E62: Ali Bromley & Lily Benson

In this episode, Ben is joined by two unforgettable voices from Big Brother UK 2024: show winner and forensic psychologist Ali Bromley, and her fellow housemate Lily Benson.Both Ali and Lily live with ADHD, but the way the public saw them couldn’t have been more different.

In this chat with Ben, Lily reveals why she chose to hide her diagnosis from the Big Brother team. Ali opens up about the not-so-subtle ways she witnessed Lily being misunderstood and othered, and why some of the reactions inside the house still haunt her.

Together, they confront the uncomfortable truths about how neurodivergence is perceived by the wider public, especially when it doesn’t fit expectations. They unpack the emotional toll of being made to feel “different” or “odd”, and the quiet strength that comes from finding an ally when the world feels stacked against you
