Ed Chamberlin is the face of horse racing on ITV, the man who shepherded Gary Neville into TV and also a cancer survivor. On this week's podcast, Georgie catches up with her old Sky Sports News co-presenter, Ed, to talk about:

* Why his first attempts at presenting all tanked

* The death threats he faced at Sky Sports

* Gary Neville's relentless work ethic and how it changed his own approach

* How he would never have walked away from the biggest job at Sky Sports if it wasn't for the cancer battle that nearly claimed his life and how his approach to risk was forever altered

* Jamie Carragher's encyclopaedic knowledge of football

* Why he insists that everyone gets the teas in at ITV, even AP McCoy

They also talk about their early days at Sky Sports, how Ed transitioned from bookie to TV anchor, and the bad news his Sky Sports boss just had to share.
