Last night I hosted an event and the photographer asked me to pose and I put my hands in my pockets and she said NO you can do ANYTHING so without even thinking about it I did Bruce Forsyth’s pose from The Generation Game 🙃

My toxic trait is I genuinely like all Olly Murs songs 🫣

Absolutely! Be Prepared, Shiny, Poor Unfortunate Souls- some bangers!

I googled ‘Disney villain songs’ and it threw up the AI answer first (unasked for, might I add) which included Bad Guy by Billie Eilish. THANKS GOOGLE AI.

This week a woman I had only just met opened the conversation with ‘so I hear both your parents are dead, that must be shit?’ And I thought y’know what Beverley, you are bang on the money. Couldn’t even be mad at this insane opener, had to admire the hustle

I’ve been wearing a Blur t-shirt in Edinburgh at the same time Oasis are performing in the city and honestly it might be the most controversial thing I’ve ever done

This morning I interviewed Deborah Meaden and pitched my idea for a cryptocurrency called Bex Bucks and look, all I’m saying is she wasn’t not interested…

Hey baby, I hear the U21 Euros a-callin’, Elliott’s headers and Nwaneri’s megs

I, a Frasier fan, have a real urge to watch the U21s Euros tonight but I’m not entirely sure why 🤔

Was wondering why twitter was so dry about Eurovision then realised all my fave live-posting people are here 🥰

Just watching that episode of Frasier where there’s some kind of misunderstanding

Loving Sunday Brunch this morning- ending each feature by saying they’re running out of time! Tim getting Jack Rooke’s name and show wrong! The random musician being an unexpected star! Guy from Casualty being incredibly intense! Pure chaos, total perfection, 5 stars.

Andi Oliver never winning a Bafta for presenting Great British Menu is a TRAVESTY. The heart, the joy, the knowledge- she has it all!

How many potatoes are too many potatoes? (I would say I’m asking for a friend but we all know that’s not true)

Not in any way a Hot Take but I sincerely love Romesh Ranganathan on Radio 2. Funny, dry wit yet warmth at the same time. I will literally go out of my way to listen to him and isn’t that the aim for every presenter?

Good afternoon to everyone but specifically to the man who just stared me dead in the eye as I ate an Easter Egg in my car in the Tesco car park xoxo

I'm a judge for the Publishers' Publicity Circle Awards this year and the fact I am one of six people trusted to judge campaigns for all the incredible books that came out in 2024 is blowing my mind. SO excited to get stuck in! #BookSky

In case you didn't know, I made an award-winning podcast called Getting Emotional, about feelings you've felt but didn't know there was a name for. Guests included Rankin, Nish Kumar, Clare Balding and loads more! I'm making more eps this year but in the meantime... podfollow.com/getting-emot...
