Episode Inside Debbie Bright’s Life as a Foster Carer

0:00 1:05:43

In this episode, Giovanna sits down with Debbie Bright for an eye-opening conversation about what it’s really like to be a foster carer.

Best known to many from TOWIE, Debbie is also one of the UK’s longest-serving foster carers, having cared for over 200 children across 35 years.

Gi and Debbie talk about why children enter care, the importance of showing compassion rather than judgment toward birth parents, and the emotional reality of saying goodbye when children move on.

Debbie also opens up about her own turbulent childhood, and offers heartfelt advice to anyone considering fostering.
