Claudia Winkleman, roast topside of beef and a Réserve du Mistral

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. Her big break came in 2004, when she began presenting Strictly Come Dancing: It Takes Two. Ten years later she stepped on to the dancefloor proper to host Strictly Come Dancing with Tess Daly. In 2020, Claudia scored a Sunday Times bestseller with her collection of hilarious essays, Quite: love, life & eyeliner. 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. This is a riotously fun episode to welcome you back to the Dish table. Claudia talks Traitors, takes us behind the scenes at Strictly and shares what her husband, Kris, must simply never do.
