In this powerful bonus episode of Leaders in Disguise, we return to a moment we couldn’t leave on the cutting room floor.

Keira Smith, our previous guest, stayed on the sofa after we finished recording - and what unfolded became one of the rawest parts of our conversation.

It was my first interview since Channel 4’s Love My Face aired on 17 April 2025, where I shared my story of facial difference for the first time publicly. Keira opened up too - revealing something she’s never spoken about on air. A hidden challenge she’s lived with since childhood.

Together, we talk about the weight of being visible, the stories we hide, and what it really means to live unmasked.

TW: This episode contains references to visible and invisible difference, trauma, and vulnerability.
