Linford Christie

Episode 8 of 15

Linford Christie checks into the B&B. He is taking a break from his coaching to reflect on his career, as well as embracing the itinerary the B&B team have set.

Britain’s fastest ever sprinter, Linford Christie, checks into the B&B hoping to make quick work of the daily tasks. He is taking a break from his coaching to reflect on his career, as well as embracing the itinerary the B&B team have set for the sporting legend.

Whilst at the B&B, Linford discovers a true taste of Northern Ireland’s coast – a local honey flavoured with the wildflowers that decorate this spectacular coastline. With the help of the resident chef, Alex, they create an epic feast of spiced spatchcocked chicken and strawberry trifle, all sweetened up with this local delicacy.

Linford has only recently learned to swim, and the B&B team know there’s no fresher dip that jumping into waters off Northern Ireland’s coast. Sharon takes Linford open-water swimming, a truly memorable experience for any newbie swimmer. And before Linford checks out, he takes another crack in the kitchen, whipping up some fluffy pancakes for the B&B brunch.
