A SUNNY OUTLOOK

AUTHOR AND PODCASTER GIOVANNA FLETCHER ON HER NEW REGATTA CAMPAIGN AND WHY SHE FINDS THE GREAT OUTDOORS SO UPLIFTING

- LAUREN GOODWIN-GRAFTON

As a best-selling author, podcaster, presenter, patron for breast cancer charity CoppaFeel!, actress and mum to three boys, Giovanna Fletcher is certainly a woman with a jam-packed diary. Luckily for us, the winner of 2020's I'm A Celebrity... Get Me Out Of Here! has found time in her schedule to talk about her latest projects - following a very special new royal appointment.

Giovanna famously struck up a bond with the Princess of Wales when Kate was a guest on the Happy Mum, Happy Baby podcast back in 2020. Kate is returning the love by enlisting Giovanna for her Shaping Us project.

Giovanna, 38, explains that's not the only thing keeping her busy. She's fronting a second collaboration with outdoor apparel brand Regatta, which launches tomorrow and is themed around a good old British staycation.

Here, she tells us why the great outdoors is a happy place for her, McFly star husband Tom, 37, and their sons Buzz, nine, Buddy, seven, and Max, four, and reveals how she manages all the different strands of her career...

You’ve got a new Regatta campaign themed around the Great British seaside. Tell us more... 
The collection is perfect for UK staycations because, as we all know with our weather, you never know what you’re going to get. Being able to just grab a coat and go is what we need, essentially. So it was basically about celebrating the British staycation and the British outdoors. I personally love a staycation.
