Tomorrow at 5.15pm on BBC1 you are invited to watch the June Challenge live. I will be appearing on the Weakest Link to complete the challenge set by Anneka French; to appear on a TV quiz show or game show […]

The last six months have passed in bit of blur…2011 has had a decidedly unstable start but this week marks the end of an era and the beginning of another. Two weeks ago I quit my job… I do now […]
