Season 5: Episode 02: Matt Tebbutt

I am FINALLY joined by my first world champion boxer this week! Lawrence Okolie sat down with me just after retaining his WBO Cruiserweight title (well, not literally straight after, but you know what I mean!).He may have zoomed in from his bed (!), but the champion spoke all about growing up in a Nigerian household and how he STILL doesn’t know how to make jollof rice, his unique success story and his book, Dare to Change Your Life.He opens up about his relationship with food as a child; he was overweight and bullied and sought comfort in food and we bond over the fact we both used to skive of off school sports.As an athlete, he explains how he structures his time in the lead up to a fight, sparring with Anthony Joshua and why he decided to become vegan!@lawrenceokolie@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am so excited to be partnering up with Gorillas again this season!

This week I have a true showbiz superstar joining me, Mr Martin Kemp! He’s done it all; music, TV, film and even GBBO!He popped over and talked all about his time in Spandau Ballet, and the huge success they had overnight. He commends his time on Eastenders, where he played bad boy Steve Owen as saving his life after a very traumatic experience with a brain tumour. The man is still as gorgeous as he was when he first entered the limelight, and is showing no signs of stopping! He discusses how he loves working with his family; namely his son Roman, a successful presenter, and his wife Shirley (who he adores!), who was part of Wham!Food wise, Martin explains the importance of a certain pie and mash shop near where he grew up in Islington and why Bounty bars are SO important to him!!@martinjkemp@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am so excited to be partnering up with Gorillas again this season!

It was an absolute honour (and somewhat nerve wracking) to have Marcus Wareing join me in my kitchen for a chat this week.He came in, saw my stew bubbling away on the stove, gave me some lifechanging tips and then sat down with a cuppa and spoke to me all about his life growing up in Southport, his boxing days, and his experience coming to London to work at The Savoy and Le Gavroche.He discusses the difference between the chefs of his day to present day and how the training has changed, producing a different kind of chef. And we talk all about receiving his first Michelin star at 26!Marcus released his ninth cookbook last year – Marcus’ Kitchen and has a new TV show starting called Tales from a Kitchen Garden. It’s a new concept for him; all about his place in East Sussex, it’s garden, growing produce and rearing animals and all the bits inbetween!@marcuswareing@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am so excited to be partnering up with Gorillas again this season!

It had been a long time coming to get this brilliant woman onto the podcast, and we finally did it after months of planning!Adjoa Andoh has been on our screens and stages for years, and currently plays the incredible Lady Danbury in a little-known show called Bridgerton!She talks about her wonderful upbringing with a real mixture of food and cuisines being around her English mother and Ghanaian father and she dissects what Ghanaian food is and her memories of it. We also had an interesting conversation about the state of the food and farming industry. How bad cheap food (namely meat) and factory farming is.She discusses the different mediums of acting and we obviously touch on Bridgerton; it’s global success, Shonda Rhimes and the character of Lady DanburyI discover the shocking food available on film sets, and she explains how she works around it. But to make a sad story happy, I find out just how much she loves sherry trifle!!@adjoa.andoh@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am so excited to be partnering up with Gorillas again this season!

What a special episode this was, getting to sit down with one of my favourite childhood boybands, Five! They’re back with a new album after 20 years and I got to chat to them all about it!The three of them, Scott, Ritchie and Sean, all admitted they’re much healthier than they used to be; in fact, none of them had eaten breakfast as they’re all intermittent fasting!!We cover everything: Scott’s bizarre food phobias, Ritchie’s childhood nickname and Sean’s love of anything spicy!They also reflect on the early days of their career, how lonely it was, the crazy world of fame and how food had very little importance!What a bunch of lovely lads, my younger self was pinching myself during this chat! I even asked them what their favourite Five song was!@itsfiveofficial@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am so excited to be partnering up with Gorillas again this season!

I’m back! Season 6 is here!!! I am soooo excited to be back on the airwaves doing what I love. This season is going to be so much fun, I hope you enjoy it as much as I do making it!I’m joined by ex-NFL star, Jason Bell. We thought we’d honour the biggest sporting event in the world – The Super Bowl – which is played this Sunday and what better way that getting the ex-New York Giants, The Dallas Cowboys and Houston Texans player on to talk all things American Football, the relationship between food and sport, as well as the effect on players mental health.This was such an interesting, eye opening conversation and I really appreciated Jason’s honesty.We obviously talk all about the Super Bowl – who he predicts will be in the final, and most importantly – what he eats on Super Bowl Weekend!! It’s serious business!!I hope you enjoy the episode and if you’re watching the Super Bowl this weekend, wherever you may be, take note of Jason’s predictions and dedicate a chicken wing to him (and me of course)!!! @jasonbell33@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____I am so excited to be partnering up with Gorillas again this season!

This is why I LOVE DOING A PODCAST! I have never met Omid Djalili before and within the first few seconds, I found out he knew my Iranian grandfather very well and knows my family! What are the chances?We cover everything in this episode – our favourite Iranian dishes, being pigeon holed as a Middle Eastern man, the comedy world and the fine line between being funny and being cancelledOmid regales his childhood at a very well-known West London school and talks about meeting Mel Smith after a school production where Mel he told him he was funny, which in turn got him to think about a career in comedy.Omid is currently on his Good Times Tour, tickets are available and I urge you to go see him live!@omiddjalili@crazysexyfood@hannahharleywww.crazysexyfood.comMusic by @casnova____This season is sponsored by Gorillas, the sexy grocery delivery app revolutionising online shopping.
