FROM THE CELLAR: Jeff Stelling
Q: What motivated you to speak openly about eating disorders on air, and how did that shape public conversation?

WEEKEND WINE QUESTION TIME: Ben Shephard
Q: Can you tell us a story that would sound unbelievable but is true?
Yes—an unforgettable night at a chateau in Bordeaux where a misjudged drink led to a small fire alarm fiasco that brought in a fire engine, all while no one was harmed and the guests slept through it the next day.

Q: Question two focuses on your unlikely friendships. How did they form, and how have they impacted your life and career?
Friendships like the one with Claire Sweeney and other figures from the estate and London nightlife became a source of grounding and authenticity.
