamshire to the beautiful town of Retford to meet the fabulous Reverend Kate Bottley! Kate is a Church of England vicar - as well as being a journalist, broadcast and TV star.

The Bottleys are big dog lovers - they’ve had a succession of rescue greyhounds, but they’ve recently adopted a wonderful puppy called Tony (who has a very fitting namesake…) Kate tells us all about the unexpected joy of adopting a ‘dog dog’ and how he’s been settling into his new life.

Kate told us all about how she grew up in a non-religious family - and then how a teenage crush led to her discovering religion… She also tells us about being a show off, why she loves graveyards and why she’ll always pick up a ‘karma poo’.

The rain has eased off - and we’re in Regent’s Park with the fabulous Naga Munchetty!

Naga us about show she experienced excruciating periods from the age of 15 - and how that led her to writing her new book It’s Probably Nothing - where she draws on her own experience of being dismissed, undiagnosed and misdiagnosed to explores the devastating outcome of decades of ingrained medical misogyny.

We also find out how Naga deals with criticism, behaviour she won’t stand for on the train - and the *very* usual thing she does between courses at dinner…

It’s Probably Nothing: Critical Conversations on the Women's Health Crisis and What We Can Do About It is out now. You can buy your copy here!
