Join us in Essex with the fabulous television personality Olivia Bowen and her Frenchie, Winnie!

Olivia first shot to fame on the second series of ITV’s Love Island - where she met her now husband Alex. She and Alex have a lovely little boy called Abel, and they are currently expecting another little girl!

Olivia very kindly welcomed us into her beautiful home - and then we headed out onto the rolling hills just beyond her gate. We spoke about the restorative power of horse riding, how she was a socially aware child who predicted her parents’ divorce, and how she went from selling pens and living in government-owned housing to gaining millions of followers after appearing on one of the country’s most popular reality shows.

We’re in North London with our favourite showbiz couple - Katherine Ryan and Bobby Kootstra, with their dogs Manny and Cardi B.

We adore Katherine and Bobby here on Walking The Dog, and we were thrilled to take a walk with them to get to the heart of their relationship and their attitude towards family life. We find out if it’s possible to have TOO much self confidence, how Bobby was tricked into seeing a therapist and how attachment parenting has affected their relationship.

Today, we’re going on a walk with showbiz’s most fabulous couple… it’s Katherine Ryan and Bobby K!

We’re pretty much obsessed with Katherine and Bobby’s love story… which started when they were at high school together in their hometown of Sarnia, Ontario. Twenty years later, they reconnected in a very rom-com style when Katherine was filming Who Do You Think You Are.

We met Katherine and Bobby with their dogs Manny and Cardi B in North London - we discussed everything from the pressure boys feel when they experience the death of their fathers, how Katherine’s daughter Violet reacted to Bobby joining their family and the secret to their relationship success.
