On Wednesday, Ed Gamble is the next guest on Nick Grimshaw and Angela Hartnett OBE’s weekly podcast, Dish where they talk about everything from how the co-host of hit podcast Off Menu prepares before going on stage to Nigella’s disappointing food offering at Radio 1.

The pair invite listeners to pull up a seat at the table for delicious food, drink, and unfiltered, hilarious chat. While Michelin star chef Angela will be making and serving incredible dishes, sharing tips, and recommending delicious Waitrose recipes, Radio 1 alumni, Grimmy sticks to serving the drinks and interviewing their special guests.

NIGELLA ON RADIO 1

Nick Grimshaw: “Is it expected everywhere you go, though, people think that you're gonna bring some food, because I remember on the radio once Nigella came in and we all got dead excited, that Nigella was gonna come in and we spoke about on the radio for a few days before, like, ‘What do you think she's gonna do?’ And she heard it and messaged in and said, ‘Don't worry guys, I will bring breakfast.’ So, no one ate anything, and we got up at like five, and she came in about half eight, so you're like starving by then, and she brought in granola. I was like, that's not enough. Like in a little bag like that, she’s like I got you covered. No bowls, no milk, no spoons.”

HOW ED PREPARES BEFORE GOING ON STAGE

Nick Grimshaw: “What do you do to prep for your tour?”

Ed Gamble: “Prep is a very strong word for what I do. I worked out a while ago that I can't have any sort of hyping up or pumping up before a show. Cause then, I'm quite loud and energetic anyway. So, if I'm backstage going, ‘Come on, here we go, come on, show,’ I go out there and go, ‘Hello everybody [weird voice].’ So I just have to be as normal as possible before I go on, so I'll watch Masterchef. quite often. Sometimes I'll just like, hit pause and then just walk on.”

Angela Hartnett: “Really?”

Nick Grimshaw: “Just straight on.”

Angela Hartnett: “And that just relaxes you?”

Ed Gamble: “Yeah. And then I'm just, you know, if I know the show and I'm ready to do the show, it's fine.”

Angela Hartnett: “Do you have to remember everything you are saying on there? Or does it just come naturally as you're sort of telling the jokes?”

Ed Gamble: “It becomes muscle memory.”

Angela Hartnett: “Because I find that amazing that you can all remember.”

Nick Grimshaw: “It's mad in it.”

Ed Gamble: “It's muscle memory by the end, I think, so- and also you just remember the good bits. I try and keep it quite fresh every night, so if it wanders often in another direction, that's great ‘cause it makes it more exciting for me.”
