So it doesn't sort of feel like, I used to say like I'd rather meet Diane Morgan and meet my dad.

And luckily I did.

This week on Walking the Dog, Ray and I went for a stroll with the brilliantly talented comedy actor and writer Lucia Keskin,

who's best known for being the star and creator of the BAFTA-winning BBC series, Things You Should Have Done.

with her mum and her very hands-on grandparents, which is partly why she thinks she's a bit of an

adored she and i know you will too the best news is she fell so in love with ray she's already been in touch
