Danny Dyer was discovered by a scout while at school in East London and landed his first acting role in Prime Suspect 3 in 1994.

Perrie, green tikka masala chicken skewers and a rosé Jul 03, 2024

Perrie Edwards hails from South Shields and has musical roots - her mum was a soul singer and her dad played in rock bands on the northern club scene for many years. Perrie had to be convinced to audition for The X Factor at 17, but went on to win the show with Little Mix in 2011. The band scored five UK number one singles and became the first British girl group since the Spice Girls to have a debut album enter the top five in the US.

Perrie released her debut single Forget About Us, written by Ed Sheeran, in April and her second single Tears is out now. She has been in the studio with RAYE working on her upcoming album, which is due for release later this year.

Marian Keyes, carrot tarte tatin and purple sprouting broccoli Apr 17, 2024

Marian Keyes is one of the most successful Irish novelists of all time. She has written more than 20 books and sold over 35 million copies worldwide. Marian studied law in Dublin to placate her parents but had no interest in pursuing a legal career. Instead her rebellious nature took her to the UK where she lived in a squat in East London. It never occurred to Marian that she might be a writer until one day when she was inspired to write a short story. Her first novel, Watermelon, was published in Ireland in 1995 and was an overnight success. Marian’s books are as charming and chatty as she. Her latest novel, My Favourite Mistake, is out now.

Angela prepares a showstopping carrot tarte tatin which Marian adores and the experts at Waitrose pair the dish with a Loved and Found Susumaniello Rosato Organic Puglia Rosé. As the proudest Irish woman out there, Marian kicks off conversation with talk of the motherland, she speaks candidly about her unconventional route to becoming an author and Nick and Angela challenge her to a round of the oven glove quiz.

Kaya Scodelario, tagliatelle with cavolo nero, anchovies & pangrattato, & a Lugano Apr 10, 2024

Kaya Scodelario has grown up in the spotlight. The British-Brazilian actress shot to fame as Effy on E4’s comedy-drama Skins. The show has remained popular with audiences since the early noughties, tackling issues such as teen addiction and mental illness. That success propelled Kaya to the big screen, where she won roles in two massive movie franchises, Maze Runner and Pirates of the Caribbean. Kaya’s latest role is in Guy Ritchie’s hit series The Gentlemen on Netflix, playing Susie Glass alongside an all-star cast of Theo James, Vinnie Jones and Ray Winstone.

Nick welcomes Kaya with a Whiskey Sour inspired by her latest role, while Angela makes her carb-loving dreams come true with a pesto & three-cheese hedgehog garlic bread to start and fresh tagliatelle with buttery cavolo nero, anchovies and pangrattato for the main course.

Kaya speaks frankly about the film industry and how she chooses roles. She and Nick reminisce about the Skins’ days and she shares how her Brazilian roots have shaped her cooking and, more importantly, her eating!

Nick and Angela kick off season 5 with the inimitable Claudia Winkleman

Claudia Winkleman studied Art History at Cambridge but soon decided a career in Art was simply too quiet for her. She left the gallery and wandered into television, appearing on shows like Holiday on the BBC, This Morning on ITV and Liquid News on BBC three in the nineties.

For the last two years, Claudia has been thrilling audiences (often with her wardrobe) on the UK’s favourite reality TV show, The Traitors.

Angela prepares a tasty roast topside of beef with Yorkshire puddings, crispy roast potatoes and a side of savoy cabbage, providing some delicious inspiration for Mother’s Day. The experts at Waitrose pair the meal with a bottle of Réserve du Mistral Famille Perrin, while Claudia lovingly opts for a glass of Ribena.

Adam Hills, sticky pork ribs and a spicy cabbage salad. Apr 19, 2023

Nick and Angela are joined by Aussie comedian and BBQ King, Adam Hills, MBE.

Adam Hills began performing comedy at 19, toured ten solo shows internationally and presented several TV shows in Australia before he made the move to the UK. In 2012, he was asked to front The Last Leg with Alex Brooker and Josh Widdicombe, a show created to run alongside the London Paralympics coverage on Channel 4. The programme was such a hit with viewers that it quickly became a permanent fixture.

Adam is a real foodie and recently opened a restaurant with former Nobu head chef, Scott Hallsworth; Freak Scene is a ‘Pan-Asian punk’ eatery in Parsons Green.

Angela prepares some sticky pork ribs for our guest (which he adores) and a tasty spicy cabbage salad. As Adam has taken a break from the booze, Nick prepares an alcohol-free cocktail, a Cucumber Collins. Should you wish to pair this meal with a wine, Waitrose recommends Dr Loosen Ürziger Würzgarten Riesling Kabinett.

In conversation, Adam shares why he can’t say no to Russell Crowe, the challenges of presenting a live TV show from his garage in Sydney and his new kids book Murder at the Movies, which is out now.

Alex Jones, puttanesca and a Chianti Apr 10, 2023

Angela and Nick are joined by national treasure, Alex Jones.

Alex Jones’ route to The One Show couch was far from linear. She began her career by getting fired, twice, but returned to work unphased, prompting the production company to suggest a screen test. Alex aced that and having found her niche, was soon presenting a dating show in Magaluf. Alex joined The One Show in 2010 and appeared on Strictly the following year. She has interviewed stars like Kate Winslet, the Rock and astronaut Buzz Aldrin, who was memorable for many reasons. Alex has also taken part in two incredible Sport Relief challenges, including Hell on the High Seas, which saw six celebrities sail a racing yacht one thousand miles around the UK.

As Alex loves Italian food and is married to an ex-chef, Angela decides to do what she does best, pasta. She prepares puttanesca and reveals how she guarantees a delicious flavour, every time. Nick pours the wine, a No.1 Chianti Classico Riserva Piccini and for dessert, the trio enjoy a tarte aux fruits.

This episode is a giggle from start to finish as Alex reveals what happened when she drove a bus down the M40 with Chris Evans, why she is NOT a baker and why Lionel Richie got more than he bargained for, the day they met.

Catch Alex Jones on Reunion Hotel on BBC 2 and the BBC iPlayer.

Rob Delaney and a braised leg of lamb with mint, parsley & almond pesto Apr 05, 2023

Dish is back! Season three kicks off with US comedian, writer and author, Rob Delaney.

Twitter launched Rob Delaney’s career in comedy and in 2012 he was named Funniest Person on Twitter by Comedy Central. In 2014, Rob and his wife Leah moved their family from Santa Monica to North London so he could co-write and co-star in Catastrophe with Sharon Horgan. The show ran for four series and the pair won a BAFTA for best comedy writer in 2016. Sadly, not long after, Rob’s son Henry was diagnosed with a brain tumour and, at just two and a half, he died. In 2022, Rob released a memoir, A Heart that Works; a deeply moving depiction of the grief that Rob’s family and other families endure and the love that ultimately saves their lives.

To mark Easter and a brand new season, Angela serves Rob a leg of lamb with a delicious mint, parsley and almond pesto, broccoli, green beans and new potatoes. The meal is paired with a Blueprint Rioja, Posadas Hisapanas. Rob discusses his passion for peanut butter, what Tom Cruise is like on set and why he’d rather get naked than cook dinner with his wife.

A Heart that Works is available now and Rob Delaney stars in Mission Impossible 7, out this summer.

Spencer and Vogue, lamb and cheesy hasselback potatoes Feb 01, 2023

In the final episode of season two, it’s a family affair at DISH HQ with Spencer, Vogue and baby Otto.

Angela and Nick host two stars that risked life and limb on reality tv. Now married, these two entrepreneurs have three kids and several podcasts between them: Spencer & Vogue, My Therapist Ghosted Me and 6 Degrees with Jamie and Spencer. Vogue also has her own fake tan range, Bare by Vogue while Spencer has his own low ABV spirits company, CleanCo, available at Waitrose.

Angela cooks some lamb to perfection and makes some tasty cheesy hasselback potatoes, a recipe devised by Waitrose in conjunction with Zaina, 19, as part of the Create not Hate programme*. Spencer and Vogue talk about parenting, their pet peeves and, to satisfy their competitive nature, Nick treats the couple (and us) to a game of Mr. & Mrs.!

*Create Not Hate has partnered with Waitrose and John Lewis to continue with their mission to improve access to the creative industry for young people from a range of diverse backgrounds, who may not have considered a career in the industry or could use support to get started with their career.

Nick and Angela will be back in early April with brand new episodes of DISH.

Please keep your dilemmas coming to dish@waitrose.co.uk and Angela will try and answer them on season three.

Phil Wang, beef & broccoli noodles and a beer Jan 25, 2023

Nick and Angela welcome British-Malaysian comic Phil Wang.

While studying Engineering at Cambridge, Phil got a sniff of stand-up comedy and was hooked. In 2010 and 2011, he was voted funniest student in the UK and the MBA his mother had always dreamed of, was no longer on the table.

Phil has mastered all mediums, with Netflix specials and comedy panel shows like Taskmaster and Have I Got News For You under his belt. He has written a book, Sidesplitter: How to Be from Two Worlds at Once and has also made us laugh aurally, with programmes on BBC Radio 4 and a podcast series called BudPod with fellow comedian Pierre Novellie.

Wang In There, Baby, is Phil’s brand new tour, hitting the UK and Ireland in March.

Infamous for rating local Asian restaurants on twitter while on tour, Phil keeps Angela on her toes as she carefully prepares some spicy beef and broccoli noodles. Nick pairs the dish with a lager, Birra Moretti.

As series two of DISH draws to a close, this penultimate episode is FULL of laughs! Phil pitches what he believes is the best meal of the day, Nick shares what Jennifer Saunders once said to him backstage and Angela confesses that she cannot be trusted with your kitchen appliances.

Poppy O’Toole, a smoked aubergine salad and an English sparkling wine Jan 18, 2023

Nick and Angela welcome young British chef and Potato Queen, Poppy O’Toole.

Michelin-trained internet sensation Poppy Cooks went viral last year and rose to culinary fame when she began posting easy-to-follow recipes on TikTok, including the infamous 15 hour potato. Poppy creates easy-to-follow tutorials which have amassed 300 million views on her channels since April 2020, when she lost her job due to the pandemic. Her debut cookbook Poppy Cooks: The Food You Need, breaks down her fine-dining roots and reimagines them in kitchens at home. In 2022, Poppy was a judge on E4’s show Celebrity Cooking School alongside Giorgio Locatelli and she is currently the newest judge of BBC Three's Young MasterChef, alongside Kerth Gumbs.

Poppy and Angela have more than Chef whites in common. They trekked Peru together raising more than £250,000 for Action Against Hunger in 2022. Angela prepares a light and creamy, smoked aubergine, freekeh & pomegranate salad, with flatbreads. Nick pairs the dish with a citrusy English sparkling wine.

Poppy shares the many ways she loves to eat the humble potato, how she manifested her MasterChef dream and what she said when she met her hero, Jamie Oliver.

Vernon Kay, steak & mushroom stroganoff and a malbec Jan 11, 2023

Nick and Angela welcome presenter and proud Northerner, Vernon Kay.

Grimmy and Vernon first met when they presented T4 together back in their TV heydays, and later found themselves on back-to-back, on Saturday mornings on BBC Radio 1 - very challenging time slots for their active social lives.

Vernon Kay is best known for iconic TV shows including All Star Family Fortunes, Just the Two of Us and Splash. In 2020 he appeared on I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, and recently has been covering on This Morning alongside Rochelle Humes. He has switched early morning radio for a late-night show, Dance Sounds of the 90s on BBC Radio 2 and regularly covers Zoe Ball’s breakfast show, where he interviewed Nick and Angela when they launched Dish back in June.

Nick and Angela welcome DJ, broadcaster, author and one of Nick’s superstar friends, Annie MacManus.

Annie is a force in the music industry. For seventeen years, she was a pillar of BBC Radio, dedicating each show to championing the best in new music on programmes like Radio 1's Future Sounds, Dance Party and, of course, her Sunday evening show with Grimmy - simply called Nick Grimshaw and Annie Mac.

She runs the festival Lost & Found in Malta, and in early 2022, Annie launched her Before Midnightclub night, with the aim of providing a more accessible clubbing experience for those who prefer an early night.

Nick and Angela welcome their favourite TV duo to Casa Grimshaw.

From humble beginnings flipping burgers at Wembley stadium, Dermot O’Leary is now one of the biggest names in UK television. He began on T4, then played Big Brother’s Little Brother before The X Factor came knocking. Other presenting highlights include fronting the National Television Awards for the last ten years and Soccer Aid and the Baftas too. Not confined to one medium, Dermot's dulcet tones can be heard on BBC Radio 2 on Saturday mornings and on his podcast, People just People, available on audible.

In 2002, Alison Hammond had a sliding doors moment: enter the Big Brother house or be a contestant on Cilla Black’s Blind Date. Alison chose reality TV and from there, became a household name. Her rise to fame includes appearances on Strictly, Celebrity MasterChef and I’m a Celebrity....Get Me Out of Here! She has recently published her memoir, You’ve Got To Laugh: Stories from a Life Lived to the Full.

Hugh Bonneville, Champagne, and Christmas dinner Dec 21, 2022

Beloved British actor and now author, Hugh Bonneville visits Nick and Angela at casa Grimshaw.

Hugh has appeared in many iconic films opposite some of the greats of Hollywood, Notting Hill with Julia Roberts, Iris with Judi Dench, The Monuments Men with George Clooney, and the Paddington movies with everyone’s favourite bear.

He’s equally celebrated for his portrayal of Robert Crawley in TV drama Downton Abbey and its film adaptations, for which he received Golden Globe nominations, two Emmys and the cast won three SAG Awards for Outstanding Ensemble in a Drama Series.

Hugh recently published his debut memoir, Playing Under the Piano: From Downton to Darkest Peru.

It’s fair to say that Mr Bonneville rather hit the jackpot, as Angela Hartnett prepares Christmas dinner with all the trimmings. The special occasion calls for oysters and Champagne to start. Followed by a rosemary & black pepper brined wing rib of beef, flanked by sticky pigs in blankets, gratin dauphinois, maple-roast parsnips and carrots, brussels sprouts with pancetta and a red cabbage slaw. All paired with a delicate Muga Selección Especial Reserva and Angela’s special tiramisu for dessert.

In this episode, Angela shares her incredible gravy recipe, Nick expresses his guilt about eating in front of the crew and Hugh tells some hilarious audition anecdotes and how he discovered his mother was a spy.

There were no marmalade sandwiches on the menu, but plenty of love for Paddington, who sadly had to decline the invitation.

We launch season two with a national treasure…

Everyone’s favourite TV presenter joins Nick and Angela for a meal at DISH HQ.

Jayde Adams and steak with polenta mash Aug 10, 2022

Comedian Jayde Adams brings her West Country wit to Dish HQ this week.

Dawn French calls her the ‘3rd funniest woman in the world’ and we know why. Her passion for acting, singing and comedy is rivalled only by her fondness for fodder. Jayde was nominated for best newcomer at the Edinburgh Fringe for her debut show (which is almost unheard of), won her first major acting role in 2021 on BBC 2’s ‘Alma’s Not Normal’ and is now on tour with the hilarious, ‘Men, I Can Save You’ - tickets can be found at jaydeadams.com

Jayde loves food more than people and as such got suitably moist around the eye at the prospect of Angela Hartnett cooking her a steak and polenta mash. Talk around the table turns to the cider renaissance, 7 course tasting menus and how Heston Blumenthal changed her mind on red wine.

Singer songwriter Tom Grennan and hake with roast red pepper sauce Jul 27, 2022

Tom Grennan is a Bedford boy done good. With a flair for football, he pursued a professional career in his teens until the competition proved too stiff. Taking stock, Tom decided to give his other gift a shot. He began gigging around London and got spotted in a pub by a record label. His songs ‘A Little Bit of Love’ and ‘By Your Side’ (with Calvin Harris) were the second and third most played tracks of 2021 and his new tune ‘All These Nights’ is out now.

As Tom is pescatarian, Angela plated up some delicious hake with a roast red pepper sauce made with love by our novice chef Nick. Round the table, Tom tries an olive for the first time, shares his unconventional mash potato recipe and if you thought Grimshaw’s G-Wagon story was good (James May episode) ...wait till you hear what happened to Tom’s brand new wheels.
