Summary

It was a big night for the pod at the RPA awards as Danny and Ashy both picked up silverware. Danny chats to Chris about winning the special merit award and his wife Jodie makes her pod debut.

Ashy arrives fashionably late but brings Leicester team-mate Freddie Steward onto the pod after he took home two prizes, including England player of the year.
