The podcast where every celebrity split is the one that got away. Each week comedians Grainne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate take a deep dive into a celebrity breakup, chosen by a special guest, that still lingers in their hearts and minds. They might uncouple ‘amicably with love and respect for one another’ - but we never get over these lost loves! Join us every Friday for a new episode.

Light a pungent candle, get yourself comfortable perched on a jade egg, and prepare to consciously uncouple as The Way They Were dives into the iconic noughties love story of Gwyneth Paltrow & Chris Martin. Just remember, nobody said it was easy...

Hosts Gráinne Maguire and Chantal Feduchin-Pate welcome BBC Radio 1’s early-morning queen Alice Hopkins to explore this revolutionary pair. From the most iconic child name in celebrity history to the ultimate euphemism for a breakup, this duo rewrote the rulebook for celebrity couples.
