Summary

This week Chris’s guests brought laughter, foodie tales and all sorts of sauce.

Stephen Merchant popped in to chat about his new wrestling flick, "Fighting with my Family" and his buddy Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.

James Martin shared a few secrets from behind the scenes of foodie tv shows, before asking the big questions, such as: Is a hot dog a sandwich?. All that with a side order of your cheeky Valentines messages.

Then Rugby star James Haskell shared his tips on being a renaissance man, taking us from sport to nutrition and writing a book, all whilst staying on top of your Instagram.

All that and much more from the busiest breakfast show on the radio. Enjoy!
