How does a pink jacket for Friday look? 🩷 9am, I'm on a NEW news review segment on ITV Good Morning Britain. #news #ITV #GMB #GoodMorningBritain
How does this date night hosting team look? 👊🏻 I’ve been hosting “Bored of Dating Apps” singles socials for a year and a half now ✨ One thing I’ve noticed - many singles are looking for alignment on spirituality, faith and values 🙏
When a pigeon is interested in finishing off your breakfast... #breakfast #pigeon #funny #food #birds
What breed of dog is this? Absolutely beautiful (and distracting me from working on my train journey!)
🧠 Is ADHD mainly genetic or does our environment play a bigger role? 🤔 At my non-fiction Rebel Book Club 📚 Scattered Minds: The Origins and Healing of Attention Deficit Disorder by Dr Gabor Maté. Maté argues that early childhood experiences, stress, and environment play an important role
When your TV outfit reflects your parents’ ancestral culture 👔🌏✨ My parents moved from Kerala, South India to London and gave me and my brothers opportunities they could only dream of 🙏🇮🇳🇬🇧❤️ UK's South Asian Heritage Month (1–31 July) has just a few days remaining so I'm wearing to reflect that!
Jam first or cream first with the scone? I never seem to learn...

I'm gonna tell my grandkids that this was Atomic Kitten. #Worldcup #madonna #ronaldinho #ronaldo #messi
If that's the last we see Lionel Messi play football, well it's been a privilege. Even as a CR7 Ronaldo fan, have to admit Messi is the greatest I've seen. Spain, well deserved World Champions. Maybe England will play Spain Euros final at Wembley 9th July 2028. See you then!
What do you think of the backdrop for a bit of recording? Feels like I'm in a Cluedo set!
Spot the difference 👀 Fair play Argentina, who deserved that. They have a mental resolve like no other international team. But England just invited pressure after we took the lead from Gordon. Defensive strategy by Tuchel worked brilliantly Vs Mexico, Norway, but not this Messi inspired team.
England Argentina score prediction? I'm going 2-1 When you're at a maths educators conference and the England Argentina game is on. Me and my Oxford maths prof friend Dr Tom Crawford rocking our England kits! #WorldCup #England #Argentina
Sad to hear Ann Widdecombe passed away. Having debated with her many times on @jeremyandstormon5.bsky.social, we were always cordial after. My fave memory: filming Celebrity Mastermind 2020. Over lunch, she made me defend the length of school summer holidays! 😭👩🏫 Fierce debate, but kindness after🕊️
How do I look?! 🕴️ A couple of years back, I spoke as guest of honour to Worshipful Company of Actuaries. Talking about... maths of course! I'm back today but as a guest. They kindly donated my fee to charity Stoke Mandeville Spinal Research who have supported my elder brother his whole life
How important are arts and culture to society? Launch of "Made in England: Art and Culture in Changing Times". I've written an essay on value of libraries to our communities. Since my MBE for services to public libraries campaigning, I have continued to lobby for the protection of our libraries.
Behind the scenes... When you keep changing your top for filming. And ignore the fact I'm wearing shorts! #filming #behindthescenes #tv #media #mensfashion
Was this a good enough for missing the England game? #England #Mexico #WorldCup #FIFA26 #Bellingham
When you get to interview Britain's most eminent statistician 🇬🇧📊 Conversation with Professor Sir David Spiegelhalter about risk, probability and coincidences. Part of The Royal Society's science summer exhibition. David's paperback "The Art of Uncertainty" out now (I reviewed for Financial Times)

Quiz: What Take That song is this? When you didn't get tickets for their concert but can still hear the songs... #TakeThat #LondonStadium #TheCircusLive #TheCircus #WestHam
POV: Someone comes over at your Oxford college reunion and says, "Hey!" 😄 Meanwhile, your brain is working overtime trying to remember who they are... 🤔💭 Then it suddenly hits you... You went on TWO dates with them. 🤦🏻♂️😂 Back at my old Oxford college, Lady Margaret Hall summer garden party. 🌿🎓
Do you still engage with your old school, college or uni? Back at my old University of Oxford college annual garden party. I used to be part of my college's alumni association discussing how to engage former students. Chancellor William Hague launching discussions on LMH approaching 150 years.
Is this my sign to finally read Terry Pratchett? 👀📚 I bumped into two people who stopped to say hello... ✨ One manages Terry Pratchett's estate and wrote his official autobiography. 🌍 The other runs the Discworld website. As if that wasn't enough, I'd only recently been gifted Feet of Clay. 😅
I'm a big ginger beer fan in general. But am I being bold in trying the "spicy" ginger ale? Pray for me 🔥🌶️😂
Filming outside 🎥 When the sun's just blazing and there's so much glare, some of the film crew are nice enough to literally be human sun shields!
Genuine question: What's the difference between 7 Up and Sprite?
Happy #FathersDay to my Papa & all dads 🎉 Papa with a 1990s tash, my brothers John, Davey, Tommy, me & my mum 🤔Did you know Father's Day was created by US woman Sonora Smart Dodd after hearing a 1909 Mother's Day sermon? PS check out 90s flowery wallpaper 💐
