Brian Conley on leaving Eastenders, the pivotal roles in his career, and ruining a potential friendship with Tom Cruise
Joining us today, fresh off his departure from Eastenders is seasoned actor and self-styled “The Greatest Entertainer in his price range” - the lovely Brian Conley!
After only announcing his departure last week, we chat about his time in Albert Square and how he’s keen to get stuck in to lots of other projects. We also talk about how tough times at school were the catalyst to him constantly looking to do more, some of his favourite stage performances and how he once offered Tom Cruise and Nicole Kidman some… private time with him and his wife. You’ll have to listen to believe it!

Something from the Ballroom: Janette & Aljaž
With the biggest show on British TV back on our screens, we’re taking another trip to the Cellar to revisit conversations with Strictly legends. Today, it’s two of the show’s most famous professional dancers turned man and wife: Janette Manrara & Aljaž Škorjanec!
We chat about how they came to end up on the show, Janette’s transition from the dance floor to the TV sofa and how they’ve helped each other choreograph some of the show’s most famous routines. Plus, we play a round of Mr and Mrs and they each share their own versions of their love story. Spoiler: they differ a fair bit!

Rosemary Shrager on her challenging upbringing, sofa surfing in her 40s, and globetrotting with ‘The Real Marigold Hotel’
Today, we have a true culinary maestro joining us. She’s a beloved chef and cookery teacher who has transformed countless (hopeless) home cooks into confident culinary wizards – the one and only Rosemary Shrager!
You may fondly remember Rosemary’s debut on ‘Ladette to Lady’, where she worked her magic on the wayward and turned them into refined ladies. But Rosemary’s talents don’t stop at the stove. She’s appeared on hit TV shows including ‘I’m A Celebrity’ and ‘The Real Marigold Hotel’, and is now a published author, adding a thrilling twist to her repertoire with her second crime novel, ‘The Proof in the Pudding.’

Something from the Ballroom: Craig Revel Horwood
With Strictly back on our screens this Saturday, we thought it was a perfect time to look back at some of the BBC ballroom beauties who have graced the WWQT dancefloor over the past four and a half years. First up, it’s judge, jury and executioner, Craig Revel Horwood!
Craig opens up about his remarkable life gallivanting across stages all over the world, how open he is to tough love coming back around, and ways he’s sought to improve his mental and physical health in an often brutal industry.
You can listen to the second part of our chat with Craig here!

Something from the Cellar: Music makers
For many of our previous guests, music encapsulates and reminds them of their best and worst moments. For others, as is the case with our guests today, making that amazing music is their calling.
Raye tells us about sidling up to Beyoncé and David Guetta thanks to her songwriting, while former X Factor contestant Ella Henderson talks about using her music as therapy during life’s tough challenges. Elsewhere, Tom Grennan reminisces about how he (quite literally) stumbled upon his amazing talent!
You can listen to these episodes in full here: Raye, Ella Henderson and Tom Grennan (with Vick Hope)

Customer Reviews
Naturally honest
Although celebrities everyone I have listened to so far seem to be genuinely talking truthfully
Sound quality poor
I often find that the sound quality is very poor. Either Kate herself is miles away from the mike or the guest is. The sound then isn’t balanced so that one person is so much louder than the other. This detracts from Kate’s brilliant interviews. I’ve just had to stop listening to the Rosemary Shrager one as she’s so much quieter than Kate. To hear RS I’d have to have Kale bellowing. Happens too many times to ignore.
Fabulous
Fabulous interviews, and so entertaining
