Gino D’Acampo on running an empire, being underestimated, and having no regrets
Joining us today is a man working in rarefied TV air - a presenter, chef, author and personality who captures the public’s attention like few else. It’s the legendary Gino D’Acampo! Gino dials in for a chat about living life to its absolute fullest, from his years wowing diners and entertaining the public from behind stovetops across the world, to inadvertently stumbling in on orgies and changing his middle name to “Sheffield” as part of a chaotic stint on Celebrity Juice. But it’s fair to say that Gino is a more layered, thoughtful man than the public’s perception of him might suggest. Because behind the outlandish court jester everyone has come to love is a savvy businessman, a nurturing father and a philosophical thinker who doesn’t care what show you’re offering or how big the paycheque is - if it encroaches on his principles (or his Sardinian holiday), he’s not interested.

Tom Allen on living with parents in his 30s, his unusual accent and finding love
This week, we’re joined by the witty funnyman you’ll know from the likes of 'The Apprentice: You’re Fired' and 'Bake Off: An Extra Slice' – it’s the incredibly charming Tom Allen. Tom joins Kate to take a delightful stroll down memory lane and reminisce about his Bromley roots. Growing up as a slightly awkward, top-hat-wearing teenager with a penchant for fine silverware and dinner parties, Tom’s journey through school wasn’t exactly focused on finding his tribe but rather on beating to the sound of his own drum. Describing himself as a 40-year-old man trapped inside a teenage body as he navigated those early years, we fast forward to his life today at that age he always felt he was meant to be and explore the full journey it took to get there. ***Please take the time to rate and review us on Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your pods.

Catherine Tyldesley on love, auditioning for Andrew Lloyd-Webber, and musical theatre return
This week’s guest is a familiar face from the Coronation Street cobbles, having spent over 7 years there - the delightful Catherine Tyldesley! Catherine joins Kate ahead of her upcoming venture into musical theatre, starring in the musical version of Bonnie and Clyde. Despite it being her debut, she tells us all about how musical theatre was actually her first love. She also chats about her chance romance with her now-husband (a tale of being each other’s opposite types on paper but a perfect match in reality) and her newfound love for dance. A surprising revelation for someone who had spent a lifetime avoiding even the lightest two-step! But with the magic of Strictly Come Dancing and the brilliance of her dance partner Johannes, she’s found a spring in her step and a sway in her walk. Hosted on Acast.

Something from the Cellar: Dry January
Seeing as we’re right in the thick of one of the toughest months of the year, we thought that anyone taking up Dry January might like some inspiration to keep them on track for the rest of the month! So on today’s episode, we revisited some of our best conversations about changing your relationship to alcohol. First up, we talked to the lovely Lisa Riley - television presenter, actor and Emmerdale’s beloved Mandy Dingle - about the hardcore partying that went on behind the scenes of the Strictly Tour and how this, alongside navigating her own grief, led her to give up alcohol altogether seven years ago. We also hear from ultimate funny man Brian Conley - a comic with 40 years of experience behind him who’s spent half of those sober! Plus, the brilliant journalist and broadcaster Adrian Chiles discusses his book 'The Good Drinker', and the lessons he’s learnt through understanding the importance of moderation and drinking less - rather than going entirely sober.

To mark such a milestone, Kate sat down with her old friend to look back over it all.
