    From dog whisperer to ballroom dancer… Graeme Hall is entering the Celebrity Trenches. The UK’s most famous dog trainer joins Jamie East ahead of his Strictly Come Dancing debut to reveal what it’s actually like behind the sequins. From not knowing who his dance partner is to the brutal reality of rehearsals and his rather chaotic history with Strictly Northampton. But there’s much more to Graeme than teaching dogs to sit. He tells Jamie how he went from spending 21 years working at Weetabix to accidentally becoming a professional dog trainer, why he reckons the humans are usually the real problem and the surprisingly emotional reason Britain is so obsessed with dogs! Graeme opens up about the life-changing health issue that put his dancing dreams on hold and how an old dance bag in his loft ended up coming back into his life just in time for Strictly.

    Tony Parsons is in the Trenches

    Best-selling author and legendary journalist Tony Parsons has spent 50 years in the trenches of celebrity, journalism and pop culture…and he’s got the stories to prove it. He joins Jamie to go right back to the beginning from answering an advert looking for “young gunslingers” at the NME to interviewing the Sex Pistols, Bowie, Fleetwood Mac and countless other icons during the most chaotic years of rock ’n’ roll. Tony tells us about his friendship with George Michael including the surprisingly generous deal the star insisted on giving him and reflects on what made George such a special person. He also talks about the phenomenal success of ‘Man & Boy’, the highs and lows of a career that has seen him become a multimillion-selling author and why even huge success doesn’t always mean you’re set for life. Tony lets us into what his new novel ‘Man & Dog’ has in store for us and why a dog could just change your life for the better. Welcome back to the celebrity trenches!
