Podcasts about Strictly Come Dancing

We welcome a man with clear rules on food! Chris McCausland is a comedian, author, and Strictly Come Dancing champion. Within minutes of sitting down with Nick and Angela, he's critiquing the Dish chair and explaining the mathematical shape of a Pringle, setting the tone for a brilliantly entertaining episode.  Chris is one of the busiest people on the circuit, with his tour Yonks spanning years, multiple legs, and even multiple shows in a day. Alongside that, his memoir Keep Laughing tells the story of his life, from growing up in Liverpool and losing his sight, through to becoming one of the UK's most loved stand-ups. He tells us how the book came together without a plan, why writing about his early life proved more interesting than his comedy career, and how Strictly opened him up emotionally in ways he never expected.  Chris is greeted with a cold Fentimans ginger beer and salt and vinegar Pringles – his favourite! Next up, Angela served a piping hot cottage pie using a recipe by Martha Collison, with a side of Savoy cabbage. The British classic was paired with a No.1 Viña Lorea Reserva Rioja to complement the rich, savoury meat and creamy potatoes. There is plenty of food chat along the way, from Chris's deep love of Italian dishes like bolognese and pizza (a life-changing discovery at university), to his dedication to sausages on tour, balanced by what he calls “sausage dark days”. We also get into the gamble of hotel eggs, his theory about spice levels, and how mayo has taken over the sandwich market.  As for the cottage pie? A straight 10 from everyone!    You can watch full episodes of Dish on YouTube and on Spotify.  All recipes from this podcast can be found at waitrose.com/dishrecipes The recipe for the cottage pie was created for Waitrose by Martha Collison. A transcript for this episode can be found at waitrose.com/dish If you want to get in touch with us about anything at all, contact dish@waitrose.co.uk  Dish from Waitrose is made by Cold Glass Productions Learn more about your ad choices.

And costume designer Vicky Gill describes the importance of designing costumes that catch the eye. Plus, we go behind the scenes as Jason puts the dancers through their paces to create a showstopper for the final of Strictly Come Dancing 2025.

Rosamund Pike, the Emmy and Golden Globe winner, is known for standout roles in Saltburn, her Oscar nominated lead in Gone Girl, and Made in Dagenham. Next month she stars on the West End stage, coming back to the role of Jessica Parks, the maverick judge at the heart of the National Theatre's hit play Inter Alia, also filmed for NT Live screenings. She joined Anita Rani to discuss her role that explores motherhood, masculinity and the complexities of justice.It's more than a decade since Nadiya Hussain became a household name after winning the Great British Bake Off. Since then, she's fronted her own cookery shows, written more than a dozen cookbooks and a series of children's books. Her latest collection of recipes is called Quick Comforts, and Nadiya joined presenter Clare McDonnell to talk about finding comfort in food, her career so far and lots more.In December 2024, Dominque Pelicot and 46 other men were found guilty of the aggravated rape of his wife Gisèle. Another two were found guilty of attempted rape and a further two were found guilty of sexual assault. Dominque had drugged Gisèle with medication without her knowledge, raped her and invited other men to rape her, filming as they did so. At least another 20 men who took part in these rapes could not be identified. Waving her right to anonymity, Gisèle Pelicot declared that shame has to change sides. Despite her becoming a household name, not only in her native France but around the world, very little was known about Gisèle herself. She has written her memoir, A Hymn to Life, with writer Judith Perrignon and Judith joins Nuala McGovern to discuss.Dr Punam Krishan is a Glasgow based NHS GP and the resident doctor on the BBC's Morning Live programme. Back in 2024 she was a contestant on Strictly Come Dancing where she was the first dancer to perform a Bollywood routine. But six months ago, at the age of 42, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and has since gone through treatment. She has recently written about how being a doctor didn't prepare her for the experience of being a patient. Dr Punam joined Anita to discuss.Ketamine has become a worryingly popular recreational drug among young people, and the consequences can be devastating. That's according to a specialist NHS clinic which reports that some teenagers suffer such severe bladder damage from taking it, that some rely on incontinence pads. To discuss the implications, Anita was joined by Dr Alison Downey, Consultant Urologist at Mid Staffs NHS Foundation Trust, who is treating young people with ketamine related bladder problems. Also joining them is Eva, who has stopped using ketamine and is receiving support from the hub.The award-winning internationally renowned Welsh harpist and composer Catrin Finch first came to prominence in her early 20s as the official Royal Harpist to King Charles, the-then Prince of Wales. She achieved chart success with her No. 1 recording of Bach's Goldberg Variations and has performed with many of the world's leading orchestras. Catrin, who began playing the harp at just six years old, has a new album, Notes to Self, a series of reflective and deeply personal new tracks she has composed for Katy, her 13-year-old-self. She joined Nuala and performed live in the studio. Presenter: Anita Rani Producer: Annette Wells

Valentine's weekend may have been and gone, but throughout February we're looking back at some of our favourite couples' conversations from our archive. This week it's Strictly Come Dancing's power couple - Janette Manrara & Aljaž Škorjanec. Hear how their romance bloomed on the touring dance show 'Burn the Floor', why they only row once every three years and the best engagement story we've ever had on the podcast. Enjoy the conversation - we'll be back on Thursday with a brand new episode. Cheers. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In the early twentieth century, American ragtime and the Parisian tango fuelled a dancing craze in Britain. Public ballrooms were built throughout the country, providing a glamorous setting for dancing. The new English style, defined in the 1920s and followed by the films of Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers in the 1930s, ensured that ballroom dancing continued to be the most popular British pastime until the 1960s, rivalled only by cinema. Ballroom: A People's History of Dancing (Reaktion, 2022) by Dr. Hilary French explores the vibrant history of ballroom and Latin dancing: the dances, lavish venues, competitions and influential instructors. It also traces the decline of couple dancing and its resurgence in recent years with the hugely popular TV shows Strictly Come Dancing and Dancing with the Stars. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose forthcoming book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

It must be February. We know that because the old “Should The PLAYERS Championship be a major” argument has started all over again.   Michael, James and Lewis discuss the merits for and against (mostly against) that idea on this week's episode.   Elsewhere, the guys react to Patrick Reed's latest win and the prospect of a first genuinely mouth-watering Order of Merit race in over 20 years, and there's reaction to LIV finally getting OWGR points (and still being unhappy about it).   Plus, mine shafts, Golf Tenable, and… Strictly Come Dancing?!   Tune-in now!   ⛳️ Chat to us on social and subscribe to the magazine for the best golf news, reviews, comment and more, direct from the home of golf!                                    ⓣ https://twitter.com/bunkeredgolf                                                                  ⓕ https://www.facebook.com/bunkeredonline                                                                ⓨ https://www.youtube.com/bunkeredonline                                                                  ⓘ https://www.instagram.com/bunkeredgolfonline                                                       Get the magazine every month: https://www.bunkered.co.uk/suboffer

The UK's most popular TV show, The Traitors, has come under the spotlight not just because of its popularity but because it has been accused of reflecting prejudice in British society. The charge is that contestants from ethnic minorities are more likely to be expelled early on in the game because of unconscious bias, particularly unconscious racial bias. Others shows too, like Strictly Come Dancing, Love Island and Big Brother have faced similar accusations. Adam Fleming unpicks the debate.

Legendary broadcaster John Sergeant tells the often hilarious stories that knit together to form a career that has straddled both the deadly serious and the comic and absurd. From Northern Ireland to the shiny floors of Strictly Come Dancing via Vietnam and Westminster, Sergeant has spent a life in the limelight. He reveals the background to his famous ambush of Margaret Thatcher on the steps of the British Embassy in Paris, and the truth behind the photograph of the young girl fleeing a napalm strike in what was then South Vietnam. Even as a small child, Sergeant was in the thick of the story and he lived in a refugee camp in Gaza as a two year-old. This is an unmissable chance to hear from a national figure of stage and screen whose sense of humour and gravelly voice are unmistakable.

Pop the champagne, Ed and George are feeling Christmassy in the Political Currency studio, answering some very special questions. Claudia Winkleman asks who the ultimate political traitor is? Who do they pick for 2025… and of all time? Plus, our listeners ask Ed and George about the gifts they have bought for their loved ones - did George ever get David and Sam Cam any wallpaper… and also what books they'd recommend as stocking fillers. Rob Rinder asks George whether he really thinks he could have done better than Ed on Strictly Come Dancing. And he also asks a more serious question: why do they think anti-semitism has been on the rise?Then, seeing as it's the season, a listener asks about Ed and George's favourite Westminster pubs and finally, it's Ed's time to shine as a listener asks for his ultimate Christmas recipes.Thank you so much for all your support in 2025.

In our pick of the year's best interviews on Access All, we look back at a year of perceptive interviews by Emma Tracey with great people and their great thoughts on living this disabled life. We hear from author of The Vulpine, Polly Crosby, who has cystic fibrosis and tells us she writes "little and often" so she can write comfortably with the condition she has. Comedian Chris McCausland now feels he can talk openly about being blind after the emotional experience of winning Strictly Come Dancing. And comedian Harriet Dyer who is always really open about mental illness tells us about the night she nearly died twice - though it had nothing to do with what was going on in her head. There's even more than that, and each have their own great insights that we recommend wholeheartedly as a Christmas uplift. Yours sincerely, the Access All team Presenter: Emma Tracey Mixed by: Dave O'Neill Produced by Alex Collins Editor: Damon Rose

But he has never let disability define him.In his latest autobiography, Keep Laughing, Chris details the journey of a boy from Liverpool who goes on to win the hearts of the nation.On this episode of Ways to Change the World, he talks to Krishnan Guru-Murthy about why it was important for him to take part in Strictly Come Dancing, the frustrations and identity challenges he faced as he grappled with losing sight, and how he continues to challenge perceptions.

King Charles and Queen Camilla have been invited to Washington, DC for a State Visit in April at President Trump's request, though the King's health may determine whether he travels. William and Kate are expected to visit the United States in July for America's 250th anniversary, while Harry and Meghan are not expected to take part in any commemorations. Questions are again being asked about royal finances as scrutiny turns to Prince Edward's long-term lease of Bagshot Park. Charles donates £50,000 of his own money toward urgent roof repairs at West Newton Church, a site closely linked to Queen Elizabeth the Second. A Brazilian self-styled “Living Nostradamus” offers dramatic predictions about royal health, family reconciliation, and even Meghan's relationship with Netflix. Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor prepares for an eventual move from Royal Lodge and faces uncertainty over where the late Queen's corgis will live. Princess Anne hosts a Christmas tea for veterans, earning praise from guests aged 100 and older. And Mike and Zara Tindall shut down speculation about appearing on Strictly Come Dancing, confirming they'll instead spend Christmas at Sandringham — though perhaps avoiding certain family members.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.
