At the height of her swimming career, our guest this week Sam Riley won the hearts of the country as she powered her way to Olympic medals, Commonwealth Games glory, world records and world championships.

Sam chats to us about food, family, her memories of being an elite athlete on the world stage and her life today as a busy wife and mum.

And with the warmer weather on the way, Sam has a timely reminder about the importance of teaching kids to swim from a very early age.

Then we jump straight from the pool into the frying pan, with a hot topic for our Food Poll this week: Fried chicken ... yay or nay?

Allan Raskall could never be accused of being one of televisions beige presenters. Allan's unique style has been lighting up our television screens for more than 30 years. After decades on the road covering the hard news, Allan found his happy place rubbing shoulders with the stars and bringing their stories to life. Allan's mad for classic cars, tea and coffee, and shares with us a cooking tip that is an absolute bottler.

It's a wintry blast for the weekly Food Poll. Can we tempt you with pea and ham soup?

Soon to be seen in series 3 of The Traitors on Channel 10, Alvin Quah is a well known face thanks to his two standout seasons on MasterChef.

Alvin gives us an insight into the machinations of The Traitors and some special memories of his MasterChef days as well. He is proudly Malaysian born and his insight to the best food from his homeland is brilliant. We also learn of Alvin's little-known skill that has absolutely nothing to do with cooking or television cameras, but one he shares with Sarah.

When Kevin asked Sarah what the Food Poll for this week was going to be, 'She just smiled and gave him a Vegemite sandwich.' So keeping the show as bright as bright can be, we ask are you a happy little Vegemite sandwich eater or not?
