"I loved my time at Goldsmiths. Although a large part of it was spent socialising in the hallowed halls of the Students’ Union, I did enjoy the lectures. Coming from York, I’ve always loved history, which was why I chose to study the BA in History. However, the degree has also been extremely useful. Just like studying history, journalism is all about investigating stories. Since leaving OK! at the end of 2012 I’ve become a freelance writer, and I’m still involved in celebrity culture. Like most of Britain, I’m totally obsessed with celebrity. It’s prozac for the masses!"
