Who cooks the food on #TheTraitors? It looks really tasty. I love Romesh’s theory about Traitors not eating carbs but in a castle full of celebs that would make everyone a Traitor. Jerry definitely hasn’t had a carb since 1979.

It’s #UMK season which is every bit as exciting as #Eurovision for me! Really hoping to get back to Finland this year, if only so I can show Linda Lampenius my Linda Lampenius outfit… 😂

Why has the UK been doing badly at Eurovision? It’s safe to say I have some OPINIONS! FYI I am available if MPs wish to hear my TED Talk on this, but here’s a handy summary: escinsight.com/2026/09/25/s... #Eurovision #UK

I’ve got so much to say about this one. I’m on BBC Radio Somerset at about 4.45 today talking about it & I’ve just authored a piece which I hope will go live this week. There’s a reason the UK isn’t getting points at #Eurovision and politics isn’t it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

Hear me out Eurofam: Ok so apparently Gen Z is bringing back garage. I am still banging the drum for the UK to bring garage to Eurovision. It’s uniquely British. We need to do this in 2027! @eurotrippodcast.com We talked about this on your podcast before! www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s really weird to notice, little by little, your parents getting older. Today my Mum was unable to sit down on a picnic blanket, which she always used to do. There have been a few little things like this that made me realise. It’s a bit sad.

Ok help me out here, Bluesky. We’re off to stay with friends in Germany who used to live in the UK. We want to bring them a gift. We’ll obvs ask if there’s anything they want from here, but what are some good gift ideas for things to take them?

There’s a flaw in the voting system for #Eurovision this year which could leave the televote open to manipulation. An important piece of research by Sharleen Wright @escinsight.com - will the EBU respond? escinsight.com/2026/05/15/h...

Euroclub not doing refunds or transfers when you’re having a family emergency is really crap. What’s up with that?! Surely they want the venue full and to be able to resell the ticket?

Guys I don’t want to alarm you but I’ve just had word from a friend in Vienna that Hotel Sacher ran out of Sachertorte this morning. The waitress said it’s the first time in 15 years this has ever happened. How much cake are my fellow Eurovision freaks eating?! 🍰

For Eurovision 2026, juries will be expanded from five to seven members. The EBU have made it a requirement that two juror members for 2026 need to be young music professionals from 18 to 25. Ben Robertson investigates what difference, if any, this change might make on the Eurovision scoreboard/

Someone left some kind of ginger merkin thing at the pub on St Paddy’s night and this is the sort of event that the local Facebook groups were invented for. Inspector Poirot and Wagatha Christie have nothing on these people.

My husband has invited 13 ppl for lunch this Sunday. He has enough meat to feed about 20 ppl but has given no thought to the fact that we only have 6 plates, most of which are chipped. He does not see why we should buy new plates. So it looks like we’ll be feasting with our hands like Henry VIII.
