Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver on fame, rock-bottom and the perils of being opinionated women

Kelly-Anne Taylor is joined by the popstar-turned-actor Lily Allen and the TV presenter Miquita Oliver. They grew up in Ladbroke Grove, West London, in creative households, spending much of their youth roaming Portobello market and flunking school. Allen’s mother is the film producer, Alison Owen, and her father is the actor, Keith Allen. Oliver was raised by her mother, the broadcaster and chef, Andi Oliver. Both Oliver and Allen made their name at a young age – Oliver as a TV presenter on Channel 4’s music show Popworld and Allen for her debut-smash-hit Smile. In this episode they talk about the perils of fame, their new podcast called 'Miss Me?' and how they handle trolls. Plus, they reminisce about the hedonism of the 00s and reveal why they never listened to the advice imparted by their famous family members.   Show notes Miss Me? with Lily Allen and Miquita Oliver on BBC Sounds Learn more about your ad choices.
