Let there be LIFE!! I can’t put into words how magical it was to see the first signs of life and know that somehow, some way the stars aligned and not only was the egg fertile but the journey home didn’t render it a dud. Nature is incredible. I’m so invested in this little life and can’t wait to share more updates as I feverishly study everything there is to know about mallard ducks (which is what I’m lead to believe this egg is from). My ADHD side obsession has been activated and cannot be stopped now 🥰🦆 #duckdaddy #rescue #duck
I think a few people may have fainted. Listen up fellas, Miriam has spoken 💀🧀 @faneproductions #miriammargolyes
Not the duckling update many were asking for, but it’s on the way (today or tomo, promise!). Apologies to the friend whose dental retainer made it into this pic. Love you and you shall remain nameless my straight toothed hun❤️🦷 Happy Sunday gang! X
Miriam for Prime Minister anyone? More clips from this wild interview to come. I adore this woman 😂🫶 #miriammargolyes @faneproductions
MIRIAM! We laughed, we swore, she told me off, I loved it, we heard incredible stories and the thousands of us in the room sat in awe as she weaved in and out of characters, accents and opinions most wouldn’t dare share. She is exactly what you’d expect in real life, just warmer and kinder. Then to wake up and receive a FaceTime from the woman herself saying how much she enjoyed it.. pinch me! Thank you Miriam, @deena.mavji, Darren, Elliot and @faneproductions. Some clips from the show to come and the ‘Oh Miriam! Live’ tour continues if you want to see the magic for yourself✨ (I’m obsessed with the third photo which was taken just after I gave her a very special gift and she quietly examined it in her dressing room. Will share what it was soon) #MiraimForPM #ilovemyjob #miriammargolyes

He could normally buy the plane, but on this occasion, couldn’t even buy a packet of nuts. Gotta love the founder of @virginatlantic flying @easyjet on his hols and *trying* to be mister generous. Hope they bought you a cheeky lil snack @richardbranson! 😂✈️ 🥜

Let me tell you a story about this incredible woman. 10 months ago I was unbelievably nervous whilst standing side stage about to host the closing panel discussion at at the aviation sustainability world summit. I was about to interview industry experts about something incredibly complex and technical. Imposter syndrome began to creep in, but I pushed through it. I felt out of place as a journalist and aviation fanatic. “What am I doing here? I’m not IN the industry, just obsessed with talking about it.” One of panellists was @rachel_gardnerpoole. Her CV reads like a roadmap of female empowerment. Let’s just say she’s a BOSS in the world of aviation and sustainability having worked with government, global charities and leadership at the Civil Aviation Authority. To me she was essentially Angelina Jolie. Rachel radiated this warm, interested and passionate energy that put me right at ease. After the event she stayed back to offer me advice on how I could navigate pilot training with ADHD. We decided to share a car back to London and on that journey I heard (part of) her life story paving the way as a woman in a male dominated industry, the roadblocks put in her way and how her dreams of working with airplanes from the age of six spurred her on. Since that day the most beautiful friendship blossomed and Rachel feels like she’s been a lifelong friend. She’s become a role-model, guidance counsellor, confidante and someone I can chat the night away with about anything and everything. And we have multiple times! Last night she brought me to an inspiring event at the Houses of Parliament showcasing the importance of diversity in aviation across race, gender, sexuality and neurodivergence hosted by @theairleague, an organisation helping those from minority backgrounds break into the industry with scholarships and mentoring. I guess there’s no single point to this post other than highlighting a wonderful person working to help the planet AND people who might otherwise fly under your radar if you’re not an airplane fanatic. Rach, you’re a rockstar! ✈️🤘

Today’s heartbreaking news that a non-binary 16-year-old was beaten to death in an Oklahoma school bathroom reminded me of this clip from my docu-series Queer Britain. In light of the attack, I think the experiences shared here are particularly poignant. Imagine fearing for your safety, or even your life, every time you need to visit a public space that should be so mundane and thoughtless. This interview was carried out 7 years ago, but sadly the lived experiences of people like Sarah and Harry still ring true in 2024. If anything, things have gotten worse for the the trans and GNC community. This LGBT History Month check in on your friends, colleagues and family members who may be going through experiences like this, petition your MPs, support queer charities, queer-owned businesses and amplify voices within the community. If you follow me, you’re most likely queer or an ally. If you’re the former, hey fam! If you’re the latter, thank you!! #LGBTHistoryMonth #NexBenedict
Just a pair of MasterChef champs trying to out-colour each other. I think you won @kimberlywyatt 💖 This morning was the annual BAFTA breakfast with my incredible agency @intertalentgroup. Being in a room filled with some of the best and brightest presenters, actors, digital creators, producers, commissioners and talent agents always leaves me SO inspired and ready to kick things up a level. Thanks for another great morning making connections and magic happen @jonathanshalit, @alex_segal11, @millyjbell, @stanleyjohngordon, @caitlinraeboyle ✨

Big announcement!! These rascals have only gone and become the new @lilyskitchenpetfood ambassadors 🤩 My fatherly pride is off the charts right now. When Claire came into my life four years ago I spent hours researching the best food for my new precious kitten and Lily’s Kitchen came out on top every time across all the parameters I was looking at. Made with natural ingredients, vet approved, complete nutrition, price and variety. Claire (and more recently Luca) have been loving it ever since. It’s made from proper meat without fillers like grains and is a nutritionally complete food like I mentioned above meaning it contains everything they need to be happy, healthy and active cats. Here’s to the next year of mega cute content repping a brand we genuinely love and believe in 💛 ad
