Since graduating from Durham University, Ed Gamble has become one of the UK\u2019s most successful stand-up comedians. He\u2019s been a Taskmaster champion, a Pointless host and one of the Hunted on Channel 4.

And his \u201cOff Menu\u201d series with James Acaster is one of the most listened-to podcasts in the UK \u2013 where guests choose their ideal meal.

But Ed's own love of food hasn\u2019t always been easy. He has Type One Diabetes...and has spoken, and written, movingly about his complicated relationship with eating and weight.

In an interview a couple of years ago he said: I can\u2019t tell day-to- day whether I\u2019m arrogant or I hate myself, but I think somewhere in-between is absolutely ideal for a comedian.
