S2 Ep 11: Oli Bell - Hitting His Stride

Pippa Funnell and Tristan Phipps are joined by ITV Racing’s Oli Bell, one of the most recognisable faces in British horse racing. From his early start as a teenage reporter to fronting coverage of the Grand National, Oli shares the highs, the chaos, plus the occasional royal run-in.

He opens up about growing up in a famous racing family, what it’s really like behind the scenes on race day, and how the conversation around equine welfare is shaping the sport’s future.

Plus, Pippa and Tristan tackle your questions and face off in a frantic round of Photo Finish, and let’s just say, Pippa’s competitive streak is out in full force.
