Whether you’ve lost your house keys, a loved one or just your marbles, this is a space where Hannah Conda and her guests get humorously vulnerable. You may know the damsel from Down Under best from being the runner-up on RuPaul’s Drag Race UK vs the World... and landing in the same spot in RuPaul's Drag Race Down Under! But whatever the reason, kick back, listen and cackle along every Tuesday for new episodes.

It's a truly international episode of What's Loss Got To Do With It as Hannah Conda is joined by comedian, actor, podcast host (and former Britain's Next Top Model contestant!) Diona Doherty!

Diona is an Irish comic who has starred in everything from the BBC's Soft Border Patrol to Channel 4's hit comedy Derry Girls. She's was also a finalist in the BBC's New Comedy Award (2021) and is a panellist on the comedy game show The Blame Game.

Outside of her TV work, Diona is currently at Edinburgh Fringe with her sold-out show Get Your Pink Back, and she hosts the hit podcast The Girls Groupchat.

On this episode, Diona shares her experiences as a mother, balancing a career and family and how - much like a flamingo - she has been trying to get her pink back.

She also opens up about the impact of going on reality TV on her confidence and self-image and the importance of finding humour in dark times.

Don't miss Diona on The Girls Groupchat Podcast - new episodes every week, wherever you get your podcasts.
