FAME with Jo Elvin

WITH JAMEELA JAMIL

In the first episode of FAME former magazine editor Jo Elvin explores how it really feels to be famous, with the actress and activist Jameela Jamil, who, with her trademark wit and candour, talks about the highs, the lows and the bizarre red carpet dreams that could only happen in the head of a celebrity. Jameela also recounts the worst timed photo request from a fan we could possibly imagine and how she manages to keep herself grounded and not believe the hype. Plus, we hear YOUR stories of encounters with celebrities which haven't gone according to plan, as Jo celebrates our #FameFails.

We've all wondered what it must be like to be famous, right? But how can any of us mere mortals understand what it's really like? Becoming a celebrity changes so much more than your bank balance - psychological studies have even shown that becoming famous will change the chemistry of a person's brain - so can you really, truly stay grounded when stardom calls? In this podcast series, I'll try to answer these questions and even more, through in-depth conversations with the only people who really know what it's like. In this series you'll hear from the likes of Amy Schumer, Jameela Jamil and Tracey-Ann Oberman who share with us some fascinating insights from a position held by very few. Plus, we'll be hearing from you about the times you've unintentionally let your ape-brain take hold in the midst of being star struck ... come-on we've all got a story of embarrassing ourselves in front of someone off the telly, I've got loads and will also be sharing some of my #famefails. Welcome to FAME, with me, Jo Elvin.
