Georgina Baillie found herself thrown into the centre of a media storm by Russel Brand & Jonathan Ross so explosive it forced the BBC to change its broadcasting rules forever. But she is not a scandal—she’s a fighter & a woman who refused to be defined by a moment she never chose. The horrific media onslaught that followed sent Georgina spiralling into a world of addiction to drugs, alcohol & sex.

Born into the limelight as the granddaughter of legendary actor Andrew Sachs, Georgina has carved her own rebellious path in the entertainment world. From setting stages ablaze as the enigmatic ‘Voluptua’ in the gothic burlesque scene to rocking out as the lead vocalist of Georgie Girl, touring alongside the iconic Adam Ant.

This is not just a story about multiple addictions—it's about the brutal cost of public shame, the pain of being misunderstood, and the strength it takes to start again when the world has already made up its mind about you.

Georgina is highly engaging, witty and razor-sharp. She shares the hard truths with grace and humour, offering a rare glimpse behind the headlines. Whether you’ve been through your own rock bottom, or you're just curious about what it really takes to survive one, this conversation will stay with you. 5 years clean and sober she is a real recovery inspiration.

Disclaimer: This episode was recorded well before any recent public developments. The conversation centres on Georgina Baillie’s personal experience and recovery journey, and any references to past events reflect her own lived perspective at the time.
