Today's guest is a national treasure, showbiz extraordinaire and one of our favourite northern icons - it's Jane McDonald!
In 1998 and at the age of 35 she hit our screens as the breakout star of BBC docu-series The Cruise, becoming an overnight success and it's no surprise she hasn't looked back since! She's done it all, from cruise ships to the stage, a debut album that topped the charts, and a 10-year stay on the Loose Women panel - she's dedicated her life to being a performer but she's still, and will forever be, a Wake-y girl at heart! Here, with the help of some of her nearest and dearest, she walks us through her most hilarious and heartfelt life stories.

Tim is here to talk all about his remarkable career that's taken him from difficult decisions on the battlefield to the stars and how his experiences in space have helped him view the world differently.
