We’re back with the brilliant Luke Evans in St James’s Park! And guess what... he’s still carrying Raymond!

Luke tells us how he went from being a jobbing actor to a Hollywood movie star - and he tells us an extraordinary story about one of the ways he made money when he needed it…

We chat about how it felt to have his sexuality under scrutiny again after he broke through to stardom and what happened after left his religion.

And, of course, we chat about Beauty and The Beast. Luke also treated us to a couple of bars of Gaston… much to the surprise and delight of the general public in St James’s Park!

This week, we’re in London’s St James’s Park with Luke Evans!

Raymond and Luke pretty much fell in love with each other from the moment they met - Ray spent the entire walk cradled in Luke’s arms… lucky Raymond, eh?!

Growing up, Luke had a collection of cats and an aviary of birds with his parents, who were Jehovah’s Witnesses. He opens up about how that affected his childhood, and how it feels to have written about it in his autobiography. He tells us how he came to terms with his sexuality in a religion which had no tolerance for homosexuality, and his rather brilliant grandma!

We’re back at home with Cherry Healey and her beautiful cat House Party!

Cherry tells us all about how her brilliant career as a documentary maker started thanks to a conversation by a fridge at a house party, how she felt after throwing up on TV and how she navigated complicated feelings about losing her dad.

We also find out all about series nine of Inside The Factory - with her new co-presenter Paddy McGuinness. You can watch their Christmas special over the festive period - and catch the new series on BBC One in early 2025.
