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!

From society weddings to headline making break-ups, Earl Charles Spencer's love life has generated almost as many column inches as the royal family itself.

This week, Chantal and Gráinne are joined by the hilarious Davina Bentley to untangle the many relationships of Princess Diana's younger brother, from his marriages to his recent split from Countess Karen Gordon.

From grand estates to front-page dramas, the trio explore how one of Britain's most famous families found itself back in the spotlight and ask why the romantic lives of the aristocracy continue to fascinate us.
