Media Frenzy!

This week I will mostly be in the media

TV headshot check the airbrushing!

It's like buses - nothing for months then 3 in a row! Occasionally I'm a TV presenter and contributor on the radio. Last night I was on BBC Radio 5 Live in a head to head with the excellently monikered Tom Cheesewright - a tech head who appears regularly on TV. We had a lively discussion on having old stuff versus buying a lot of new stuff. We were well matched, no circulating round the issue for us - straight in. The presenter was perfectly happy sat doing nothing for 10 minutes whilst we sparred back and forth. I am delighted to say that Tom conceded defeat in the Twittersphere - good egg.

Today I was on “MacAulay & Co” with Fred MacAulay on BBC Radio Scotland. It was the first time I've done a live piece with sound effects! Fred and co-host Lesley Kay - pretended to be in a draughty house and, room by room with appropriate sound effects - such as flushing toilet, creaky doors - I took them through a number of money saving wheezes. It was a lot of fun.

For some reason, I'm quite popular as a media pundit in Scotland. This Wednesday and Thursday I'll be in Glasgow filming the second series of 'Too Good To Waste' for STV. I'm one of a few 'expert' presenters who attempt to green up Scottish celebrities such as Kay Adams - a very nice woman indeed. We have worked together a few times, including when I was a guest on Loose Women and Kay was at the helm. We even did Celebrity Weakest Link together! I was pregnant with Jasmine at the time and my brain had turned to candy floss - I was booted off straight after Piers Morgan - who was first sacrifice in view of the fact no one liked him....

This Thursday my lovely husband Gil Schalom and my eldest daughter Lucy Green will be at the Nottingham Evening Post Awards as I can't be there myself. I've been short-listed for an award which is AMAZING - they will either collect an award or go home with a full tummy and empty fist, either way it's all good.
