In the lively realm of Saturday Kitchen Live, Wolverhampton’s very own sensation, Beverley Knight, once again showcased her unyielding love for her hometown. The British soul singer, hailed as “Wolverhampton’s finest,” took center stage on BBC One to discuss her recent album, “The Fifth Chapter,” and to defend her beloved city against a surprising critic – celebrity chef Rick Stein.
A Celebration of Life at 50
Beverley Knight, with her trademark candor, shared insights into her latest musical venture, “The Fifth Chapter,” during the Saturday morning appearance. The album, released in September, serves as a jubilant nod to the artist’s entrance into the “magic” age of 50. Knight expressed her desire to “celebrate” and “embrace” this milestone, challenging societal norms that often perceive it as a ‘marker of decline’ for women.
Reflecting on the challenges posed by the Covid lockdown, Beverley spoke passionately about the privilege of growing older. “It is a privilege to get to 50,” she remarked, “and I absolutely wanted to celebrate and embrace it.” Her unapologetic stance on aging resonated with many, adding a refreshing perspective to the cultural conversation surrounding women and aging.
Wolverhampton’s Warmth: A Unique Charm
However, the discussion took an unexpected turn when renowned chef Rick Stein confessed to never having visited Wolverhampton. Stein, curious about what makes the city special, turned to Knight for insights.
Beverley, with an infectious pride in her voice, extolled the virtues of her hometown. “The thing about Wolverhampton that makes me adore it so much,” she explained, “is the warmth of the folk. They will talk your ears off. They don’t care about your status or achievements; they are just earthy – that is the remarkable thing.”
Defying Stereotypes
Addressing the common misconception that Wolverhampton often finds itself on ‘the worst place to live’ lists, Beverley countered with genuine affection. “Wolverhampton is great,” she asserted, “the people are great, and I just love coming home. I love how earthy and normal people are.”
In a world where preconceived notions often overshadow reality, Beverley Knight’s fervent defense of Wolverhampton serves as a reminder to look beyond stereotypes. Her words paint a vivid picture of a city brimming with warmth, where the authenticity of its people surpasses any negative ranking.
Conclusion: A Hometown’s Champion

Her love for the place she calls home is not just a sentiment but a testament to the vibrant community and spirit that define Wolverhampton.
