On the Colour Couch with artist, Liz West
Back in 2016, I went to the Natural History Museum to see their ‘Colour and Vision’ exhibition which explored the evolution and diversity of colour in the animal world.

If Justine looks familiar, it’s likely you saw her on The Big Interiors Battle on Channel 4 last year.

Read MoreOn the Colour Couch with BBC Interior Design Masters Ry Elliott
I met Ry back in April at YesColours’ 1st birthday party and we hit it off straight away, only to find out we lived not far from each other. Now I have to admit I didn’t know who Ry was despite everyone being excited to meet him. I guess that’s one way to get caught…
Read MoreOn the Colour Couch with fashion and textile designer Dame Zandra Rhodes
The first thing people ask me when I say I’ve interviewed Dame Zandra Rhodes for the Colour Couch is ‘is she nice?’. I think we always hope our heroes will be nice when we meet them in person. And it was really easy for me to reply, Zandra is so friendly and down to earth…
