Mandy and Kate are excited to chat with Grant and Chezzi Denyer, TV celebrities and producers, podcast hosts and Pea parents to three little girls. Their youngest daughter, Sunday, was born with hip dysplasia.
After showing Mandy and Kate his Gold Logie (!), Grant and Chezzi talk all about Sunday’s experience needing surgery, a full-body Spica cast for 12 weeks and a brace to encourage her hip joint to heal and grow into place. But how do you change an explosive nappy while your baby’s in a full-body cast? And what happens if she’s just about to take her first steps, yet she’s completely immobilised?
For Grant, coming from the “pretend land and silliness” of breakfast television and game shows, Sunday’s health challenges forced a change of perspective. Used to faking it til he made it, and having to present a fabulous, flawless, no baggage, got-your-shit-together ‘look’ for TV, Grant honestly shares his experiences of dealing with the reality of life off-camera, including some post-natal depression and anxiety, and adjusting to a new and unfamiliar life as a Dad.Chezzi also talks about her experience of hyperememis while pregnant, all while Grant was off in the jungle (literally, for I’m A Celebrity, Get Me Out Of Here!), and the amazing support she’s found amongst the hip dysplasia community.
Thank you for sharing your amazing story with us Grant and Chezzi!
