Erin Richards: "He asked my body - it replied 'seaweed'"

Checkout Confessions

Available for over a year

Actor and director Erin Richards joins Matt Tebbutt as he rummages through her shopping basket, which is equal parts wellness warrior and chaos. From Frubes, to hand-stitched chocolate bar wrappers, to a terribly neglected kohlrabi. The Penarth-born star of Gotham and I Will Find You talks life after a decade in New York, the 25-ingredient smoothie she drinks every morning, and the five chocolate bars she used to eat on the bus to school every day. She also opens up about her American therapist, adjusting to life with two little ones, and how her American husband is settling in on this side of the pond. Matt discovers campfire mayo, Erin demonstrates how to dismantle a Boost bar, and nobody knows what to do with the veg box.
