Meet Konnie Huq
“It’s been so fun reuniting with Simon on this content series which has such an important message. Parents play such an influential role in their children’s decision making and I’m keen to play a part in supporting my own kids in helping to navigate their future education and career options, whatever they might be.
“A great way to bridge these important conversation topics is by doing an activity together, like preparing a meal. So, I thought this would be the perfect thing to demonstrate in the content with Talking Futures – as it’s something I also did a lot on Blue Peter!”

Meet Simon Thomas
“Having a fourteen-year-old myself, I fully understand the struggles in engaging teens in conversations around their futures. So, I was delighted to team up with both Talking Futures and my old mate Konnie, reliving some of our old tasks from the show back in the day!
“I think it’s important for parents to get into the habit of having career conversations regularly and it’s something that I broach with my son fairly often. Time flies and it’s good to know what your kids are thinking early on. You don’t necessarily have to define a certain pathway but explore the various possibilities so that they know what’s out there.”
