Boston here I come!!!




Well it’s officially a month now, including my two weeks training, that I’ve been in the Xpose office. It’s gone by faster than any other month in my life and it’s been action packed to say the least.

I started off getting to grips with covering fashion on the show. I’ve never done anything like that before so it was a challenge, but I love my fashion so I loved it! From Brown Thomas to Marks & Spenser’s Autumn/Winter collection catwalks, I was at them all. There’s some great deals to be had this season with prices coming down a little bit, and the 80’s are truly back in vogue!

I’m just back from covering the Inside Soap awards in London the other night. Talk about madness! All the stars from Eastenders, Coronation Street and all the big soaps were there. Soapstars love their nights out and the awards were no exception. The cast of Eastenders won best soap and they were out to celebrate in force. I had a great night on the red carpet but I was exhausted afterwards so I went back to the hotel and stuffed my face with pizza! What a contrast to the glamour of the awards.

One of the highlights has to be my interview with Shakira which goes out on Xpose next Friday. I expected her to be a complete diva but she was actually so nice! OK… she did keep me waiting for two hours to interview her, but she made up for it in the interview. Who knew Shakira was actually a bit of craic! She had me laughing for most of the interview and her English is really good.

The most shocking event of the week is Paddy Power putting me at 50/1 to be the next James Bond and 100/1 to win an Oscar!!! Has the world gone mad! My life can’t get any crazier… or any better! The reason this has all happened is because I’m going to be in an MGM film! I’m going to Boston for a week in October to be in Kevin James’ new film Zookeeper. I interviewed Kevin earlier this year for his hit movie ‘Mall Cop’ and he wrote me a small part in the film because we had such a laugh! I’m being flown over first class and I’m staying with the cast in a 5 star hotel. I’ve never travelled first class so I’m excited about that as well. Can’t wait to get out there and do it. Me, in a real high budget Hollywood movie, what on earth will happen to me next!!!
