Andi Oliver meets drag queen and star of RuPaul's Drag Race UK Cheryl Hole to discuss her favourite food: lasagne. Cheryl's a true diva who prefers to be cooked for, but she can still turn out a mean Essex lasagne just as her mum did.

Andi and Cheryl learn about the greedy friar whose lasagne gluttony made it into a 13th century Italian poem, get geeky about how swelling starch molecules hold the key to the perfect bechamel and both Andi and Cheryl admit to some frankly shocking cold lasagne related behaviour.
