Sure, you might think of today as Christmas Eve, but to me today is the anniversary of the day I flushed my glasses down the toilet.

LOOK let’s just all admit we fell in love with Joe Wilkinson on #CelebrityTraitors and we’re furious he’s been murdered (maybe not as much as Joe Marler is)

Absolutely fascinating to see a group be so undeniably wrong #celebritytraitors #alsoilovejoewilkinson

Surely if Stephen goes tonight, this so-called ‘Big Dog Theory’ means they’ll just pivot to Jonathan tomorrow? So if I was Jonathan I’d keep shtum #celebritytraitors

Last night I hosted an event and the photographer asked me to pose and I put my hands in my pockets and she said NO you can do ANYTHING so without even thinking about it I did Bruce Forsyth’s pose from The Generation Game 🙃

My toxic trait is I genuinely like all Olly Murs songs 🫣

I googled ‘Disney villain songs’ and it threw up the AI answer first (unasked for, might I add) which included Bad Guy by Billie Eilish. THANKS GOOGLE AI.

This week a woman I had only just met opened the conversation with ‘so I hear both your parents are dead, that must be shit?’ And I thought y’know what Beverley, you are bang on the money. Couldn’t even be mad at this insane opener, had to admire the hustle

I’ve been wearing a Blur t-shirt in Edinburgh at the same time Oasis are performing in the city and honestly it might be the most controversial thing I’ve ever done

This morning I interviewed Deborah Meaden and pitched my idea for a cryptocurrency called Bex Bucks and look, all I’m saying is she wasn’t not interested…

I, a Frasier fan, have a real urge to watch the U21s Euros tonight but I’m not entirely sure why 🤔

Oh boy I don’t care much for the song but I VERY much cared for who the winner was 👀 #eurovision

Loving Sunday Brunch this morning- ending each feature by saying they’re running out of time! Tim getting Jack Rooke’s name and show wrong! The random musician being an unexpected star! Guy from Casualty being incredibly intense! Pure chaos, total perfection, 5 stars.

Andi Oliver never winning a Bafta for presenting Great British Menu is a TRAVESTY. The heart, the joy, the knowledge- she has it all!

Not in any way a Hot Take but I sincerely love Romesh Ranganathan on Radio 2. Funny, dry wit yet warmth at the same time. I will literally go out of my way to listen to him and isn’t that the aim for every presenter?

I'm a judge for the Publishers' Publicity Circle Awards this year and the fact I am one of six people trusted to judge campaigns for all the incredible books that came out in 2024 is blowing my mind. SO excited to get stuck in! #BookSky www.thebookseller.com/news/campaig...

In case you didn't know, I made an award-winning podcast called Getting Emotional, about feelings you've felt but didn't know there was a name for. Guests included Rankin, Nish Kumar, Clare Balding and loads more! I'm making more eps this year but in the meantime... podfollow.com/getting-emot...

What’s that you say? My car failed its MOT? And my hob is broken? And I need a new fridge? And my oil tank has split so I need a new one of those? And now I’ve found a leak in my shower? What a FUN collection of unexpected expenses 🥰

Alriiight I've joined the cool kids and have finally begun a Substack all about #kidslit- my recommendations, opinions, and some VERY questionable Spotify playlists. If you fancy giving it a lil read, or even a mighty follow, I'd be thrilled..! #booksky bexlindsay.substack.com/p/bex-on-boo...

Alright, I watched Hot Frosty so you don’t have to. I will gladly answer any questions about what turned out to be the best, worst, weirdest, classiest film ever.

Hey BookSky! 💙📚 I’m on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row at 7pm tonight, discussing the rise of celebrity children’s authors. A controversial topic in the author community, so let’s hope I do it justice..! #booksky

Oh man, watching #TheGirlsAloudShow and seeing them sing The Promise while honouring Sarah Harding’s vocals really got me in the feels. Great tune, great band, great choice. #girlsaloud

Absolutely convinced the editors of #boybandsforever purposely put a clip of 1990s Andi Peters next to current day Andi Peters to show that the man must have some secret to eternal life we all don’t know about

I suppose my main reason for being here is to find people with similarly conflicting views on the new Bridget Jones movie. Like, I loved the first and third, hated the second, worry for the fourth, don't like they've killed Darcy, but get that it happens in the books. Just a lot of emotions, y'know?
