Emeli Sandé is taking a duvet day and opening up about writing her new album Real Life, growing up as the only person of colour at her school, and putting her shyness aside.

The chart topping singer songwriter snuggles up in Abby Hollick’s bed to talk about how splitting from her manager and husband changed her, how she’s dealt with losing her mind at the Olympics, and how a guy in the park with a prison tag stopped her from quitting the music industry altogether.

Plus, she shares her love of Eternal and Mariah Carey, explains why her sister is her best friend and tells Abby how her dad gave her the confidence to succeed.

Grab a cuppa and a biscuit and join Abby and Emeli as they chat fame, being the nerdy shy kid, wanting her music to heal people, and why she built a studio in her East London home.
