This week Paul is joined in the studio by comedian, actor and rockstar Nick Helm for a dinner party where the guests can expect great food, great music and any drink they like...as long as it’s Pepsi Max Cherry.

The ‘Uncle’ star also discusses the stress of wedding seating plans, whether Jason Statham and Tina Turner should sit together and what to do when you find yourself front row at a Dolly Parton gig (clue: don’t go to the toilet)
