So yesterday, my cousin Lucy calls me, right? She’s like, “You’ll never believe what; Caggie from Made in Chelsea’s had a baby!” And I’m thinking, wait, when did that happen? Last I had heard, she was doing her whole spiritual wellness thing in LA. Shows how well I’ve kept up with reality TV nowadays. But […]
So I’m sitting there last Sunday, absolutely knackered, scrolling through Netflix with a cup of tea going cold. My sister calls and goes, “Have you watched that Queen Charlotte thing yet?” I hadn’t, obviously, been putting it off because I thought it was just more Bridgerton fluff. Two episodes in, and there’s this actor playing […]
My neighbour Sarah’s obsessed with celebrity divorces. Can’t help herself. Last week, she accosted me in the shops, brandishing her phone. “Did you hear that Phil Collins’ ex-wife got £17 million in the divorce?” she said with a look of utter fascination. I hadn’t, but Sarah was just beginning. It seems Jill Tavelman, the ex-wife […]
OK, so last Tuesday I’m at my sister’s house watching After Life, again because I’m obsessed, and she said, “That woman there, the one who’s got the crazy hair, she’s very good, isn’t she?” I was like, ‘Yeah, she’s class,’ and I didn’t know who she was. Turns out it’s Jo Enright. My sister goes […]

Right, so last week I’m standing in Tesco, proper grumpy because they’d run out of my usual sandwich. I’m scanning the magazine shelf; you know how it is when you’re avoiding eye contact with everyone, and there’s this Life & Style mag with some mad story about a soap star’s wedding disaster. Bought it on […]
So I’m having my morning cuppa last Tuesday, scrolling through Instagram like you do, when this photo pops up. Girl who looks exactly like Cindy Crawford did in the 90s. My first thought was, “Blimey! someone’s found some amazing old photos.” Then I read the caption. Kaia Gerber. Cindy’s daughter. And I’m sat there feeling […]
So I sat there last Tuesday, channel hopping because there was absolutely nothing decent on telly. Stumbled across The Vanishing on Film4. Never heard of it before, but the Scottish scenery looked promising enough. After twenty minutes pass, and I’m obsessed. Truly not because of the story, which was alright, but because of this actress […]
Right, I’ll be honest with you. I was round at my mate Charlie’s house last weekend when his mum wandered in during Countryfile. She plonked herself down and said, “That John Craven’s been around for ages; bet he’s been married loads of times, hasn’t he?” Charlie just shrugged, but I was curious. Turns out his […]

Last Sunday I’m in my local café, proper busy morning rush, when this bloke next to me starts showing his mate videos of some French pastry chef making chocolate art. “Mental skills”, he says. “But I wonder what his missus thinks about all this fame.” That got me thinking; everyone’s curious about Amaury Guichon’s wife, […]
