About

I’m an executive producer with a decade of experience in television and a background in print and digital journalism. As Programme Editor of ITV’s Lorraine, I lead one of the UK’s most watched live daytime shows—broadcasting five hours of live TV every week, reaching 2.7 million viewers weekly and 36 million monthly video views across digital platforms.I run the show day to day—overseeing content, leading an editorial and production team, and working closely with presenters and contributors. Under my editorship, the show has delivered consistent ratings growth and produced campaigns that have had real-world impact.Our Change + Check breast cancer campaign has helped more than 100 people receive an earlier life-saving diagnosis. This was recognised by HRH the King when our choir, made up of women who found their cancer after watching our show, performed at Buckingham Palace. The campaign has twice topped the UK Downloads Chart with charity singles (with Joss Stone and Marti Pellow) and was nominated for a BAFTA. We also launched our bowel cancer awareness campaign No Butts with the late Dame Deborah James and continue to work with her family and Cancer Research UK to break the taboo around checking your poo.I started my career as a newspaper journalist, magazine editor and digital content lead—experience that shaped my editorial judgement and deep understanding of what connects with an audience. I’ve overseen breaking news stories while we've been on air, including global stories like the Oscars, US Presidential elections and the California wildfires. I also edited a special live, rolling news programme after Queen Elizabeth II died, as her coffin was moved from Balmoral, for Good Morning Britain with Kate Garraway solo hosting.In addition, I've focussed on growing Lorraine’s digital footprint across TikTok, YouTube and launched our first vodcast series '5 Days to Better Health' which has had more than 100k views.Whether overseeing breaking news, building long-running campaigns, or developing new digital formats, I care about journalism that informs, connects, and makes a difference.
