HOME TRUTHS FROM SIMPLE LIFE

In episode 3 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex unpack the messy, accidental, sometimes wonderful reality of building a life online. Nav’s leftover roast pie hit 4.5 million views overnight. Alex’s spa day vlog took off while she had the notifications turned off.

Neither of them set out to do this, and neither of them is willing to pretend it’s all curated brand trips and free stuff. They get into: What it’s actually like being recognised in public (and the awkward John Lewis moment) Why Nav gets criticised for portion sizes and Alex still feels judged on Instagram The Brooklyn Beckham family drama and what it says about privilege The proposed under-16 social media ban (and why they’re both for it) Being a “comfort” for strangers vs. a target for trolls The cost of cultural criticism when you come from a community that doesn’t always have your back Dream collabs (Gordon Ramsay’s butter chicken is involved) And the truth about what they really thought of each other when they first met Plus a Home Truth involving a Ryanair flash mob in Liverpool One, and the return of ‘The Neighbour Dispute Court’ judging real disputes from parcel-collecting nightmares to recipe theft (Nav’s mum is in the dock).

Your 30s aren’t a deadline — they’re a decade.

In episode 2 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex get into the pressure of hitting “milestones” by a certain age. Marriage, mortgage, kids, career and why so much of it is noise. Nav reflects on the back end of her 30s, the crossroads between corporate and creative, and the regret she didn’t see coming. Alex talks about why she’s still at home despite having the deposit, the maths nobody shows you on social media, and turning 30 without dread.

They also cover:

Why “failure” feels different when you grow up in an immigrant family
The generational gap on house buying (and why your parents’ advice doesn’t translate)
Cultural expectations vs. the new normal
Becoming more assertive in your late 30s
Why social media validation is a trap
The one piece of advice they’d give their 20s selves

Plus a round of Fad or Fab — self-care Sundays, capsule wardrobes, plant parenting, health tracker obsession, nostalgia consumption and more — and a Home Truth reveal involving a webbed toe and a possible cover-up.

The girls are back for Series 2! Nav and Alex reunite at Nav’s house, joined by Tilly the dog, for a proper catch-up on everything that’s happened since we last saw them.

Expect chaotic New Year superstitions (involving cinnamon and pennies taped to a door), strong opinions on Christmas Day meats, the great Boxing Day debate, why Christmas markets are a £14 bratwurst scam, and the genuinely shocking price of mini eggs in 2026. Plus family arguments, Valentine’s vs Galentine’s, and Nav’s full retelling of the 21st birthday she famously didn’t make it to.

And somewhere along the way, Alex tries to tell a lie. Did she get away with it? You’ll have to listen to find out.

Coming up next week: Alex finally turns 30 (and Nav, nearly turns 40).
