From Rock Bottom to Hollywood: Ted Lasso’s Keeley Hazell on Toxic Relationships, Page 3’s Dark Side, and Finding Her True Identity

This week, I’m joined by Keeley Hazell – model, actress, and writer – whose early fame as one of the UK’s most recognisable glamour models was just the beginning of her story. We talk openly about the violence she has experienced, her exposure to drugs at a young age, and the ways the patriarchy has shaped her career and life. Keeley shares what it waslike to survive abusive partners, the emotional fallout, and the long process of rebuilding her sense of self. We also reflect on wild nights out with footballers – and the darker realities they sometimes hid. Here, Keeley speaks candidly about her decision to move to Los Angeles, challenging herself to reinvent as an actress and pursue a new creative path on her own terms. What emerges is a portrait of Keeley that is raw, reflective, funny, and completely unfiltered – a story about resilience, survival, and reclaiming identity.BOOKS DISCUSSED IN THIS EPISODEKeeley’s Memoir, Everyone’s Seen My Tits, is available in all good bookshops from 26th August 2025. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOUGot something to share?
