About this episode

We love a couples interview on Happy Mum Happy Baby and this week is no exception as broadcaster Rick Edwards and actor & writer Emer Kenny join Gi in the studio. They chat about getting engaged after six weeks(!), plus Rick shares how he tried to make himself useful during Emer's 40+ hour labour. The couple also open up about navigating freelancing and family, with Emer explaining how she managed to juggle writing a tv show with having a baby. And you can check out Emer's incredible work for yourself - the second series of Karen Pirie returns to ITV1 and ITVX this Sunday 20th July!<hr> Hosted on Acast.
