Samantha Womack, actress and singer, tells Zoe about her touring production of The Addams Family musical. Samantha and her co-star Cameron Blakely will revive their much loved roles as Morticia and Gomez Addams, based on the characters created by Charles Addams in the musical comedy show which goes on tour from August. Samantha first played Morticia in 2017 when it premiered at Edinburgh Festival Theatre, alongside Carrie Hope Fletcher and Les Dennis. Samantha has also starred in ‘Game On’ and ‘Pie In The Sky’ from 1995 to 1996. She also starred in ‘Babes in the Wood’ in 1998. She most notably played Ronnie Mitchell in EastEnders from 2007-2011 and then again from 2013-2017.

Manoj Malde, the award winning garden designer, chats to Zoe about creating a bee friendly garden. Manoj is on the judging panel for Radio 2's Big Bee Challenge competition. He's also one of the designers in hit BBC Two show 'Your Garden Made Perfect' with Angela Scanlon. As a graduate of the Master’s programme in fashion design at the Royal College of Art, Manoj’s career has taken him to Italy, Germany, New York, Hong Kong and India. He worked in the fashion industry for 18 years, latterly as creative director. Manoj then studied garden design at the English Gardening School and uses much of his fashion experience within his present career as a landscape designer.
