• ABSOLUTE-ly Kill-manjaro-ing it! : Maxine Lacey
    Oct 2 2025

    In an incredibly special SPLIT ENDS LIVE episode, Andrew and Olga speak to Absolute Collagen CEO Maxine Laceby about her hair story, as she tackles '60 things before 60'.

    Filmed at a LIVE event with a LIVE audience, launching Andrew's ambitious climb of Kilimanjaro for Kidscape's 40th birthday next year, Maxine shares her own dramatic story; how she did indeed summit, but also had to then be "helicoptered off the mountain" after falling on the way down.

    Nevertheless Maxine is back up again and still insists, "My shorts, backpack and outdoors, that's my happy place." And, joking it was the collagen that kept her strong, she encourages others too to take up the challenge "You know what, it was glorious!"

    And it's a glorious conversation too - enjoy!

  • Ateh Jewel: Coffee and kicks…"and you can keep Derek to yourself!"
    Aug 1 2025

    Join us for some serious big queen energy and a very special conversation in the Split Ends salon chair, with the force of beauty and nature that is business entrepreneur and presenter Ateh Jewel.

    In the naughtiest and most EX- rated episode of Split Ends so far, Andrew and Olga are treated to a behind the scenes tour of divorce and friendship, where Ateh reveals her two essential items when navigating ‘the Big D’ …and shares how she’s experienced “two types of friend -those who express concern and this who turn up on your doorstep with a vibrator!”

    Big Queen Energy, Misogynoir and being Mum

    Straight-talking and wildly witty, this romp of a Split Ends episode explores the intersection of misogyny and racism, being mum to two girls and making a life-changing move to the Cotswolds.

    Growing up with ‘big queen energy….’ Ateh shares her ‘hairstory’ , and her own smell-o-vision memories of her mum:

    “You could smell her perfume 3 YEARS before she entered the room”


    “Blush is my spiritual product” “it’s you..but with the volume turned up”

    An ambassador for Diabetes UK, Ateh shares her beauty secrets and newly-launched beauty range, as well as opening up about her dramatic weight loss journey and how, “When you have issues with food you don’t have an eating problem you have a feeling problem.”


    So grab a coffee, tune in, turn the volume up and get ready for some seriously good vibrations…..

    Going Far with CPR and using her platform to save lives, Milla shares her journey from city-living to Cornish coastline with Andrew and Olga and stresses how basic training in CPR can make a 'Miss World' of difference.

  • Riona O' Connor: Festive Falalalas, Split Ends: The Musical ..."And now I love my fricking hair!"
    Dec 19 2024

    In a beautifully warm festive wellbeing special, Riona O'Connor shares how her 80's- inspired Christmas tree made her weep for the nostalgia, talks candidly about her journey with ADHD and the part she plays in 'The Nightmare Before Christmas In Wonderland' alongside Emilia Clarke and Gerard Butler.

    Opening up about her brother’s challenges with addiction and how it impacted her from an early age, the comedian, voiceover artist and musicals songstress Riona O'Connor sharing reflects on her very honest, real and ridiculous brand of humour.

    A prolific creator, Riona chats to Andrew and Olga about living with depression and ADHD and how sleep is the only real remedy she’s ever found.

    A real festive treat! And make sure you watch/listen to the end as she sings us out with Split Ends: The Musical!



    NOTE:
    Contains some strong language.
    Riona’s live musical comedy shows have been a sell-out hit and she will be embarking on her first Live Nation Tour -alongside our very own Olga Thompson - in 2025.
