Jo Whiley's Secret Gravy Ingredient and Love Actually Cameo Revealed

Jo Whiley has revealed her unconventional Christmas dinner hack, admitting she adds ketchup to her gravy. The 60-year-old DJ told the Dig It podcast that her husband, Steve Morton, was horrified when he discovered the secret ingredient last year, despite having praised the gravy for years.

Whiley explained that the ketchup gives the gravy a slightly vinegary taste that everyone loves. She insisted she will continue using the unusual combo despite her husband's disapproval.

In other Christmas news, Whiley reminisced about her cameo in the film Love Actually, where she voiced the DJ who plays Jump (For My Love) by the Pointer Sisters before Hugh Grant's iconic dance. She recalled the line: 'It's almost enough to make you feel patriotic, so here's one for our arse-kicking prime minister.'
