Max tells us everything we need to know about what it's like to look after his showbiz clients and keep them out of trouble, or at least make things better when they inevitably do get into trouble! Max also shares with us some profound moments in his career, including what it was like to work with Peaches Geldof and how she taught him an invaluable lesson in not judging people before you meet them.And then, we hear from the formidable Jackie Weaver, who talks to Jo about what it's like to become accidentally, and suddenly famous. What effect has it had on the people closest to her? How easy is it to carry on with her day job as well as leading a showbiz double life? What does she fear most about her celebrity bubble bursting? And what life has been like in the days after that notorious Handforth Parish Council meeting in the lockdown on 2021.Plus, Jo shares some more #FameFails stories with us, which are always a delight - ENJOY!PRESENTED BY - Jo Elvin PRODUCED BY - Jo Elvin & Amanda Redman - @amandakredmanTWITTER / INSTA - Jo_ElvinMUSIC - Thomas George @TLATWuk
