<p>This week Emily and Ray head to the Sussex countryside for a stroll with wine expert, author and <em>Saturday Kitchen</em> favourite <strong>Olly Smith</strong>, alongside his adorable dog Busby.</p><br><p>You’ll likely know Olly from his regular appearances on BBC One’s <em>Saturday Kitchen</em>, as well as shows like <em>House of Games</em> and <em>The Wheel</em>. 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.</p><br><p>On the walk, Olly chats to Emily about his early career as a TV and film writer, including working on <em>Charlie and Lola</em> and even <em>Pingu</em>, before finding his true calling in wine. They also talk about his brand new crime novel <em>Death by Noir</em>, 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.
