Rob Beckett launches a parenting podcast

Rob Beckett has created a new podcast series called ‘Lockdown Parenting Hell’.
The 34-year-old comedian – who has two daughters with his wife Louise Watts – has created a new parenting podcast with his showbiz pal Josh Widdicombe amid the coronavirus lockdown.
Announcing the news on his Instagram Stories, Rob said: "Hello people, I’ve got some exciting news. Me and Josh Widdicombe have recorded a new podcast series called ‘Lockdown Parenting Hell’ and it’s all about parenting in lockdown."
The first episode features special guest Katherine Ryan – who has 10-year-old Violet with an ex-partner – as she discusses how she’s coping during the coronavirus outbreak.
He continued: "We talk to famous faces, we’ve got Katherine Ryan, that’s available today. John Richardson on Friday, we’ve also spoke to Alex Horne, Lucy Beaumont, loads of people are coming and loads more to record.
"It’s quality, it’s really funny but basically, as you all know, my kids are feral. They’ve taken over my house, they’ve taken over the asylum. All bets are off – there was s**t on my floor the other day.
"Anyway, it’s me trying to talk to other people to find out that hopefully I’m not the only one whose parenting skills are s**t."
The comedy star also shared a picture of the podcast cover on his Instagram.
The caption reads: "BRAND NEW PODCAST So if you have been following my insta stories you will be aware that my children are bullying me and pushing me towards a breakdown. So to hopefully find out that I’m not alone and everyone is struggling.
"I’ve recorded a podcast series with @josh_widdicombe chatting all things parenting in a lockdown.
"We speak to famous faces to talk about their experiences of being a parent in Lockdown. The @kathbum episode is available now and @jonrichardsoncomedian is coming on Friday. Basically listen to this and it will make you feel better about your feral children. Link in bio (sic)"
