Born and raised in Swaziland (Eswatini), Richard E. Grant moved to London in 1982 after studying drama at Cape Town University. He worked extensively in theatre before achieving widespread recognition in the cult classic Withnail and I in 1987. Richard had notable roles in Can You Ever Forgive Me?, for which he received an Academy Award nomination, as well as The Iron Lady, Star Wars: Episode IX and Saltburn. Richard has appeared in some of the biggest shows on TV, including Doctor Who, Downton Abbey, Game of Thrones and Loki. His new show, The Franchise, is available to watch on Sky Comedy and NOW.

Nick pours Richard a cranberry juice on ice, while Angela prepares one of his favourite dishes, spaghetti with chilli and parsley mussels. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a Blueprint Greek White Wine.

Richard E. Grant has been on the Dish dream-guest list since the beginning, and he does not disappoint. Our trio talks about salt pouches, Saltburn and why Richard likes to give everything the sniff test.
