I love Christmas, I'm a sucker for goodwill

TESCO MAGAZINE, RICKY GERVAIS INTERVIEW, CELEBRITY JOURNALISM

As celebrity editor of Tesco magazine (which has a readership of around 6 million) I was responsible for all of the publication's celebrity content. I secured a number of exclusives, speaking to A-list actors, presenters and pop stars who usually prefer to keep their private lives just that. From a rare personal chat with British comedian Ricky Gervais, subsequently picked up and used in news stories by a number of national media including The Sun, The Mirror, The Daily Express and Metro, to Hollywood celebs like David Schwimmer, the stars all revealed their more intimate side to me. As editor of Asda Magazine’s website I also sourced and spoke to high profile celebs who include Will Ferrell and Ashley Jensen for exclusive interviews for the website.

I have contributed on a freelance basis to publications including The Sun and Sun Online, The Times, The Daily Express, Take It Easy (the People magazine), High Life, The Jewish Chronicle and regional and online publications, writing celebrity interviews and gossip. I was a regular contributor to The Chat, The London Paper’s tongue-in-cheek celebrity interview column, as well as its celeb gossip and news section. And I wrote celebrity interviews for its competitor the London Lite.
