Stacey Dooley and Larry Dean analyse the biggest celebrity trials and pop culture controversies to date, whilst Jack Remmington and Sarel take a look at some of the most interesting celebrity relationships and what they tell us about love.
Famously… is the perfect biweekly drop to entertain listeners and keep them in the know with all the latest hot takes from pop culture in these funny and refreshing new podcasts on BBC Sounds.
Famously… In Love launches on Tuesday 18 June and will be hosted by presenters Jack Remmingto and Sarel. The engaging new podcast focuses on celebrity love stories and dilemmas.
The pop culture experts will delve into the complex, messy and often outrageous world of celebrity love stories, whilst bringing a fresh and entertaining perspective to the famous relationships and pop culture moments we’re all obsessed with, looking beyond the headlines to bring nuance and human relatability to the drama.
Jack and Sarel will seek to uncover the truth behind some of the most PR-quaffed, loved-up content and ask the burning questions we all want the answers to! Do celebrities make millions from matrimony? Is there a price to pay for publicising your relationship? What would you do if your ex wrote a hit album about you? And what can these stories teach us all about love in ‘real life’?
If there’s one thing that’s guaranteed to stir up public interest it is a famous person on trial, whether that’s in the court room or in the court of public opinion. Launching on Thursday 20th June, Famously… On Trial sees presenter Stacey Dooley and comedian Larry Dean team up to put celebrities ‘in the dock’ to discuss their most-famous court cases and controversies.
As part of this new weekly podcast, Stacey and Larry delve into the biggest celebrity dramas, legal cases and pop culture controversies. The duo discuss some of the most scandalous, juicy and downright absurd celebrity battles. The court of public opinion looms large over any celebrity trial: tactical PR moves, lawyers putting on a performance, and carefully-curated courtroom looks are more likely to make the headlines than any of the legal arguments. Even if a case doesn’t make it to court, public opinion holds great power over even the biggest celebrities’ careers.
The pair dive into the farcical drama of these ‘trials’, identify the heroes and villains of each case, and establish what the real damages were. The brand-new weekly podcast is a fun and forensic look at some of the best known celebrity scandals; from Kendall Jenner’s ill-advised Pepsi advert scandal to Gwyneth Paltrow and Chris Martin’s risible ‘conscious uncoupling’.
Famously… In Love is available on 18 June and Famously… On Trial is available on 20 June on BBC Sounds.
