This podcast is sponsored by Pet Plan who are the UK's number one pet insurer.

I've always used Pet Plan for Raymond as they cover things other insurers don't

and they can even pay your vet directly, which can be a big help. No Raymond that doesn't mean you can spend

all the extra cash on treats. Terms, conditions and excesses apply. Pet plan is a

trading name of Allian's Insurance PLC.

Look at this beautiful old ruin!

Please don't refer to me like that.

This week on Walking the Dog,

I went for a walk with a man whose wit is as sharp as his very dad. the will stand-up career, he's become a hilarious fixture on TV in the last few years.

You may have seen him on 8 out of 10 cats and locked the week, and he's also the king of the

spin-offs hosting Bake-Off the professionals and the apprentice you're fired.

Tom loves dogs.

He doesn't have a dog himself, so I took him for a stroll with Ray and introduced him to one of my favorite

green spaces in the city of London,

Postman's Park, which features this really beautiful

Victorian set of memorials to everyday heroes.

Tom and I chatted about his childhood in southeast London, and how he always felt slightly different to everyone else,

his strong work ethic and the awkwardness of being set up on dates with friends.

It was such a lovely morning, so much though that I think I may have asked

Tom to marry me at one point. I mean I realize I don't tick the right box on the gender front,

but imagine that wedding. Ray! the right excited on getting about the podcast. I hope you enjoy it. Here's Tom.

I'm going to follow you because you look...
