Home life is messy, expensive, emotional, and rarely matches the version you scroll past on your feed. Home Truths is a proper chat about all of it. From living with your parents and dreaming of the leap, to mortgages, marriage, the quiet panic of milestones, and finding a local dog walking group you actually like.
Nav brings the lived experience of an ex-estate agent, renter, homeowner and landlord. Alex brings the view from the family home, working out when (and whether) to make the move. Between them, two generations of honest perspective on the stuff your group chat half-talks about and nobody posts.
Sit back, get comfy, and join us for the real Home Truths.

Bride Bingo! One proposal, one very stressed bride, one series finale - Home Truths S2 E6
Saison 2 · Épisode 6
jeudi 16 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:06:27
In the final episode of Home Truths Series 2, Nav throws Alex a bridal shower for one — prosecco, tiara, maid-of-honour-for-the-day energy — and interrogates her on everything wedding. The Croatia venue that flopped. The dress that'll take a year to make. The New York proposal she absolutely didn't see coming. And the football match Casey almost skipped a venue viewing for.
The whole crew's in on it too. They've built a bingo card of things Alex is guaranteed to say during the episode — and you can play along at home.
They get into:
– The New York proposal: Bethesda Fountain, Gossip Girl, and Elvis Presley showing up out of nowhere
– Wedding stress: venues, dresses, seating plans and 60-strong Indian family guest lists
– The Mr & Mrs quiz Nav ambushed her with (Casey's answers were on record)
– Genetic testing, SMA awareness, and why weddings suddenly feel very real
– Girl or boy? Toxic intrusive thoughts and Indian cultural expectations
– Alex's advice for anyone getting married — and for anyone going to a wedding
– Fad or Fab: the wedding trends worth your time and the ones to bin
Plus a Home Truth about the day Casey chose Liverpool over a Cotswolds venue viewing. True or false? Stick around for the reveal.

"What are you doing here?" Family matters on Home Truths - S2 Ep5
Saison 2 · Épisode 5
jeudi 2 juillet 2026 • Durée 01:17:56
In episode 5 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex thought they were recording a chat about family. What they got instead was two surprise visits, a lot of tears, and stories neither of them wanted told on the internet.
Alex's mum Jackie turned up. Nav's cousin Michael turned up. Nobody warned them.
They get into:
– The ASDA freezer moment that still makes Jackie cry laughing
– Nav's most embarrassing crush and Alex's Harry Styles moment
– Being raised by a strong, independent mum — and why Jackie wanted her girls to never need a man
– Jackie's cancer journey, and the one thing she was worried about the night she got diagnosed
– Losing a parent, residual trauma, and why the aftermath is worse than the event
– Middle-child syndrome (Alex is passionate about this one)
– Being the "different" cousin in an Indian family — and the childhood comment Nav still remembers
– The infamous Manchester Valentine's Day disaster involving a locked door, 30,000 steps in pyjamas, and £500 worth of contact lenses being drunk
Plus a Home Truth reveal involving a wheelchair, a flight of stairs, and Nav's sister doing it twice. And a special video message from Nav's uncle and auntie somewhere on a cruise ship.

Digital detox, doom scrolling, or a full social media ban? Home Truths, S3 Ep4
Saison 2 · Épisode 4
jeudi 18 juin 2026 • Durée 44:52
In episode 4 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex go offline, well, sort of. They're talking phone addiction, doom scrolling, and where the line should sit between personal habit and outright social media ban, all while painting portraits of each other in real time. (Spoiler: Nav got an F in GCSE art. It shows.)
They get into:
Nav's confession of a 2.5-hour doom scroll that ate her whole evening
Why "AA for phones" might genuinely be the next form of therapy
Kids, iPads and the under-16 social media ban - is it the right call?
The blurred line between work hours and home hours when your office is your sofa
Why couples are sitting in separate rooms with separate screens
The 70/30 rule, phone-free mornings, and the hour before bed And why filming a concert isn't the same as being at one
Plus a Home Truth involving Zanzibar, scrubs, and a fainting incident no one saw coming. Stick around for the verdict on who paints better (it's not Nav).

Going viral wasn't the plan: life online, unfiltered - S2 Ep3
jeudi 4 juin 2026 • Durée 01:01:33
Going viral was never the plan...
In episode 3 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex unpack the messy, accidental, sometimes wonderful reality of building a life online. Nav's leftover roast pie hit 4.5 million views overnight. Alex's spa day vlog took off while she had the notifications turned off. Neither of them set out to do this, and neither of them is willing to pretend it's all curated brand trips and free stuff.
They get into:
What it's actually like being recognised in public (and the awkward John Lewis moment)
Why Nav gets criticised for portion sizes and Alex still feels judged on Instagram
The Brooklyn Beckham family drama and what it says about privilege
The proposed under-16 social media ban (and why they're both for it)
Being a "comfort" for strangers vs. a target for trolls
The cost of cultural criticism when you come from a community that doesn't always have your back
Dream collabs (Gordon Ramsay's butter chicken is involved)
And the truth about what they really thought of each other when they first met
Plus a Home Truth involving a Ryanair flash mob in Liverpool One, and the return of 'The Neighbour Dispute Court' judging real disputes from parcel-collecting nightmares to recipe theft (Nav's mum is in the dock).

Millennials vs. the milestone myth - is 30 what you think it is? S2 Ep2
Saison 2 · Épisode 2
jeudi 21 mai 2026 • Durée 38:36
Your 30s aren't a deadline — they're a decade.
In episode 2 of Home Truths, Nav and Alex get into the pressure of hitting "milestones" by a certain age. Marriage, mortgage, kids, career and why so much of it is noise. Nav reflects on the back end of her 30s, the crossroads between corporate and creative, and the regret she didn't see coming. Alex talks about why she's still at home despite having the deposit, the maths nobody shows you on social media, and turning 30 without dread.
They also cover:
Why "failure" feels different when you grow up in an immigrant family
The generational gap on house buying (and why your parents' advice doesn't translate)
Cultural expectations vs. the new normal
Becoming more assertive in your late 30s
Why social media validation is a trap
The one piece of advice they'd give their 20s selves
Plus a round of Fad or Fab — self-care Sundays, capsule wardrobes, plant parenting, health tracker obsession, nostalgia consumption and more — and a Home Truth reveal involving a webbed toe and a possible cover-up.
