Episode notes

In 2001 Will Young was crowned winner of Pop Idol. His debut single ‘Evergreen’ became the fastest selling in UK history and he became a star overnight.

After eight albums, three books, award-winning stage shows, and a very popular podcast Will’s star power has not waned, but his personal life is transformed.

Now 43, he’s overcome addiction, battled with PTSD, stood up for the rights of others and, in a crushing blow, mourned the death of his brother Rupert.

So what does peace mean to Will now? Does he miss the fast pace of pop stardom? And how does he care for himself when things get tough?

Gabby and Will are also joined by nutritionist Nicola Moore who explains how rewiring our brains can reset our relationship to food.
