A BRADFORD-born singer-turned TV presenter has helped launch a new series of digital conversation cards designed for family mealtimes.

McCain has released Teatime to Talk, a series of digital and audio conversation cards specifically designed to spark fun and exciting conversation starting points for families of all ages and abilities during mealtimes.

Voiced by former Girls Aloud star and mum of two, Kimberley Walsh, and created in partnership with leading UK child psychologist Dr Laverne Antrobus, the cards have been created following new research, that reveals almost a third (31 per cent) of families state the cost-of-living crisis has hindered their family time, with a quarter claiming communication within households simply hasn’t been the same since the cost of living crisis started.

Kimberley, who poses the questions, said: “I’m thrilled to be working with McCain as part of its ‘Teatime to Talk’ campaign.

“I think the conversation cards we’ve created are a brilliant way to kick-start some teatime conversations in any family and I can't wait to try them out with own my kids too!” Designed to be used around the dinner table, by families of all ages, ‘Teatime to Talk’ the conversation cards are available to view or download for free from McCain’s website https://www.mccain.co.uk, or via all major streaming platforms including Spotify.
