Louie Spence is a showbiz icon. For thirty years he was a professional dancer, performing on the West End and touring with the Spice Girls and Take That. But it was his starring role on Sky 1’s Pineapple Studios that made him a celebrity.&nbsp;I’ve met Louie a couple of times before now and he genuinely lights up every room he’s in. But beneath his larger-than-life character is a different, quieter person who has struggled with anxiety and depression for as long as he can remember.&nbsp;We cover:&nbsp;<ul><li>His lifelong struggle with anxiety and depression&nbsp;</li><li>His mum Pat’s secret battle with alcoholism</li><li>Finding his people at Italia Conti stage school</li><li>Growing up as gay during the Aids epidemic</li><li>His decision not to become a parent&nbsp;</li></ul>I came away from our conversation knowing more about who the real Louie Spence is - and I think he is far more entertaining and interesting than he could possibly ever know.&nbsp;If you’ve been affected by anything mentioned in today’s podcast, here are some links:<ul><li>samaritans.org </li><li>mind.org.uk</li></ul>If you enjoyed the show, you can also follow us:Instagram - www.instagram.com/greatcompanypodcastTikTok - www.tiktok.com/@greatcompanypodcastAnd if you've got thoughts, questions and comments, you can email us at greatcompany@jampotproductions.co.uk--THE CREDITSProducer: Helen BurkeVideo: Jake JiSocial Media: Laura Coughlan & Anthony BarterExec Producer: Jemima RathboneGreat Company is an original podcast from JamPot<hr> Hosted on Acast.
