This week on Comfort Eating, Grace is joined by Bafta-nominated actor, writer and producer Samson Kayo. Samson has been gracing our screens for more than a decade, starring in shows such as Channel 4’s Youngers, Sky’s sitcom Bloods and HBO’s Our Flag Means Death. Now, he’s currently celebrating the release of two blockbusters, Voltron and F1, in which he stars alongside the likes of Brad Pitt, Damson Idris and Javier Bardem. Raised in south London by his single mother and a revolving cast of ‘aunties’, Samson lived on a unique blend of Nigerian stew, Morleys fried chicken, and pie and mash.
He and Grace discuss it all – from illicit biscuits, accidental sex parties and dodgy DVDs to fatherhood, faith and the art of the pizza delivery. Nothing is off the table
