In 2017, I took part in Celebrity Masterchef. I put my first dish down in front of the judges and the cameras paused to reset. In front of everyone, Gregg Wallace told me to tell a colleague at the BBC “that she was a sexy bitch.” No-one said anything. And yes, I did complain.

- As that woman-hating rat is sentenced to a whole life order, I won't use his name, I won't post anything with his picture. I only want to see the faces of these three women, the victims of pure misogyny and terror, cut off in their prime. Rest in peace Carol, Louise and Hannah.
- *deep breath* This is my first Christmas tree. I don’t really know how you decorate them. We got a small one so me and my daughter could carry it back. This is for her. And for the 6 year old me who would have done ANYTHING for a Christmas tree. Guess it’s time to let that go.
- Big shoutout to all the single people and the single parents who found today a bit hard. We got there. 😘
- Just realised that a man who once put his hand in front of my face and tick tocked around it, seriously saying that my biological clock was ticking - is now the chairman of an organisation that “champions” women and diversity. But of course he is….
- Just FYI I bloody love being a P**i
- Last week I was too busy to address Danny Kruger’s remarks re staying together for the good of the children. Children deserve a peaceful home with good vibes. I don’t need a husband/partner when I have this absolute beauty behind me, rooting for me. We’re going to be just fine. X
- Replying to @AasmahMirThere was a complaint and he was told to apologise which he did. In an email to a BBC boss I was told that Wallace’s behaviour was “unacceptable” and “couldn’t continue”. Judge for yourself if it has.
- Replying to @AasmahMirI left the competition first. But two female contestants including Ulrika Jonsson told me afterwards that he had told another contestant that the way she was handling fish “looked like a rapist doing foreplay.”
- Some news: Tomorrow’s Saturday Live is my last. It’s been almost 6 years and it’s time for something new. THANK YOU to the team, Radio 4, Richard and the listeners who open their hearts and make us laugh and cry every week. YOU’RE THE FLIPPIN’ BEST. More news next week.
- Audio Presenter of the Year 🎉🎉🎉 Thanks so much @BPGPressGuild for the award. And thanks to @TimesRadio and to you for listening 😘
- Let me tell you about my friend Richard Coles. He wears holey jumpers and eats smelly lunches in the office. He sings the same eight bars of a song all day long. He is also fiercely loyal, loves Scotland and is excellent at swearing. I’ll miss him. ❤️
- I’m officially divorced. Stick that up your Wikipedia.
