Welcome to Keep It Grief, the show where two mates talk honestly about loss, life after it, and everything that comes with grief.

In this episode, X Factor winner, Matt Terry, opens up about a rarely discussed form of grief: mourning the person he used to be. After winning The X Factor, Matt found himself shaped into someone he no longer recognised and quietly began grieving the version of himself he felt he’d lost.

Alongside this internal struggle, Matt also reflects on the very real grief of losing his nan, and how navigating both forms of loss forced him to confront identity, pressure, and what it truly means to heal.

This is an honest, thoughtful conversation about fame, selfhood, and the unseen grief we carry and how, sometimes, losing yourself is the first step to finding your way back.

Keep It Grief is proudly in partnership with The Estate Registry, which supports people through the practical realities that follow the loss of a loved one.
