Episode 5 of 15

Ugo Monye checks into the B&B by the sea. Nestled on the wild coast of Northern Ireland, this 19th-century Victorian villa is a very special place.

It’s the turn of rugby star and presenter Ugo Monye to check into the B&B by the sea. Nestled on the wild coast of Northern Ireland, this 19th-century Victorian villa is a very special place.

Ugo played for both the England and Harlequins teams, but now he has retired from rugby, that hasn’t stopped his adventurous spirit. He comes to the B&B eager to get stuck into all the challenges the team throws at him. His first stop is seeing if he can bring in the catch of the day. The cold northern Atlantic waters are to thank for providing Northern Ireland with spectacular seafood, and on this trip they’re fishing for scallops. With the fresh catch, chef Alex is hoping to put Ugo to work in the kitchen preparing braised fennel, nduja and scallop stew, and for dessert, a chocolate brownie with a creamy Guinness ice cream.
