  • Episode 2 - Kelli-Leigh
    Apr 29 2026

    Singer, songwriter, and vocalist Kelli-Leigh — the voice behind over a billion streams, two Grammy nominations, and debut album Legacy — sits down with Scott & Jamie to share the three stories that shaped who she became.

    Her choices: Taylor Jenkins Reid's The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, Pam Grout's Thank and Grow Rich, and Jenna Zoe's Human Design. Together they trace a journey from a working-class childhood in South London to the uncredited vocals on some of dance music's biggest records — and the fight to step into the spotlight on her own terms.

  • Episode 1 - David Ames
    Apr 22 2026

    Actor David Ames — known for Holby City, Hollyoaks & Changing Ends — is the very first guest on Once Upon a Time. David sits down with Scott & Jamie to share the three stories that shaped who he became — spanning ancient mythology, parallel universes, and a play he read at university before he was ready to understand what it really meant.

    His choices: Madeline Miller's The Song of Achilles, Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials, and Tony Kushner's Angels in America. Together they trace a journey from his rural childhood in Hampshire to one of the BBC's flagship dramas — and the personal journey that rang quietly beside it.
