  • Dating on national TV: Baraka Meena and I Kissed A Boy

    Dating on national TV: Baraka Meena and I Kissed A Boy
    Oct 31 2025
    On the latest ITV Pridecast, Liam is joined by Baraka Meena, one of the contestants on this year’s series of I Kissed a Boy. The BBC Three dating show which is presented by Danni Minogue first hit our screens in 2023 giving a group of singletons the chance to find love in the setting of an Italian masseria.

    Baraka was unfortunately unable to find love in the masseria but he says he was really proud to be part of the experience. The 24-year-old whose family are from Tanzania only came out four years ago and he says his time on the show really helped build his confidence. Despite not finding a partner he says he was able to build strong connections with the other boys and learn so much more about himself.

    During this episode of the Pridecast, Baraka talks about some of the poignant moments he had whilst in the masseria including Lars talking about coming out as a trans man as well as Adam discussing his HIV diagnosis. He says he took a lot from conversations with Reuben and Jas about intersectionality and navigating being a gay man with African heritage. He says he’s now using the platform from the show to raise issues around identity and race.

    This ITV Pridecast has been recorded in conjunction with the ITV Embrace network as a marker for Black History Month which takes place each October.

  • What It Feels Like For A Girl (with the cast of the BBC hit show)

    What It Feels Like For A Girl (with the cast of the BBC hit show)
    Jul 11 2025
    * A warning this episode includes the use of swear words from the outset

    On the latest ITV Pridecast, Katie Garwood hosts the episode where she interviews some of the cast from the new BBC hit programme, What It Feels Like for a Girl. During the podcast, Katie speaks to Ellis Howard, Laquarn Lewis and Hannah Jones about starring in the show. The ‘coming of age’ drama has been inspired by the memoir of the same name by the award winning writer and journalist Paris Lees.

    The series has been produced by Hera Pictures in association with ITV Studios. It centres on 15 year-old Byron (Ellis Howard), who’s from a small town just outside of Nottingham. The show tracks their escape to the big city and exploring Nottingham’s underworld in the UK's early 00s club scene. Life explodes for Byron when they discover drink and drugs and are adopted by Lady Die (Laquarn Lewis) into her family of troublemakers, known as “The Fallen Divas”.

    They beg, steal and skank their way on a rollercoaster ride of hedonism. But the party can't last forever, and when Byron is seduced by Liam, a shocking encounter occurs that will change life forever.

    What It Feels Like For A Girl is a raw, heartbreaking and hilarious drama which explores escape, self-discovery and self-destruction. It delves into everything from drug abuse to underage sex work, abusive parents, transphobia and homophia. All eight episodes are now available to watch on BBC iPlayer.

  • Proud (with Nicola Hendy)

    Proud (with Nicola Hendy)
    Jun 17 2025
    Feeling proud to be LGBTQ+ can sometimes come with many layers and complexities. For a community of people who are still discriminated against just for their very existence, it can be hard to sometimes ignite that sense of pride in one's self. However, the coming together of that community in one large group can stoke a sense of pride in place of the adversity put upon them by wider society.

    That is of course, the basis of all Pride marches that we see across the globe - to allow LGBTQ+ people to come together in their shared experience and remind decisionmakers as well as the wider public of the pursuit for equality and inclusion. That was the aim of those who organised Wales’ first ever Pride march in 1985. 40 years ago a small group of students came together in Cardiff to take a stand against the hostility that existed towards the community and show their sense of pride in one another.

    Now four decades on ITV Cymru Wales has produced an hour long documentary called Proud which looks back at that historic day. In what is a beautifully produced programme, that can make you laugh and cry at the same time, it shares the stories of the LGBTQ+ people who have lived through that time and the trials and tribulations they’ve faced along the way.

    On the latest ITV Pridecast, Liam chats with Nicola Hendy who is bringing Proud to our screens. Nicky, who is a Producer and Director at ITV Cymru Wales, tells the story of how Proud came about and some of the inspiring people she has interviewed who make up the programme. She also shares the importance of remembering those LGBTQ+ people who have fought for our liberties and how those rights are being tested today more than ever.

    Joining Liam to co-host this episode is Carl Edwards, a journalist and presenter for ITV Wales. As well as his day job, Carl works hard to champion and promote diversity and inclusion within ITV and seeks to provide greater opportunities for people of all backgrounds to get into the media.

    • Proud is available to watch on both ITV1 Wales and ITVX from 9pm on 17th June.
