Our cat with my new book about the madness of reality TV, out today. Hopefully you’ll be more impressed by it than she is

Well @JacquesPeretti - tis a bloody good book on a pertinent subject of the current era, but alas, Bilbo (who is almost 19 cat years old) was not enamored either. Sorry chap. 😬#RealityShow

for @Independent this week, I spoke to @JacquesPeretti about his new book 'Edge of Reality', which goes behind the scenes of the reality machine, and reveals “one very big, very dark secret the reality TV industry has kept from the beginning”

"It's important to focus on the people who were there and their incredible spirit"
Jacques Peretti, author of Little Bird of Auschwitz, says his mother who faced and survived a firing squad as a child in the camp describes her life since as 'a bonus'

My new book - the story of how my mum escaped death at Auschwitz and found our family, out on Jan 20th. A tale of an extraordinary journey across Europe, and ultimately forgiveness. Told in her own words to me, it’s something I’m very proud of. hachette.co.uk/titles/jacque…
Honoured to have my mum’s story of how she survived Auschwitz and found our family serialised in Telegraph Weekend. As The Talmud says: live well, it is the greatest revenge.
‘Little Bird of Auschwitz’ is published by Hodder on 20th Jan. It’s something I’m very proud of.

In protocol terms, this is a very important decision and Russia is extremely centralized. To use USSR jerseys was probably decided by Putin himself, which shows how he lives in the past. His ideals are Brezhnev & Nicholas I.
#Russia’s ice hockey team donned #SovietUnion uniforms today for #ChannelOneCup. Despite the #USSR collapsing 30 years ago.
They lost, against Finland. So much symbolism in this.
