BBC Radio 4 - Saturday Live, Katie Piper

Katie Piper and the Inheritance Tracks of Jeremy Vine.

Morning magazine show. Includes 10.00am News. Richard Coles and Suzy Klein are joined by writer and presenter Katie Piper, ski champ Chemmy Alcott and embroidery guru Mr X Stitch.

Richard Coles and Suzy Klein are joined by presenter and author Katie Piper. In 2008, she survived a horrific acid attack that left her blind in one eye and required more than 200 operations. Putting the attack behind her, she launched the Katie Piper Foundation in 2009 to aid people who'd suffered similar burns and scarring. She is set to travel the country with a new Tour: What's In My Head. 

British ski champion turned Olympic commentator and Ski Sunday presenter Chemmy Alcott joins us to talk Olympics, injury and motherhood.

Listener Clive England always knew he was adopted, but until last October he wasn't sure who his birth family were. After some careful research, he tracked down them down and spent two weeks travelling across America to meet with them. 

Cross stitch traditionally conjures up images of neat samplers, pretty cottages and cute puppy dogs until you look on social media and see the diverse range of attitudes, taste and subversion going on in the genre. Unofficial cross stitch spokesperson, Mr X stitch aka Jamie Chalmers, joins us to tell us about this online revolution.

Cleo Laine and her daughter Jacqui Dankworth talk to reporter Anna Bailey about their singing careers.

We have the inheritance tracks of broadcaster Jeremy Vine who chooses Old Comrades, The Band of HM Royal Marines and Elvis Costello's Lipstick Vogue.

Katie Piper is touring the UK with What's In My Head.
