Judi Love is one of five born to her Jamaican parents in Hackney, East London. Always the funny one in the family, she gained a Masters in social work before kicking off her career in stand-up. In 2011, she made her professional debut with a show named after her motto in life, Laughter Is Healing. Since then, Judi’s comedy and culinary skills have given rise to a broadcasting career. She is a much-loved regular on Loose Women and won the Celebrity MasterChef, Christmas Cook Off in 2021. Judi is here to talk about her new show, Judi Love’s Culinary Cruise, which is available now on ITVX.
Nick mixes a non-alcoholic picante for Judi, while she enjoys some plantain crisps with homemade guacamole to start. Angela prepares some delicious Korean crispy spiced chicken with gochujang mayo and a charred smashed cucumber salad. The experts at Waitrose pair this with a De Grendel Sauvignon Blanc from South Africa.
This episode is full of laughs and plenty of food chat. Angela shares a guacamole confession, while Judi talks about a recent family trip to Japan and tells Nick and Ange about the Jamaican festive favourites that helped her scoop the Celebrity MasterChef crown.
