- 41 minutes 52 secondsS11 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.
