I donāt know what to think about that article. Total respect for her coming off social media and I completely sympathise with where she was, lockdown sent everyone a bit mad and the Sea Captain stuff was silly fun and Iām glad she ceased making her daughter into a source of material.
Everyone I know who had a baby in Covid times went a bit cuckoo and to know that youāre a bad match with your husband and having a new baby is a toxic brew.
But something about this doesnāt ring true and I donāt know why. I think sheās a real talent and Iāve said it before - sheās got a choice here: either stay in your lane of writing really good, relatable comedy drama (and really challenge Sharon Horgan for that crown, I can think of nobody else that comes close) or be the flashy 90s throwback and be all hair extensions, Turkey teeth and shagging.
But I canāt see how sheās going to manage both.
Just praying she packs in Buzzcocks, she is truly awful on that and so great at writing, I think she would be fine with the latter alone.
