The Guardian has announced that it will be launching Comfort Eating with Grace Dent, a new weekly food podcast, sponsored by Ocado.

In an attempt to find others with a penchant for comfort food, the new podcast will see Grace invite a different famous face into her kitchen each week to lift the lid on what they like to eat when they are home alone or feeling lazy.

Grace’s celebrity guests will also discuss some of the most meaningful moments in their lives and the foods that helped them through those times, with each person bringing in their favourite snack to share with Grace and enjoy (or not) together.

The first episode hears from Russell T Davies, with upcoming guests including businesswoman Deborah Meaden, comedian Nish Kumar, Drag Race UK winner Lawrence Chaney, writer Candice Carty-Williams and actor Rafe Spall.

Comfort Eating with Grace Dent will launch on Tuesday 15 June, with new episodes releasing weekly every Tuesday. The podcast can be listened to on theguardian.com/audio, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Acast or the podcast app of your choice.
