BBC Radio 4 - Woman's Hour, Katy B; Why we cheat on our partners; Growing up in care

Katy B talks about her new album and performs live. Presented by Jane Garvey.

Katy B talks about her new album and performs live. How you tell if your partner is going to cheat. Plus a woman who describes herself as a 'care leaver in recovery'.

Katy B's back with a brand new album Little Red - the long awaited follow up to her hugely popular debut On a Mission. She talks to Jane Garvey about "growing up" her career so far and performs "Crying For No Reason" from the album live in the Woman's Hour Studio.

It's estimated that more than a 100,000 women served as nurses in WW1, often on the Front Line. One, Elsie Knocker, was a British nurse who joined the Belgian army, setting up an advance first aid post in the cellar of a house close to the fighting. Later known as Baroness de T'Serclaes, she described her war work when talking to Woman's Hour in 1964 . Plus we look at the trauma nurses experienced as a result of serving at the front.

Over 30 years ago, aged just 9 Jenny Molloy walked into a London Police Station with her younger brothers and asked to be taken into care. Referring to herself as a 'care leaver in recovery' Jenny, now a grandmother, talks about growing up in children's homes but still visiting her alcoholic parents and the impact that's had on her as an adult. And we explore the importance, or not, of keeping links with your birth family.

Plus Why Men REALLY Cheat: The Psychological Secrets of Male Infidelity. Is your man a "Chameleon" or a "Manipulator". By identifying which category your partner fits is it possible to understand why they're cheating or even perhaps to avoid getting involved with them in the first place. Is it possible pre-empt an affair? Does the same mixture of psychological and environmental factors encourage women to cheat too?

Presented by Jane Garvey.
Edited and Produced by Beverley Purcell.

Intelligent speech, the most insightful journalism, the wittiest comedy, the most fascinating features and the most compelling drama and readings anywhere in UK radio.
