Lucy is a multi-award nominated writer and blogger with six years’ experience writing about entertainment, parenting and family life. Lucy has contributed content to PopSugar and moms.com. In the last three years, she has transformed her passion for streaming countless hours of television into specialising in entertainment writing. There is now nothing she loves more than watching the best shows on television and telling you why you should watch them.
As a Peaky Blinders superfan, her favourite interview was with the show’s creator, Stephen Knight. She has also collaborated with other writers to produce an anthology full of hilarious parenting anecdotes, entitled We Need To Talk About The Conditions of My Imprisonment.
After spending most of her childhood at ballet school, ballet events, and reading about ballet, Lucy has made peace with not making it as the next Darcey Bussell and instead enjoys mad dancing around the house with her children. She still counts meeting Jeffrey Dean Morgan from The Walking Dead as one of the best moments of her life.
