Fiona Parry gives us her reaction to an inquest verdict of 'death by accidental drugs overdose' on her daughter Eloise, who died after taking diet pills she had bought online.

Eloise Parry died in April after taking diet pills she'd bought online. Today an inquest returned the verdict of an accidental drugs overdose. Eloise's mum Fiona spoke to Dan and Sarah about the dangers of buying drugs online.

Plus, Julian Clary speaks to Dan and Sarah about gay marriage, religion and his debut children's book 'The Bolds'.
