Episode Details

From singing about girls in Blue to being outnumbered by them at home! This week, Cara and Nathan welcome Antony Costa to the studio — dad to Savannah and Paloma, partner to Rosanna, and now completely outvoted at home by daughters, a wife, and even the family cats. Ant opens up about man-cave surrender, the different flavour of chaos that comes with raising two girls, and the guilt and compromises of trying to give his kids everything while balancing life on tour. 

The gang also hashes out a thorny one in The Courtroom — a listener doesn't want her sister-in-law babysitting the kids, but is she protecting her family or just holding a grudge? — plus the usual outrageous listener confessions. 

Synopsis: Not In Front Of The Kids 

Not In Front Of The Kids is a brutally honest, unhinged, and hilarious podcast that abandons the illusion of perfect parenting. Launched on July 2, 2026, on FUBAR Radio, the show dives headfirst into the loud, sticky, and exhausting reality of raising a family. 

The Hosts 

The podcast is hosted by Nathan Massey and Cara De La Hoyde-Massey, who famously met and won series two of Love Island in 2016. Now married with two children and a dog with ADHD, the couple has traded the glitz of reality TV for the trenches of parenthood. They use the show as a space to vent, bicker, and share the genuine chaos of their household without any Instagram filters. 

What to Expect 

Not In Front Of The Kids covers all the daily disasters, arguments, and questionable decisions that the parenting manuals leave out. Listeners can expect: 

• Unfiltered Realities: Candid discussions on everything from the mental load of being the "default parent" to bedtime negotiations, fussy eaters, and the financial drain of family holidays. 

• The Courtroom: A staple segment where Cara and Nathan tackle major parenting debates — such as strict versus soft parenting, or whether having a pet is the same as having a child — and cast their judgments. 

• Celebrity Guests: Deep dives with guests who share their own unfiltered stories about relationships, family planning, and the struggles of raising kids. 

• Listener Confessions: The hosts frequently involve their audience, finding humor in listener stories about the ridiculous things kids do and the moments of pure madness every parent secretly understands. 

Where to Listen 

New episodes of Not In Front Of The Kids drop every Thursday at 2:00 PM on fubarradio.com and across all major podcast platforms. 

Antony Costa 

Antony Daniel Costa was born on June 23, 1981, in Edgware, Middlesex, and grew up half-Greek Cypriot, half-Jewish, spending part of his childhood in Cyprus and attending the American Academy of Larnaca before returning to England and settling at Hendon School in Barnet, where he first found his footing in drama. Early roles followed on British TV, including a stint on the BBC children's drama Grange Hill. 

In 2000, Costa teamed up with friend Duncan James, and together they recruited Lee Ryan and Simon Webbe to form Blue. The group's R&B-tinged pop sound made them one of the biggest UK acts of the era, with their debut single "All Rise" reaching number 4 on the UK charts and further hits — including the number 1 "Too Close" — cementing their status as pop icons. Blue went on to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest in 2011. 

Beyond the band, Costa pursued a solo career, released a solo single and debut album in 2006, and built a strong presence in musical theatre, taking on the role of Mickey Johnstone in Blood Brothers and touring in Boogie Nights. He's also
