_ Some facts about me:

I worked in editorial at the Radio Times (the UK’s leading listings magazine) for six years before turning freelance in 2006.

Before the Radio Times my career included stints in the BBC World News press office, at Girl Talk magazine, at BBC Worldwide, licensing toys across Europe for Teletubbies at the height of their popularity, and at health focused PR company, Santé.

I’ve been with my partner for more than 20 years (since college) and we have two daughters.

I drive a quite ugly (and dented) plumber’s van with windows.

I like guinea pigs more than cats.

I have a before-they-were-famous story about me and Blur guitarist Graham Coxon.

I can’t draw. At all.

I Tweet. A lot.

I’m quite accident prone.

One of my most embarrassing memories involves me, a Dalek and Graham Norton.

I’m more handbags than shoes.

I’ve seen Michael Buerk dance.
