The incredibly down to earth and absolutely hilarious Hollyoaks actor Rory Douglas-Speed is this week's guest. With an art for storytelling, Rory recounts some of his most embarrassing experiences since his type 1 diabetes diagnosis 20 years ago, including a trip to diabetes camp that put him off speaking to other type 1s for years, and how hypos will just always appear during sex.
There are so many points in this episode where I should be asking a question but I'm too busy laughing, and it's so refreshing to hear Rory's take on the ridiculousness of type 1, but also the admission that he wouldn't take a cure for his diabetes even if there was one. Rory also reveals how his fiancé Nadine prompted him to want to take his condition more seriously after years of pushing his body to its limits, and chats about his doubts over whether his illness would prevent him from being a good dad to his son Reggie. Rory is just so much fun - enjoy!
