Happy Thursday, Shameless pals!

Today, we bring you the electric Dolly Alderton. Dolly is a British columnist, author and podcaster, best known as the co-host of the widely popular current affairs podcast, The High Low. She is also the author of the bestselling memoir, Everything I Know About Love, but is now trying her hand at fiction, on the cusp of releasing her very first novel, Ghosts.

In this chat, Dolly explains what it's like to have half a million people know about her life - both the good parts and the ugly - in her twenties, and why she's so determined to protect her private life in her thirties.

If you’d like more from Dolly, grab her debut novel, Ghosts, here.

Enjoyed this chat? Well, we think you’ll also love our interview with Dolly's podcast co-host, Pandora Sykes.
