Running Loose with Francesca Cumani & Vanessa Ryle16 Jun 2025

Royal Ascot outfit panics, life dilemmas and botox debate

An Ollywood TV production brought to you by Edinburgh Gin.

It’s series 2, episode 3 of the Running Loose podcast. Francesca and Vanessa are here once again, nestled inside a suite at the Royal Windsor Racecourse.

With G&Ts in tow, the ladies give us an update on their Royal Ascot fashion dilemmas - including Francesca’s detailed outfit planning. She also offers us insight into her ITV Racing schedule, including the lowdown on the Royal Procession.

Meanwhile, Vanessa reveals her own plans and why she always leaves fashion decisions to the last minute. Is she any closer to making decisions - and has her Millener been brought up to speed yet?

Vanessa also reveals why she’s having a mid-thirties crisis - with Francesca offering her encouragement and words of wisdom for her co-host! But which of the ladies has tried Botox? And who has is obsessed with pruning their rose bush?

There are plenty of rabbit holes once more, thanks to some intriguing listener questions, like who talks and sings to their horse? Other note (see what we did there), which of the ladies was asked to mime in a school choir? All this and more on this week’s episode!

Tune in, hold tight, and enjoy the ride.
