Emma Freud has SO many. Coming from a famous family (her great grandad was Sigmund, her father Clement, her uncle Lucien) might, you think, be enough to make an interesting life, but Emma has always been bubbling along the top of the broadcasting hierarchy, plus her life partner is film maker Richard Curtis. On top of that, she’s now been awarded an OBE for her work with Comic Relief. It’s meant she’s met some of the most interesting people all over the world, at the most interesting times.

It makes her a great interviewee, too!
