11. Tops Off, Tensing
Today, Charlotte’s teenage pal Antonio Simone is one of Cardiff’s top chefs, but she’ll always remember him as one of the boys she hung out with in Viccy Park.
When she wasn’t singing around the world, Charlotte spent her teenage years hanging out in Victoria Park, with a group of friends including Antonio Simone. Antonio is now one of Cardiff’s most respected chefs. Together they reminisce on their working class upbringings in Cardiff and how their lives have changed.
Charlotte Church hosts a series of intimate conversations about belonging, working class identity and the unbreakable bonds of family.
