My Week In Media: Zezi Ifore
Your support helps us to tell the story
This election is still a dead heat, according to most polls. In a fight with such wafer-thin margins, we need reporters on the ground talking to the people Trump and Harris are courting. Your support allows us to keep sending journalists to the story.
The Independent is trusted by 27 million Americans from across the entire political spectrum every month. Unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock you out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. But quality journalism must still be paid for.
Help us keep bring these critical stories to light. Your support makes all the difference.
Last week I watched...
Barack Obama on the BBC and on Channel 4 News. He is just amazing. I watched The Apprentice, obviously. I was watching it eyes open and mouth agog – so many classic telly moments. I watched a documentary on hoarders, on Five of all places. It was frightening – I think I'm a hoarder. I started frantically throwing things away.
Last week I surfed...
On bbc.co.uk I read about the passing of Yves Saint Laurent – a legend and one of the greatest couturiers – and the news on Obama [winning the Democrat candidacy race]. It's a brilliant moment in history. He's such an inspiration. He's resilient and determined and just brilliant. Obama all the way! I kept up to date with the Obama campaign largely thanks to an amazing and hilarious American black gossip site called Bossip.com. Check out the "Ho Sit Down" post.
Last week I read...
I feel like I'm in a machine with Big Brother, in the most hardcore boot-camp of my life, so I really don't have much time. In this week's Heat my little face made it onto the cover, which I thought was hilarious. I read the article just to see how stupid I sounded. Then I read i-D magazine, because the love of my life, Mariah Carey, is on the cover. Obviously I savoured every word in that article – pored over it. Mimi was looking fabulous in her bikini, literally fab. Just for giggles, I read an old copy of Love It!, which is my favourite low-rent magazine. It's the best low-rent magazine in the world.
Last week I listened to...
I have a DAB radio in my room, and it's on all day, every day. I listen to Annie Mac on Radio 1. She's fab. She's just brilliant. I love the Irish voice, it's soothing.
Zezi Ifore will co-host the new series of Big Brother's Little Brother on E4, with George Lamb. She is supporting Paper Cuts: What Matters to You?, a writing competition for teenagers organised by the NSPCC's Childline ( www.spinebreakers.co.uk
