WORTHY WINNERS
It was my absolute pleasure to attend the Broadcasting Press Guild awards this week - and meet some serious TV heroes.
JACK THE LAD
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!
In praise of Simon Amstell (or how he convinced me to give up eating meat)
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.
Is ITV's new gameshow Cannonball even more dangerous than The Jump?

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.
