It truly hurts my heart when we lose these comedy greats. They are utterly unique and rightly mean so much to us. Laughter is healing and connecting. Thank you #barryhumphries for your dedication to bringing us joy.
I first saw #DameEdna on my 25th birthday. She picked on me which was exhilarating, terrifying & a comedy masterclass. I last saw her on my 40th. #barryhumphries heard & invited me backstage. It was exhilarating, any terror fled by his kindness, and the greatest comedy honour.

What a night!

It’s a shame as I had trials for QPR (didn’t get in), have far reaching football opinions from how well they acted after a dive to kit colour and am woefully cheap, so I was expecting a call…. But my phone’s off. #MOTD
I naively thought Twitter ‘abuse’ might’ve eased. It doesn’t bother me that someone says I deserve cancer coz I’m unfunny or look pregnant with weight gain. It’s the shock of how we treat each other.We all deserve & desire dignity so why do we forget to give that to fellow humans
Remember you are not alone in being alone. Many people are single, grieving, in abusive relationships. Everyone struggles. Singleness is not a lesser trait. #hartsvalentinesday
For five years I’ve done #hartsvalentinesday to chat to people who might be lonely today. I’m not free to be online all day this year. But please use the hashtag to connect to people if this over commercialised day is making you feel low. You are loveable and loved. Fact ❤️

Crying. So brilliant. So important. Too emotional to articulate more. I am glad there are 7 year olds watching this who wanted to be a goalkeeper like I did! But didn’t think it was ‘appropriate’ or ‘allowed’ to voice it. Thank you Lionesses. #Lionesses
And yes Twitter I look forward to all the “thank God for that” etc ! This just for the few that were excited. No need to tell me that you’re relieved 😂

The thing I love most about #WinterOlympics is suddenly becoming an expert in a sport I hadn’t heard of before switching on the telly, let alone understanding the scoring system.
