Why Not Now! Podcast | S1E2 with Vick from @VickandAl: Going Viral, Family Chaos, Autism & Life Behind TikTok

This week on Why Not Now!, Emma Elston MBE and Chloe Everton are joined by Vick from @VickandAl, one half of the viral husband-and-wife duo whose brilliantly chaotic family life has built a huge following online.

From meeting Al in a call centre and their dog Benny accidentally helping them go viral, to 4 million TikTok views, Kendall Jenner, Guy Ritchie events and red carpets, Vick shares what life behind @VickandAl is really like.

But this episode goes much deeper too.

Vick opens up about parenting their non-verbal autistic son, navigating the diagnosis journey, protecting their children online, dealing with trolls and why families desperately need better SEND support.

She also shares the story behind Victoria Hair Design, taking a leap of faith to open her own salon and why it remains one of her proudest achievements.

Funny, honest, chaotic and completely unfiltered.

Real people. Real stories. Real change.
