Kate Garraway is joined by entertainer, author and Strictly Come Dancing star Anton Du Beke. From his struggles growing up on a council estate in Kent to winning a National Television Award for best TV judge, Kate delves into Du Beke's remarkable rise from a provincial dance school to one of the biggest shows on British television. But behind the showbiz sparkle, we'll hear how Anton went through many years of struggle, some of which he speaks about for the very first time.
Ruby Wax
The presenter is joined by comedian, performer and author Ruby Wax. Kate looks back at her acting, presenting career, and how her writing talent has created some of the most memorable characters in comedy. Ruby reveals the relationship she had with her parents growing up in America's Midwest, and how she escaped the trauma of her childhood by running away to drama school on the other side of the world.
Omid Djalili
This time, the presenter is joined in conversation by the Iranian-British actor, comedian and writer Omid Djalili. Omid reveals how this erratic home life led to a slightly chequered school career which saw him take his A levels a record six times, forge his A level results, and get turned down from 16 drama schools. Against all the odds, Omid's acting career flourished and his credits range from Hollywood films to the West End stage, and he tells Kate why he made the important decision to continue writing jokes about race and religion, even when his own personal safety was under threat.
