    S11 EP3: Daniel Foxx - Billionaire Babies, Bali disasters & a Wrestling Ex 

    Daniel Foxx joins Alan Carr on Life’s A Beach fresh from his sell-out Edinburgh Fringe run - and he’s got stories.


    From travelling like a “middle-aged mum” and discovering a very particular lesbian ice creamery in Melbourne, to spotting Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood in business class, Daniel has a lot to report. There’s also his new book, Fairytales for Privileged Children, the inside scoop from nannies working for ultra-rich families, and his split from his professional wrestler ex, which features highly in his new show How Lovely.


    Plus: how to get an upgrade, why you can't eat your feelings in Bali and the exact circumstances under which Daniel would join the Mile High Club.


    Daniel Foxx’s How Lovely is on tour now https://linktr.ee/danielfoxxtour, and Fairytales for Privileged Children is out this month https://sl1nk.com/j9c9ubx.
