Nick and Angela welcome a British actress to Dish HQ.


Born in London to South Indian parents, Simone Ashley packed her bags at 16 and moved to Los Angeles to pursue her dream to model and act. She landed her first big role in Sex Education in 2019, before becoming a global superstar as Kate Sharma in Bridgerton. Simone played Ariel’s sister in Disney’s The Little Mermaid in 2023 and, later this year, will star in the hugely anticipated film F1. Simone is here to celebrate the release of her new rom-com, Picture This.


Nick mixes a negroni for Simone while Angela prepares a fennel, potato & gruyère gratin with charcuterie. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Dourthe Roqueblanche sauvignon blanc. 


A self-confessed foodie, Simone chats about her special relationship with gruyère cheese, her mother’s incredible South Indian curries and her passion for lime pickle. She also talks tattoos, and what her family made of her working with Brad Pitt.

We can’t all have a Michelin star chef in the kitchen, but you can ask Angela for help.

Send your dilemmas to [email protected] and she’ll try to answer them in a future episode.
