Nathan Henry and his mum on Geordie Shore, tackling trolls & parenting in a social media world

We have a brilliant episode for you this week, and while Louise is away having a lovely time schmoozing with the celebs in Cannes, Hannah is holding down the fort for a very special, hilarious, and deeply moving Yorkshire reunion! In honour of Pride, we are joined by the iconic Geordie Shore star Nathan Henry and his incredible mum, Beverly, to share their beautiful family bond and offer real insight for parents navigating their own children's journeys. Nathan and Bev get honest about his experience coming out—from his early days filtering his true self on Geordie Shore to cope with a high-pressure environment, to the emotional moment he finally came out as gay on TV. Bev opens up about her fierce, protective motherly instinct when dealing with online trolls, and why her immediate, calm reaction to Nathan's news at home helped create the ultimate safe space for him. This episode is a must-watch for any parent looking to support their LGBTQ+ children. We dive deep into: · Creating a Safe Space at Home: Practical advice from Nathan and Bev on using inclusive, open-ended language with teenagers rather than making assumptions. · A Parent’s Role: Bev’s powerful stance on being your child's ultimate protector, no matter what they face in the outside world. · The Reality TV Baby Boom: How the Geordie Shore cast (Sophie, Holly, Marnie) stay tightly bonded through motherhood, fertility struggles, and massive WhatsApp group support networks. · Grandparent Privileges: Why Bev gave her own kids "tough love" but turns into a total soft touch who hands out £10 notes and treats to the grandkids. · Nathan’s Next Chapter: His dreams of retiring from reality TV to become a stay-at-home dad, exploring adoption and surrogacy with his partner. Plus, you won't want to miss Bev's unforgettable, chaotic 20-hour birth story involving a Virgin Mary statue and a doctor with hands the size of shovels! Whether you are a parent looking for guidance or just love a heartwarming mother-and-son dynamic, this episode is packed with love, laughter, and invaluable takeaways.
