Kelly's Heroes Craig Kelly

Jonathan puts down his paint brushes to talk to me from his Chelsea artist studio. We reminisce about playing poker in Cardiff with Martin Amis and Sir Clive Sinclair. We natter about the tequila drink diet, meeting the great Lucian Freud, the infamous George Bush porn collage portrait and the secret to knocking up the perfect light and fluffy taramasalata. He tells me what it’s like to paint portraits over FaceTime. We discuss the launch of his exciting brand new VR Jonathan Yeo studio app. He also divulges his own all time favourite portrait and his singalong song choice Walk On The Wild Side which we both duet at the end. Oh and he reveals his creative superpower too.

Join me to hear this week’s catch up with Tamzin Outhwaite. We talk about filming Dun breedin’ with Julie Graham during lock down, riding around on a heavy orange bike and eating her favourite New York style sandwich. Who knew dancer Louie Spence can eat one whilst doing a shoulder leg stretch, just ask Liz Hurley. We also chat about her time on Eastenders, she reveals the secret of her success and how brilliant it was to work with those amazing iconic characters. She also chats about her love of theatre and how incredible it was to work with the excellent Jamie Lloyd and Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke in the west end play The Seagull and reveals when we can all see it on the West End stage. We finish the conversation with a lovely soulful duet.

Richard speaks to me from his home in east London. We talk about his breakthrough role in the hit comedy BBC TV series Coupling, his massive current Netflix show Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and his experience of filming it in Vancouver. We also chat about his love of gardening, how it helped him beat the bullies and how he has named the climbing rose in his back garden Foopint. He also tells me how it feels to go on a West End stage while starring opposite Gwyneth Paltrow knowing Bono is in the audience, filming with Johnny Depp in The Libertine, who pranked him, he then reveals when being directed by Madonna she liked to call him Dickie.

We talk about his exciting upcoming film 'Mangrove' directed by the brilliant Steve McQueen, he reveals his favourite flavour, opening his West End play Blue/Orange the night before the Twin Tower terrorist attack in 2001. He lets me know how it felt to be on a BLM march in L.A recently, how important his breakout hit film 'Human Traffic' was, working with John Simm and how much fun it was to film. Shaun also tells me about the 'hush don't tell no one channel' and we explain why 11:11 is very special to us.

A special message from Craig 

Julie talks to me from her house in Brighton. We chat about her catchphrase 'Hello baby', the time at the Donmar Warehouse in our sell out play Helpless, where knickers were actually thrown at the curtain call and when Sam Mendes brought his recently won oscars backstage at press night as one of the actors snatched the Oscar from his hand to practice their acceptance speech in the mirror. We also talk about working with national treasure Martin Clunes multiple times and wandering around hotel corridors naked in the middle of the night. We discuss how she wrote and got her online TV series Dun breedin' made and aired during lockdown.
Julie also tells me her fantasy dinner party guests, why she wants her next part to be a clairvoyant, how much fun those Peugeot 106 ads were and of course reveals and sings her favourite song.
