But if you give me a newborn baby that has to be fed at a certain time, I really struggled with that. It’s easy to book comedians – they’ll do anything for the right fee – but the athletes felt like a vote of confidence. Guests include footballers such as Iain Dowie, Darren Huckerby, Pat Nevin and Matthew Le Tissier as well as comedians such as Elis James, Tom Parry, Ivo Graham and Matt Forde.

We had chapters from Rob and Josh in a conversational style, from their wives Lou and Rose, their parents and even their producer Michael! Blijkt dat de herkenbaarheid, de humor, relativeren en lachen met je vroegere zelf omdat we ook “die ouders” geweest zijn een perfecte manier is om zomervakantiedagen af te sluiten. It's the same with The Last Leg [the Channel 4 series he co-presents with Adam Hills and Alex Brooker]. I love the idea of having three children who are 10, seven and four, but I don't love the idea of having three children who are seven, four and one.As someone who grew up watching the same television and loving it, I like to think I got lots of the very niche references. Using a different television show of the time as its starting point for each chapter Watching Neighbours Twice a Day… is part-childhood memoir, part-comic history of 90s television and culture. I do think people listen to try to piece together how their parents parented them, or how they would parent. He is perhaps best known for co-presenting the satirical news show The Last Leg and for his appearances on Mock the Week.

The couple lived for a considerable amount of time in Shoreditch, East London before moving to a "sleepier" area of East London to raise their children.But these guys talk about coming home from a job tired only to have an excited toddler jumping around all evening in such a relatable way.

We book celebrities for personal appearances, headline musicians, stand up comedians and other entertainment. Now we have been given a book deal it is probably the time for me to admit to myself that complaining for an hour a week to Rob about my life has become the most successful thing I have done in 14 years in comedy.

Lots of funny anecdotes about parenting and it was nice to hear from Lou and Rose too and see the other side of the parenting from Rob and Josh. The book Parenting Hell sees Rob and I share the challenges and madness of our parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Josh Widdecombe seems like a thoroughly decent bloke and all-round ‘good egg’, so I feel slightly sheepish having to slate his book.I loved reading the references to things I had entirely forgotten about (You Bet, the theme tune to Big Break, the Martins in Neighbours). They began their hit podcast in lockdown – it was initially known as Lockdown Parenting Hell – with the pair discussing the trials and tribulations of caring for kids during the pandemic. Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs.
