Carrie Hope Fletcher is an author, singer, West End star – and now a new mum. She’s about to start a brand new tour around the UK, called Love Letters, which will feature musical theatre favourites and love letters from the audience. She joins Clare McDonnell to talk about the tour, what it’s like being a musical theatre Mum and gives a live performance in the studio.National treasure Sandi Toksvig talks to Clare about her first adult novel in 12 years. When Stevie and Amber move into their new home, they are surprised to find that the old woman they bought it from, a cantankerous and outrageous 79-year-old called Dorothy, is still living there. Friends of Dorothy is a joyful and uplifting celebration of LGBTQ+ relationships and chosen family. This month marks the halfway point – or 20th anniversary – of the Breast Cancer Now Generations Study. As one of the world’s largest and longest-running studies into the causes of breast cancer, it looks at the causes of breast cancer by following 110,000 women from the UK over 40 years. As a result, scientists are developing breast cancer risk tools that will help to identify women at high risk, even if they do not have a family history of the disease. Clare is joined by co-leader of the study Professor Amy Berrington and Amanda Jones who is a participant.Presenter: Clare McDonnell
