I was a Fleet Street journalist before joining This Morning as the show's resident soap guru.
During my newspaper career I was TV Editor for News of the World, a columnist on The Sun, and have reported for titles including The Express, The People, The Daily Star and The Mail on Sunday.
As a massive soap fan I now put my newshound skills to good use getting This Morning viewers the exclusive gossip on their favourite shows.
I have also written books including The Naughty Girl's Guide to Life co-written with Tara Palmer-Tomkinson, and my latest, Tabloid Girl.
