Welcome to my website

I’m a journalist and broadcaster, probably best known for co-presenting Channel 4’s How Clean is your House? from 2003-9. In 2013 and 2014 I presented 50 episodes of Storage Hoarders on ITV. In this series I investigated the increasing demand for storage units and the strain that long-term storage can have on finances and relationships. The programmes have been bought by a number of territories outside the UK including Australia, New Zealand and Scandinavia.

I also write a number of regular columns in national publications including My Weekly, Delicious and Sainsbury’s magazine (on food and travel). I am delighted to help judge each year both the Great Taste awards and the Academy of Chocolate awards.

Since I turned 50, in an attempt to delay decrepitude, I’ve taken up yoga, Pilates, running and cycling. I’ve biked across Kenya in aid of Women Against Cancer, London to Paris on behalf of Mind, and London to Brighton for Macmillan. In July 2017 I completed an 18-month training as a yoga teacher.

I’m particularly interested in good food and and wine. I’m a member of the Wine Society and a few years ago produced a cook book with my gorgeous sons Rory and Ewan. Both are now working as chefs in central London (they rarely cook for me, though – always working!)
