The guitar player and backing singer’s lips are sealed when it comes to the meal his family and invited guest ate that Christmas. Billy speaks with great warmth about moving in to live with his ‘nan’ as a young teenager and how she ‘spoilt me rotten’ with the homecooked meals he’d smell as soon as he came in the door.

Shane MacGowan’s widow joins Kevin Dundon and Caoimhe Young in the kitchen to chat about the homecooked meals she loved growing up, her angel art and, of course, the love of her life. Victoria tells Under the Grill: “Shane is very much with me. It’s weird, sometimes I feel Shane experiencing things through me. It’s almost like he’s going, ‘go to that movie, I want to see it’. Or ‘talk to that person’, or ‘say that joke, I want to say that joke’. The Dubliner is a guest in the Under the Grill kitchen, coming up to the second anniversary of the death of The Pogues frontman. Victoria says she finds solace in her belief in angels and is set to display her angel paintings for the first time ever in an exhibition in Dublin. She says: “Shane would be delighted; he was always nagging me to display my art.” Kevin cooks Victoria Clarke’s Chickpea Burgers, with curry and cashew nuts, topped with tomatoes and a peanut chilli dressing, similar to a recipe Victoria’s mum used to make over an open fire, when her family lived in Wicklow.
