Season 3
Episodes
Ann Widdecombe
In the first of a four-part series, Fern Britton talks to Ann Widdecombe, whose feisty public approach as a politician once earned her the title of 'Doris Karloff'. Ann transformed her image when she moved from the floor of the House of Commons to the shiny floor of Strictly Come Dancing. Her faith has gone through a dramatic change, too; she became a high-profile convert to Catholicism after she became disillusioned with liberal reforms in the Anglican Church. Throughout it all, she spoke her mind, and does so again to Fern Britton.
Katherine Jenkins
In the second in her series of Advent interviews, Fern Britton talks to the girl from the Welsh valleys who has become a global singing star. Katherine Jenkins speaks candidly about her upbringing, the loss of her father, her love of music and her extraordinary determination to succeed. She has sold millions of albums and found fame and fortune - but what role does her Christian faith play? Friends and family give their unique perspective, and Fern explores the values that guide the singer's life.
Russell Watson

But Russell Watson counts his blessings every day, because he has fought off one illness that threatened his career and two brain tumours that threatened his life. Fern Britton talks to the singer known simply as The Voice.
