Joining Tristan and Pippa this week is the one and only Mick Fitzgerald. A memorable winner of the Grand National in 1996 and the Cheltenham Gold Cup in 1999, he is now a mainstay of the ITV Racing team. From the joy of pony racing as a boy to the heartbreaking, life-changing accident at the 2008 Grand National, Mick’s story is nothing short of extraordinary. To paraphrase his famous quote on winning the Grand National: After that interview, even sex is an anticlimax.

Pippa also reveals to Tristan what really goes on at Sports Personality of the Year, and we answer your equine conundrums.
