Walking The Dog with Emily Dean

Ashley James is our guest on Walking The Dog this week! Emily, Ashley and Ray met in London’s Green Park for a stroll past Buckingham Palace - where we were accompanied by the changing of the guard! 

Ashley has a poodle called Snoop, who currently lives with her parents in the Lake District - after Ashley’s dad absolutely fell in love with him... she can't bring herself to ask for him back!

As well as being mum to two young children, Ashley is a broadcaster and influencer who appears regularly on This Morning, and she uses her platform to be a voice for women and mothers online.

We chat about how Ashley struggled with her identity after getting a scholarship to a boarding school, feeling insecure about her accent and what it was like to be on Made in Chelsea whilst struggling financially. 

Part Two of our chat will be available on Thursday!

This week on Walking The Dog, it's the one-and-only Katherine Ryan! We met Katherine in a location in Hertfordshire that was far too muddy for someone as glamorous as she... although Katherine dealt with it VERY well.... much better than Raymond. Katherine caught us up with her three dogs: Manny, Meg and new addition Cardi B - and they are all absolutely adorable!

After encountering a few hurdles with the locals and the mud, Katherine tells us all about the games she played with her sisters growing up, what it was like to be interviewed by Louis Theroux and whether she really does tell everybody everything.

Emily and Raymond head to London’s Regent's Park to take a walk with actual astronaut, Tim Peake! Tim chats about his dog Woody, reflects on his childhood dreams and the journey that led him to spending six months on the International Space Station. And, of course, Emily finds out whether Tim thinks Ray would be a good space dog! 

Tim Peake’s latest book Space: The Human Story is out now published by Penguin. For more info visit: https://www.penguin.co.uk/authors/239553/tim-peake

With details only an astronaut would know and is based on extensive research alongside hundreds of conversations Peake has had with his fellow astronauts, Space: The Human Story is the definitive story of humans in space, marking Peake’s first foray into writing 20th century history.
