A few years ago I would rather have admitted to being a Justin Bieber fan than a feminist. To me the term “feminist” was someone who banged on about “causes” and “campaigns” and looked a lot more like Germaine Greer than Angelina Jolie. They were feminists because they had to be right? I am experiencing [...]

I was in a shop recently trying on a dress when a male shop assistant came over to see if I needed any help. I was deliberating over whether or not to buy a yellow lace dress and was doing that thing we do when we swish about, checking it from the back, then the [...]

Ok. Family change about right now. We are in LA. The kids are with us which is fantastic whilst we run around to meetings, but the downtime is fairly interesting. As Londoners, we get up and take the kids to school, then slowly wind into our day. This doesn’t happen in LA. You wake up [...]

Today I was sent another email asking to help “stamp out bullying”. I’ve had a few of these and they are all from valid worthy causes. Bullying is a horrible thing to happen to anyone. Most of us have experienced some kind of bullying. At school I had a few months of it and can [...]

The first time we met Chantelle Houghton, it was 2004. She entered The Celebrity Big Brother House as a non-celebrity. By 2004 Big Brother was in full swing. Initially no-one knew how the public was going to react to Big Brother. It was a warped popularity contest and as the show grew, it attracted all [...]

One of the great things about my job as a stand-up is that it means I can be anywhere doing anything. I love this unpredictability. I have no definite routine and this suits me very well. I can be at a comedy club one day, hosting a fashion show the day after and recording a [...]

I have to say I was one of the people who thought the Olympics would be a pain in the arse. As a Londoner I initially thought it might be ok, so I applied for tickets. As my mates and I worried about how we’d pay for the hundreds of tickets we’d asked for, it [...]

The past few months I have been thinking a lot about how women view themselves. In April Samantha Brick wrote an article about what a terrible trial it was for her to be beautiful. She became the subject of a twitter storm with people saying the most awful things about her. Is thinking she is [...]

In New York this week a study has been published that says working mothers are healthier than stay-at-home mums. Apparently they are less depressed and report a better general overall health than mothers who stay at home full-time. I don’t know the best way to do things. I muddle through and try my best and [...]

I’ve not blogged for a while. I’ve been caught up in the whirlwind stages of a newborn whilst working and trying to make sure the other two don’t feel marginalised because a baby has turned up. I get a a lot from my children. It is really hard work but it’s supposed to be. For [...]
