CICI FROM FIRST DATES: Grieving, dating and what Fred is REALLY like...

Cici Coleman, best known for her role on the hit Channel 4 dating show First Dates, joins Jonny & Neil for a powerful and honest conversation about grief, loss, resilience, relationships, and finding your way after tragedy. Cici opens up about losing her mum at a young age, navigating her teenage years without her, and how grief has shaped her outlook on life, love, dating, and relationships. She shares the challenges of growing up while dealing with loss and explains how those experiences continue to influence her today. The conversation also explores Cici's unconventional career journey. After leaving school early with no formal qualifications, she found a way into the banking industry and built a successful career while trying to make sense of a world that had changed forever. And of course, no conversation with Cici would be complete without talking about First Dates. She reveals when we can expect more of the show, why the next series is the best, and gives her honest thoughts on what Fred Sirieix is actually like off camera. If you’ve ever lost someone, supported someone through grief, or just want real conversations about life’s harder moments, you’re in the right place.
