Soup and Take That. Both equally essential to the life of Sara Pascoe – but sadly for her, only one of them is ending up in a bowl this week… What could it be? Comedian and writer Sara Pascoe joins Nick and Angela, bringing her trademark mix of warmth, chaos and unwavering devotion to Take That. She tells us all about Zero Stars, her new TLC series with Roisin Conaty, where the pair travel the world reviewing the worst‑rated places they can find. With a stand‑up show later that night, Sara swaps wine for a black coffee while Angela serves up Dish’s first ever minestrone – a vegan twist on Martha Collison’s recipe, using vegetable stock and vegan cheese. For those not heading onstage afterwards, the Waitrose wine experts pair it with a Blueprint Gavi. And if you relate to Nick’s lifelong soup‑office trauma… rest assured, by the end he’s proudly declaring himself “a soup guy.” Around the table, emotions run high – from celeb‑spotting nights out at Hollywoods, Sara’s childhood fantasy of rescuing Take That on the side of the motorway, to the heartbreak of their breakup, and even a confession about her husband’s roast potatoes, delivered with the kind of honesty only soup can unlock.
