Angela Scanlon launches podcast with Geordie Shore's Vicky Pattison
The catalyst for the podcast was "female comradery in the face of the ridiculous", according to Virgin Radio UK host Scanlon.
"Being told to 'get a grip' is not a new notion for most women, and is something I've experienced a couple of times (a week!), as has Vicky," the 41-year-old said.
"Female comradery in the face of the ridiculous was the catalyst for our new podcast. We wanted to create a fun and empowering space where we can unpick the good, the bad and the bizarre happenings in the world each week as we move through our own lives loudly, unashamedly and maybe a little unhinged.
"We're taking the group chat into the pod world and we can't wait for you to come with us!"
Reality TV star Pattison said: "For those who know me by now I am never one to shy away from expressing myself whether people want to hear it or not!
"So I'm thrilled that I get to do that alongside my partner in crime as we do our best to keep things real and put the world to rights with lots of laughter along the way. I have no doubt we will be bringing a lot of you along with us too."
I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! winner Pattison, 37, previously hosted the podcast Vicky Pattison: The Secret To, where she spoke to celebrities about their success.
Scanlon presented the podcast Thanks A Million, which saw her interview celebrities including comedian Alan Carr and Irish TV presenter Laura Whitmore.
Executive producer of Get A Grip,Arianne Merry, said: "We're absolutely thrilled to team up with Angela and Vicky on Get A Grip.
"This is an unapologetic podcast that your ears have been craving. It's bold, brilliant and brimming with personality.
"We knew we were creating something special from the moment we got Angela and Vicky in the studio together.
"They not only get on like a house on fire, but bring two distinct female perspectives to the table, tackling everything from personal battles, headline-grabbing issues or the lighter side of life, whilst carrying mutual respect and quick wit.

The many lives of Joey Essex as star makes pro boxing debut
Reality star Joey Essex is set to make his professional boxing debut, and it's left us wondering: Is there anything this fella hasn't thrown himself into? The 34-year-old rose to fame following his stint on The Only Way Is Essex, and then participated in a realm of other reality shows, but has also been a panelist on some other shows. Joey has tried his hand at entrepreneurship, launching his own hair products, opened his own shop, launched his own clothes line — and has released two fragrances. Reality star Joey Essex is set to make his professional boxing debut, and it's left us wondering: Is there anything this fella hasn't thrown himself into? Pic:The reality star has tried his hand at singing and skating, and has appeared on many of our favourite dating shows — most recently Love Island. And now he's going boxing. Ahead of Joey's pro-boxing debut, we thought we'd take a look at the many lives of Joey Essex. Pic: ITV/REX/Shutterstock Joey first arrived onto our TV screens in 2011 when he appeared on The Only Way is Essex (TOWIE) alongside cousin, Chloe Sims, before he was then promoted to a main cast member. During his time on TOWIE, he also compete in Splash! and following his departure from TOWIE headed into the jungle where he competed in I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! Other notable credits to Joey's reality show list include Celebs Go Dating; Celebrity on the Beach; Dancing on Ice and the Aussie version of I'm a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here. Joey Essex. Pic: ITV Before Joey left the TOWIE cast, he was took part the recording and release of a single, REEM, which was a word coined by Essex himself often used when he was saying something was cool. There's much more to Joey than a couple of reality shows and a song, though! In 2013, the star released his own hair products range, Joey Essex: D'Reem Hair, quickly followed by a fashion boutique in Essex called Fusey in the same year. The boutique, based in Brentwood, featured a range of clothing including Joey's own Fusey fashion range. Pic: Ken McKay/ITV/REX/Shutterstock But what's a celebrity with their very own fragrance? In the same year, Joey released two fragrances — Fusey for men, and My Girl for women, both of which got good reviews at the time. In 2016, Fusey clothes their doors for the final time, but the star was set to release a new clothing line the following year. Pic: ITV Last year, Love Island fans were left divided when Joey entered the villa as a bomb shell in the hopes of finding love — or maybe he was in it for the money, we'll never know! There was fury from some fans who argued the show was for non-celebs or so-called 'normal people' though others were more in agreement with the recent shake-up, which followed the shock return of Adam Collard which happened two years previous. Joey reconnected with model Grace Jackson, who he had been previously linked to. He later coupled up with Jessy Potts, though their romance came to an end following their departure from the show. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Joey Essex (@joeyessex) Joey's next venture is into the boxing ring where he will make his debut with Misfits Boxing alongside Portugal's Numeiro. The bout will take place on the Ring of Thrones fight night which is being held at the AO Arena, Manchester on August 30. Announcing his debut, Joey said: 'Well it's time for me to step in the ring and show you all what I'm really about for the first time ever. 'What are you saying?'
