Obsessions sees a panel of celebrities sharing their secret obsessions with the listener, and have them celebrated, challenged and dissected by the host.
Obsessions brings together a panel of unlikely bedfellows with even more unlikely interests, and we find out what hidden passions, knowledge or collections some well-known people hold close to their hearts.
Each week alongside the panel, the host seeks out the VOP (Very Obsessed Person) of the week, to celebrate their truly extraordinary passions. The host also quizzes the audience to find out what the Great British public are obsessed with at the moment.
Joe Lycett hosted the first two series, with Ivo Graham resurrecting the format in 2024.
