Winter Olympics Special - sponsored by Crystal Ski Holidays

In this week’s special Winter Olympics episode, we’ve got an absolute cracker.

We’re joined by TNT Sports presenter and former Olympian Charlie Guest, who shares what she loved most about the Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics, what it was really like being there on the ground, and which British athletes we should be watching as the next generation builds momentum. From historic breakthroughs to near misses, she gives us her expert take on the future of Team GB on snow and ice.

We also sit down with the one and only Eddie the Eagle Edwards. Eddie talks candidly about what it really takes to become an Olympic ski jumper, how different the pathway looks today compared to his era, and why he doesn’t actually follow the sport as closely anymore. As always, he brings honesty, perspective and a few laughs along the way.

And of course, we dive into the stories that made these Games unforgettable. From 52 year old Austrian snowboarders defying age, to political controversy on the slopes, broken Olympic medals, funky skeleton helmets being banned, weather chaos, viral suit reveals, backflips in figure skating, and even a rogue wolfdog called Nazgul interrupting cross country racing. Yes, really.

We touch on Team GB’s historic snowboard cross gold, the big winners and heartbreak stories, and the bizarre off piste drama that included public confessions and that ski jumping controversy everyone was talking about.

It’s insight, opinion, drama and plenty of weird and wonderful Olympic moments — so let’s get stuck in.
