This is Unscripted - a podcast brought to you by ITV News Arts Editor Nina Nannar. In each episode, Nina speaks to a leading name from the world of arts and entertainment.

Her guests talk about their life and work, plus Nina asks them where they see themselves in five years.


On Unscripted this week, Nina is joined by Ward Thomas, the first British country act to have a number one album.

Ahead of climate summit COP26, the twin sisters tell Nina about Busking For Our Planet, their pop-up street performances in aid of various environmental charities.

They also explain how their upbringing on a farm informed their climate change activism.

And in an increasingly environmentally conscious world, should musicians forsake international tours? Ward Thomas share their thoughts.
