Giovanna Fletcher talks working with Kate Middleton: ‘Early childhood will be her legacy!’

As a best-selling author, podcaster, presenter, patron for breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!, actress and mum to three boys, Giovanna Fletcher is certainly a woman with a jam-packed diary. Luckily for us, the winner of 2020’s I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! has found time in her schedule to talk about her latest projects – following a very special new royal appointment. Giovanna famously struck up a bond with the Princess of Wales when Kate was a guest on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast back in 2020.

Kate is returning the love by enlisting Giovanna for her Shaping Us project. Giovanna, 38, explains that’s not the only thing keeping her busy. She’s fronting a second collaboration with outdoor apparel brand Regatta, which launches tomorrow and is themed around a good old British staycation.

Here, she tells us why the great outdoors is a happy place for her, McFly star husband Tom, 37, and their sons Buzz, nine, Buddy, seven, and Max, four, and reveals how she manages all the different strands of her career… You’re working with the Princess Of Wales on her new Shaping Us project. How did that come about? Well, we did the podcast three years ago, which was to launch the foundations of what this campaign is built on. Early childhood is so important, because everything that happens to us from age 0-5 shapes us into the humans that we become.That doesn’t mean that when we get to five we’re shaped, but your brain is like a sponge in its younger years.The campaign is about taking away the pressures on parents, and realising that every interaction young people have within the community is important.
