Great Company with Jamie Laing

Paris Fury is an absolute powerhouse of a woman. When At Home With The Furys first hit our screens, 2.6 million people tuned in to watch the first episode. We got a glimpse into life with former Heavyweight Champion, Tyson, and the rest of the Fury family. But for me, it was Paris who really stood out.

As Tyson’s wife of nearly 20 years, Paris has been with him through it all. From his boxing wins and losses to his mental health struggles and addiction - and all of that whilst raising their seven children together.

Paris has always been Tyson’s biggest supporter and the glue that holds the Fury family together.

In this episode, Paris shares:
Why her relationship with Tyson works
Why the misinformation about Travellers frustrates her
How Tyson’s mental health struggles have affected her and why she’ll always be his biggest supporter
Teaching her seven children to believe they can achieve anything
Her daughter Venezuela getting engaged at 16
A very special rendition of her go-to karaoke song

I loved every second of my conversation with Paris. She reminded me that you can do anything and be anyone you want to be. You’ve just got to go for it.

Paris Fury is Great Company.

All eyes are on Alix Earle right now as her very public feud with Alex Cooper plays out online.

As one of the biggest influencers in the world, Alix is no stranger to the pressure that can come with living in the spotlight. But through it all, she’s stayed grounded and built her brand by being herself.

I was so excited to sit down with Alix in LA last year and record an episode of Great Company. She’d been on my dream guest list for years and the conversation didn’t disappoint.

In this Great Moment, she shares how she’s stayed true to herself and explains why learning to say no has been one of the most powerful tools to protect herself and her career.

Making connections and building relationships in the age of social media is hard. Many of us are having to relearn what it means to really click with another person, beyond the swipe culture of dating apps and the pressure to live up to the ‘perfect’ relationships we see online.

Alain De Botton is a modern-day philosopher who founded the School of Life to help people understand the aspects of life we don’t get taught at school.

In this Great Moment, he explains how love doesn’t just need closeness, it also needs distance, and how that space can help us better understand our partners.

Naomi Ackie is an award-winning actor known for her roles in The End of The F***ing World, Blink Twice and playing Whitney Houston in the 2023 biopic I Wanna Dance With Somebody.

I love speaking to hugely talented actors like Naomi. I’m always so curious to know what they’re like away from the characters they play.

Naomi is a perfectionist who has been incredibly hard on herself throughout her career. In our conversation, she shares how her biggest role nearly broke her, what she’s learnt from it and why she won’t let it happen again.

In this episode, Naomi shares:
- The advice her Mum gave her when she first said she wanted to be an actor
- The anxiety & panic attacks that came with playing Whitney Houston
- How losing her Mum at 22 years old changed her
- What it’s like working alongside Zoe Kravitz, Florence Pugh & Robert Pattison
- What happened when Channing Tatum gave her sister a lap dance

This conversation is a reminder that we should all stop judging ourselves so harshly and start celebrating our successes.

Naomi Ackie is Great Company.
