Welcome to Offcuts where we chat about whatever piqued our interest this week in a light, fun little package to send you off on your weekend! We chat: Punch’s $16 IKEA toy selling for wild amount The most revolting hotel 'hack' circulating The lesser known 'looks minimising" Eric Dane secretly recorded his 'last words'

Today’s guest is someone many of us grew up watching even if we didn’t realise it. David Holmes was a stunt double in the Harry Potter films, mostly for Harry but he also doubled for quite a few other characters and contributed to one of the most iconic movie franchises of our generation. But during filming, an accident left David paralysed from the chest down at just 25 years old. His memoir The Boy Who Lived and his documentary of the same name tell the story of that accident, but more importantly, what happened after. In the book and the doco, David shares how his friendships are what kept him alive, how his identity has shifted since the accident and the complicated reality of rebuilding a life when everything changes in a second. In today’s chat we speak about: Losing sensation but finding the best s3x he’s ever experienced A particularly beautiful love story - David and his partner (who also has a spinal cord injury) falling in love and ‘heeling’ a lot of themselves together What it was like being a stunt performer for 7 Harry Potter films BTS of Harry Potter and his close friendship with Daniel Radcliffe David’s accident that happened on set Fighting for 3 years for proper compensation Blame after an accident like this David’s advocacy for disabled people The friendships he has maintained The future of the creative world like stunting with AI “If Someone Offered Me A Magic Pill To Get My Legs Back, I’d Be Reluctant To Take It” You can get a copy of David’s Book You can find him on Instagram 

Hey lifers There’s no ‘big news’ in this episode despite dangling that carrot in the past… Britt has sent some accidental pictures and Laura’s got a story about her fridge that will have you on the edge of your seat! We catch up on MAFS and whether the public ‘punishment’ fits the crime or if the outrage tips the scale. We speak about the really controversial participant and how ‘red pill/black pill’ language has entered the chat. Confessionals are back! Some are light and easily forgiven, others are… diabolical! Do you tell your partner everything? What about secrets that friends have asked you to keep to yourself? There’s an article in Vogue UK called “Please, Stop Telling Your Partner My Secrets”. When you tell your friend something vulnerable are you actually telling the couple? Because somewhere along the way, we decided that when you’re in a relationship, your partner gets access to everything. Every conversation. Every secret. Every piece of emotional processing. But is that fair? We unpack.
