  • Sheli McCoy (Sabre): Strength, style & becoming a Gladiator
    2026/07/09

    What does strength really look like?

    In this episode of Who Are You (Wearing?), Alice Cruickshank is joined by Sheli McCoy—better known as Sabre from the BBC's Gladiators.

    A weightlifting record-holder, gym owner, educator and BAFTA winner, Sheli has built a career around strength, but as this conversation reveals, there's far more to her story than muscles and medals.

    Using fashion as a starting point, Sheli reflects on the journey to becoming Sabre, how stepping into such an iconic role has changed her life, and why discovering her personal style in her 30s has been just as empowering as breaking records in the gym.

    The conversation explores what it means to be a true "girls' girl", creating space for other women to succeed, and how confidence isn't about fitting into someone else's idea of who you should be. Sheli also shares why tailoring has transformed the way she shops, dresses and feels in her clothes, proving that great style isn't about following trends: it's about finding what works for you.

    Warm, funny and refreshingly honest, this episode is about embracing your strengths, supporting others and feeling comfortable in your own skin.

    In this episode:
    • Becoming Sabre on BBC's Gladiators

    • The journey from elite athlete to television star

    • Finding confidence and personal style in your 30s

    • What it means to be a "girls' girl"

    • Holding space for and empowering other women

  • Sanjeev Kohli: Still Game, Department Q, and dressing like... the carpet in The Shining?!
    2026/07/02

    In this episode of Who Are You (Wearing?), Alice Cruickshank is joined by actor, writer, comedian and broadcaster Sanjeev Kohli. Best known for playing the iconic Naveed in Still Game, Sanjeev reflects on the moments, memories and characters that have shaped both his career and his personal style.

    The conversation begins with an unexpected fashion confession: the cardigan Sanjeev wore to the recording turned out to feature the unmistakable carpet pattern from The Shining... and a fashion ghoul complimented him on it!

    From there, they explore his relationship with clothes, from growing up as the only brown child in his part of Glasgow and trying to blend in, to embracing a bolder sense of style that reflects who he is today.

    Sanjeev shares behind-the-scenes stories from Still Game, including how his portrayal of Naveed was inspired by his own father and what it felt like being transformed into an older version of himself. He also discusses the subtle ways costume shapes character and continues to influence his own wardrobe, from rocking tiny glasses in Dinosaur to why the wardrobe for his role in the new series of Department Q is among his favourite ever.

    The episode also looks ahead to Sanjeev's latest creative projects, including his new Scottish football anthem, Back in the Game, recorded with actor and musician Tom Urie.

  • Amy Matthews: Definitions of Toast, millennial fashion trauma & why not every joke is for everyone
    2026/06/25

    In this episode of Who Are You (Wearing?), Alice Cruickshank is joined by comedian, writer and podcaster Amy Matthews. A favourite on the Edinburgh comedy circuit, Amy's previous show I Feel Like I'm Made of Spiders was adapted into a special for ITVX, and she has also appeared on Scot Squad.

    Using fashion as a starting point, Amy reflects on personal style, growing confidence in your own taste, and why not every outfit—or every joke—needs to be understood by everyone.

    The conversation explores Amy's new Edinburgh Fringe show, Definitions of Toast, including the story behind its unusual title and why she wasn't ACTUALLY on fire for the show's promotional artwork... this time!

    Along the way, Amy and Alice dive into millennial fashion nostalgia, from Tesco Cherokee children's clothing and the questionable era of "officewear chic" on nights out, to the joy of borrowing clothes from friends and experimenting with style before everything became quite so curated.

    Amy also shares her admiration for unapologetically eccentric women, discussing why style icons such as Helena Bonham Carter feel increasingly aspirational, and why self-expression is often at its most interesting when it refuses to fit neatly into a category.

    Amy Matthews returns to the Edinburgh Fringe with Definitions of Toast at Monkey Barrel, The Tron from 5th to 30th August at 3pm (not Wednesdays). Tickets here. She will also be touring in the autumn, for more information please visit www.amymatthewscomedy.com

    • Amy's new Edinburgh Fringe show Definitions of Toast

    • Why not all comedy is for everyone (and why that's OK)

    • Tesco Cherokee nostalgia and growing up in the 2000s

    • Millennial fashion memories and officewear chic

    • Helena Bonham Carter and the rise of the eccentric fashion icon

    • Why not every look needs a label
