Description

After watching Alessia Russo and Vick Hope’s friendship blossom - and feeling a little left out in previous episodes - Ella Toone invites her old school friend, Sports Personality of the Year and 800m Olympic Gold Medallist Keely Hodgkinson, onto the pod as a hometown ally for this episode.

Keely spills the secrets behind her ‘Mini Ella’ nickname from their football days at Fred Longworth High School, reignites the age-old Wigan vs. Manchester debate, and even shares her top tips on avoiding stitches while training.

Plus, she takes us behind the scenes of her pre-race rituals ahead of the World Championships - think Rihanna soundtracks, game-day outfit choices, and the mindset that keeps her at the top of her game.
