Nikki Bedi and Richard Coles start your weekend with:
DJ and producer Naughty Boy whose Deal or No Deal win funded his music career, and now he numbers Beyonce, Ed Sheeran and Emeli Sande among his collaborators.
Photographer and meat-free living advocate Mary McCartney who found fame as a baby when she appeared on the cover of her dad Paul McCartney's first solo album, and since then has become an acclaimed photographer as well as the co-founder of Meat Free Mondays.
Elise Christie, world champion speed skater and Olympic athlete. In a new memoir she recounts her successes, and the incredibly tough moments in her life that led her to retire aged 31.
Anthea Allen, the critical care nurse who asked for biscuits and started a movement. At the height of lockdown in May 2020 while working at St George's Hospital she emailed her neighbours asking for sweet treats to keep her colleagues going. She was inundated with replies and soon her weekly newsletter, full of stories from the frontline, became essential reading and an organisation was set up to support NHS staff.
Newsreader and Mastermind host picks his Inheritance Tracks.
