Yrsa Daley-Ward is hiding under the covers with Abby Hollick to open up about growing up with her Jamaican, Seventh Day Adventist grandparents, why she’ll never forget peeling off their 80's bubbly wallpaper and feeling out of place at school in Lancashire. The model, writer and poet discusses her teenage depression and anxiety and reveals how Jeanette Winterson and Roald Dahl inspired to write the truth in her memoir 'The Terrible'. Yrsa shares her experiences as a model in South Africa compared to the draining castings in London where usually only one black model would book a job compared to many white models. She explains how she used Instagram to launch her poetry career and how social media brought her to the attention of Penguin. Stay in bed and join Yrsa and Abby as they talk about recovery, refusing to be shamed for having worked as an escort and her new move into acting.
