It’s the early hours of Monday morning and I am standing in the middle of the road in my favourite M&S pyjamas, my feet wedged into my 12-year-old daughter’s bright blue Crocs, a leopard-print Puffa flung over my shoulders to keep out the cold. I look quite, quite mad – or more mad than normal, I should perhaps say – as I hoot and holler in the general direction of the next-door neighbour’s window.

The strangest thing happened to me this week, as I read the news with my morning bowl of Weetabix. There I was, absent-mindedly flicking between the papers and my breakfast, when I realised that I was a teeny, tiny bit envious of Lily Phillips. Yes, that Lily Phillips. The porn star one, who has repeatedly hit the headlines for her increasingly extreme OnlyFans stunts.

Virginia Giuffre’s death by suicide at the age of 41 should force us all to ask an uncomfortable question: how are we still living in a society where so many victims of sexual abuse are not just left unsupported, but treated as criminals themselves? Suicide is always complex and it is unwise to attribute it to one single thing.

It was not even eight in the morning on Easter Monday, and already I was filled with an ungodly fury aimed at my husband. I was apoplectic, engaged in a rant so indignant I’m pretty sure I woke the neighbours. What, exactly, had Harry done to elicit such a response? Had he been cheating on me, and fathered a love child? Had he spent all our savings on a rocket trip to space? I’m afraid it was far worse than that: he was refusing to argue with me.

Opening up my Instagram feed on Monday morning, I expected the usual: celebrities on lavish Easter getaways and influencers telling me about the latest wellness fad that’s changed their life (this week). Instead, I was confronted with an intervention. ‘We’re reaching out to offer help,’ said the message.

Even by social media’s ever-plummeting standards, it was an extraordinarily mean-spirited post. Lady Victoria Hervey, the socialite friend of Prince Andrew, this week shared a photograph of Virginia Giuffre, the sex trafficking victim of Jeffrey Epstein. The photo was one Giuffre had put on Instagram from her hospital bed, in which she appears bruised and battered, with heart monitor electrodes on her chest.

My daughter will be 12 in a couple of weeks, a year younger than the boy in the hit Netflix drama Adolescence. For her birthday, she wants a laser tag party, and she’s sent me a list of presents she’d like: Posca pens, hair accessories, lip balm, ‘cute clothes’, Nike trainers. Like lots of other girls in her year, she likes Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan, and she has started putting her hair in heat-free curlers that she bought from Primark with her pocket money.

If you ever doubted that a picture is worth a thousand words, then may I refer you to the recent photographs of McFly singer Danny Jones. These photographs have fuelled an entire nation's fevered gossiping for almost two whole weeks now, without the I'm A Celebrity star saying a damn thing. First there was the footage of him standing on a public street in central London, outside a huge Brit Awards party attended by many of the most famous people in the country.

Way back in 2018, the woman then known as Meghan Markle sent me a handwritten note, saying how nice it had been to have lunch together a few weeks before. I was delighted by the politeness of this gesture – how often do you receive such a note in this digital day and age? – not to mention stunned by the neatness of her penmanship, which put my own to shame.

Sometimes it's hard to be a woman. Just ask Selena Gomez. The actress and businesswoman, responsible for a $2 billion beauty empire, turned up at the weekend to the Screen Actors Guild (SAG) awards, where she went on to receive an ensemble gong for her part in Only Murders In The Building. Not that you would have known any of this, so dominated was social media and the internet by commentary about her body, which has changed since she last went to the SAG awards a year ago.
