Trinny Woodall became a household name in the 00s on our television screens. Loneliness, grief and addiction juxtaposed by an incredible fearlessness and strength, she is now a beauty founder, with her products from Trinny London all over the internet.
From TV star to CEO, Trinny and Jamie have plenty to talk about, from building a brand to enormous television success, Trinny’s path has not been straightforward; starting on the trading floor, she hit rock bottom at 26 with an addiction to dr!gs. Navigating the loneliness that comes with recovery and a complicated bereavement of her ex-husband, Trinny is a beacon of strength and success.
