Last year’s Strictly star Debbie McGee, Countdown host Nick Hewer, Gogglebox’s Steph Parker (pictured above) and Dom, former Corrie actress Amanda Barrie, Casualty’s Sunetra Sarker, comedian James Acaster and Radio 1 DJ Gemma Cairney deal with everything from cookery questions to how best to cope with the festive season when you are on your own, and how to calm family frictions.

As TV Times Highlights Editor I get to hear about all the latest TV shows coming soon. Here at TVT HQ we are in the privileged position of selecting the best programmes from across all the channels and streaming platforms. Our mission is to make it easier for our readers to decide what to watch - and give them lots of choice of genres - all the latest shows, plus some nostalgic choices we call hidden gems, too. My career began with a postgraduate degree in periodical journalism (ahem, yes old school!) in 1991 and I’ve worked in TV media since 2000.
