Vicky Pattison and Angela Scanlon launch podcast inspired by ‘female comradery'
'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.
Arianne Merry, executive producer of Get A Grip, 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.
'And they top it all off with a laugh, which is something we all need more of!'
Get A Grip is available on all podcasting platforms from May 8.

Eerie demise of Noel Edmonds' 90s theme park left to decay with graffiti-covered rides after opening for only 13 weeks
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) NOEL Edmonds jetted to New Zealand to invest £15million in property and start a new life down under. Fans are hoping that his new business ventures are more successful than his Blobbyland theme park, which closed after just 13 weeks. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 8 Blobbyland was more popular than Buckingham Palace in the year that it opened Credit: SWNS The park in Cricket St Thomas, in Somerset, was based on the BBC's hit show Noel's House Party, and first opened in 1994. Blobbyland welcomed 650,000 guests, making it even more popular than Buckingham Place, which welcomed 200,000 fewer visitors in the same year. Inside was a mocked-up high street with a Blobby store, but the crown jewel of the resort was Mr Blobby's house. It was named Dunblobbin and was painted bright pink with yellow spots and had a blue roof. Locals often complained of a loud doorbell that could be heard for miles - which rang through their houses every time someone visited the little pink home. But the noise didn't bother guests as young fans went mad for its quirky look, which included a giant stuffed Blobby dog kipping on the ground. When visitors roamed in they were met with a view of a cake-only dinner that the fictional character and his family ate for tea. The entertainment show ran for eight years between November 1991 and March 1999, and Mr Blobby became a kids' craze. Although the bustling fantasy-fueled land attracted thousands of fans, it didn't last long. According to DorsetLive, when the area was re-discovered by urban explorers in 2009 it rekindled the public's interest, and soon groups of people started trying to break into the forgotten den. Noel Edmonds' most bizarre moments - from 'dead parent' orbs and 'electro smog' to Candice the mannequin and bid to buy the BBC As a result, the land's owners blocked an access tunnel and had the remains demolished in 2014. Noel, 76, returning to TV screens to document his new life in New Zealand in June - but insisted the ITV show will be nothing like Clarkson's Farm — because he's not as funny as the former Top Gear star. Noel exclusively told The Sun: 'When we were filming our show, some people who knew about Clarkson's Farm said to me, 'Oh, is it like Clarkson's Farm?' 'And I said, 'No, it couldn't be more different.' First of all, I'm not like Jeremy in many ways, though I wish I were. "He's brilliant. He can articulate an argument beautifully and deliver a sharp, humorous line like no one else.' Noel went on to crack a joke about his years in the showbiz wilderness. His last big gig was on I'm A Celebrity in 2018, when he was voted out after only nine days. Noel laughed: 'People still ask, 'Noel Edmonds? Didn't he die? Is he still around?' 'Yes, I'm still here — and living life to the full.'

Lions star who was married to Chloe Madeley and had 'blind date' with Helen Skelton is now a DJ
One former British and Irish Lion will be DJing in Sydney after the team's third Test against Australia on Saturday, with his life undergoing plenty of changes since he toured The British and Irish Lions are set to conclude their tour against Australia and aim to make history, reminding fans of past stars who may have missed the mark. One such player is James Haskell, who was part of the 2017 Lions squad that ended their New Zealand series in a controversial draw. Andy Farrell's team have already clinched victory with a 2-0 lead Down Under, hoping to be the first Lions team to sweep a three-game series in Oz since 1904. The tour wraps up with a thrilling third Test at Stadium Australia on Saturday in Sydney, where anticipation remains high despite the series outcome being decided. Even though six years have passed since his retirement, former England flanker Haskell will be joining the celebrations. In fact, Wales Online reported he'll be partly in charge of post-match proceedings in Sydney's city centre as he continues to shine in his new career. Haskell, as he is known by his stage name, has announced he'll be DJing in the city centre after Saturday's finale. And there might just be a few familiar 110kg figures cutting shapes on the dance floor once the rugby action simmers. After retiring in 2019, Haskell, who also appeared on I'm A Me Out Of Here, transitioned into music not long after. Unlike his brief stint in mixed martial arts, his time behind the decks seems to be standing the test of time. The 40-year-old has been trailing the Lions around Australia during this summer's tour, eight years since he donned the famous red jersey himself. And the budding club entertainer seems to be carving out quite a niche for himself in this particular field. Ex-Northampton Saints and Wasps star Haskell was previously hitched to fitness guru and lifestyle blogger Chloe Madeley. It's hardly shocking Madeley built her own media empire given her parents are the legendary ITV double act Richard Madeley and Judy Finnigan. The pair began their romance in 2014 and tied the knot four years later. They welcomed daughter Bodhi in August 2022 but called time on their marriage the following year. Both have spoken about their dedication to co-parenting their daughter despite the split. Yet Haskell has owned up to his boozing being a contributing factor in their break-up after Chloe branded the run-up to their divorce as "incredibly scary." "If I put more time into my marriage than I did Guinness, then I wouldn't be divorced now," Haskell told MailOnline in June. "It's one of those things in life where some things don't work out, but I have so much love for my daughter and Chloe. It's teamwork." Years before he even crossed paths with Madeley, Haskell also enjoyed a blind date with the BBC's Helen Skelton back in 2010. By all accounts, their fleeting romance went rather swimmingly. "I'd like to," she told The Guardian when asked about the prospect of a second date. "He's fit, he made me laugh and it was good banter. We kissed. I think if we were both in the same country for more than five minutes, we'd go out and have a laugh. But he's off to Australia and I'm off to Singapore. Maybe we'll rendezvous in Terminal 5." Beyond spinning tracks, Haskell has turned his hand to entrepreneurship, launching Blackeye Gin with podcast buddies Mike Tindall and Alex Payne. His repertoire extends to after-dinner speaking gigs and penning a series of books that draw from his life and rugby experiences. Haskell jetted off to New Zealand as a last-minute call-up for the 2017 Lions tour, stepping in for the injured Billy Vunipola. Despite making four appearances that summer, a Test cap eluded him with the prestigious touring team. Yet Haskell isn't dwelling on past disappointments; instead, he's setting the vibe with his DJ sets during this year's successful series. And his Australian adventure is set to wrap up with a bang following the Sydney finale on Saturday.

GMB star makes on-air plea for Lindsay Lohan to 'get in touch' as he reveals connection
Good Morning Britain's Adil Ray shocked co-host Kate Garraway when he revealed that he once went for dinner with Freakier Friday's Lindsay Lohan and she demanded to know more Adil Ray asked for Lindsay Lohan to 'get in touch' with him while he was on air on Friday's Good Morning Britain. The presenter was back in his usual seat alongside Kate Garraway, and they were joined by former I'm A Celebrity star Melvin Odoom, who had arrived with his showbiz roundup. Having attended the premiere of Freakier Friday last night, Melvin brought up that Adil that met Lindsay, 39, to which the presenter shot back: "You know when we say things off-air, you're not supposed to..." but eventually decided to tell his story. It comes after ITV fans accuse Alan Titchmarsh of 'ruining' garden as foster parents were left sobbing Adil explained: "I had dinner with Lindsay. Me and Lindsay, we had dinner together." But his co-hosts were not about to let him stop there, as Kate prodded him for more information on the topic. Adil continued: "She's lovely. It wasn't a date before you had mutual friends, we all went out for dinner together and she came along. She's lovely, he's a fantastic human, really well-lived, really smart, really intelligent. Lindsay, if you're watching, get in touch!" Lindsay shot to fame when she was cast in the 1998 remake of The Parent Trap and then quickly established herself as a teen favourite in Hollywood with leading roles in Mean Girls, Confessions of a Teenage Drama Queen and Herbie: Fully Loaded. But she had a well-documented struggle with her development in the public eye and during the premiere the night before, Jamie Lee spoke with the programme's cameras about how she wants to protect not only her on-screen daughter, but young ones also up-and-coming through the Hollywood machine. Jamie Lee Curtis said: "It's very important to me if you work with someone who is a teen or a child that you take the responsibility that you're not faking a friendship. Children, actors - it's very transactional. This is very confusing for me and I'm really old and have been doing this since I was a kid. To have that scrutiny and attention is really challenging and I wanna be a safe zone for Lindsay." Fans of the hit bodyswap comedy movie, which was a remake of the 1978 Disney film starring Jodie Foster and Barbara Harris, have had to wait more than two decades for a sequel. And movie star Jamie, 66, recently explained why that is. During an appearance on The One Show, she explained: "The truth is Lindsay had to be old enough to have a 15-year-old daughter. "People would ask me about the movie over and over again around the world and I would say 'yeah we'd love to do it, we love each other and we'd have a great time, Lindsay has to be old enough to be a teenager or the movie doesn't work'. "And then finally, I think it was in Australia, someone said 'she is' and I was like 'what do you mean?' because I've know her since she was 15. "She's a young girl. now she's a young mommy, she's this young girl. I don't know how old she is but someone told me and I was like 'oh, we can make a movie. Let's go'.
