    Jamie dedicated his entire playing career to his beloved Leeds Rhinos, becoming one of the defining figures of the club's most successful era. As part of the famous "Golden Generation" alongside the late Rob Burrow, Kevin Sinfield and so many other greats, he helped the Rhinos win seven Super League Grand Finals, three World Club Challenges and a Challenge Cup, while also representing England and Great Britain.

He also talks about the importance of family and faith, the legacy of the Golden Generation, and his vision for the future of the sport and the communities it serves.

    Amy Walsh: Emmerdale, Baby Nell and the Walsh Sisters

    Amy recently filmed Tracy's emotional exit from the village — but only temporarily, as she takes a well-earned break to welcome her second baby, Nell, who makes her own gurgling debut during the recording. In a warm and honest conversation, Amy tells Matt and Christine about becoming a mum for the second time, how Emmerdale viewers reacted to her pregnancy news, and what it's been like bringing the complex character of Tracy to life. She shares hilarious stories about growing up in Bradford with her famous sisters — Girls Aloud star Kimberley Walsh and former Emmerdale actress Sally Walsh — including the unforgettable moment they "trained" her to cry. Amy also reflects on forging her own path as an actress, tackling Tracy's powerful postnatal depression storyline, and why she and her husband, actor Toby-Alexander Smith, felt compelled to make a new film about the impact of depression on young fathers. Plus her time as a Celebrity MasterChef finalist, her love of cooking, and the surprising way she first met Toby — in the audience of Strictly Come Dancing.
