This week Emily and Ray head to the Sussex countryside for a stroll with wine expert, author and Saturday Kitchen favourite Olly Smith, alongside his adorable dog Busby.

You’ll likely know Olly from his regular appearances on BBC One’s Saturday Kitchen, as well as shows like House of Games and The Wheel. But beyond the screen, he’s had a fascinating journey, from growing up in Jersey to singing as a chorister at King’s College, Cambridge, and discovering his love of wine while working at a local merchant’s.

On the walk, Olly chats to Emily about his early career as a TV and film writer, including working on Charlie and Lola and even Pingu, before finding his true calling in wine. They also talk about his brand new crime novel Death by Noir, a brilliantly funny and fast-paced mystery set in the world of wine. It’s out this June and available to pre-order now from all major booksellers. Links can be found on Olly's website.

Warm, funny and full of life, Olly is exactly the kind of person you instantly feel better for spending time with, and Busby more than holds his own alongside Ray.
