I knew very little about Joe Marler before this, but he’s fast become one of my favourite contestants. The best Faithful and probably the person I’d most like to see win the entire series. I can see big things for him after this - and deservedly so. #CelebrityTraitors

Really enjoying #Outrageous on U&Drama. The story of the Mitford sisters is a fascinating one that makes a compelling TV drama.

Aside from killing off Martin (which I still think was a big mistake), the Chris Clenshaw era of #EastEnders has been truly phenomenal. His final ep really has the feel of a series finale, after 3 brilliant years. The Six, the 40th + nostalgic build-up, Yolande, Phil, and so much more - what an era.

Where are the #BritishSoapAwards, ITV? Is this because #EastEnders won everything?!

Watching the hour-long, Christmas 1997/Review of the Year episode of #TopOfThePops on BBC Four (I was 13 when it originally aired). So far I’ve known every single word of every song. What a great year of music - and amazing how much the music of your youth stays with you. #TOTP

Binged #Overcompensating, the new show on Prime, in two nights and it’s absolutely brilliant. So many great characters. Keeping everything crossed for a second series.

Happy #Eurovision to all who celebrate! Ahead of the final, here’s my current top choices (couldn’t get it down to just 10!) - but the order could well change tonight.
My predictions? Sweden win the Public Vote, France win the Jury Vote, Portugal get a surprise Top 10 place. 1/2

Here’s my top ten from #EurovisionSemiFinal2 #Eurovision2025

Here goes then! #Eurovision2025 A strong start to #SemiFinal1 from Iceland. #EurovisionSemiFinal1

Yes, Jack! Such an understated but brilliant #CBB housemate, and a deserved winner! Cups of tea with two teabags all round for the winner’s interview! #CBBUK

The fact it should have been longer aside, this series of #CBB has been absolutely perfect - certainly the best one on ITV yet. I genuinely wouldn’t mind if any of the finalists won, though Chris, Jack, JoJo & Chesney are my favourites. So many great moments & tasks. #CBBFinal #CBBUK

My annual reminder that #Pilgrimage is absolutely wonderful telly. It starts on BBC Two tonight, but I’ve already binged the lot today on iPlayer. Another brilliant group of people taking part, stunning Alps scenery, and beautiful chats from the heart. Perfect Easter viewing.

Chesney Hawkes singing ‘I Am The One And Only’ on repeat on #CBBUK reminds me of my University Freshers Ball. Every time he finished that song, we all chanted for him to sing it again. Must have played it five times! #CBB

Tonight’s mental health-focused episode of #EastEnders was sublime. Amazing writing, with so many important messages, and great cameos. Steve McFadden deserves all the awards going. This Phil Mitchell storyline has been such a success - and bringing back Nigel for it was inspired.

Just finished #Adolescence on Netflix and it’s honestly the most incredible & powerful thing I’ve watched in a long time. Stephen Graham is without doubt one of the UK’s finest actors, but every actor in it is sublime. And the fact every episode was filmed in one shot blows my mind.
March 16, 2025 at 5:11 PM
I really enjoyed #PrimeTarget on Apple TV. Leo Woodall is brilliant as the lead, and I loved the maths concept of the show, and the twists and turns of the plot. I really hope there’s a second series.

- Tracey The Barmaid & Ruby die.

On the exact day I was born, a meeting took place to discuss creating a new soap, #EastEnders. 40 years on, it’s still providing appointment viewing & giving us some of the best drama on British TV. So many iconic moments & memories from four decades on screen. #Happy40thEastEnders #EastEnders40

Really impressed with Ross Kemp’s #40YearsOnTheSquare documentary tonight. The tone felt just right and I loved the way it blended nostalgia and celebration with issue-focus and education. And the first #EastEnders40 ep set up the week perfectly. Loved all the photos & nods to the past.
February 17, 2025 at 9:02 PM
I personally think the Martin death hints are a red herring. Chris Clenshaw’s done such a good job celebrating the show’s history, I just can’t see him killing off a legacy character with so much history & the last Fowler. Would be mad if he did!

Jumping on the bandwagon & sharing my #EastEnders40 predictions:

- Reiss & Ruby die

- Sonia leaves to Julia’s Theme with returnee Carol & baby ‘Julia’

- Cindy shoots a daughter dead

- Returns for Little Mo, Zoe + Max

- Mick revealed as alive with amnesia.

Back-to-back Katrina and the Waves is the sign of a good night’s #TOTP if you ask me. In all seriousness though, Love Shine A Light still sounds as anthemic now as it did back in 1997. #TOTP1997 #Eurovision

One of the best things about #BigBoys is that there isn’t a weak link in the cast. Every character is played to perfection and it’s a true ensemble production. Though a special mention has to go to Jon Pointing, whose portrayal of Danny’s depression is 100% BAFTA-worthy.
February 12, 2025 at 11:04 PM
Blown away by the final series of #BigBoys. To go from making you cry with laughter to total gut-wrenching devastation - Jack Rooke is a seriously talented man. Having read his book I saw what was coming & was an emotional wreck from ep 3. Only the best TV makes you feel like that.
