Senior Entertainment Reporter – Editorial

What do you do at PinkNews? My role is a pretty varied one, but I spend most mornings writing up news articles about the biggest and best things unfolding in queer entertainment, and then my afternoons conducting and writing up interviews with queer stars. I also spend a lot of time planning ahead on what gay stuff is going to be exciting in the entertainment world in the weeks and months ahead.

What is your Roman empire? I veer between: when is Lorde releasing L4, when will they make a version of Matilda in which Ms Trunchbull is canonically queer, and why did Lineysha Sparx not win the first episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race season five.

Best moment at PinkNews so far? As a massive pop music gay, the fact that I've been able to interview Dannii Minogue, Slayyyter, Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Idina Menzel, Nadine Coyle, The Aces, and Olly Alexander feels a little special.
