On this week's episode, we're joined by Wendi Peters - Corrie legend, current star of the touring theatre production Glorious, and living proof that the best stuff doesn't always arrive on schedule.


Wendi talks finding love again after 33 years of marriage (via a wine-fuelled evening and a very niche dating app), why being told to lose weight at 16 by a headmistress eating chocolate digestives only made her more determined, and how approaching 60 as a leap year baby (she's technically 14 and a half) feels like the start of something rather than the end of it. Whether you've sworn off love for good or you're secretly wondering if there's one more chapter left, this one's warm, funny, and exactly the reminder you didn't know you needed. Get in touch with your thoughts at podcast@htb60.com.


Wendi is currently starring in the 20th anniversary UK tour of Glorious!, playing Florence Foster Jenkins - the American socialite dubbed the worst singer in the world. The tour runs until June 2026. Dates and tickets at gloriousplay.com.
