They Don't Teach This At School with Myleene Klass

Amir Khan is a former professional boxer and two-time world champion. As a young boy, he was the naughty one - so his dad took him to boxing class at 8-years-old, to try keep him out of trouble. But by the time Amir was 17, he had become Britain’s youngest ever boxing Olympic medalist. Now I know a completely different side to Amir than a former world champion. I spent three weeks with him in the jungle and it was brilliant to be reunited with him. In this episode we talk about how his children changed him and how he's dealt with family fallouts. His book new book Fight For Your Life is out now.This episode contains offensive language.

Welcome to my new podcast They Don’t Teach This At School, each week I’ll be speaking to some brilliant guests to share their tips on how they and their families survive life’s challenges. My first guest is an exclusive interview with my friend, Amanda Holden. You’ll know her as an actress, singer and presenter. She hosts Heart Breakfast with Jamie Theakston and she's a judge on Britain’s Got Talent. She’s had an incredible career in showbiz and has juggled it all on top of being a mother to two girls. Amanda is an incredible friend and I turned to her when I created my own blended family, and she taught me how it can be the most wonderful gift.

I am so excited to launch my new podcast They Don’t Teach This At School. Be honest - how many times have you said that? How many times have you felt so under-equipped for what life has thrown your way? In school we learned about Pythagoras, but then we went out into the adult world and we were expected to know how to budget for a household, set up a bank account or know what to do when the boiler broke. There was so much I wish we were taught. So that’s how my book and this podcast was born. I’ll be speaking to some brilliant guests to share their tips on how they and their families survive life’s challenges.
