a rare bit of hollywood glamour for me
Much as I love telly - and I am PASSIONATE about British TV in particular - it's always a bit of a thrill to interview a proper, bona fide Hollywood star. Last year I got to chat to Renee Zellweger for the new Bridget Jones film. She was *very* Hollywood but that's not a bad thing. I also talked to her British co-stars, Sally Phillips and Sarah Solemani, who were smart, funny, and opinionated - I had a big girl crush on both.
WORTHY WINNERS
It was my absolute pleasure to attend the Broadcasting Press Guild awards this week - and meet some serious TV heroes.

Recognise this cheeky little up-and-coming comedian? I stumbled across this screen grab in my picture library the other day and it made me laugh out loud. Click here to find out who it is!

TV is a very powerful medium. It can make us laugh, or cry, or both. And it can actually be quite life-changing. I watched just seven minutes of Simon Amstell's film Carnage and haven't eaten a forkful of meat since.

Why Peter Capaldi is the best Doctor Who
As we prepare to wave farewell to Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who this Christmas, I have a small tale to tell about my encounter with him. He is my favourite Doctor Who of all time - and it probably isn't for the reasons you think.
What I learned about Noel Fielding from watching Taskmaster
Chances are, Bake Off fans, you don't know all that much about the new presenter Noel Fielding. Even for Mighty Boosh fans, he's always been fairly elusive when it comes to interviews. But fear not - because Noel was recently on Dave's brilliant show Taskmaster, and it gave us a brilliant glimpse into his character.

Made in Chelsea
I'm not generally much of a reality TV fan but I have a massive soft spot for Made in Chelsea. Don't ask me why - they are utterly objectionable, but it just amuses me! I organised their most glamorous ever shoot in LA...
I interviewed all the Love Islanders and my favourite was...
ITV very kindly ask me to interview the Love Islanders every year (in London, sadly - we do the press day a few days before they fly off to Majorca). Here are the fruits of my labour - and click to find out who was my favourite.
