Adrian Chiles hosts Chiles on Friday on BBC Radio 5 Live. He co-presented both The One Show and Daybreak, and was for five years the chief presenter for ITV Sport's football coverage. He writes a regular column in both the Guardian and the Sun, which not many people can claim. His previous book, We Don't Know What We're Doing, was about obsessive West Bromwich Albion fans.
