Table for Four

Listen for free

Hosted by Mathew Horne and Joanna Page, each episode of Table for Four brings two hosts and a celebrity duo around the table for an honest, funny and revealing conversation. Whether they’re a married couple, an on-screen pairing, lifelong friends or creative collaborators, the format stays the same: four voices, one table, and no rush to leave. Across the series, Mathew and Joanna invite some of the most recognisable partnerships in entertainment to talk about how they really work together. From first meetings and shared successes to tensions, misunderstandings and moments that changed everything, the conversation goes far beyond the surface. Expect laughter, candour and the occasional curveball, as guests open up about what it takes to maintain a partnership in public, private and everything in between. There’s no formal interview, no press-junket polish, just relaxed conversation guided by curiosity and warmth. Food acts as the backdrop rather than the focus, creating a space where guests can settle in, let their guard down and talk freely about their lives, careers and relationships. At its heart, Table for Four is about connection: how partnerships are formed, how they survive change, and what happens when two people choose to keep showing up for each other. It’s a celebration of collaboration, companionship and the stories that only emerge when you sit down together and stay awhile.Immediate Art Cooking Food & Wine

  • Kathy Lette & Ronni Ancona: Best Friends, Polar Opposites

    Kathy Lette & Ronni Ancona: Best Friends, Polar Opposites
    Jul 9 2026
    Best-selling author Kathy Lette and award-winning impressionist Ronni Ancona join Matt and Joanna for a riotous episode that veers from kitchen catastrophes and Nigella impressions to the power of female friendship, feminism, and fabulous second acts. The pair, who became instant best friends the moment they started insulting each other, swap stories about a disastrous hostel holiday on the Amalfi Coast, singing ABBA with Frida in a Glaswegian accent, and why Kathy has burnt down three kitchens. Along the way, they tackle the serious side too — ageism in the entertainment industry, Ronni's explosive new role in EastEnders, and Kathy's latest novel championing sisterhood in a world where women's rights are under threat — all while proving that the best ingredient in any meal is brilliant company.

    Dawn O’Porter & Gemma Cairney: How to champion your friends
    Jun 25 2026
    This week on Table for Four, Joanna Page and Mathew Horne are joined by broadcaster, author and campaigner Gemma Cairney and bestselling writer Dawn O’Porter for a joyful celebration of true friendship. Dawn and Gemma’s bond is unmistakable. Over broad bean and feta toasts, Tuscan chicken and a tropical mango roulade, they look back on 16 years of friendship, from meeting in Australia and instantly falling for each other, to wild nights in LA, unforgettable parties, motherhood, career milestones and the friends they’ve loved and lost along the way. They talk movingly about what it means to really champion another woman, to feel safe and nourished in someone’s company, and to have the kind of friendship that carries you through every stage of life. There are tears, huge laughs, a little chaos, and one very memorable taxi story that proves Dawn’s devotion beyond doubt. A heartwarming episode about food, sisterhood, belonging and the people who become family.
