Royal Ascot 2009

I was at Royal Ascot all week covering the fashion for the BBC with the lovely James Sherwood, the oracle on threads. It has been a few years since we worked together so I was really thrilled to be back on the box with him. I wore outfits by Jasper Conran, Bruce Oldfield and Ralph Lauren. My gorgeous hats were provided by Philip Treacy, Emily-London and Inga Roubi. I was very lucky and am extremely grateful to all of them for helping me out at such short notice.

James and I had an enormous amount of fun together and I lost a lot of money on the gee gee’s! Frankie lost me a packet! So if you ever see me never take a tip from me: I am hopeless.

Gadget Show Series 12

Our filming is well underway for series 12. The boys and I have been head to head in various challenges and I have a feeling that this series will be our best yet. It is now 5′s flagship programme and we are all very proud of that, we get to do some incredible things and handle some amazing tech. I can’t give anything away about the challenges but have posted a few pics of some of the filming. Up till now I have been a London courier, raced a Range Rover against banger cars but from a hut, ridden electric bikes, driven electric cars, discovered our top 5 50cc scooters, sports watches, been down the longest zip-wire in the country and even took part in another treasure hunt with the lovely Anneka Rice ! And that’s just 4 shows!

Oh and there was a F1 experience thrown in for good measure! This will be a long-running series with 21 episodes and will run until Christmas, the fun starts on August 3rd. The line up is the regulars, Jase, John, Ortis and myself.
