Nadiya Hussain, Freddie Flintoff, Chris Harris and Travis all join Zoe Ball.

TV cook and writer Nadiya Hussain, Top Gear presenters Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris and Travis all join Zoe Ball on the show for a Friends Phone In Friday.

TV cook and writer Nadiya Hussain is chatting to Zoe about her latest book and BBC series 'Nadiya Bakes'. She won the Great British Bake Off in 2015 and has since gone on to be a judge on Junior Bake Off, write a novel and present her own two part documentary in Bangladesh called The Chronicles of Nadiya. Top Gear presenters Freddie Flintoff and Chris Harris phone into the show to tell Zoe about the latest series and the adventures they'll be having. Along with Paddy McGuinness they go bigger than ever, as they test new cars, old cars and their own physical endurance to the very limit. This time around, they’ll be tackling a giant Wall of Death in old insurance write-offs, downhill skiing in holiday hire cars, unveiling a go-anywhere fully electric powered ice-cream van for the twenty-first century, and attempting to survive 24 hours in their cars.  All topped off with Top Gear’s traditional condiments – exotic supercars, fast laps and The Stig – and brought to you from the show’s new studio set-up: a drive-in studio on the Top Gear test track. 
Fran Healy from Travis chats to Zoe about their latest album '10 Songs' and the band have recorded two special live tracks for the show. Co-produced by both Fran and Baynton, and recorded at RAK Studio, ’10 Songs’ is about the way life comes at love and what love does to weather those challenges. The Travis back catalogue includes the classics like Writing To Reach You, Why Does It Always Rain On Me? and Sing.

Along with Tina Daheley on news, Richie Anderson on travel and Mike Williams on sport, Zoe and the team have the best start to your morning.

There's also a daily Pause For Thought and listeners on the line, as Zoe entertains the nation with fun for the family!
