Summary

You might not think that having your boobs removed and your ovaries taken out are the funniest subjects for a podcast - but this episode will prove you wrong! Our guest is Alice Evans, who explains how her family history of breast cancer led her to have a double mastectomy. She also reveals what it's like to go through the menopause at a young age, and why she doesn't let her husband call her his wife. Honestly, it's more LOLs than it sounds. Alice reveals that she's basically an X-Man, and she and Helen discover they share the same party trick. Ellie squeezes another woman's breasts for the first time ever on the podcast. Also ever. There's some graphic but surprisingly hilarious chat about what Alice has been through, and she offers her advice for anyone in the same situation - including her top tips for surviving menopause.We round off with some exclusive Scummy Mummies "On Tour" Confessions, direct from the Hay Festival.
