While Jo Brand is about to set off on another walking challenge after her epic Sport Relief challenge in 2016, and talks to Joe Crowley about her efforts.

Angela Scanlon will be on the sofa tonight. The presenter covered for Alex Jones while she was on maternity leave, and is back to cover the Bank Holiday show.

Who is John Barrowman?
Arrow and Doctor Who star John Barrowman will be gracing the sofa with Ore and Angela. But he won’t be discussing one of his famous sci-fi roles this time.

John and Carole have written a whopping six novels together, while he has also written three autobiographies.
The latest book, Nephilim, is the second book in a series about a boy who can alter reality with his mind.
