Our guest today is the infectiously inspiring TV presenter and celebrity baker Briony May Williams.

The first visibly disabled baker on The Great British Bake Off, Briony has gone on to become an established BBC star. She's also a dedicated champion of disability charities, from Reach to Children In Need. We talk today about the initial discomfort of seeing herself as an advocate and representative, and of how growing up in the 80s meant that her formative identity was unequivocally can-do.

Briony's first cookbook, The Retro Recipe Society, a veritable bible of comfort food, is out now!
